Case Note & Summary
The dispute arose from a property partition involving land in Survey Nos. 700/A7B and 706/A9 of Nandyal Town, Kurnool District, Andhra Pradesh. The original owner, Nasyam Jamal Saheb, died, and his five children partitioned the properties under a registered partition deed dated 11.03.1953. Sarambee, one of the children, received 1 acre 16 cents in Survey No. 706/A9 and executed gift deeds in 1968 to her daughters Kareembee and Ashabee, and sons Khasimsa and Abdul Rajak. Subsequent partitions and sales occurred, including registered sale deeds dated 24.08.2010 by Khatif Khaja Hussain and Khatif Noor Ahammed, sons of Kareembee, selling land to the appellants. The appellants, as original defendant Nos. 9 & 10, filed an application under Order VII Rule XI of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (CPC) for rejection of the plaint. The Trial Court dismissed the application, and the High Court affirmed this dismissal in Revision Petition (CRP) No. 179/2021. The appellants appealed to the Supreme Court, arguing that the plaint should be rejected. The core legal issue was whether the application under Order VII Rule XI of CPC was correctly dismissed. The Supreme Court analyzed the facts and procedural history, finding no merit in the appeal. The court upheld the decisions of the lower courts, dismissing the appeal and affirming the rejection of the application under Order VII Rule XI of CPC.
