Muley, counsel for the petitioner. Shri Gupta and Shri Sadavarte, counsel for the respondent. CORAM : SMT. VASANTI A. NAIK, J. DATE : OCTOBER 22, 2008. Heard the learned counsel for the parties. By the impugned order dated 19.12.2007, the application filed by the petitioner for deciding the issue of jurisdiction as a preliminary issue, was dismissed. The trial Court observed that the plaintiff had tendered his evidence on affidavit and the defendant had cross-examined the plaintiff's witnesses. The Court further observed that there was no specific objection raised by the defendant about the absence of jurisdiction in the trial Court. The trial Court, therefore, rejected the application on the ground that it was filed at a belated stage and a plea of absence of jurisdiction was also not raised by the petitioner. 2 No fault can be found with the impugned order dated 19.12.2007. The order does not suffer from any jurisdictional error. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed with no order as to costs. JUDGE APTE
