It could not be said that when written statement was filed and issues were framed therin, a prayer for rejection of plaintiff u/O. 7 R. 11 could not be entertained. It cannot be the law that this power of the Court would be curtailed in any manner simply because the Court had proceeded to some length, without application of mind on this point. The rule itself does not indicate anywhere that the power is to be exercised upon an application, or if such an application is filed is should be at any particular stage.
