#civil suit pending

A Punjab & Haryana High Court decision confirms that a pending civil suit over title does not prevent an emergency attachment under Section 164 BNSS when possession is contested. Authorities may appoint a superintendent and seize the land despite ongoing civil proceedings, giving clear guidance to litigants and enforcement officers in land-dispute cases.

Madras High Court affirms that lawful possession, even without title, entitles sub-tenants to protection from structural interference until final adjudication of the civil suit. The ruling prevents demolition of common walls, safeguarding occupants' rights pending legal resolution.

Madras High Court reinforces the lis pendens principle by directing revenue authorities to refrain from mutating patta records while civil suits over disputed land are pending. The ruling protects litigants' rights by preventing irreversible changes to revenue records until final adjudication, even after interim injunctions lapse.

Madhya Pradesh High Court rules that revenue authorities cannot proceed with mutation under Section 177 of the MP Land Revenue Code when title is disputed and a civil suit is pending. The ruling reinforces that administrative proceedings must yield to judicial adjudication of property disputes, protecting parties from irreversible revenue record alterations during litigation.
