Mr. Abhay Hastimal Jain and Anr. v. the State of Maharashtra (through Its Secretary, Urban Development Dept.) and Ors.
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court of Bombay refused to interfere in a writ petition challenging the City Survey Officer's refusal to measure land. It held that the remedy lies in the appellate hierarchy under the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966, not in writ jurisdiction.
What did the court decide?
Petition dismissed; approached Appellate Authority within four weeks for condonation of delay if filed late.
