Sections 7 and 9, Mamlatdar's Courts Act | Non-Compliant Pleadings Must Be Remanded for Amendment, Not Dismissed : Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court has ruled that defects in pleadings under Sections 7 and 9 of the Mamlatdar's Courts Act, such as lack of verification or missing cause of action date, do not warrant outright dismissal. Instead, authorities must allow amendment and remand for fresh adjudication, preserving access to summary revenue remedies while upholding procedural fairness for litigants in property and land disputes.
