Civil Procedure Code, 1908 (V of 1908) Order 12,
Rule 4 - Suit for Declaration - Contention that provisions cannot be
invoked before filing the written statement - It would be probably appropriate that if the written statement is also filed and when issues are framed, any party may apply to a court under
Order 12 Rule 4 CPC to cause admissions to be made and obviate the scope of proving matters which are admitted and thereby saving time and expenses for both the court and the parties for
proving matters which are admitted.(179) P.L.R.

Rule6 - Appellant-defendant also filed the Suit for Specific Performance, which of course is contested
by the respondent-landlord - When such issues arising between the parties ought to be decided, mere admission of relationship of landlord and tenant cannot be said to be an unequivocal

Civil Procedure Code, 1908 (V of 1908) Order 12,
Rule6 - Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 (26 of 1996) - Proceedings - Learned single Judge, in

Rule6 - Confers wide discretion on the Court to pass judgment either at the stage of the suit on the

property, had been dismissed - Plaintiff filed suit against the defendant/appellant who is her son, for recovery of possession and damages alleging that she had purchased the suit property
out of her own fund and she is the absolute owner, but part of the property was under the illegal occupation of the appellant-defendant - Having regard to the question of ownership already
decided in the earlier suit filed by the defendant/appellant - The said issue need not have to be decided afresh and hence on the basis of the finding of ownership decided in favour of the
plaintiff/respondent, the suit has to be decreed so far as the recovery of possession is concerned.(S.C.)(180) P.L.R.
Civil Procedure Code, 1908 (V of 1908) Order 12,
Rule6 - Industrial Relocation Scheme 1996 - Because there is no clear and unequivocal admission of a
proper allotment of industrial plot, as there was only a recommendation - In fact, there was no actual allotment of an industrial plot in favour of appellant/plaintiff - It is apparent from
the statement of aforesaid B.L. that the recommendation was not forwarded to the concerned department - In such a situation, decreeing of suit on the basis of statement of an official of
respondent-department recorded under Order 10 of CPC would not justify decreeing the suit by invoking the provisions of Order 12 Rule 6 CPC. (177) P.L.R. (Del.)
Civil Procedure Code, 1908 (V of 1908) Order 12,
Rule6 - Provision makes it clear that it confers wide discretion on the court to pass a judgment at
any stage of the suit on the basis of admission of facts made in the pleading or otherwise without waiting for the determination of any other question arose between the parties - Since the
Rule permits the passing of judgment at any stage without waiting for determination of other question, it follows that there can be more than one decree that may be passed at different stages
of the same suit - The principle behind Order XII Rule 6 is to give the plaintiff a right to speedy judgment so that either party may get rid of the rival claims which are not in
controversy.(S.C.)(180) P.L.R.

Rule6 - Unregistered lease - Though required to be registered notice terminating the tenancy has been
received - As held by us, the tenancy is month to month and terminable by fifteen days' notice and thus all ingredients required to seek ejectment of the appellant are established for the

8 of Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (CPC) was issued to the insured to produce the driving licence of the driver who had caused the accident - Had any notice been issued to the insured, the
owner (insured) might have come forward to prove that the licence was genuine or that there was any other driving licence on the basis of which he had employed the driver of the offending
vehicle - In view of this, the Appellant Insurance Company has failed to discharge the initial onus placed on it that there was conscious and willful breach of the terms and conditions of the
policy. (177) P.L.R. (Del.)

when the party who has produced the said document before the Court has been cross-examined vis-a-vis that document.(S.C.)(180) P.L.R.

present petitioner being Judgment Debtor cannot avoid the execution of Court decree.(182) P.L.R.
