Basil Attipetty Vs. State of Kerala

Court: Kerala

Decided on: Mar-15-2012

V. Ramkumar, J. The appellant who is appearing as a party-in-person, challenges the order dated 12.12.2011 passed by the District Judge, Ernakulam, returning the plaint evidently for production before the proper Court. The impugned order merely reads “returned”. O.VII R.10(2) envisages a speaking order. The order returning the plaint under R.10 of O.VII is appelable under O.XLIII R.1(a) C.P.C. That was all the more reason why Court below ought to have passed speaking order while returning the plaint. The order which reads “returned” is a cryptic and laconic order which cannot stand the scrutiny of a court of appeal. Hence, the impugned order is set aside and the appellant is permitted to re-present the plaint before the court below which shall pass a speaking order. Dated this the 15th day of March, 2012....
