(Students may note that the suit could not be filed in the Munsifs court as that court had jurisdiction in Uttar Pradesh to try suits in which the value of the subject-matter did not exceed Rs. 5000, which is now Rs. 10,000. Both the Civil judge and the District Judge have unlimited pecuniary jurisdiction, but In accordance with Section 15 of the Code every suit has to be instituted in the court of the lowest grade competent to try it and hence the suit was filed in the Civil Judge’s Court).
