Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the dispute between the plaintiffs, claiming ownership of land, and the defendant, asserting tenancy, is exclusively triable by the Revenue Court under relevant land laws. The Court emphasized that the relationship of landlord and tenant must be established to determine jurisdiction, and since the defendant claimed to be a tenant, the suit for permanent injunction and mandatory injunction was dismissed. The Court upheld the High Court's order, affirming that the trial court lacked jurisdiction to entertain the suit.
