% 06.04.2016 1.

The pecuniary jurisdiction of this suit is such that it cannot be tried by this Court inasmuch as the pecuniary jurisdiction is Rs.50 lacs. The connected testamentary case was originally filed before the district court and was called for to this Court on account of CS(OS) No.2479/2012. Since CS(OS) No.2479/2012 & Test. Cas. No.32/2014

however, CS(OS) No.2479/2012 has to be transferred to the transferee court having pecuniary jurisdiction, even the testamentary case will be transferred though both the cases will be tried by the same transferee court. 2.

Since an Office Order dated 24.11.2015 has been 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, accordingly, these matters are transferred for decisions 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 13th May, 2016. Suit files be made available to the District & Sessions Judge (West), Tis Hazari Courts, Delhi on the date fixed.
