Case brief
AI extract
What is this about?
The High Court of Jharkhand dismissed a civil revision seeking to challenge an order returning a guardianship plaint due to lack of territorial jurisdiction. The Court held that since the minor ward resides in West Bengal, the Family Court lacked jurisdiction under Section 9 of the Guardians and Wards Act, and no illegality warranted interference.
What did the court decide?
The civil revision application and the pending I.A. No.2744 of 2019 were dismissed; the impugned order of the Court below was affirmed.
