JUSTICE RAJEEV RANJAN PRASAD ORAL ORDER 05-09-2018 This is a Succession Case brought at the instance of the Opposite Party which is now sought to be transferred by invoking the jurisdiction of this Court under Section 24 of the Code of Civil Procedure.

The contention of the petitioner is that the Court at Gaya has no territorial jurisdiction to entertain the Succession Case in question. This Court is afraid that such question cannot be gone into in a petition under Section 24 of the Code of Civil Procedure. This application is misconceived and is dismissed, accordingly.
