Date of hearing: 27th March, 1990. MUHAMMAD AFZAL ZULLAH, C.J.‑‑‑Leave to appeal has been sought by the plaintiffs' side; against the dismissal by the High Court, of their Civil Revision in a suit for possession through partition of a house. It was dismissed on account of the dismissal of an earlier similar suit under Order IX, Rule 8, C.P.C. The petitioners having failed in appeal and revision have now sought leave to appeal. Learned counsel has contended that in a suit for partition the cause of action is continuing one, therefore, a second suit in the circumstances of this case was not barred by Order IX, Rule 9, C.P.C. He has relied on commentary on C.P.C. by D.F. Mulla on the afore-noticed provision as also on Keesari Santamma v. Kanumatha Reddi Venkatarama Reddi and others AIR 1935 Mad.
