#Punjab Land Revenue Act

The Punjab & Haryana High Court ruled that inheritance confers immediate ownership rights, and a suit for possession is not barred by limitation unless ouster is proven. The court emphasized that co-owners retain their rights unless active exclusion is established, reinforcing the burden of proof on adverse possession claimants.

The Punjab & Haryana High Court ruled that suits challenging mutation entries under Section 45 of the Punjab Land Revenue Act remain maintainable in civil courts, even against Gram Panchayats, unless the dispute involves land classification or vesting under the Haryana Village Common Lands Act. This preserves judicial recourse for landowners contesting revenue records without triggering statutory bars.
