Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of a Civil Revision by the Patna High Court, affirming that the Title Suit No. 162 of 1992 was barred under Section 43 of the Bihar Land Reforms (Fixation of Ceiling Area and Acquisition of Surplus Land) Act, 1961. The Court established that civil courts lack jurisdiction to entertain matters that fall under the purview of the Act, as explicitly stated in Section 43. Consequently, the Court dismissed the appeals, reinforcing the High Court's ruling on jurisdictional issues.
