    The High Court allowed the appeal because the Sessions Court erred in disposing of the action under Order 33 r.2 & r.5: material facts and the contractual terms governing the fixed deposits were not pleaded or evidenced sufficiently to determine when the cause of action accrued; therefore summary dismissal was inappropriate and the matter must be remitted for full trial.
