Exclusion of jurisdiction of' civil courts.

No Civil Court shall take cognizance of any suit or proceeding brought by any person questioning the rate of water-cess levied under this Act or the liability of any person to pay such cess or any order passed under section 3: Provided that nothing in this section shall prevent any person from obtaining in the Civil Court any relief to which he may be entitled on the ground that he is not liable to pay any such cess because he is neither the registered holder nor the owner of the land in respect of which the levy has been made or on the ground that the land in respect of which the levy has been made is entitled on the date on which this Act comes into force to irrigation with water of the Bhavani river, or any other source belonging to or constructed by, or on behalf of, the Government.
