THE MAHARASHTRA REVENUE JURISDICTION ACT
The Maharashtra Revenue Jurisdiction Act
General15 sections
This Act governs land revenue matters within the State of Maharashtra by restricting the power of civil courts to interfere in specific government-related disputes. It applies to the state and defines terms like land and land-revenue. The law matters because it ensures that revenue officers can perform their duties without constant judicial oversight, particularly regarding assessments, sales for unpaid taxes, and the status of land records. By barring certain suits, it streamlines the collection of government revenue and protects the administrative functions of the state regarding land and property.
