D.Muthuraja v. The Tahsildar
Case brief
What is this about?
In a writ petition challenging a land survey order where a joint patta exists, the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court held that since factual disputes exist and a civil suit is pending, the petitioner must establish rights in the Civil Court. Consequently, the writ petition was disposed of.
What did the court decide?
Petition disposed without granting liberty to petitioner to conduct survey; co-pattadars must establish rights before Civil Court.
