Territorial

1- Question of  Jurisdiction on the basis of the Residence of the parties  is to be raised at the earliest and on the other objections subject matter situation- Territorial Jurisdiction can be raised at any stage of the suit 

2- Limitation question is a legal objection can be raised at any stage of the suit  .

1. agree with mr. rao re ans no 1.

2. but have doubt about ans no 2 . is there any supreme court decision on this point?

Both the objections must be raised at the earliest stage. Limitation is a mixed question of law and fact as such the suit cannot be decided on this preliminary issue however the objection qua territorial jurisdiction can decide the suit  even on the preliminary hearings.

thank you mr arya. u r right.

The reply is not supported by the decision of the supreme court or High court. What has been stated is nothing speal. Please support with decisions.
