https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=307545 Section 9A of the Code of Civil Procedure permits a preliminary determination only of objections going to the court's jurisdiction when interim relief is sought. Limitation, though it may affect maintainability, is not an objection to inherent jurisdiction and therefore cannot be framed or decided as a preliminary issue under that provision. The provision is confined to cases where the court's authority to entertain the suit is in doubt, not to broader merits or procedural defences. Accordingly, the courts below were not justified in treating limitation as a Section 9A preliminary issue. en-us Mon, 12 Jan 2015 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 20 Apr 2023 21:14:53 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=307545 Section 9A of the Code of Civil Procedure permits a preliminary determination only of objections going to the court's jurisdiction when interim relief is sought.
