casestatus.in Summary

Summary of C.A. No. 001168/1998 - Madhav Rao v. Khunru Balappa The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and remanded the matter for reconsideration. The High Court had quashed eviction proceedings initiated under the Tenancy Act, holding that title disputes ousted the Revenue Court's jurisdiction. The Supreme Court held that bare denials of title require scrutiny—courts must examine whether a title dispute has prima facie substance before dismissing jurisdiction, considering corroborating material like prior admissions in related succession proceedings.
