Yes there are three types of jurisdictions. 1. As to subject matter.2. As to to terrotorial jurisdiction.3 Pecuniary jurisdiction. Since according to you junior division jude has no jurisdiction to here suits about 2 lacs of rupttes then you have to get the case transfered toother court having jurisdiction. Move an aplication to the District judge or get the case withdrawn to file the same in the competant court. The court itself may order under Order 07 Rule 10 and 10 A of the CPC.
