The court held that the Act is a complete code and that matters assigned to revenue authorities under Schedule I, including claims to bhumidari status and related possession or title disputes, must be pursued in the statutory forum. The substance of the plaint controls, not its form, so recasting the claim as a challenge to vesting, or describing the land as banjar or ghair murnkin, does not avoid the bar. The remedy lies before the revenue authorities. en-us Fri, 23 Feb 1973 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 07 Jul 2017 16:55:06 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=193006 Civil court jurisdiction is barred where a plaint, in substance, seeks declaration of bhumidari rights or challenges vesting of agricultural land governed by the Delhi Land Reforms Act, 1954.
