(3.) The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner filed an application in I.A.No.6 of 2023 on 22/11/2022 for return of the plaint under Order VII Rule 10 CPC on the ground that the Court has no jurisdiction. Further submitted that the learned Judge, without considering the application seeking for return of plaint filed by the petitioner in I.A.No.6 of 2023, has erred in setting exparte for non filing of the written statement. The petitioner has clearly pointed out the lack of jurisdiction on the part of the Court to entertain the suit and the Court has to adjudicate upon the jurisdiction before forcing the petitioner for filing the written statement and thus, pleaded to allow the civil revision petition.
