In Brief
In this civil appeal arising from land ceiling disputes in Haryana, the Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of suits challenging orders by the Prescribed Authority under the Haryana Ceiling on Land Holdings Act, 1972. The Court held that Section 26(b) of the Act expressly bars civil suits to examine the legality of such administrative orders. As civil courts lack jurisdiction over matters with express statutory bars, the suits were not triable in civil courts. Finding no merit in the appellants' challenge, the Court dismissed both appeals.
