JURISDICTION OF CIVIL COURT




 =Basically civil court have jurisdiction to try all suits of a civil nature.                       

 =In respect of jurisdiction of civil court - Peruse only section 9 to 20 of C.P.C. 1908       

 =As per section 9 civil court have jurisdiction to try all suits of civil nature except suits are expressly or implied barred by law.                                                 
 
* In fact  number  of laws bars  jurisdiction  of civil court to take  cognizance  of civil suits =for example  Section  85 of Maharashtra (Bombay) Tenancy  and Agricultural Act 1948, Section  50/51/80 of  Maharashtra (bombay) Public Trusts Act 1950, Section . 36c/158/213 of  Maharashtra Land Revenue Code 1966,Section 268 /430 of Company Act  2013,,Section 34 of SARFAESI Act 2002,Section 91 of Maharashtra  Co-operative  Societies Act 1960,Section 47 of Maharashtra  Rent  Control Act 1999,Section 8/42 of Arbitration  and Conciliation Act 1996 etc.

* Basically if we  carefully peruse  the provisions of bar of jurisdiction  of  civil  court  then we found that the act/order/judgement passed by the  authority/tribunal/officer shall be according to law and it shall not be void /ultra vires.                         

* If act /order/judgement passed by authority /tribunal/officer is void ultra vires then civil court have jurisdiction to try suit in respect of such act/order/judgement.                                   

 =Generally we  files civil suits in respect immovable property like  partion/injunction/specific performance /declaration of title /declaration in respect of documents, order /encroachment /easement .....etc.                       

 =Basically suits of civil nature does not mean only suit in respect of immovable property but every legal right of civil nature in respect of property as well as person. For example every person have right to file suit for compensation in respect of defamation.                                                     

*Also every person or his legal heir have right to file suit for damages,  competition caused  in quarrel.                                         

  * Also legal  husband or wife can file suit for injunction not to marry till  legal divorce                   

 * Also a person can file suit for declaration in respect of his legal  status as wife, husband, son,moher,father,   or not as above                                                         

=As per above discussion and as per section 9 of C. P. C. civil court have jurisdiction to try all suits of civil nature is the presumption subject to express or implied barred
