Jugal Kishore - Appellant
Versus
Bankat Lal & Ors. - Respondent
S.B. Civil Revision Petition Nos. 611, 712 & 713 of 1995.
Decided On : 5-08-1996
COURT FEES - Inadequacy - Jurisdiction - Court Fees and Suits Valuation Act, 1961 - Sec. 26 - Suit for permanent injunction - Plaintiff claiming possession - Court fees paid according to reliefs claimed - Held, plaintiff has correctly evaluated the reliefs sought by him and the Court fees was accordingly paid in accordance with the provisions of the Act.
Fact of the Case:
Plaintiff filed a suit for permanent injunction against the defendant. The defendant resisted the suit on several grounds, including inadequacy of Court fees and want of jurisdiction. The trial court, without passing any separate or specific order with regard to the objections raised by the defendants, referred to an earlier order passed by it in a similar case and held that the court had no jurisdiction. The appellate court set aside the trial court's order and held that the plaintiff had correctly evaluated the reliefs sought by him and the Court fees was accordingly paid in accordance with the provisions of the Act.
Finding of the Court:
The court held that the plaintiff has correctly evaluated the reliefs sought by him and the Court fees was accordingly paid in accordance with the provisions of the Act. The court further held that the trial court erred in finding the Court fees paid by the plaintiff inadequate and in holding that the suit was beyond its pecuniary jurisdiction.
Issues: 1. Whether the plaintiff has correctly evaluated the reliefs sought by him and paid the Court fees accordingly? 2. Whether the trial court erred in finding the Court fees paid by the plaintiff inadequate and in holding that the suit was beyond its pecuniary jurisdiction?
Ratio Decidendi: The court held that the plaintiff has correctly evaluated the reliefs sought by him and the Court fees was accordingly paid in accordance with the provisions of the Act. The court further held that the trial court erred in finding the Court fees paid by the plaintiff inadequate and in holding that the suit was beyond its pecuniary jurisdiction. The court relied on the provisions of Section 26 of the Court Fees and Suits Valuation Act, 1961, which provides that the Court fees for a suit for permanent injunction shall be computed according to the value of the subject matter of the suit.
Final Decision: The court dismissed the revision petitions.
