Carefully gone through the judgments and decree impugned passed by both the courts below. Learned counsel appearing for the respondent invited my attention to the Section 323 of the Rajasthan Municipalities Act, 2009 (for short, "the Act of 2009" hereinafter) and submitted that the suit in respect of the dispute between the Municipality and one or more other local authorities is not entertainable by a civil court and it is the District Collector to take cognizance of such dispute. Section 323 of the Act of 2009 provides as under:- "323. Dispute Between a Municipality and one or more authorities: (1) If any dispute for the decision of which this Act does not otherwise provide exists, between a Municipality and one or more other local authorities in regard to any matter arising under the provisions of this Act or any other law and the dispute is not amicably settled- (a) the Collector may take cognizance of the dispute and decide it himself if the dispute is with another Municipality or panchayat in the same district and his decision shall be final; and (b) In all other cases the matter shall be referred to the Divisional Commissioner, who may take cognizance of the dispute and decide it and the decision of Divisional Commissioner shall be final. (2) No suit shall be entertained by a civil court in respect of any dispute referred to in sub-section (1)" Learned counsel for the respondent submits that the appellant and respondent are the local authorities as has been defined in Clause (43) of Section 32 of the Rajasthan General Clauses Act, 1955.
