The Supreme Court addressed the jurisdictional issue under Section 9A of the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC) in a specific performance suit. The Court set aside the High Court's order which had held that Section 9A was repealed, referencing the Division Bench's conclusion that Section 9A remains in effect in Maharashtra. The Court remanded the case back to the High Court for a fresh decision on merits, emphasizing the need for expedited proceedings due to the prolonged pendency of the matter.
