#revenue authorities jurisdiction

The Karnataka High Court reaffirmed that revenue authorities lack jurisdiction to decide title disputes, reserving such powers exclusively for civil courts under Section 136 of the Karnataka Land Revenue Act. This ruling reinforces the separation of powers, ensuring property disputes are adjudicated by competent civil courts, protecting landowners from administrative overreach.

Bombay High Court holds that revenue authorities under Maharashtra Land Revenue Code cannot adjudicate title or validity of civil court decrees in mutation proceedings.
