2019 (11) TMI 1821 - PUNJAB & HARYANA HIGH COURTSuit for declaration of owner in possession of the suit property - HELD THAT:- Perusal of the order under revision reflects that the aforestated aspect with regard to the jurisdiction of the trial Court was not specifically raised. However, it is well settled that challenge to a Lok Adalat award can only be on limited grounds and such a challenge would lie only before the High Court by way of a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution [see STATE OF PUNJAB & ANR. VERSUS JALOUR SINGH & ORS. [2008 (1) TMI 960 - SUPREME COURT] and BHARGAVI CONSTRUCTIONS & ANR. VERSUS KOTHAKAPU MUTHYAM REDDY & ORS. [2017 (9) TMI 1731 - SUPREME COURT]. As lack of jurisdiction would go to the root of the matter, the trial Court ought to have been mindful of this aspect when an application was filed before it seeking rejection of the plaint. The order passed by the trial Court holding to the contrary, unmindful of the aforestated legal position, therefore cannot be countenanced. The order passed by the trial Court holding to the contrary, unmindful of the aforestated legal position, therefore cannot be countenanced - the civil revision is allowed.
