In Brief
The Managing Director of Sikkim Power Development Corporation sought revision of an order rejecting their application under Order VII Rule 11 of the CPC to dismiss a counter claim. The applicant contended that the date of cause of action was not specified, breaching Order VIII Rule 6A of the CPC. The court held that specifying the cause of action is not a requirement for filing a counter claim under the procedural rules. The trial court's order did not suffer from perversity, illegality, or jurisdictional error. Accordingly, the Revision Petition was dismissed in limine.
