JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) HEARD Sri M.M.D. Agrawal, learned counsel for the petitioner. Sri S.N. Singh appears for respondents no. 4 and 5. Learned Standing
counsel appears for respondents no. 1 and 6.
This petition is directed against the revisional order 10.10.2012
passed by the Additional District Judge, Etawah whereby the
revision of the petitioner under Section 115 CPC has been rejected
on the ground that it has no pecuniary jurisdiction to deal with it as
the valuation of the revision and the suit from which it arises is
over Rs. 5,00,000/-.
(2.) THERE is no dispute between the parties that the valuation of the suit from which the revision arises as well as that of the revision is
more than 5,00,000/- and that in view of Explanation 1(b) of
Section 115 CPC as applicable to the State of U.P., the revision on
account of pecuniary jurisdiction would lie to the High court.
The only argument advanced is that the revisional court in such
circumstances ought to have directed for return of the revision to
the revisionist for presentation before the proper court instead of
dismissing the revision.
In support of the above argument Sri M.M.D. Agrawal, learned counsel for the petitioner has placed reliance upon RSDV Finance
Company Private Limited Vs. Shree Vallabh Glass Works
Limited AIR 1993 SC 2094 wherein it has been laid down that
where the court arrives at a conclusion that it has no jurisdiction to
try the suit, proper course is not to dismiss the matter but to return
it for presentation for proper court.
In view of the aforesaid facts and circumstances, maintaining the
reasoning for dismissing the revision, the petition is disposed of by
modifying the impugned order dated 10.10.2012 by directing that
the memo of revision be returned to the revisionist for presentation
to proper court.
The writ petition is disposed of accordingly.;
