JUSTICE HANCHATE SANJEEVKUMAR) ORAL JUDGMENT The office objection raised at Sl.No.1 is regarding maintainability of appeal. Since the value of subject matter of the appeal is below Rs.10,00,000/-, therefore, office has raised objection at Sl.No.1 regarding maintainability of appeal.
Section 19 of the Karnataka Civil Code Act, 1964, reads as under:
19. Appeals from [Senior Civil Judge].- Appeals from the decrees and orders passed by a [Senior Civil Judge] in original suits and proceedings of a civil nature, shall when such appeals are allowed by law, lie.- (1) to the District Court, when the amount or value of the subject matter of the original suit or proceeding [does not exceed ten lakh rupees]; (2) to the High Court, in other cases.
The appeal from the Court of Civil Judge is maintainable before the District Court, when the amount or value of the subject matter of the original suit or - 3 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:8845 MFA No. 104806 of 2019 HC-KAR proceeding does not exceed Rs.10,00,000/-. It means when the value of subject matter of the appeal is below Rs.10,00,000/-, the appeal lies before the District Court. Therefore, the present appeal lies before the District Court, because of valuation of subject matter of the present appeal is below Rs.10,00,000/-.
Therefore, the office objection raised at Sl.No.1 is upheld. Liberty is reserved to prefer appeal before the District Court. The time spent before this Court in prosecuting this appeal shall be excluded as per Section 14 of the Limitation Act, 1963.
Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed as not maintainable with the observations as discussed above. Sd/- (HANCHATE SANJEEVKUMAR) JUDGE RHR/- CT:BCK LIST NO.: 1 SL NO.: 25
