Om Prakash Agarwal Since Deceased Thr ... vs Vishan Dayal Rajpoot

The Supreme Court held that the Additional District Judge lacked jurisdiction to decide the Small Causes Suit No. 1 of 2010 after the enactment of the Uttar Pradesh Civil Laws (Amendment) Act, 2015, which raised the pecuniary jurisdiction limit for Small Causes Courts to Rs. 1 lakh. The Court affirmed the Allahabad High Court's decision to allow the revision under Section 25 of the Provincial Small Cause Courts Act, 1887, and remand the case for fresh decision by the appropriate court. The judgment emphasized that the jurisdictional changes apply to pending cases as well, thereby upholding the High Court's ruling.
