O R D E R This petition is filed under Order XLVII of Rule 1 of Code of Civil Procedure to review the judgment dated, 25.6.2008. 2. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner was heard. 3. The argument of the learned counsel appearing for the review petitioner, the respondent in the writ petition, is that this Court should not have directed learned Sub Judge to consider the question of territorial jurisdiction before disposing Ext.P2 petition, and, therefore, the said direction is to be quashed. 4. When a suit is instituted and an application for injunction is moved and the defendant raised a contention that Court has no territorial jurisdiction to try the suit, the trial court necessarily has to decide the question of territorial jurisdiction R.P.No.932 of 2008 2 before granting any relief in the interlocutory application. It is for that reason, this Court directed the trial court to consider the question of territorial jurisdiction. I do not find any apparent error or other sufficient reason to review the judgment. The review petition is dismissed. M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR, JUDGE nj.
