   Amending Act 26 of 2007.—The pecuniary jurisdiction of the Courts of
Civil Judge (Junior Division), Civil Judge (Senior Division), Small Causes
Courts and District Courts and of High Court was fixed long back, at a time
when the value of the properties was far below their present value. In view
of the appreciable increase in the value of properties, litigants are forced to
approach higher courts, instead of lower courts as before, for getting
necessary reliefs.
       Keeping in view the increase in the value of properties in rupee value
and increase in banking and business activities, it is proposed to increase
the pecuniary jurisdiction of courts.
       Hence the Bill.
