Dismissed of a Plaint
According to Order IX Rule 1 of Code of Civil Procedure 1908
On the day fixed in the summons for the defendant to appear and answer, the parties shall be in attendance at the court house in person or by their respective pleaders, and the suit shall then be heard unless the hearing is adjourned to a future day fixed by the court.
According to Order IX Rule 2 of Code of Civil Procedure 1908
Where on the day so fixed it is found that the summons has not been served upon the defendant in consequence of the failure of the plaintiff to pay the court-fee or postal charges, if any, chargeable for such service, or failure to present copies of the plaint as required by Rule 9 of Order VII, the Court may make an order that the suit be dismissed:
Provided that no such order shall be made, if notwithstanding such failure, the defendant attends in person or by agent when he is allowed to appear by agent on the day fixed for him to appear and answer.
