The court held that under Order 28 rule 7 a counterclaim in originating summons proceedings is not properly before the court unless made in the manner directed by the court; absent such a direction a judge has no jurisdiction to adjudicate the counterclaim. The judgment on the counterclaim was set aside and the appeal allowed; the defendants were denied a fair adjudication of their counterclaim.
