CrPC Section 133 | Cannot Be Invoked for Boundary or Title Disputes Within Municipal Limits; Must Be Resolved Under Karnataka Municipalities Act, 1964 : Karnataka HC
The Karnataka High Court has ruled that administrative orders under CrPC Section 133 cannot override municipal law by adjudicating property boundary or title claims. Such disputes fall exclusively within the domain of municipal authorities under the Karnataka Municipalities Act, 1964, preventing misuse of criminal procedure for civil land conflicts and clarifying jurisdictional boundaries for local governance.
