Natural Justice Under Mamlatdar's Courts Act | Failure to Notify Party Before Site Inspection Vitiates Land Access Order : Bombay HC

Bombay HC quashes a land access order after finding the Tahsildar relied on a site inspection panchanama conducted without notice to the affected party. The court mandates fresh proceedings with proper notice, reinforcing that procedural fairness under the Mamlatdar's Courts Act, 1906, requires all parties to be heard before adjudication.
