Order VII Rule 10 CPC | Bombay HC Holds Higher Court Not Bound to Return Plaint for Pecuniary Jurisdiction Deficit : Discretionary Power Affirmed
Bombay High Court rules that a higher court is not obligated to return a plaint under Order VII Rule 10 CPC merely because the suit value falls within a lower court's pecuniary jurisdiction. The decision underscores judicial discretion, allowing plaintiffs to proceed in a higher court even if the claim could have been filed in a lower forum, provided the court does not lack inherent jurisdiction.
