Refusal to allow applicant to sue as an indigent person to bar subsequent application of like nature
Full Text
An order refusing to allow the applicant to sue as an indigent person shall be a bar to any subsequent application of the like nature by him in respect of the same right to sue; but the applicant shall be at liberty to institute a suit in the ordinary manner in respect of such right; provided that the plaint shall be rejected if he does not pay, either at the time of the institution of the suit or within such time thereafter as the Court may allow, the costs (if any) incurred by the State Government and by the opposite party in opposing his application for leave to sue as an indigent person.
Plain English Summary
Establishes that refusal of an indigent application bars any second indigent application on the same cause of action, while preserving the right to institute a regular suit upon paying regular court fees and clearing the costs incurred by the State and opposite party.
Key Legal Elements
- Res Judicata on Indigency: Absolute bar against successive indigent applications on the same right to sue.
- Right to File Regular Suit Preserved: Liberty to pay full court fees and proceed.
- Condition Precedent: Payment of costs awarded to State Government and opposite party in the indigent proceedings.
Practical Note
Converting Rejected Application to Regular Suit: If an indigent application is refused under Rule 7, do not file a fresh indigent application as it is barred by Rule 15. Instead, immediately invoke Rule 15A requesting the court to grant time to deposit the requisite court fees.
