    Court Decision Summary The High Court of Chhattisgarh dismissed the petition filed by Urmila Devi (widow of aboriginal landowner Muneshwar Sai) challenging a land transaction. The court held that Revenue Authorities lack jurisdiction to declare land transfers as "benami" (nominal/fraudulent), citing the Supreme Court's Khora v. Mohar Sai decision, which reserves such determinations for civil courts, not revenue officers. The Commissioner's order reversing lower authorities' benami finding was upheld as legally sound.
