C.A. No. 004065 - 004066 / 2022

Statutory authorities under the Punjab Village Common Lands (Regulation) Act, 1961 possess jurisdiction to adjudicate whether a civil court decree pertaining to *shamilat* land was obtained by fraud or collusion, without requiring a separate civil suit to set aside such decree, as the Act constitutes a complete code in respect of such land and Section 13 bars civil court jurisdiction.
