A civil recovery suit filed by Rovers Digital Pvt. Ltd. against Curly Tales Digital Media Pvt. Ltd. has been taken on record by the Civil Court at Gurugram, even as the defendant has moved an application seeking rejection of the plaint on jurisdictional grounds.

The suit came up before Arun Dabla, Civil Judge (Junior Division), Gurugram. By an order dated September 26, 2025, the Court recorded that the prima facie court fee was correct and directed that the suit, received by way of assignment, be checked and formally registered. The Court further ordered issuance of summons to the defendant, returnable on February 17, 2026, with liberty to effect dasti service upon compliance with procedural requirements.

Subsequently, Curly Tales Digital Media Pvt. Ltd. through Advocate Nakul Gandhi filed an application under Order VII Rules 10 and 11 read with Section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, seeking rejection or, in the alternative, return of the plaint. The defendant contended that the dispute arises out of a commercial arrangement relating to digital marketing and affiliate campaign services, and therefore qualifies as a “commercial dispute” under the Commercial Courts Act, 2015.

It was argued that the suit claim, valued at approximately ₹10.27 lakh, exceeds the statutory threshold prescribed for commercial disputes and could only be adjudicated by a designated Commercial Court, rendering the present suit before a civil court non-maintainable for want of jurisdiction.
