in case of immovable property, the jurisdiction comes where the property resides. in your case the case jurisdiction comes under Mumabi courts.
you can findout a suitable lawyer in mumbai only, for better advice.

The jurisdiction is based upon two essentails ;1.the location of subject matter and redidance of parties.If the parties (both) are intrested in contesting the case in pune,then only it is possible,but it is proper to file the suit in MUmbia court and that will be best in the intrest of early settlement of dispute.Besides the lwayer you engage will be best judge of situation better is to consult any civil laywer.

the time period by which the case should be filed and depending upon the value of the property the level of the court where the can be filed. Iam given to understand that if the value of property exceeds 5 lakhs then the case has to be filed in High Court ... Is it correct ?
