Section 6 of the CPC deals with pecuniary jurisdiction. What does it provide, and which courts have unlimited pecuniary jurisdiction?

1. **Section 6 of the CPC** deals with **pecuniary jurisdiction**: 'save in so far as is otherwise expressly provided, Courts shall only have jurisdiction over suits the amount or value of which does not exceed the pecuniary limits (if any) of any of its ordinary jurisdiction'. 2. '**There is NO LIMIT on pecuniary jurisdiction of HIGH COURTS and DISTRICT COURTS.**' 3. So the small cause court can try a suit for money due under a promissory note only up to a statutory ceiling; a District Court can try any monetary suit regardless of amount. 4. Pecuniary jurisdiction is one of the **four kinds of jurisdiction limits** listed in the ICSI text (along with subject matter, territorial / place of suing, and persons). _Source: ICSI CS Executive — Lesson 8, 'Pecuniary jurisdiction (Section 6)', p. 177._
