Which court has jurisdiction to decide the case of money recovery?
X transfers money from Delhi to Y in Patna. Later, Y does not return the money. Which place will have jurisdiction for X to seek legal relief—Delhi or Patna?
Dear client, as per your query, both the Courts, X can very well, seek legal relief in both Delhi and Patna. The specific court will be determined by its pecuniary (monetary value) and territorial jurisdiction. I hope this answer was helpful. For further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you
Dear Client, Insofar as your question about whether the jurisdiction exists, in Delhi or Patna, it would appear that the remedy in law is available in both, but for different reasons. Patna: X can take action in Patna because this is where the defendant Y lives, or Delhi: X can also sue in Delhi since the cause of action has arisen in the same city. Since the funds were transferred from Delhi. Additionally, you can also file a suit in a place where Y carries on his/her business or works for personal gain. Since X is the plaintiff (one who is filing the case), X has the discretion to decide which one of these jurisdictions X finds convenient to sue in. I hope this answer helps; if you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. Thank you.
X can file the case either in Delhi or Patna, depending on facts. Jurisdiction lies where the money was sent (Delhi) or where it was received/retained and loss occurred (Patna). Usually, recovery cases are filed where the defendant (Y) resides or where the cause of action partly arose. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
