Dismissed

Shri Kaluram and Anr. v. Shri Prabhulal and Ors.

Rajasthan HC2 Aug 2018CMA/2958/2018

Case brief

AI extract

What is this about?

This judgment holds that a suit for declaration of a co-ownership share in agricultural land falls under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Revenue Court. Consequently, the High Court lacked jurisdiction to entertain the appeals challenging the rejection of the plaint in a Civil Court.

What did the court decide?

Appeals against the rejection of plaint dismissed; plaint dismissed for lack of jurisdiction; appeals held diverted and non-maintainable.

" Rejection of plaint:- The plaint shall be rejected in the following cases:--

(b) where the relief claimed is undervalued, and the plaintiff, on being required by the Court to correct the valuation within a time to be fixed by the Court, fails to do so;

(c) where the relief claimed is properly valued but the plaint is written upon paper insufficiently stamped, and the plaintiff, on being required by the

(f) where the plaintiff fails to comply sub-rule (2) of rule 9;

Provided that the time fixed by the Court for the correction of the valuation or supplying of the requisite stamp-paper shall not be extended unless the Court, for reasons to be recorded, is satisfied that the plaintiff was prevented by any cause of an exceptional nature for correcting the valuation or supplying the requisite stamp-paper, as the case may be, within the time fixed by the Court and that refusal to extend such time would cause grave injustice to the plaintiff."

“In the present case the relief claimed in the suit is that the document dated 1-6-1958 in which the plaintiff had acknowledged that he had only one third share may be cancelled, apparently on the ground that the plaintiff had in fact half the share in the land in question. Issue No. 1 framed in the case is, "whether the plaintiff had half share in the tenancy rights, in the land detailed in the schedule annexed to the plaint." It is well established that in order to determine the true nature of the relief claimed in a suit, the pith and substance, and not the form in which the relief may be couched has to be considered. On considering the

¶67

-8-

¶68

pleadings in the plaint in the present case carefully and applying the doctrine of pith and substance of the pleadings. I have come to the conclusion that the relief claimed in the suit really amounted to a relief for a declaration that the plaintiff had half share in the land in question. The suit in the present case cannot be said to be one for mere avoidance of the document.”

“If the substance of the pleadings and relief claimed by the plaintiff-appellant is considered in a right perspective, it is clear that the plaintiff by means of the present suit is seeking a relief of declaration in her favour that she is khatedar tenant/co-tenant of ½ share of the land in dispute alongwith the defendant. The land in dispute being an agricultural land, such declaration can be given only by a revenue court under

¶73

-9-

¶74

the provisions of the Act. It cannot be disputed that a suit for declaration regarding an agricultural land is to be filed under Section 88 of the Act if a person claims to be tenant or a co-tenant in the agricultural land in dispute. Section 207 of the Act provides that all suits of the nature specified in the third schedule shall be heard and determined by a revenue court and no other court other than a revenue court shall take cognizance of any such suit. In Item 5 of the third schedule a suit for declaration under Section 88 of the Act has been mentioned. I am also of the view that if the revenue court passes a decree for declaration in favour of the plaintiff to the effect that she is khatedar-tenant or cotenant of ½ or any other share in the land in dispute, that court is equally competent to grant a consequential relief to the effect that the sale deed in question is void and ineffective to the extent of share of the plaintiff and it is not essential for the plaintiff to file a separate suit thereafter in a civil Court for getting the sale deed cancelled. I am also of the view that if the revenue court declares the plaintiff-co-tenant of the land in dispute, it is not necessary for her to get the sale deed cancelled as that would be automatically void and ineffective to the extent of share of the plaintiff.”
