“... .a court always has the power and duty to examine the evidence and determine whether in fact it does have jurisdiction over the matter, (citations omitted) That being so, a [Rule 37] petition once tendered should be filed even though untimely so that the court may exercise the power and duty to determine whether jurisdiction exists. . . .once it is determined that jurisdiction does not exist, the disposition of the case must he made on that basis.”
