Key Principle Established
Revenue court has jurisdiction to partition agricultural land. Partition by metes and bounds should ensure each co-sharer gets a compact block of land equivalent to their share.
Co-sharers in agricultural land sought partition through the revenue court. Disputes arose regarding the mode of partition and valuation of different land parcels.
The Court confirmed that revenue courts have jurisdiction to partition agricultural land under Sections 135-140 of the Punjab Land Revenue Act. Partition should be by metes and bounds, ensuring each co-sharer gets a compact block equivalent in value to their share, considering soil quality, irrigation, and location.
