Gupta, J.<\/p>\n<p>1. This is a plaintiff&#8217;s appeal. The only question for consideration here is whether the suit is barred by the proviso of the Madhya Bharat Abolition of Jagir Act. In the suit the plaintiff sought to have a declaration that the order of the Tehsildar, which was affirmed by the Collector, holding that the defendant was a &#8220;pacca Krishak&#8221; was invalid. The Trial Court held that the suit was barred and rejected the plaint. The first Appellate Court was of the view that the suit was maintainable and remanded it to the trial Court for hearing on the merits. The High Court on a consideration of the language of Section 34 of the aforesaid Act held that the suit was barred and the order of the Tehsildar could not be challenged in the Civil Court except on the ground that it was nullity. We find no reason to differ from the view taken by the High Court. The appeal is accordingly dismissed. There will be no order as to costs in this appeal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Supreme Court of India Raghunath (Dead) By Lrs. vs Kanhiya (Dead) By Lrs. on 24 July, 1979 Equivalent citations: AIR 1979 SC 1936, (1980) 1 SCC 202, 1979 (11) UJ 580 SC Author: A Gupta Bench: A Gupta, P Kailasam JUDGMENT A.C.
