1. This regular second appeal impugns the judgment of the appellate

court dated 20.7.2013 by which the appellate court set aside the judgment of

the trial court dismissing the suit as being not maintainable in the civil court

in view of Section 185 of the Delhi Land Reforms Act, 1954. The case of

the appellants before this court, and who were the defendants in the suit, is

that Section 185 of the Delhi Land Reforms Act is a complete bar to the

maintainability of the suit. Reliance is placed on behalf of the appellants

upon a judgment of a Division Bench of this Court in the case of Om

Prakash & Ors. Vs. Govt. of NCT of Delhi & Ors. LPA No.81/2012

decided on 11.9.2012.
