https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=170209 A suit for specific performance of a contract for sale of immovable property is not a "suit for land" under clause 12 of the Letters Patent when the plaint seeks no specific relief for possession. The controlling test is whether the relief claimed directly concerns title to, or delivery of possession of, immovable property; the character of the suit is determined from the plaint and the prayers actually made.
