Till this stage how didn't you know that the area of the branch has been mentioned by mistake. If there is a problem of jurisdiction of the court, that does mean you have mentioned the account with different city. Ask your lawyer to correct the mistake through an application and for the purpose of jurisdiction your case might get transferred. No need to shift your account, rather it shall have no effect on the case after shifting.
