The Madras High Court (Jurisdictional Limits) Extension Act, 1985

Civil19852 sections

This Act extends the ordinary original civil jurisdiction of the Madras High Court, allowing it to hear a wider range of civil cases than previously permitted. It operates by overriding the Madras High Court (Jurisdictional Limits) Act, 1997, which had previously restricted the court's powers. The legislation applies to the Madras High Court and the state of Tamil Nadu, ensuring that the court can effectively manage a higher volume of civil disputes. This extension is significant because it strengthens the judicial infrastructure in the region, providing litigants with access to a higher court for resolution of their civil matters without needing to travel to other jurisdictions.
