The Bombay Revenue Jurisdiction Act, 1876
General187616 sections
This Act governs the jurisdiction of revenue officers in the state of Gujarat, which was formerly part of Bombay. It sets out the rules for land revenue, including how it is assessed and collected, and defines what constitutes land and land revenue. A key feature of the law is that it bars certain types of civil suits related to land revenue matters, meaning people must resolve these disputes through specific revenue channels rather than ordinary courts. This ensures that government revenue collection and land administration are handled efficiently and according to established legal procedures.
