Suit for Land : Specific Performance

AIR 1960 Cal 626
2001 (7) SCC 698

Suit for specific performance of an agreement to sell is not a suit for land in terms of Clause 12 of the Letters Patent



--

AIR 2004 Mad 54: A suit seeking  final decree for recovery of money and only when there is default, a final decree may ensue permitting recourse to the land in satisfaction of the money claim is not a suit for land.

Wimco Limited v. Matoshree Shelters Private Ltd., MANU/MH/0834/2009


To find out territorial jurisdiction the court is required to consider the averments and prayers made in the Plaint.


An incidental prayer for possession where the suit is essentially for declaration does not make the suit, ' a suit for land'.
