#Appeal Jurisdiction

Karnataka High Court clarifies that appeals against acquittal under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act must be filed before the Sessions Court, not the High Court, reinforcing jurisdictional boundaries under the CrPC. The ruling impacts litigants and practitioners by redirecting such appeals to the appropriate forum, ensuring procedural compliance.

Allahabad High Court rules that orders passed under Section 25(2) or Section 4-B of the Societies Registration Act, 1860, are not appealable, as no statutory provision grants such a right. The judgment underscores that remand orders and appellate decisions passed without jurisdiction are nullities, affecting societies and registrars across Uttar Pradesh.

The Allahabad High Court ruled that the pecuniary jurisdiction for appeals under Order 43 Rule 1(r) CPC is governed solely by the valuation stated in the plaint, rejecting attempts to alter it through subsequent objections. This decision reinforces the primacy of plaint valuation in determining appellate forum, impacting civil litigants and practitioners dealing with injunction orders and property disputes.
