legal-practice - Question and answers

I'm a lawyer based in Delhi handling a property dispute case filed in the District Court. The defendant has raised a preliminary objection regarding jurisdiction under Section 9 of the CPC, claiming the suit should be in a different state. I've already submitted the plaint with details under Order 7, but the court hearings are frequently adjourned, causing delays. I want to know the best practical approach to address this without unnecessary procedural hurdles.
