Supreme Court ने भूमि विवाद निपटारे के लिए अलग राजस्व न्यायिक वर्ग की जनहित याचिका पर प्रतिक्रियाएँ मांगी

Supreme Court ने Union, States और Law Commission को एक जनहित याचिका (PIL) के जवाब देने को कहा है, जिसमें भूमि विवादों के लिए अलग राजस्व न्यायिक वर्ग की मांग की गई है, यह तर्क देते हुए कि गैर‑कानूनी प्रशिक्षित राजस्व अधिकारियों द्वारा वर्तमान निपटारा अनुच्छेद 14, 21 और 50 का उल्लंघन करता है। याचिका 2005 के Chandra Bhan मंडेमस के न लागू रहने को उद्धृत करती है और प्रणालीगत पक्षपात को उजागर करती है, जिससे विधायी सुधार और पूरे भारत में समान मानकों की माँग बढ़ी है।
समीक्षा Supreme Court ने Supreme Court ने Union, State governments और Law Commission of India को एक नोटिस जारी किया है, जिसमें उन्होंने Advocate Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay द्वारा दायर की गई PIL पर अपनी प्रतिक्रिया देने को कहा है। याचिका एक अलग Revenue Judicial Cadre की मांग करती है ताकि भूमि विवाद, जो लगभग 66% of civil cases बनाते हैं, कानूनी शिक्षा प्राप्त न्यायाधीशों द्वारा निपटाए जाएँ, न कि बिना औपचारिक कानूनी शिक्षा वाले राजस्व अधिकारियों द्वारा। मुख्य विकास बेंच जिसमें CJI Surya Kant और Justice Joymalya Bagchi शामिल हैं, ने Union और States को अपना उत्तर दाखिल करने का आदेश दिया। याचिकाकर्ता तर्क देते हैं कि वर्तमान प्रणाली Article 14 , Article 21 और Article 50 का उल्लंघन करती है। याचिका 2005 के Chandra Bhan case का हवाला देती है, जहाँ अदालत ने एक समर्पित वर्ग के लिए मंडेमस जारी किया था, जिसकी योग्यताएँ State Judicial Service के बराबर हों। Upadhyay ने 1985 के एक लंबित मामले को उजागर किया है जो Jaunpur में है, जहाँ एक Tehsildar को निर्णय देने से पहले स्थानांतरित किया जा सकता था, जिससे हितों का टकराव स्पष्ट होता है।

Supreme Court pushes for a dedicated judicial cadre to resolve India's land‑dispute crisis

Key Facts

  1. The Supreme Court, bench of CJI Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi, issued notice to Union, State governments and Law Commission to respond to a PIL seeking a separate Revenue Judicial Cadre.
  2. Land‑related disputes constitute about 66% of all civil litigation in India.
  3. The petitioner, Advocate Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay, has visited over 500 districts reporting uniform demand for a dedicated judicial cadre for land cases.
  4. The PIL invokes Articles 14, 21 and 50 of the Constitution, alleging violation of equality, right to fair trial and separation of judiciary from executive.
  5. The 2005 Chandra Bhan case of Allahabad High Court directed Uttar Pradesh to create a revenue judicial service; the mandamus remains unimplemented across states.
  6. A 1985 pending case in Jaunpur highlighted conflict of interest where a Tehsildar could be transferred before delivering a verdict.
  7. Revenue officers (e.g., Tehsildars) adjudicating land disputes lack formal legal qualifications and are under executive control.

Background & Context

The issue sits at the intersection of constitutional law and administrative reform. Articles 14, 21 and 50 underscore the need for an independent, legally trained judiciary, while the overwhelming share of land disputes in civil courts exposes systemic inefficiencies and potential bias in the current executive‑judicial hybrid model.
