The lower appellate Court felt that under section 257 (O) of the M.R. Land Revenue Code the claims by and occupancy tenant for corferral of the rights of Bhumiswami fall within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Revenue Tribunal under section 190 of the M.P. Land Revenue Code. Section 190 of the Code no doubt empoweres the Revenue Tribunal to confer the rights of a Bhumiswami; but it contemplates that these rights could only be conferred on an occupancy tenant but whether a person claiming the rights of a Bhumiswami is an occupancy tenant or not, is not within the jurisdiction of Revenue Tribunal to determine under section 190 of the Code. That question therefore will be for the civil Court to decide and section 257(O) of the Code will therefore not come into operation restricting jurisdiction of the Civil Court to entertain the suit for declaration of title."

In the istant case the real dispute between the parties centers round the question whether the defendants No.1 and 3 had acquired the status of occupancy tenants in respect of the suit lands. There is no provision in the Code which empowers any Revenue Officer to determine the status of occupancy tenant. Section 190 which deals with conferral of Bhumiswami rights on occupancy tenants can operate only when the person who claims to have acquired Bhumiswami rights under section 190 of the Code is admittedly an occupancy tenant. But that is not the situation in the present case. ........... 33. In the instant case defendants No.1 and 3 claimed to have acquired status of occupancy tenants and consequently the status of Bhumiswami in respect of the suit-lands under section 190 of the Code. The jurisdiction for deciding such a claim is vested n the civil Court and not in the Revenue Authority and the decision in the case of Rawala (supra), is on all force applicable to the facts of the instant case.
The jurisdiction for deciding such a claim is vested n the civil Court and not in the Revenue Authority and the decision in the case of Rawala (supra), is on all force applicable to the facts of the instant case. As such, it is held that the civil filed by the plaintiff challenging the defendants, claims of status as occupancy tenant is respect of the suit-land, is maintainable."

Section 190 of the Code deals with conferral of Bhumiswami right on occupancy tenant. Under section 190 Bhumiswami rights can be conferred on occupancy tenant but status of a person as occupancy tenant cannot be decided. Therefore, section 190 can be attracted only when the status of a person as occupancy tenant is not in dispute. Section 190 of the Code reads as under: 190. Conferral of Bhumiswami rights on occupancy tenants - (1) Where a bhumiswami whose land is held by an occupancy tenant belonging to any of the categories specified in sub-section (1) of section 185 except in items (a) and (b) of clause (i) thereof cfails to make an application under sub-section (1) of section 189 within the period laid down therein, the rights of a Bhumiswami shall accrue to the occupancy tenant in respect of the land held by him from such Bhumiswami with effect from the commencement of the agricultural year next following the expiry of the aforesaid period. (2) Where an application is made by a Bhumiswami in accordance with the provisions of sub-section (1) of section 189 the rights of a Bhumiswami shall accrue to the occupancy tenant in respect of the land remaining with him after resumption if any allowed to the Bhumiswami with effect from the commencement of the agricultural year next following the date on which the application is finally disposed of.
(2-A) Where the land of a Bhumiswami is held by an occupancy tenant other than an occupancy tenant referred to in sub-section (1) the rights of a Bhumiswami shall accrue to the occupancy tenant in respect of such land- (a) in the case of occupancy tenants of the categories specified in items (a) and (b) of clause (i) of sub section (1) of section 185, with effect from the commencement of the agricultural year next following the commencement of the Principal Act; (b) in any other case with effect from the commencement of the agricultural year next following the date on which the rights of an occupancy tenant accrue to such tenant. (3) Where the rights of a Bhumiswami accrue to an occupancy tenant under sub-section (1), sub-section (2) or sub-section (2-A) such occupancy tenant shall be liable to pay to his Bhumiswami compensation equal to fifteen times the land revenue payable in respect of the land in five equal annual installments, payable under section 188 for the corresponding year falls due, and if default is made in payment, it shall be recoverable as an arrear of land revenue: Provided that if from any cause the land revenue is suspended or remitted in whole or in part in any area in any year, the annual instalment of compensation payable by an occupancy tenant holding land in such area in respect of that year shall be suspended and shall become payable on year after the lat of the remaining instalments. (4) Any occupancy tenant may at his option pay the entire amount of compensation in a lump sum and where an occupancy tenant exercises this option, he shall be entitled to a rebate at the rate of ten percent. (5) The amount of compensation, whether paid in lump sum or in annual instalments, shall be deposited in such manner and form as may be prescribed by the occupancy tenant with the Tahsildar, for payment to the Bhumiswami. (6) Where the rights of a Bhumiswami in any land accrue to an occupancy tenant under this section, he shall be liable to pay the land revenue payable by the Bhumiswami in respect of such land with effect from the date of accrual of such rights.Section 257 of the code deals with exclusive jurisdiction of the revenue authorities and section 257 (O) provides that : 257.
