Section 129(5) M.P. Land Revenue Code | 3-Month Deadline Mandated for Disposal of Pending Applications & Action on Criminal Complaints : MP HC Indore

The Madhya Pradesh High Court has imposed a strict three-month deadline on revenue authorities to decide pending applications under Section 129(5) of the M.P. Land Revenue Code and to act on criminal complaints filed by aggrieved landowners. This ruling enforces statutory duty and curbs chronic administrative delay, directly impacting rural land dispute resolution and citizen access to justice in land matters.
