DULHIN PADHARO DEVI vs INDRAJEET TIWARY

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of a Civil Revision challenging the maintainability of a Title Suit under Section 43 of the Bihar Land Reforms (Fixation of Ceiling Area and Acquisition of Surplus Land) Act, 1961. The Court affirmed that civil courts lack jurisdiction to entertain matters that fall under the Act, as stipulated in Section 43, which bars civil court jurisdiction over issues required to be settled by designated authorities. The Court concluded that the Title Suit was not maintainable, reinforcing the statutory exclusion of civil court jurisdiction in such cases.
