Return of Plaint vs Pending Appeal

Hello,

I filed an O.S and IA. The IA was declined by the trial court and the same is pending in Appeal(CMA-1) at the district court (chief). While being so, the respondent filed for return of plaint for lack of territorial jurisdcition and the same was allowed by the lower court (Ord 7 Rule 10).... Since it is an appealable order and since it is very likely it will be set aside, we have made an appeal at district court (chief) (CMA-2) against the return of the plant order by the lower court...

 

Now, what happens to the pending CMA-1 (arising out of the IA)?

Since an appeal is a continuation of suit and an appeal (CMA-2) has been preferred (against Ord 7 Rule 10 order), would it mean that I can continue CMA-1?

Please help and let me know of any case laws with similar situation...

The first appeal has become infructious since even if your appeal is allowed there is no case pending in the lower court.
