Civil Courts Cannot Adjudicate Disputes Over Determination Of Right To Possess Land Under Agrarian Land Reforms Act: J&K High Court

The Jammu & Kashmir High Court ruled that a civil court does not have the jurisdiction to decide land disputes covered under the Agrarian Reforms Act. The court upheld the principle that specific statutes like the Agrarian Reforms Act create special forums for resolving disputes related to agricultural land, and civil courts are barred from entertaining such matters to ensure specialized adjudication.
