X is living in Pune and Y, his brother in Mumbai. X wants to file a suit for partition of their joint property situated in Delhi and Bangalore.

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 17 permits a suit concerning immovable properties within different courts' territorial limits to be instituted where any portion is situated, provided that court can entertain the entire claim as to pecuniary jurisdiction. Thus either Delhi or Bangalore is available on the stated facts; the parties' residences do not replace this property-based rule.
