Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the jurisdiction of the High Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, determining that the High Court exceeded its authority by setting aside the Nazul Officer's order without considering the alternative remedy available under Section 18 of the Revenue Book Circular. The Court held that the High Court's directive for the Nazul Officer to personally explain his 'misconduct' was unjustified, emphasizing the need for adherence to procedural norms. Consequently, the appeals by the State of Madhya Pradesh were allowed, reinstating the Nazul Officer's decision.
