Which Court Can entertain Suits for Property ? Supreme Court Clarifies the Maze of Law
It has been held that S. 16 of Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 recognizes a well established principle that actions against res or property should be brought in the forum where such res is situate. A court within whose territorial jurisdiction the property is not situate has no power to deal with and decide the rights or interests in such property. In other words, a court has no jurisdiction over a dispute in which it cannot give an effective judgment.
