The plaintiffs, Binoy Thomas and others, filed a civil suit before the Delhi High Court challenging the elections of office bearers of the National Real Estate Development Council (NAREDCO), alleging that the elections were conducted in violation of NAREDCO's rules and regulations, without affording them an opportunity to vote or file nominations. The defendants filed an application under Order VII Rule 11 CPC seeking rejection of the plaint on the grounds that the contesting plaintiffs lacked locus standi, as they were individuals acting in their personal capacity and not registered members of NAREDCO (whose membership is restricted to enterprises/entities under its Memorandum of Association and Rules), and that no specific rule violation was pleaded in the plaint. The defendants further argued that the plaintiffs had voluntarily abstained from submitting nominations at the 137th Governing Council meeting despite being expressly invited to do so, and that the plaint did not challenge the minutes of the 137th and 138th Governing Council meetings under which the elections were held. The court reserved its order on the application, and the judgment text provided covers the facts and contentions of the parties without disclosing the final ruling.
