[Order VII Rule 11 CPC] Courts must read entire pleadings before rejecting a plaint: Supreme Court

The Supreme Court on Monday observed that while considering an application under Order VII Rule 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC) 1908, the Court has to go through the entire plaint or pleadings and cannot reject the plaint by reading only few lines/passages and ignoring the other relevant parts [Sri Biswanth Banik and Another v. Smt. Sulanga Bose and Others].
