% 21.01.2016 1.

Merely because a preliminary decree dated 18.11.2015 has been passed in this matter does not mean that this Court will continue to exercise jurisdiction inasmuch as, this Court no longer has pecuniary jurisdiction to try the present suit.

2.

Since this Court does not have pecuniary jurisdiction in view of the Office Order dated 24.11.2015 issued by Hon'ble the Chief Justice in exercise of powers conferred by Section 4 of the Delhi High Court (Amendment) Act, 2015, whereby ordinary suits which are not commercial matters having pecuniary jurisdiction up to the value of rupees two crores cannot be tried by this Court and commercial matters up to the value of

rupees one crore cannot be tried by this Court, this suit is transferred for decision to the jurisdictional Court under the District & Sessions Judge(West), Tis Hazari Courts, Delhi.

3.

Let parties appear before the District & Sessions Judge(West), Tis Hazari Courts, Delhi on 9th March, 2016. Suit file be made available to the District & Sessions Judge(West), Tis Hazari Courts, Delhi, on the date fixed. VALMIKI J. MEHTA, J JANUARY 21, 2016 ib
