The petitioner alleged that the properties were within the jurisdiction of the District Judge, Gautam Buddha Nagar. The respondent submitted an affidavit indicating that all such properties are actually situated within the jurisdiction of the District Judge (South‑East), Saket Court, New Delhi, and that the matter had been referred there on 20‑April‑2026.
