IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA C.R. No.1356 of 2006 GIRIJA NANDAN PRASAD SINGH Versus MAHESH RAI & ORS ----------- 2 4.8.2008 Heard Counsel for the petitioner. This Court would find no error in the impugned order dated 6.7.2006 inasmuch as the Court below had the jurisdiction and has rightly exercised its jurisdiction in accepting the written statement under Order VIII Rule 1 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The said provisions being not mandatory in nature if the Court below has exercised its jurisdiction, this Court cannot substitute its own opinion for reversing the impugned order. Accordingly, there is no merit in this application and the same is hereby dismissed. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
