S.N.S.Sukumaran vs C.Thangamuthu on 27 September, 2012

14.The Trial Court has also placed reliance on the decision of this Court in S.N.S Sukumaran Vs. C.Thangamuthu, reported in 2012 (5) CTC 705, which was a case which had no application to the facts of the present case. The said decision did not decide the issue of maintainability of an objection by way of an application supported by an affidavit, questioning the valuation of the Court Fee paid. For all the above reasons, I am inclined to set aside the order of the Trial Court since the Trial Court has not gone into the merits of the objection. Considering the fact that the respondent has not chosen to appear in this revision, while setting aside the order, I direct the Trial Court to re-hear I.A.No.3 of 2024 and decide the objection of the revision petitioner regarding incorrect valuation and insufficient Court Fee as well as pecuniary jurisdiction, on merits and in accordance with law. If the Trial Court comes to the finding that the valuation is improper and insufficient Court Fee is paid on the plaint and that the Trial Court does not have the pecuniary jurisdiction to try the suit, subject to such findings arrived at by the Trial court, the Trial Court may return the plaint to be presented before the proper Court, subject to correcting the valuation and payment of proper Court Fee.
