Plaintiff may file the suit in the court having jurisdiction of any one of the property and suit schedule properties could be both included in that suit. It is as per CPC and no separate citation is required.

In case of landed property, a suit has to be filed in the court where the property is situated, but where there are more than one landed property & on different locations but between the same parties, one suit may be filed with the leave of the court.
