' SH. RIAZ AHMED, J.---The petitioner seeks leave to appeal against the judgment and order dated 2-10-1998 whereby a learned Single Judge of the Lahore High Court dismissed the revision petition filed by the petitioner to call in question the order dated 12-2-1996 passed by a learned Civil Judge at Lahore whereby an application moved by the petitioner under Order VII, rule 11, C.P.C. Seeking rejection of the plaint was dismissed.
2. The facts in brief are that the petitioner had moved an application under Order VII, rule 11, C.P.C. In a suit praying that the plaint in the said suit instituted against the petitioner should be rejected under the aforesaid provision as the suit was barred by time. The contention was repelled and, thus, a revision petition was filed, which was dismissed vide order impugned.
3. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and the respondent who appeared in person, we are of the view that the learned Civil Judge had already framed issue No,2 to the effect that the suit was within time and besides that the learned Civil Judge also gave finding that the question of limitation in the case was a mixed question of law and fact and thus the issue can only be resolved after recording of evidence touching the controversy. In our view, no error had been committed either by the learned Civil Judge or the High Court while arriving at the aforesaid finding and, thus, the learned Civil Judge had rightly rejected the application under Order VII, rule 11, C.P.C. And the High Court also correctly upheld the said order.
4. For the foregoing reasons, we do not find any merit in this petition justifying interference, therefore, the petition is dismissed and leave to appeal is refused.
