Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the jurisdiction of civil courts under Section 185 of the Delhi Land Reforms Act, 1954, in relation to a suit for declaration and injunction. The Court held that the High Court erred in allowing the second appeal, as the nature of the reliefs claimed did not bar civil court jurisdiction under Section 185. The Court directed the trial court to decide the suit on merits, including the jurisdiction issue, without being influenced by prior judgments.
