I dont have any citations, court could have sent all the doucments when the plaint is returned. U file an application to return of documents in the earlier court where u had filed a suit.

very strange, in my opinion when the court returns the plaint that means the plaint is not numbered or registered with it, therefore there are no records of any case as such....then how the court can detain the documents.
good proposition otherwise, i ll find some judgment on this issue.

Attention is invited to Rules 10 and 10A,
Order VII of the Code of Civil
Procedure, 1908, as amended by Act No. 104 of 1976, according to which the Court shall
return the plaint to the plaintiff for presentation to the proper Court after following the detailed procedure laid down particularly in new Rule 10A.
The Courts should strictly follow the said procedure in cases where they come to the conclusion that the plaint should be returned for being presented to the Court in which the suit should have been instituted.
The term plaint would include all the documents filed along with it. There is no procedure in CPC whereby the new court could call for the records.
