Mr. G B Lohiya , Advocate for the petitioner Ku.Trupti Udeshi, Adv.for Respondent CORAM: B.R. GAVAI , J. DATED: 15th February, 2008. *** Heard. 2. By way of present petition, petitioner challenges the order dated 16th June 2007 whereby rejecting the objection of the present petitioner regarding maintainability of the suit. 3. It was contended by the petitioner/ defendant that since the said suit was under Maharashtra Rent Control Act, 1999, it has to be tried as small causes suit. 4. However, by the impuged order, learned trial Court came to the conclusion that since the small cause court was not established at Akola, he had no jurisdiction to entertain the suit. 5. However since both the learned counsel 2 agree that now the jurisdiction of small causes suit is is conferred upon two Courts at Akola, I do not find it necessary to go into the rival contentions. 6. Since now there are two Courts available at Akola upon whom the jurisdiction of small causes suits is conferred, it is directed that the Regular Civil Suit No. No. 02/2001 be registered as small causes suit and be placed before either of the Judges who are conferred with the jurisdiction of the small causes Court. It is further directed that since the suit of the year 2001, the same shall be decided as expeditiously as possible and preferably within six months from today. JUDGE sahare
