The   question   for   determination here is :\n<\/p>\n<p>  &#8220;What is the value for purposes of jurisdiction in a case where the plaintiff sues for partition on the footing that he is in possessions of the property.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p> Section 14 of the Madras Civil Courts Act provides :\n<\/p>\n<p>  &#8220;When the subject-matter of any suit or proceeding  is  land,  a  house  or  a  garden,  its value shall, for purposes of the jurisdiction conferred by this Act, be fixed in the manner provided by the Court-Fees Act,  1870, Section 7, Clause 5.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p> On a first look at this section one is tempted to  say  that  the   subject-matter  of   a   suit  for partition consists of the land, house or garden in relation to which the action has been brought and the partition of which is asked for.   Such a view would be a legitimate view and would follow from a &#8216;prima facie&#8217; reading of Section  14. A   difficulty  however   is   created  by   the  view which this  Court has taken of the provisions of Article 17 (B) of schedule 2 to the Court-Fees Act.   That Article relates to  a &#8220;plaint&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;in every suit where it is not possible to estimate at a money value the subject-matter in dispute&#8221;. It is well settled in this Court that where a plaintiff who claims to be in possession asks for partition, his plaint is in respect of a subject-matter on which it is not possible to put a money value. It seems to me that there is something incongruous in saying in one and the same breath that in an action of this kind the subject-matter is incapable of being valued in money and at the same time saying that the subject-matter of the suit is &#8220;land, a house or a garden&#8221; which things are obviously capable of being valued in terms of money. Though the anomalies which abound in the Court-fees Act often make logic a treacherous guide in interpreting its provisions, one must do one&#8217;s best to minimise the illogicalities involved. I do not think that it will be right, after holding as this Court has done, that the subject-matter in an action like the present one is incapable of valuation under Article 17 (B) to rule that nevertheless it falls within Section 14 of the Civil Courts Act. If Section 14 of the Madras Civil Courts Act does not apply, then the market value of the properties which the plaintiff claims for his share must be treated as the value of the suit for purposes of jurisdiction.\n<\/p>\n<p>2. I    find   that   in   &#8216;Mallayya    v.    Jagannadhamma&#8217;, 1941-2 Mad L Jour 567, Lakshmana Rao J. took the same view:<br \/>\n  &#8220;In   a  suit  for  partition  by  persons  in  joint possession,  the  value  for purposes   of  jurisdiction   is   the   actual   market   value  of   the property in suit.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p> I take it as obvious that the learned Judge meant to say the value of the plaintiff&#8217;s share. Though there was a full and probably exhaustive discussion of the relevant decisions before me, my attention was not drawn to any case in which any doubt has been expressed about the correctness of the decision of Lakshmana Rao J. Of the cases which Mr. Ramamurthi read before me it will suffice to refer to two. One is &#8216;Singarachariar v. Lakshmanan Chettiar&#8217;, 1949-1 Mad L Jour 195. In that case a suit was filed by a creditor to set aside a summary order which held that the properties did not belong to the judgment-debtor. Subsequently, the plaint was amended so as to include a prayer for a declaration that a trust deed executed by the judgment-debtor was a sham, nominal and fraudulent transaction. It was held in that case that Section 14 of the Madras Civil Courts Act applied and that in consequence the suit had to be valued in the manner provided by Section 7(v) of the Court-Fees Act.<br \/>\nThe suit being to set aside a summary order,<br \/>\nit will be correct to say that the subject-matter<br \/>\nof the suit was really the property in relation<br \/>\nto which the order had been passed. It will<br \/>\nbe perceived that if the summary order were<br \/>\nconfirmed, the creditor would lose his right to<br \/>\nproceed against the property. On the other<br \/>\nhand, if the order were set aside, the property<br \/>\nwould be made available to satisfy the claim<br \/>\nof the decree-holder. In other words, the subject-matter of the suit was in substance the<br \/>\nland to which the summary order related. In<br \/>\nthe present case the subject-matter of the suit<br \/>\nmust be regarded as consisting not of &#8220;land, a<br \/>\nhouse or a garden&#8221;, but the right of the plain<br \/>\ntiff to have those properties divided up. &#8216;Singarachari&#8217;s case&#8217; does not, therefore, apply. The<br \/>\nother decision cited by Mr. Ramamurthi is the<br \/>\none in &#8216;Arumuga Mudaliar v. Venkatachala<br \/>\nPillai&#8217;, 56 Mad 716. That too related to a summary order and the observations already made<br \/>\nin regard to &#8216;Singarachariar v. Lakshmana<br \/>\nChettiar&#8217;, 1949-1 MLJ 195, would apply. I<br \/>\ntherefore conclude that for purposes of jurisdiction, the market value is the one that governs.<br \/>\nSince this value has not been ascertained there<br \/>\nwill be a direction to the Court below to as<br \/>\ncertain the market value of the plaintiff&#8217;s share<br \/>\nand if thereafter it is found that the suit is<br \/>\nwithin the cognizance of the District Munsif,<br \/>\nhe will go on with it. If it exceeds his jurisdiction, he will return the plaint in order that<br \/>\nit may be presented to the appropriate Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>(3) In the plaint there was a prayer for a<br \/>\ndeclaration and Mr. Ramamurthi argued that<br \/>\nby reason thereof, the matter fell within the<br \/>\nscope of Section 74(c) of the Court-fees Act. I do<br \/>\nnot think there is any great weight in this contention. In numerous partition suits a question<br \/>\nfrequently to be decided is : What the proper<br \/>\nties are of the joint family which are liable<br \/>\nto be partitioned. Various claims and counter<br \/>\nclaims are put forward in respect of the properties and the mere fact that a decision has to<br \/>\nbe given about them will not bring the suit<br \/>\nunder Section 74 (c) of the Court-fees Act. The<br \/>\nprayer for a declaration was really superfluous<br \/>\nand does not affect the question of jurisdiction.\n<\/p>\n<p>The costs of this revision petition will be<br \/>\ncosts in the suit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Madras High Court K.