Exclusive jurisdiction of revenue authorities -- Except as otherwise provided in this Code, or in any other enactment for the time being in force, no Civil Court shall entertain any suit instituted or application made to obtain a decision or order on any matter which the State Government, the Board, or any Revenue Officer is by this Code, empowered to determine, decided or dispose of, and in particular and without prejudice to the generality of this provision, no Civil Court shall exercise jurisdiction over any of the following matters: (O) claims by occupancy tenants for conferral of the rights of Bhumiswami under section 190; Under section 257 (O) revenue authorities have exclusive jurisdiction to decide claim of occupancy tenant for conferral of Bhumiswami right but under section 257 (O) read with section 190 the status as occupancy tenant itself cannot be decided by revenue authorities ............. Thus, it can be safely held that determination of question of Bhumiswami rights lies within the province of the Civil Court except in cases falling under section 257 of the Code. Section 257 (O) gives limited jurisdiction to revenue authorities to decide the claims of occupancy tenant for conferral of Bhumiswami rights, therefore, in cases where status of claimant as occupancy tenant is in dispute, section 190 of the Code cannot be invoked. In the present case an application under section 190 of the Code was filed by the respondent No. 5 claiming the status of occupancy tenant on the basis of cultivation and possession as 'Munafedar' from 1977-78 to 1984-85. The petitioners had filed reply dated 18.2.85/26.3.85 to this application denying the facts stated in the application and denying that the respondent No. 5 remained in possession upto 1985 as 'Manafedar'. Before the Additional Tahsildar the matter was contested by the petitioner and the issue No. 3 was framed about attaining the status of occupancy tenant by the respondent No. 5 under section 185 of the Code. This issue was contested by the petitioner and the Tahsildar held that the respondent No. 5 obtained the status of occupancy tenant under section 185 of the Code. The Tahsildar then examined the question of conferral Bhumiswami rights on the respondent No. 5 under section 190 of the Code and held the respondent No. 5 is entitled for such right on the basis of the findings about the respondents status as occupancy tenant.
The Tahsildar then examined the question of conferral Bhumiswami rights on the respondent No. 5 under section 190 of the Code and held the respondent No. 5 is entitled for such right on the basis of the findings about the respondents status as occupancy tenant. A perusal of the order of the Tahsildar indicates that the status of the respondent No. 5 as occupancy tenant was in dispute. The Tahsildar had no jurisdiction to go into the question and record a finding about the status of occupancy tenant under section 185. Proper remedy in such a case was to relegate the parties to avail the remedy of civil suit. The Additional Commissioner had rightly placed reliance upon the judgments of this court reported in Sanwal (supra), while taking a view that in the facts of the case the revenue court had no jurisdiction to confer the status of occupancy tenant to the respondent No. 5. Clear error of law was committed by the board of Revenue in reversing the order of the Additional Commissioner while exercising the revisional jurisdiction. The Board of Revenue has not noted the judgments of this court which were relied upon by the Additional Commissioner.

The order of the Board of Revenue cannot be sustained since view taken by the Board of Revenue on this issue is contrary to the judgments of this court.''

The expressions 'void and voidable' have been subject matter of consideration before English Courts times without number. In the case of Durayappah v. Femando and others [1967] 2 All Eng. LR 152, the dissolution of municipal council by the minister was challenged. Question had arisen before the Privy Council as to whether a third party could challenge such a decision. It was held that if the decision was complete nullity, it could be challenged by anyone, anywhere. The Court observed at page 158 thus;- ''The answer must depend essentially on whether the order of the Minister was a complete nullity or whether it was an order voidable only at the election of the council.
