U.P. Revenue Code Rule 109(10) | SDOs Must Decide Section 116 Suits Within Six Months or Record Reasons : Allahabad HC
The Allahabad High Court has mandated that Sub-Divisional Officers decide pending revenue suits under Section 116 of the U.P. Revenue Code, 2006 within six months, as required by Rule 109(10) of the 2016 Rules. Failure to comply requires a recorded justification, reinforcing accountability in revenue adjudication and curbing chronic delays that undermine land rights and rural justice.
