Section 6 of CPC : Section 6: Pecuniary jurisdiction.

Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Ravi wants to file a lawsuit against his neighbor for property damage worth ₹2,00,000. He approaches the Small Causes Court in his city. However, the Small Causes Court has a pecuniary jurisdiction limit of ₹1,00,000. According to Section 6 of The Code Of Civil Procedure 1908, the Small Causes Court cannot take up Ravi's case because the amount exceeds its pecuniary jurisdiction. Ravi will need to file his lawsuit in a higher court that has the jurisdiction to handle cases involving amounts greater than ₹1,00,000.

Example 2:

Meena is involved in a contractual dispute with a company over a sum of ₹50,000. She decides to file a suit in the District Court. The District Court has a pecuniary jurisdiction limit of ₹5,00,000. Since the amount in dispute is well within the pecuniary limits of the District Court, Meena can proceed with filing her lawsuit there. Section 6 of The Code Of Civil Procedure 1908 ensures that the court has the appropriate jurisdiction to handle her case based on the amount involved.
