Supreme Court Clarifies Principles Governing Plea Of Demurrer

The Supreme Court clarified that a plea of demurrer admits the facts pleaded by the opposite side but disputes their legal sufficiency. It emphasized that demurrer should be raised only on pure questions of law and not factual disputes. The Court warned against misuse to delay trials and directed judicious application to streamline litigation. This clarification strengthens procedural discipline in civil proceedings, ensuring demurrers are used to simplify—not obstruct—justice.
