Jurisdiction

Dear all,

Kindly help me in this...

Is there any Pecuniary Jurisidiction available to file the consumer cases? As far as I know there is territorial jurisdiction viz district level (in each district), state level and at national level.

Can't we file a case for defective goods worth Rs. 25 lakhs in a district forum coz the district forums's pecuniary jurisdiction is less than Rs. 25 lakhs?

 Kindly enlighten me.

Regards
