The suit value of the partition suit does not depend upon the value of the suit property but the value of the suit declared by the party.
If the suit value (not suit property) is well within the reach of the trial court then nothing to worry.

In West Bengal the Munsif court has jurisdiction to try suit value upto Rs 60,000/- irrespective of the value of the suit property.

Suits are always filled firstly in PRINCIPAL
COURT only therefrom they are sent to additional courts,if the additional court lacks pecuniary jurisdiction it shall be sent back by it to principal court,there is no question of its dismissal by the court.
