https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=200332 Section 133(2) of the Karnataka Land Reforms Act requires a civil court that has referred a tenancy issue to the Land Tribunal and stayed the suit to await the Tribunal's finding before deciding matters dependent on that issue. Unless the stay is vacated or the reference recalled, the civil court cannot determine the suit on merits concerning the referred tenancy question. A decree made contrary to that statutory procedure is treated as without jurisdiction to that extent. Passive participation by defendants does not amount to acquiescence or waive an objection to jurisdiction, because consent cannot validate a jurisdictionally defective decree. en-us Wed, 01 Jan 1800 00:00:00 +0553 Mon, 26 Mar 2018 12:14:10 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=200332 Section 133(2) of the Karnataka Land Reforms Act requires a civil court that has referred a tenancy issue to the Land Tribunal and stayed the suit to await the Tribunal's finding before deciding matters dependent on that issue.
