|Punjab and Haryana High Court
Section 45 PLA | Civil Court Jurisdiction Over Mutation Disputes Not Barred by Section 13 HVCL Act : Punjab & Haryana HC
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.
