https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=288020 A shrotriem village was treated as an "estate" under the Madras Estates (Reduction of Rent) Act, 1947 because the grant covered the named village, including dry lands and poramboke, and minor inams did not amount to a reservation excluding it from the statutory definition; the rent-reduction notification was therefore valid. Under the Madras Estates (Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari) Act, 1948, the scheme conferring power on the Settlement Officer, with notice, hearing, evidence, appeal and finality, impliedly excluded civil court jurisdiction on the statutory question whether an admitted inam village was an inam estate. Civil court scrutiny remained possible only on the preliminary jurisdictional fact that the property was an inam village. en-us Thu, 07 Nov 1963 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 14 May 2020 12:55:36 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=288020 A shrotriem village was treated as an "estate" under the Madras Estates (Reduction of Rent) Act, 1947 because the grant covered the named village, including dry lands and poramboke, and minor inams did not amount to a reservation excluding it from the statutory definition; the rent-reduction notification was therefore valid.
