Rule 2 Order II of Code of Civil Procedure 1908 "Suit to include the whole claim"
(1) Every suit shall include the whole of the claim which the plaintiff is entitled to make in respect of the cause of action; but a plaintiff may relinquish any portion of his claim in order to bring the suit within the jurisdiction of any Court.
(2) Relinquishment of part of claim- Where a plaintiff
omits to sue in respect of, or internationally relinquishes,
any portion of his claim, he shall not afterwards sue in
respect of the portion so omitted or relinquished.
(3) Omission to sue for one of several reliefs- A person
entitled to more than one relief in respect of the same
cause of action may sue for all or any of such reliefs; but
if he omits, except with the leave of the Court, to sue for
