Rabindra Singh vs Financial Commnr.Cooperation,Punjab ...

The Supreme Court addressed the jurisdiction of a Land Revenue Court to set aside an ex-parte decree under the Punjab Land Revenue Act, 1887. It held that the provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure, specifically Order IX Rule 13, do not apply to revenue proceedings, and thus, the application to set aside the ex-parte decree was not maintainable. The Court upheld the decisions of the lower authorities, affirming that the ex-parte decree was validly passed despite the appellant's non-service of notice.