It was held that if the decision was complete nullity, it could be challenged by anyone, anywhere. The Court observed at page 158 thus;- ''The answer must depend essentially on whether the order of the Minister was a complete nullity or whether it was an order voidable only at the election of the council. If the former, it must folow that the council is still in office and that, if any councillor, ratepayer or other person having a legitimate interest in the conduct of the council likes to take the point, they are entitled to ask the court to declare that the council is still the duly elected council with all the powers and duties conferred on it by the Muncipal Ordinance.'' 17. In the case of In re McC. (A minor) [1985] 1 AC 528, the House of Lords followed the dictum of Lord Coke in the Marshal sea Case quoting a passage from the said judgment which was rendered in 1613 where it was laid down that where the whole proceeding is coram non judice which means void ab initio, the action will lie without any regard to the precept or process. The Court laid down at page 536 thus:- ''Consider two extremes of a very wide spectrum. Jurisdiction meant one thing to Lord Coke in 1613 when he said in the Marshalsea Case (1613) 10 Co. Rep. 68b : 'When a court has jurisdiction of the cause, and proceeds inverse ordinal or erroneously, there the party who sues, or the officer or minister of the court who executes the precept or process of the court no action lies against them. But whom the court has not jurisdiction of the cause, there the whole proceeding is coram no judice, and action will lie against them without any regard of the precept or process.'' The Court of the Marshalsea in that case acted without jurisdiction because, its jurisdictin being limited to members of the King's household, it entertained a suit between two citizens neither of whom was a member of the King's household.
Arising out of those proceedings a party arrested ''by process of the Marshal sea'' could maintain an action for false imprisonment against, inter alias, ''the Marshal who directed the execution of the process.'' This is but an early and perhaps the most quoted example of the aplication of a principle illustrated by many later cases where the question whether a court or other tribunal of limited jurisdiction hs acted without jurisdiction (coram non judice) can be determined by considering whether at the outset of the procedings that Court had jurisdiction to entertain the proceedings at all. So much is implicit in the Lord Coke's phrase ''jurisdiction of the cause.'' ..... 20. De Smith, Woolf and Jowell in their treatise Judicial Review of Administrative Action, Fifth Edition, pargraph 5-004, has summarised the concept of void and voidable as follows : ''Behind the simple dichotomy of void and voidable acts (invalid and valid until declared to be invalid) lurk terminological and conceptual problems of excrudciating complexity. The problems arose from the premise that if ana act, order or decision is ultra vires in the sense of outside jurisdiction, it was said to be invalid, or null and void. If it is flawed by an error perpetrated within the area of authority or jurisdiction, it was usually said ato be voidable; that is, valid till set aside on appeal or in the past quashed by certiorari for error of law on the face of the record.'' ..... 22. Thus the expression ''void and voidable'' have been subject matter of consideration on innumerable occasions by courts. The expression ''void'' has several facets. One type of void acts. transactions, decrees are those which are wholly without jurisdiction, ab initio void and for avoiding the same no declaration is necessary, law does not take any notice of the same and it can be disregerded in collateral proceeding or othewise.

The primary question emerging from rival contentions advanced by learned senior counsels is to determine the character of sale dated 1.3.1994 in the eyes of law; void or voidable?. 10. The expressions ''void'' and ''voidable' have been subject matter of consideration on innumerable occasions by Courts. Law is now wesettled. A transaction from its very inception being in violation of law is a nullity and, therefore, void ab initio. As a matter of fact, a declaration in that behald is not required by a Court of law; whereas in contrast, a transaction which otherwise is good act in the eyes of law, unless; avoided is a voidable act, i.e, if a suit is filed for a declaration that a document is fraudulent and/or forged and fabricated and a party who alleges so is obliged to prove it; seeking a declaration in that behalf in a Court of law.
In other words, where legal effect of a document cannot be taken away without setting aside the same, it cannot be treated to be void but would obviously be voidable [Judgment of Hon'ble supreme Court in the cases of Dhurandhar Prasd Sing v. Jai Prakash University and other, (2001) 6 SCC 534 relied upon.] De Smith, Woolf and jewell in their treatise judicial Review of Administrative Action fifth edition, paragraph 5-044, has summarised the concept of void and voidable as follows : ''Behind the Simple dichotomy of void and voidable acts (invalid and valid until declared to be invalid) lurk terminological and conceptuaal problems of excruciating complexity. The problems arose from the premise that if an act, order or decision is ultra vires in the sense of outside jurisdiction, it was said to be invalid, or null and void. If it is intra vires it was, of course, valid. If it is flawed by an error perpetrated within the area of authority or jurisdiction, it was usually said to be voidable; that is, valid till set aside on appeal or in the past quashed by certiorari for error of law on the face of the record.'' ....... The sale deed date 1.3.1994 since has been held to be void for which no declaration in that behalf is required from a Court of law, the question of limitation as ralsed by learned senor counsel for the respondent No. 5 is of no consequence and pales into insignificance.

