A suit seeking removal of unauthorized construction, restoration of water supply, and injunction against interference with easementary and nuisance-related rights was not confined to eviction from authority premises or any order under the Act's eviction provisions. Because the reliefs concerned alleged infringement of privacy, light, air, water, and drainage rights, the statutory bar did not apply and the presumption in favour of civil court jurisdiction remained intact. The civil suit was therefore maintainable. en-us Mon, 08 Aug 2022 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 29 Mar 2024 20:37:06 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=313215 Sections 71 and 177 of the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Act, 1976 exclude civil court jurisdiction only for matters the Act specifically empowers the Authority or Tribunal to decide.
