Section 21 of the CPC mandates that objections regarding the territorial or pecuniary jurisdiction of a court must be raised at the earliest possible opportunity, specifically during the trial stage.

Where multiple courts with jurisdiction fall under the same appellate court, where should an application under Section 22 of the CPC be filed?
In a court hierarchy, when dealing with multiple subordinate courts and the need to appeal to the same higher court, the application under section 22 should be made to the APPELLATE COURT. This is because the appellate court reviews decisions from the lower courts, including those that are part of the chain it supervises. Submitting the application to the appellate court ensures it will assess the case considering decisions from the lower, potentially conflicting courts.

Therefore, the plaintiff has the option to file the suit in either jurisdiction, making both locations legally permissible venues for the litigation.
