we've to file a recovery case against client, but the jurisdiction is still a question?

1. Since this is issue of recovery of money and is not a suit for immoveable property then s. 20 of C.P.C. 1908, which states that such suit should be filed where the defendant resides or has his office. Hence the jurisdiction falls under civil court in Delhi.
