COLONEL HIS HIGHNESS SAWAI TEJ SINGHJI, MAHARAJA OF ALWAR vs THE UNION OF INDIA & ANR.

The Supreme Court held that the decision regarding property disputes under the Matsya and Rajasthan Covenants is an agreement barred by Article 363 of the Constitution of India. The Court found that the communication from the Government of India was not a binding decision but rather an agreement, thus preventing civil court jurisdiction. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling that the dispute could not be adjudicated in civil courts.
