IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.18595 of 2011 Arbind Prasad & Anr Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors ---------------------------------- 02. 21.10.2011. By the impugned order, the plaint has been rejected under Order 7 Rule 11 C.P.C. In view of the definition of “decree” as provided under Section 2 Sub Section 2 C.P.C., the same includes the rejection of the plaint and, therefore, it is appealable under Section 96 of the C.P.C.. In view of the above facts, this writ application is not maintainable. Accordingly, it is dismissed. Since the valuation of the suit is less than Rs.2 lacs, the appeal is maintainable before the District Judge. If so advised, the petitioners may present the appeal before the District Court within one month from today with limitation application. If the appeal is filed within the said period with limitation application, the Court below shall consider the matter of limitation according to law. Saurabh (Mungeshwar Sahoo,J.)
