KAMLA PRASAD vs SRI KRISHNA KANT PATHAK .

The Supreme Court held that under the U.P. Zamindari Abolition and Land Reforms Act, 1950, a Civil Court lacks jurisdiction to entertain suits concerning the cancellation of sale deeds related to agricultural land. The Court affirmed the lower courts' decisions that the suit was maintainable only for abadi land and not for agricultural land, thus upholding the preliminary objection raised by the defendants. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the jurisdictional limitations imposed by the Act.
