Suit stand dismissed on some grounds want to know my rights


27-Feb-2023 (In Property Law)

Case of immovable property. My question is Why suit is not maintainable? In the order ''The suit stands dismissed on the ground that simplicitor suit for declaration without seeking consequential relief of possession is not maintainable''. The plaintiff is not asking for relief of possession, just want declaration and null & void of documents? Is it correct that suit is not maintainable? What should we do in this case? What happened, if person is not capable to pay the cost for relief of possession?

Any suit for simple declaration without prayer of possession cannot be dismissed on the the ground that possession has not been prayed but as per law the plaintiff can not claim in future the possession of the property since Order 2 rule to prohibit it. You have to file appeal against this order.

You can file the suit for declaration only when you are undisputed owner and as well in "actual physical possession of the property" however in following cases you have to file the suit for possession with declaration

1) if you are owner but dispossessed from property
2) if you are not owner but dispossessed from property

if you have no sufficient means to pay the court fee than you can file the suit as papuer (i.e. as poor person) and seek exemption from filing the court fee but in such case at first stage after inquiry the court will determine whether you are able to pay the court fee or not and only after determination of your capacity to pay the court fee the actual suit will be taken up for consideration

It depends on the facts which unless elaborated will be difficult for me to satisfy your query. It is however not necessary to file suit for consequential relief along with declaration.The suit is maintainable if the ground is this only.
