Maharashtra State Financial ... vs Jaycee Drugs And Pharmaceuticals Pvt. ... on 10 July, 1990
32. Sub-section (1) of section 31 plainly provides that the forum for filing petition under the said sub-section shall be according to the territorial jurisdiction of the District Judge. The situs or place of the business of the industrial concern shall determine the jurisdiction of the District Judge to entertain a petition of the Corporation for obtaining all or any of the reliefs mentioned in the four clauses of the said sub-sections (1). We have also already referred to the observations of the Supreme Court in the Case of Gujarat State Financial Corporations v. Natson Manufacturing Co. P. Ltd. [1979] 49 Comp Cas 187, that a proceeding under sections 31 and 32 was not in the nature of a money suit or a proceeding for recovery of money and the reliefs under section 31 are not capable of being valued in terms of monetary gain or loss. Therefore, it follows that the question of pecuniary value of an application made under section 31 is irrelevant. The future question whether the value of such an applications is unknown does not at all arise.
