The appeal from Munsiff court lies to District Court;
However you can file the revision in High Court.
The pecuniary jurisdiction of the court is decided on the valuation of suit , you could have raised the issue before the court for wrong valuation of suit or simply agitated that the court lacks jurisdiction to try it for want of pecuniary jurisdiction...However you can raise any such issue in appeal as appeal is always in continuation of suit.

The appeal shall lie before District Judge/Court.
How can Civil Judge (JD) /sub-judge/ munsif entertain a suit beyond his pecuniary jurisdiction and pass a judgement/decree?
