Vijay Sharma vs Sheetal Sharma And Anr on 14 November, 2024
Thus, where the defect in the jurisdiction is of the kind which
falls within Section 21 CPC or Section 11 of the Suits Valuation
Act, 1887, an objection to jurisdiction cannot be raised except
in the manner and subject to the conditions mentioned
thereunder. Far from helping the case of the respondent, the
judgment in Kiran Singh [Kiran Singh v. Chaman Paswan, AIR
1954 SC 340] holds that an objection to territorial jurisdiction
and pecuniary jurisdiction is different from an objection to
jurisdiction over the subject matter. An objection to the want
of territorial jurisdiction does not travel to the root of or to
the inherent lack of jurisdiction of a civil court to entertain
the suit.
