IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.10187 of 2011 Shambhu Jee Pandey Versus Sanjay Kumar Mishra & Ors ----------- 02. 01.07.2011. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. This writ application has been filed against the order dated 05.04.2011 as contained in Annexure I passed by Munsif, Bikramganj, Rohtas in Title Suit No.50 of 2008 whereby the learned Court below rejected the application filed by the defendant-petitioner for deciding the valuation of the suit as preliminary issue under Order XIV Rule 2 sub-Rule 2 of C.P.C. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the plaintiff filed the suit for declaration of title and/ or recovery of possession valuing the suit only at Rs.20,000/- whereas the value of the subject matter of the suit is more than rupees one lakh. The learned counsel further submitted that in support of his claim regarding valuation of the subject matter of the suit, he filed various documentary evidences in the Court below but the learned Court below rejected the 2 application. Since the question raised by the petitioner is not a pure question of law and for deciding the said question, evidence is required to be gone into. Therefore, the learned Court below has rightly rejected the application filed by the petitioner. However, if this issue is pressed by the petitioner, the same shall be decided along with other issues. Accordingly, I find no merit in this writ application and thus it is dismissed.
