Vitthal Dnyandev Thorat vs Hindurao Kondiba Jadhav — 499/2024

Summary: The defendant's application to reject the plaint under Order VII Rule 11 CPC was rejected. The court held that the plaintiff's suit for declaration of title and perpetual injunction regarding property (Block No. 48) is maintainable under Section 138(4) of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, as the plaintiff filed within one year of ejectment notice. The court found that statutory bars cited by the defendant (Bombay Revenue Jurisdiction Act sections) apply only to suits against the Government, not private parties, and title disputes fall within civil court jurisdiction.
