https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=281021 A Debt Recovery Tribunal has exclusive jurisdiction over bank and financial institution recovery claims, so a civil suit within that jurisdiction must be transferred even if a counter-claim, cross-claim or cross-suit has been filed in civil court. However, those independent claims do not travel with the transferred suit because the Tribunal's special, limited jurisdiction does not extend to trying cross-suits, cross-claims or set-off as separate causes of action. The Tribunal may consider defensive matters such as denial, payment or adjustment when determining the bank's claim, but it cannot entertain or decide an independent set-off or counter-claim. The bank's recovery action proceeds before the Tribunal, while the defendant's separate claim must be pursued elsewhere if maintainable. en-us Thu, 29 May 1997 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 31 May 2019 14:40:15 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=281021 A Debt Recovery Tribunal has exclusive jurisdiction over bank and financial institution recovery claims, so a civil suit within that jurisdiction must be transferred even if a counter-claim, cross-claim or cross-suit has been filed in civil court.
