This revision under Section 25 of the Provincial Small Cause Courts Act, 1887 (for short, 'the Act of 1887'), is directed against an order of the Additional District Judge/Special Judge (SC/ST Act), Banda dated 17.11.2022 made in S.C.C. Suit No. 2 of 2008, rejecting the defendants' application, objecting to the Court's pecuniary jurisdiction.

2. Shorn of unnecessary details, the facts giving rise to this revision are that S.C.C. Suit No. 2 of 2008 was instituted by the plaintiff-respondents before the District Judge, Banda, sitting as the Judge, Small Cause Court.

The suit was, therefore, instituted before the District Judge and tried by the Additional District Judge/ Special Judge (SC/ST Act), Banda, who decreed it vide his judgment and decree dated 25.07.2016. A revision against the said decree was carried to this Court by the tenant-revisionist, being S.C.C. Revision
