Rajasthan HC13 Jul 2018CR/135/2016

Case brief

AI extract

What is this about?

The Rajasthan Civil Revision Court set aside the High Court of Rajasthan order quashing the Collector's approval of land acquisition. The revision court held that the public suit filed by the petitioners is barred by law under the Land Revenue Act and Order VII Rule 11 CPC due to lack of cause of action and inadequate pleading regarding mutation records.

What did the court decide?

Civil suit was allowed to proceed and previous quashing order of High Court set aside. No separate show-cause notice required as the suit is barred.

(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;

¶46

(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 Court to supply the requisite stamp-paper within a time to be fixed by the Court, fails to do so;

¶47

(d) where the suit appears from the statement in the plaint to be barred by any law;

¶48

(e) where it is not filed in duplicate;]

¶49

(f) where the plaintiff fails to comply with the provisions of rule 9:

¶50

[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

¶52

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.]”
