Explanation

Under Section 9 of the C.P.C., courts generally have the power to try civil suits unless their jurisdiction is expressly denied by law. This means that if the law specifically bars the court from taking cognizance of a matter, the court cannot proceed. Other conditions such as stay orders, consent of parties, or the subject matter ceasing to exist do not inherently remove jurisdiction.
