How does one decide which Court to approach?
Your decision will depend upon the nature of the complaint. Section 9 of the Civil Procedure Code says that, unless any special Statute bars the jurisdiction - power to adjudicate the issue - Civil Courts shall try all suits of civil nature.
For cases dealing with rented premises, you will approach the Court of Small Causes (Rent Act Court). If you have a flat in a Co operative Society, you go to the Co-operative Courts. For most other civil matters you will approach the appointed Civil Court in the hierarchy of courts.
