    Question

    Under Section 41 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908,

    the suit must be valued for:
    A Determining court fees only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Determining jurisdiction and court fees Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Appeal purposes only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Compensation calculation Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Payment of advocate fees Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Section 41 requires the plaintiff to value the suit for determining both the court fee payable and the jurisdiction of the court. The value determines whether the suit falls within the pecuniary jurisdiction of the court (e.g., whether it should be filed in a District Court or High Court). Incorrect valuation can lead to rejection of the plaint. [Citation: Section 41, Code of Civil Procedure, 1908]
