Sri Varghese vs Sri Nagu Shetty on 14 June, 2024
"xxx xxx The jurisdiction of a Civil Court to
adjudicate upon matters which the Tribunal could
have determined under the provisions of the Act
aforementioned stands specifically excluded by
Section 133(1) of the Act. The question whether
the grant of the rights was for benefit of the
individuals or the joint family cannot therefore be
raised before a Civil Court. We are supported in
that view by the decision of the Supreme Court in
Mudakappa vs. Rudrappa reported in AIR 1994
SC 1190. xxx xxx"
