The Defendant had argued that the Plaintiff, a student suing for chemical burns suffered at the Defendant Institute, had not filed an affidavit at the time of filing the plaint. Dismissing the Defendant's application, the Court held that the amendment to the Civil Procedure Rules requiring an affidavit was done for quicker disposal of the suit by “fixing responsibility on the party”; failure to comply with the same would not result a rejection of the suit, without examining its merits.</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" ><strong>Relevant : Order IV Rule 1 Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 nActCompID=287171 Rajeshwarha vs. Sushma Govil <manuid>MANU/DE/0335/1988</manuid> Vidyawati Gupta and Ors.
