https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=383930 A civil suit seeking cancellation of a sale deed on grounds of fraud or misrepresentation is maintainable where the plaintiff does not seek declaration of title and relies on prior sale deeds showing prima facie title. Section 331 of the U.P. Zamindari Abolition and Land Reforms Act bars civil court jurisdiction only when the relief claimed falls within the exclusive competence of the revenue court. Cancellation of an allegedly fraudulent deed is distinct from a declaration of title or tenancy rights, and the revenue court cannot grant such cancellation relief. The suit was therefore not barred and could proceed in civil court. en-us Wed, 31 Jul 2019 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 03 Aug 2019 07:19:17 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=383930 A civil suit seeking cancellation of a sale deed on grounds of fraud or misrepresentation is maintainable where the plaintiff does not seek declaration of title and relies on prior sale deeds showing prima facie title.
