Annexure 'B' is copy on record. It appears that present defendants-petitioners have filed an application annexure 'C' on record. This application is filed on September 30, 2009. Ground raised is that valuation is not correct. Prayer made is to direct the plaintiff to value the property as per the certificate issued by the Sub Registrar. This application is rejected by the trial court. 3. I have perused order. 4. Counsel for the petitioners submits that Civil Judge (J.D.) can entertain and decide the suit valued up to Rs.1,00,000/- only, beyond that said court is not empowered to entertain and decide the suit. 5. I have given anxious consideration to the submission of the counsel for the petitioners. Pleadings of the plaintiff for the purpose of valuation is relevant and in the case on hand it is ancestral property of the parties. For this reason, in my view, no substance in the writ petition. Writ petition stands dismissed in limine. No costs. ( S. B. DESHMUKH, J. ) Dt :- 22.02.2010 aaa/731.10 ***
