Civil Court Jurisdiction Over Abadi Deh Possession Disputes Not Barred by Shamlat Deh Claim Without Evidence : Punjab & Haryana HC
The Punjab & Haryana High Court ruled that civil courts retain jurisdiction over possession disputes involving abadi deh land, even if the defendant claims it is shamlat deh, unless there is evidence linking the property to common land. This decision reinforces the primacy of civil courts in resolving private land disputes where revenue records are contested.