In view of Section 158 (3) of the MP Land Revenue Code, a ''Patta'' is granted to a landless person for his survival, therefore, he is governmed by the mandatory provisions of Section 165(7-b) of the MP Land Revenue Code. The grant of ''Patta'' is not by way of right, but it is by way of assistance by the Government, so that the landless persons who have no source of income, can earn their livelihood by cultivating the land. Therefore, the lessee is under obligation to fulfil the liabilities of lessee and since the Governmentr ''Patta'' is granted for his livelihood, therefore, the sale of the same without permission of the Collector has been prohibited under section 165(7-b) of the MP land Revenue Code. The Chhattisgarh High Court in the case of Smt. Vijayben Patel (supra), has held that the negative words which have been used, are indicative of the intention of the Legislature that the provision is mandatory in nature. Thus, where the statutory prohibition has been created thereby restraining the sale of the Government land, then it has to be followed in its strict sense because the said provision has been made in order to protect the poor and innocent landless persons from the clutches of the unscrupulous persons. In the present case, it is an admitted position that the petitioners have never challenged the sale deed dated 7.7.2005 alleging any fraud by Smt. Vidhyadevi. The petitioners are resisting the claim of the respondents No. 1 and 2 for getting their names muted only on the ground that since the sale deed was executed in violation of the provisions of Section 165(7-b) of the MP Land Revenue Code, therefore, the sale deed is void. Section 111 of the Transfer of Properrtly Act reads as under :- '' 111. Determination of lease.
Section 111 of the Transfer of Properrtly Act reads as under :- '' 111. Determination of lease. --A lease of immoveable propertly determiness-- (a) by efflux of the time limited thereby; (b) where such time is limited conditionally on the happening of some event - by the happening of such event; (c) where the interest of the lessor in the property terminates on, or his power to dispose of the same extends only to, the happening of any event--by the happening or such event; (d) in case the interests of the lessee and the lessor in the whole of the property become vested at the same time in one person in the same right; (e) by express surrender; that is to say, in case the lessee yields up his interest under the lease to the lessor, by mutual agreement between them; (f) by implied surrender; (g) by forfeiture; that is to say, (1) in case the lessee breaks an express condition which provides that, on breach thereof, the lessor may re-enter [* * *]; or (2) in case the lessee renounces his character as such by setting up a title in a third person or by claiming title in himself; [or (3) the lessee is adjudicated an insolvent and the lease provides that the lessor may re-enter on the happening of such event]; and in [any of these cases] the lessor or his transferee [gives notice in writing to the lessee of] his intention to determine the lease; (h) on the expiration of a notice to determine the lease, or to quit, or of intention to quit, the property teased, duly given by one party to the other.'' The plain reading of above Section Would clearly indicate that if a lessee has impliedly surrendered the lease, then the lease granted in his favour, shall stand determined ''Patta'' of the Government land was given to the petitioners for their survival and earning livelihood and once, they had decided to part away the Government land by alienating the same to Smt. Vidhyadevi aftr receiving the consideration amount, then it is clear that the pettitioners are not in need of any Government land for their survival.
Once the need of the lessee is over, he/they have decided to alienate the Government land, then it can be safely said that the lessee has impliedly surrendered the lease and, therefore, the lease granted in favour of the petitioners shall stand determined under section 111 of the Transfer of the Transfer of Propertly Act. Under these circumstances, the petitioner were under obligation to return the land back to the State Government, so that the State Government may utilize the same or further allot the same to other landless and needy persons. Once the need of the petitioners is over and once they hd decided to impliedly surrender the lease by alienating the land to private persons without obtaining prior permission of the Collector, then they are not entitled to continue in possession of land given by the Government of lease.'' 11-3 ;fn ç'ukèkhu Òwfe ewy ÒwfeLokeh Jh ctjaxk ekyh d¨ iÍs ij çnk; Òwfe ugÈ gS] r¨ ÒwfeLokeh Jh ctjaxk ekyh o mudh e`R;q g¨ tkus dh fLFkfr esa] mud¢ okfjl¨a d¢ gd esa ç'ukèkhu Òwfe dk baækt djkus dh dk;Zokgh djsaA 12- mij¨ä iSjk 6 ls 10 d¢ vuqlkj vkosnd }kjk pkgs x, gd d¢ lacaèk esa fuxjkuh fujLr dh tkrh gSA mij¨ä iSjk 11 d¢ vuqlkj ç'ukèkhu Òwfe ij ewy ÒwfeLokeh d¢ gd d¢ lacaèk esa fuxjkuh Lohdkj dh tkrh gSA[ 2021 DIGILAW 669 (MP) · digilaw.ai ]
