Report No. 14

26. Enhancement of jurisdiction in Telangana.-

We recommend the enhancement of the original and small cause powers of subordinate judges in the Telangana region to that enjoyed by their counterparts in the Andhra region. The number of suits valued below Rs. 2,000 that are brought to trial before the courts in the Telangana region is large. Enhancement of small cause jurisdiction of subordinate judges in this region to Rs. 2,000 will, to some extent, relieve the munsifs of the increased institution consequent upon raising their pecuniary jurisdiction to Rs. 5,000.

27. State of work in District Courts.-

The state of the file in the district and sessions courts during the triennial period 1954-56 is set out in the accompanying Table.
