Official index description
Source: Supreme Court official index.
We find no provision in the Code prescribing a separate stage or proceeding described as an “admission hearing” of an ordinary suit after the issues have been framed. A Court may, of course, hear the parties on any question of law or procedure arising in the suit; but merely fixing a suit for an “admission hearing” does not, by itself, create a jurisdictional basis for rejection of the plaint under section 151 of the Code. Where the suit has already proceeded beyond the stage of framing of issues and is pending for trial, any order bringing the suit to an end by rejecting the plaint must be traceable to a specific provision of the Code or other law conferring such jurisdiction. The inherent power under section 151 cannot be invoked to create a procedure or jurisdiction which is not otherwise provided by law.
