Judgment text as reported

PRESIDENT, ZARAI TARAQIATI BANK LIMITED, HEAD OFFICE, ISLAMABAD VS KISHWAR KHAN O. VII, R. 11---Rejection of plaint---Principles---Order VII, Rule 11, C.P.C. enlightens and expounds rejection of plaint if it appears from the averments articulated in the plaint to be barred by any law or discloses no cause of action---Court is under obligation to give a meaningful reading to the plaint and if it is manifestly vexatious or meritless in the sense of not disclosing a clear right to sue, the court may reject the plaint---With the aim of deciding whether the plaint discloses cause of action or not, the court has to perceive and grasp the averments made in the plaint and the accompanying documents---In case of any mix question of law and facts, the right methodology and approach is to let the suit proceed to written statement and discovery and determine the matter either on framing preliminary issues or regular trial---Order VII, Rule 11, C.P.C. does not justify the rejection of any particular portion of the plaint or in piecemeal as the concept of partial rejection is seemingly incongruous to the said provision.
