What is the difference between a CJ&JM court and an ACJM court in Kota?

A CJ&JM (Civil Judge & Judicial Magistrate) court handles both civil suits (property, recovery, injunction, rent up to its pecuniary limit) and criminal matters. There are two principal CJ&JM courts in Kota — North and South — each covering a geographic half of the city, with Additional (ACJ&JM) courts numbered 1–5 under each. An ACJM (Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate) court, on the other hand, handles only criminal matters (FIR-based cases) and is assigned by police station area, not by ward number. For civil matters, go to the CJ&JM series; for criminal FIR-based cases, go to the ACJM series.
