ORDERK.S. Sampath, J.1. The question for consideration in both these matters is whether the High Court will have jurisdiction to entertain matrimonial matters irrespective of whether the husband and wife reside at Madras or last resided together at Madras or not?2. As pointed out in Thelma Agnes Kershaw v. Archibald Cyril Kershaw, AIR 1930 Lah 916, in cases under the Divorce Act, the question of jurisdiction is of paramount importance and does not fall to be determined purely on allocation of the onus of proof. In these cases, it is the duty of the Court, apart from any objection that might have been taken by one or other of the parties, to enquire into and set out in the judgment, facts which show clearly that it possesses jurisdiction to pronounce a decree' for dissolution of marriage.3. Apart from the preamble, the sections relevant in the Indian Divorce Act, 1869 (now the Divorce Act) are Sections 3(1), 3(3), 3(4), 4. 6, 8, 10, 11, 16, 18, 20, 22, 23 and 45.

According to the petitioner/plaintiff, he filed a suit for permanent injunction restraining the defendants from interfering with his peaceful possession and enjoyment of the suit properties. Since the defendants 1 and 2 failed to vacate the house, which is one of the suit properties in spite of his request, he filed an application in I.A.No.574 of 1995 to amend the plaint so as to get the relief of mandatory injunction and possession of the said house with damages.3.
