In the last post, I discussed the purpose and import of framing of
issues in a civil suit under Order 14 of the Code of Civil procedure. I took
the view that the framing of an
issue under Order 14 does not tantamount to the Court taking a position with
respect to the contentions of parties on a material question of fact or law. It
is a mere act of charting the trajectory and contours of the trial so that the
progress of the trial is not waylaid by irrelevant or immaterial issues which
have no bearing on the adjudication of the rights and liabilities of the
parties.Â
