Present : Mr.Ravinder Malik, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- ORDER Surya Kant, J. (Oral) This revision petition is directed by the petitioner-plaintiff against the order dated 6.4.2009, passed by the Additional Civil Judge (Senior Division), Rohtak, whereby an application under Order 7 Rule 11 CPC, moved by the respondent-defendants, has been accepted and the petitioner's suit challenging the orders passed by the Authority under the Haryana Canal and Drainage Act, 1974 (hereinafter referred to as `the Act'), has been rejected after holding that the jurisdiction of the Civil Court is expressly barred under Section 25 of the said Act. C.R. No.4933 of 2009 (O&M) 2 The impugned order reveals that after exhausting the remedy of appeal etc. under the Act, the petitioner has challenged the order passed by the Canal Authorities in a Civil Suit though Section 25 of the Act expressly bars the jurisdiction of the Civil Court to entertain and decide any question relating to the matters which fall under Sections 17 and 24 of the Act. The orders passed by the Canal Authorities and challenged by the petitioner in the Civil Suit are admittedly passed under those provisions only. No exception can, thus, be taken to the view formed by the Civil Court. The revision petition is accordingly dismissed. However, it shall not preclude the petitioner from challenging the orders of the Canal Authorities before any appropriate forum, if so advised. 31-08-2009 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
