Can a civil court decide reinstatement of a Bhumiswami improperly dispossessed under section 250 of the Chhattisgarh Land Revenue Code, 1959?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 250 of the Chhattisgarh Land Revenue Code, 1959 gives a Bhumiswami who has been improperly dispossessed a summary remedy before the Tahsildar to be put back in possession, and section 257 bars a civil court from entertaining matters that the Code requires a revenue officer to decide. The answer is therefore "No": a civil court cannot order reinstatement under section 250, and the parties' consent cannot confer a jurisdiction that the statute excludes, though a separate civil suit on title is a different matter.
