Can the proper grade of court for an original civil suit valued at Rs 20 lakh be selected solely from that amount under the central CPC, without the applicable jurisdiction legislation or other case details?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 15 requires a suit to be instituted in the lowest-grade court competent to try it, and section 6 leaves pecuniary limits to the civil courts laws, so the CPC alone does not fix the court for a Rs 20 lakh suit. Whether a Civil Judge (Junior or Senior Division) or the District Court is competent depends on the local law, together with territorial and subject-matter rules.
