IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRAPRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE B. PRAKASH RAO C.R.P. No.4495 OF 2006 Date:10.11.2010 Between: A.P. State Financial Corporation, rep. By its Asst. General Manager .... Petitioner. And: M/s. Chandra Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Hyderabad and 2 others. ....Respondents. THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE B. PRAKASH RAO C.R.P. No.4495 OF 2006 ORDER: This revision is filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India to assail the correctness of the order dated 07.06.2006 passed by the III Additional Chief Judge, City Civil Court, Hyderabad in O.P.No.2774 of 2003 wherein the court below returned the petition in O.P.No.2774 of 2003. Heard both sides and perused the material available on record. As can be seen from the order passed by the court below, it is clear that the court below has returned the petition in O.P.No.2774 of 2003 to the petitioner at a later stage i.e., after commencement of the trial on the ground of lack of territorial jurisdiction. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the opinion that the issue of territorial jurisdiction could have been tried along with all the issues framed earlier in the O.P.No.2774 of 2003 after giving opportunities to both parties to lead evidence in support of their respective contentions. In view of the same, the CRP is allowed setting aside the order dated 07.06.2006 passed in O.P.No.2774 of 2003 and remanded back to the court below and the court below has to take up the said issue as to territorial jurisdiction along with all other issues and consider to pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. No costs. However, the petitioner is permitted to represent the matter back to the court below within a period of one week from the date of receipt of the copy of this order. _____________________ B.
