The Text below is only a summarized version of the order pronounced

The appellant had filed a civil suit for declaration claiming ownership rights over a plot, which was
denied by the respondent. The question of ownership could have been decided by the appropriate
authority only. But it was found by the civil court that notice of consolidation proceedings were not
issued to the appellant. Thus, the Apex Court allowed the appeal directing District judge to decide
the matter considering whether consolidation Authorities had complied with the provisions of the
Act.
