JUDGMENT :
Sureshwar Thakur, J.
Since both the supra writ petitions arise from a common verdict, as, made by the learned Revisional Court concerned, therebys bot
The classification of lands as shamlat patti is upheld; civil courts lack jurisdiction over ownership disputes regarding shamlat deh lands under the Act.
The court affirmed that lands classified as Shamlat Deh cannot be claimed for exclusive ownership without sufficient evidence of independent cultivation prior to 1950.
The presumption of truth in revenue records prevails unless cogent evidence is presented to the contrary, affirming the Gram Panchayat's ownership over disputed lands.
