....Delhi. The suit property was admittedly owned by the mother of the parties, namely, Smt. Madhurekha Sarin. Whereas the plaintiff, and who is supported by the defendant no.2/applicant, claims that the mother Smt. Madhurekha Sarin died intestate, the defendant no.1 has set up a Will dated 01.03.1999 of the mother whereby the suit property has been bequeathed to the defendant no.1. 4. The principles with respect to disposal of an application under Order XXXIX Rule 10 CPC have been stated by a learned Single Judge of this Court Hon'ble Mr. Justice A. K.

.... defendant no.2 that the order of the Division Bench of this Court dated 07.08.2013 in FAO(OS) No. 94/2013 will furnish a fresh entitlement and cause of action to file the present application, however, I cannot agree because the order of the Division Bench dated 07.08.2013 is not an order passed on merits setting aside the order of the learned Single Judge of this Court dated 26.11.2012 and the order dated 07.08.2013 is effectively only a consent order without touching any aspect on merits of whether the plaintiff was entitled to an order under Order XXXIX Rule 10 CPC.
