STATE OF RAJASTHAN vs RAO RAJA SARDAR SINGH

The Supreme Court ruled that under the Rajasthan Land Reforms and Resumption of Jagirs Act, 1952, specifically Sections 46 and 32, the jurisdiction of civil and revenue courts is ousted regarding claims against Jagirdars. The Court held that the Jagir Commissioner’s order, which rejected the State's claim for recovery of dues from the compensation payable to the Jagirdar due to lack of proper accounting, is final. Consequently, the Board of Revenue correctly quashed the Tehsildar's order seeking recovery, affirming that the State's claim was not maintainable after the Jagir Commissioner's decision.
