PLACE OF SUING | SECTION 15-20 | CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE

The place of suing under the Civil Procedure Code (CPC) in India refers to the specific court location or jurisdiction where a lawsuit should be filed. The CPC lays out rules to help plaintiffs determine the correct venue based on factors like the nature of the dispute, location of the parties, and the subject matter involved.
Pecuniary Jurisdiction: Each court has limits on the monetary value of the cases it can hear. The CPC mandates that a suit must be filed in a court with the appropriate financial jurisdiction.
Territorial Jurisdiction: This refers to the geographic area over which a court has authority. A suit should be filed within the territorial limits of the court connected to the cause of action, where the defendant resides or conducts business, or where the property in question is situated.
The cause of action is the fact or event that gives rise to a lawsuit. A suit can be filed where the cause of action occurred, even if the defendant does not reside in that area. For example, in cases involving negligence or personal injury, the place where the incident took place establishes jurisdiction.
