Ishwar Rameshwar Dendule vs State Of Maharashtra Through its Collector Washim Advocate - GIMEKAR SAHEBRAO KHANDUJI — 115/2025

Case Summary: Ishwar Rameshwar Dendule v. State of Maharashtra Outcome: The defendant's application to reject the plaint under Order VII Rule 11 of the CPC was rejected. The civil suit for declaration and permanent injunction challenging a Tahsildar's order regarding unauthorized conversion of agricultural land to non-agricultural use is maintainable and will proceed. Key Points: The court found the plaintiff stated a valid cause of action in the plaint and held that the civil court has jurisdiction to entertain the suit despite arguments that it was barred under the Bombay Revenue Jurisdiction Act and Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, as the plaintiff seeks reliefs (declaration and injunction) that only civil courts can grant, not revenue authorities.
