Such cases will be transferred to the court having jurisdiction (pecuniary).
For clarity, I have re-produced the concerned stanzas :-
“(2-C) All appeals pending in the High Court of which the amount or value of
the subject matter of such appeals exceeds three lakh of rupees but does not exceed
five lakh of rupees shall stand transferred to the Chennai City Civil Court.”;
4. (1) All suits pending in a District Court on the date of the commencement of
this Act and which would be within the cognizance of the Subordinate Court under the
provisions of the Tamil Nadu Civil Courts Act, 1873 (Central Act III of 1873), as amended
by this Act, shall stand transferred to the Subordinate Court having jurisdiction over the
subject matter.
(2) All suits pending before an Additional Judge or a Principal Judge or in the
High Court on the date of the commencement of this Act and which would be within
the cognizance of the Chennai City Civil Court under the provisions of the Chennai City
Civil Court Act, 1892 (Central Act VII of 1892), as amended by this Act, shall stand
transferred to the Assistant Judge, Additional Judge or the Principal Judge, having
jurisdiction over the subject matter".
