RAJA BAJARANG BAHADUR SINGH vs JAI NARAIN

The Supreme Court held that under Section 289(2) of the U.P. Tenancy Act, 1939, the respondent was not precluded from raising the objection regarding the jurisdiction of the civil court to entertain appeals. The Court emphasized that the doctrine of approbate and reprobate does not apply when the original court raises jurisdictional objections. The appeals were allowed, affirming that the civil court had the authority to hear the appeals despite the respondent's later objection.
