Question and options
Under Section 2(4) of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, what does "district" mean?
The local limits of the jurisdiction of a principal Civil Court of original jurisdiction
The area for which a High Court exercises civil appellate jurisdiction
The area within which a Collector exercises executive powers
A revenue district notified by the State Government for land-revenue purposes
Answer and explanation
Section 2(4) of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 defines "district" as the local limits of the jurisdiction of a principal Civil Court of original jurisdiction, called the District Court, and includes the local limits of the ordinary original civil jurisdiction of a High Court. The definition is judicial, not administrative, so a revenue district or a Collector's area does not decide it, and the reach of a High Court on civil appeals is a different matter.
