Lahorimal Jethanand vs Managing Officer/Tahsildar, Jalna & ...

The Supreme Court held that under Section 36 of the Displaced Persons (Compensation and Rehabilitation) Act, 1954, and Section 46 of the Administration of Evacuee Property Act, 1950, the jurisdiction of civil courts is barred in matters concerning the allotment of property to displaced persons. The Court found that the High Court erred in directing the appellant to seek relief through civil proceedings, thereby dismissing the writ petition. The appeal was allowed, and the orders of the High Court were set aside, affirming the appellant's entitlement to the property in question.
