UNIWORLD LOGISTICS PVT. LTD. versus INDEV LOGISTICS PVT. LTD.

UNIWORLD LOGISTICS PVT. LTD. versus INDEV LOGISTICS PVT. LTD.

Because the respondent had expressly reserved its rights in the first suit to claim arrears and damages, and the two suits arose from separate causes of action with leave granted under Order II Rule 2(3) CPC, the second suit for recovery of arrears and damages was maintainable; therefore the High Court order granting leave and dismissing the rejection application was correctly upheld.

Respondent

Procedural Posture

Civil Appeal / Appeal Against High Court Judgment and Order Dated 24.11.2016 (civil Appeal No. 7308 of 2024)

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether a second suit for arrears of rent and damages is maintainable or barred under Order II Rule 2 CPC where a prior suit for injunction and possession expressly reserved the right to claim arrears and damages and leave was granted to file a separate suit
  2. 2 Whether reservation of rights in the first suit and leave under Order II Rule 2(3) CPC precludes rejection of the subsequent plaint under Order VII Rule 11(d) CPC

Ratio Decidendi

Because the respondent had expressly reserved its rights in the first suit to claim arrears and damages, and the two suits arose from separate causes of action with leave granted under Order II Rule 2(3) CPC, the second suit for recovery of arrears and damages was maintainable; therefore the High Court order granting leave and dismissing the rejection application was correctly upheld.
