Question

An immovable property held by Z is situated in Delhi and Y, the wrongdoer, personally works for gain in Mumbai. A suit to obtain compensation for wrong done to the property may be instituted at

A.

Delhi.

B.

Mumbai.

C.

Either at Delhi or at Mumbai.

D.

None of these.

Correct option is A

According to Section 16 of the Civil Procedure Code (CPC), 1908, suits related to immovable property must be filed in the court within whose jurisdiction the property is situated. This includes suits for compensation for wrongs done to the property.

  • Since the immovable property in question is located in Delhi, the suit must be instituted in Delhi, irrespective of where the wrongdoer (Y) resides or works for gain.
  • The fact that Y works for gain in Mumbai does not affect the jurisdiction for this suit because the property determines jurisdiction under Section 16 CPC.
