Court: Kolkata

Decided on: Jan-30-2008

Reported in: 2008(1)CHN1008

Sanjib Banerjee, J.1. The first and second defendants, the persons against whom reliefs have primarily been sought in the suit, have applied for the plaint to be taken off the file on the ground that even if the plaintiffs' basis for valuation of the suit were accepted, it would fall below the pecuniary threshold of receiving a suit in this Court.2. The defendant Nos. 1 and 2 rely on the principle recognized by Section 15 of the Code of Civil Procedure, that a suit has to be instituted in the Court of the lowest grade competent to try it. The applicant-defendants refer to the last two paragraphs of the plaint and say that the reliefs claimed in the suit do not match up to the palpably absurd valuation indicated. The two concluding paragraphs of the plaint read as follows:51. For the purpose of Court-fees and jurisdiction, the suit is valued at Rs. 10,00,001/- and the maximum Court-fees of Rs. 50,000/- has been paid thereon. The plaintiffs undertake to pay further Court-fees, if found d...
