The Supreme Court of India has agreed to examine a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) that seeks the establishment of a dedicated Revenue Judicial Service for land disputes. The PIL, filed by advocate Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay, argues that the current practice of having revenue and consolidation officers, who often lack formal legal education and judicial training, adjudicate land disputes violates Articles 14, 21, and 50 of the Indian Constitution. It highlights that approximately 66% of civil litigation in India pertains to land and property disputes, which are frequently decided by untrained officers, leading to inconsistent and flawed decisions. The petition emphasizes the need for minimum legal qualifications and judicial training for these officers and calls for their decisions to be supervised by High Courts. The Supreme Court Bench, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, acknowledged the significance of the issue but noted that it may largely fall under legislative jurisdiction. The court has issued a notice regarding the PIL, with a returnable date set for four weeks. The petition further argues that the existing framework, rooted in colonial practices, causes systemic injustice and burdens constitutional courts with unnecessary appeals, particularly affecting citizens reliant on land rights.
