Section 21A of CPC : Section 21A: Baron Suit To Set Aside Decree On Objection As To Place Of Suing

Explanation using Example

Imagine a scenario where two parties, Mr. A and Mr. B, are involved in a property dispute. The case is initially filed by Mr. A in a court that he believes has the jurisdiction to handle the matter. The court hears the case and passes a decree in favor of Mr. A. Mr. B, unhappy with the decision, later decides to file a new suit in another court, this time arguing that the first court did not have the proper jurisdiction and therefore the decree should be set aside.

Section 21A of The Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, would apply in this situation to bar Mr. B from challenging the validity of the original decree on the grounds of improper jurisdiction. Since the dispute between Mr. A and Mr. B has already been decided, and they are litigating under the same title, Mr. B cannot file a new suit to set aside the decree simply because he believes there was an objection to the place of suing.
