Hon'ble the Supreme Court has already held in Pawan Kumar [ 2019 (4) TMI 232 - SUPREME COURT ] that the disputed questions cannot be decided at the time of considering an application filed under Order 7 Rule 11 CPC.

I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material available on record. 7. A bare perusal of the order sheets of trial Court filed by the appellants/defendants would show that on 19.06.2019, plaintif/respondent No.1-Yakub Mohammad had filed civil suit before the Civil Judge Class-II.
