Section:
(a) Civil Procedure Code (V of 1908)-----0. IX, R. 4---Interpretation.The plain reading of the rule 4 of O.IX, C.P.C., makes the two options; one of bringing a fresh suit and the other of seeking the setting aside of the dismissal as excluding each 'other; but on deeper analysis . it seems that in reality one alternative would not obliterate and exhaust the other remedy.
