https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=108531 A special debt recovery statute confers exclusive jurisdiction on the Tribunal for recovery of debts of the prescribed amount, and civil court jurisdiction is excluded once the Tribunal is constituted. A debt includes liability under a civil court decree, so post-decree proceedings, including an application to set aside an ex parte decree in a bank debt matter, must be taken before the Tribunal. A civil court that lacks jurisdiction cannot dismiss such an application on merits; it must return the matter for presentation before the competent forum. The civil court order was therefore unsustainable and the special statutory forum was preferred. en-us Thu, 27 Mar 2003 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 11:29:21 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=108531 A special debt recovery statute confers exclusive jurisdiction on the Tribunal for recovery of debts of the prescribed amount, and civil court jurisdiction is excluded once the Tribunal is constituted.
