2. In Shiv Kumar Sharma v Santosh Kumari reported in
(2007) 8 SCC 600 the Supreme Court has held that a civil
Court does not grant leave to file another suit. In the said case
the following has been observed by the Supreme Court in
para 29 :
“29…..In any event, if a second suit was
maintainable in terms of Order 2 Rule 4
of the Code, as was submitted by Ms
Luthra, no leave was required to be
granted therefor. A civil court does not
grant leave to file another suit. If the law
permits, the plaintiff may file another suit
but not on the basis of observations made
by a superior court.
3. In view of the above, if the appellant intends to file another
suit, which is otherwise maintainable, no leave of the Court is
necessary.
4. Accordingly, the appellant is permitted to withdraw this
appeal subject, however, to the observations as stated supra.
