Code

[Jurisdiction of Civil Courts barred.]— Rep. by s. 7 ibid.

Perfect — you’re pointing to another repealed CPC provision that was struck out by the Code of Civil Procedure (Amendment) Act, 1956 (Act 66 of 1956), Section 7. Let me format it ApniLaw-style:

Code (Before Repeal)

[Jurisdiction of Civil Courts barred.]
— Repealed by the Code of Civil Procedure (Amendment) Act, 1956 (66 of 1956), Section 7.

---

Explanation

This section originally formed part of the special procedure in the Third Schedule of the CPC.

• It stated that civil courts could not entertain suits or questions relating to certain execution matters (mainly concerning agricultural land and revenue-paying estates).
• The intention was to exclude the jurisdiction of civil courts when revenue officers or Collectors were empowered to execute decrees under those special provisions.

After the 1956 repeal, the restriction was lifted, and the ordinary jurisdiction of civil courts under CPC applied once again, except where expressly barred under other laws.

Position After Repeal

• Now, civil courts retain jurisdiction in execution matters unless there is a specific bar under CPC (e.g., Section 9, Section 47) or under a special law.
• Revenue-related execution issues are handled under Section 54 CPC in coordination with Collectors, but civil court jurisdiction is not generally barred.

---

Illustration

• Before repeal: If a decree for partition of revenue-paying land was passed, questions about its execution could not be raised in a civil court; only the Collector/revenue authority could decide.
• After repeal: Such execution is still carried out by the Collector (under Section 54 CPC), but jurisdiction of civil courts is not broadly barred — they may intervene where the CPC permits.

👉 Section 9 CPC says civil courts have jurisdiction unless specifically barred. Some matters are still excluded (e.g., tribunals, special revenue courts under state laws).

Q3. What section replaced this provision?
