Explanation
Under Order 5 Rule 20 and Order 9 Rule 1, suits may be dismissed for: failure to take proper steps for service (like court fee, postal charges, copies); where neither party appears; or where plaintiff fails to apply for fresh summons within 7 days after unservice of summons. All three situations are valid grounds for dismissal under CPC provisions.
