Mahadev Satappa Javir (Mochi) v. Natraj Basaweshwar Narole and Anr.
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court dismissed the writ petition challenging the Competent Authority's rejection of a request to refer a land acquisition dispute to the Principal Civil Court. The court held that a pending civil suit does not oblige the Authority to refer the matter as the petitioner's right was prima facie extinguished by a sale deed.
What did the court decide?
The request to refer the dispute to the Principal Civil Court of original jurisdiction is rejected. The writ petition is dismissed with no costs regardless.
