"16. Section 207 read with Section 256 of the Tenancy Act bars the jurisdiction of the civil courts in respect of suits and applications of the nature specified in the Third Schedule to the Act. The question before us is whether the relief claimed by the Appellant can be granted exclusively by a revenue court under the provisions of the Tenancy Act.

¶36

Section 88 of the Tenancy Act provides thus: 88. Suits for declaration of right:

¶37

(1) Any person claiming to be a tenant or a co-tenant may sue for a declaration that he is a tenant or for a declaration of his share in such joint tenancy.

¶38

(2) A tenant of Khudkasht may sue for a declaration that he is such a tenant.

¶39

(3) A sub-tenant may sue the person from whom he holds for declaration that he is a sub-tenant.

¶40

(4) A landholder other than a State Government may sue a person claiming to be a tenant or co-tenant of a holding or a tenant of Khudkasht or a sub-tenant for a declaration of the right of such person.

¶41

In the present case, the High Court has proceeded on the basis that the suit seeking a declaration of the gift deed relating to disputed agricultural land situated in Sikar as void and restraining Respondent Nos. 1 to 5

(4 of 6)

[2025:RJ-JP:46666]

[CR-43/2025]

from transfer or sale of the agricultural land before the civil court is squarely covered by the bar to the jurisdiction of the civil court under the provisions of the Tenancy Act. The claim of the Appellant to khatedari rights is pending adjudication by a revenue court which has the exclusive jurisdiction to adjudicate upon such a claim. The Appellant has no right to seek relief before the civil court without first getting his khatedari rights decreed by the revenue court.

¶46

For the above reasons, we find that there is no merit in the challenge preferred by the Appellant to the impugned judgment and order of the High Court. The appeals shall, accordingly stand dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs."
