(ii) **Place of suing or territorial jurisdiction** (each court fixed by Government); 4. (iii) **Jurisdiction over persons** (all persons subject to jurisdiction of Civil Courts of the country except a foreign State, its ruler or representative); 5. (iv) **Pecuniary jurisdiction depending on pecuniary value of the suit** (Section 6 — no limit for High Courts and District Courts). 6.

Answer: (D) Jurisdiction of Police station.' _Source: ICSI CS Executive — Lesson 8, 'Jurisdiction of Courts and Venue of Suits' + question box, pp. 177-178._
