J.Jeyakrishnan v. Gemini Industries and Imaging Ltd

ORDER The instant Application has been taken out by the 8th defendant seeking to reject the plaint as being barred by the law of limitation.

¶2It is to be noted that the issue of limitation is a mixed question of law and facts and therefore, the Application to reject the plaint on the ground of limitation as also is barred under Section 8 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act does not deserve merits. If there is any of arbitration clause, it is for the applicant to file necessary Application under section 8 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act and Order VII Rule 11 of CPC to reject the plaint is not Page3 of 5 maintainable on the same.

¶3Hence, the ground raised by the Applicant to reject the plaint does not deserve any consideration. Accordingly, the Application stands dismissed. No order as to costs.

¶4In view of the dismissal of the Application, four weeks time is granted to the applicant/8th defendant for filing written statement. 06-07-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order ssk To
