Smt Geeta W/o Late Ramgond Nagoor vs The State of Karnataka through Depurty Commissioner Yadgir — 32/2025

The Civil Judge of Afzalpur rejected the plaintiffs' suit for lack of territorial jurisdiction. The court found that since the deceased teacher was employed in Shorapur taluka, Yadgir district, and all relevant service documents and defendants were located there, the suit should be filed in Shorapur court, not Afzalpur, per Section 20 of the CPC. The court ordered the plaint be returned to plaintiffs for refiling before the proper jurisdictional court by March 28, 2026, and vacated the earlier interim injunction order.
