    Solution

    Order 7 Rule 11 of the CPC lays down specific and exhaustive grounds on which a court shall (not may) reject a plaint. These grounds are: (a) where the plaint does not disclose a cause of action; (b) where the relief claimed is undervalued and the plaintiff fails to correct it within the time fixed; (c) where the relief is insufficiently stamped and the plaintiff fails to supply the requisite stamp paper; (d) where the suit appears barred by any law (e.g., limitation, res judicata); (e) where it is not filed in duplicate; and (f) where the plaintiff fails to comply with Rule 9.
