Civil Laws (Amendment) Act, 2015 enlarged the pecuniary jurisdiction for rent and eviction suits to buildings valued up to Rs. 1,00,000, and the amended text was applied to pending matters as well as fresh filings. The plain wording of the amendment was treated as controlling, so the statement of objects and reasons did not limit its scope. On that basis, suits within the revised valuation fell within the Small Causes Court presided over by the Civil Judge, Senior Division, and a court that had ceased to have jurisdiction could not continue to decide them. A suit valued at Rs. 44,000 was therefore outside the Additional District Judge's jurisdiction and had to be dealt with by the proper Small Causes Court. en-us Mon, 29 Aug 2016 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 13 Aug 2025 19:00:07 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=463196 The U.P.
