ABSTRACT
The Code of Civil Procedure does not define cognizance and jurisdiction. In simple terms, it is the court's ability to resolve the matter. The Indian judiciary has invoked the ancient legal maxim 'Ubi jus Ibi Remedium,' which means that where there is a right, there is a remedy. The judicial forum must have jurisdiction to hear the case. As a result, jurisdiction is frequently based on the location where cause of action arises. The most important function of the state is the administration of justice. The Court will have jurisdiction over the proceedings. Our constitution established various types of courts for this purpose. The authority granted to a legal body, such as a court, to administer justice within a defined field of responsibility is referred to as jurisdiction.
