Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the suit for cancellation of a sale deed and injunction regarding agricultural land is maintainable despite Section 331 of the U.P. Zamidari Abolition and Land Reforms Act, 1950. The Court emphasized that the exclusion of civil court jurisdiction must be explicitly expressed or clearly implied, and that the nature of the suit determines its cognizability. The Court upheld the lower courts' decisions that the suit was maintainable, thereby allowing the plaintiff's appeal.
