JUDGMENT Davies, J. 1. Assuming that the District Munsif who gave the decree should not have entertained the suit so far as it related to an order for the sale of the land, we are clearly of opinion that the decree was not void inasmuch as the Munsif was competent, as regards the nature and value of the suit, to exercise jurisdiction and his decree was passed without objection. No objection could therefore have been taken to the validity of that decree in execution. Accordingly the orders of both the Courts below must be set aside and the application restored to the file and proceeded with according to law. In the circumstances no order will be made as to costs. Sujbrahmaniya Ayyar, J. 2. The proper Court for the institution of the suit in so far as the order for the sale of the mortgaged land, was concerned was, in my opinion, the Tirupati District Munsifs Court (Vithalrao v. Vaghoji I.L.R. 17 Bom 570. Nevertheless the decree of the District Munsifs Court at Nellore, as that of a Court perfectly competent to try a suit of the nature in question, were the lands within the local limits assigned to that Court, could not be held to be a nullity, no objection having been taken to the entertainment of the suit by that Court before the decree was passed. Compare Revell v. Blake I.L.R. 8 C.P. 533 and see also Naro Hari v. Anpurnabai I.L.R. 11 Bom. 160 note at p. 170. The judgment-debtor should not therefore have been allowed to object to the validity of the decree in the course of its execution. 3. I therefore agree in the order proposed.
