The Supreme Court has emphasized the importance of avoiding unnecessary litigation, citing a recent case where a lower court remanded a matter for further consideration. In its decision, the top court set aside an order by the Allahabad High Court, which had sent a revenue map correction case back for review. The court's three-judge bench, led by Justices Rajesh Bindal and Manmohan, argued that the high court's order was based on a flawed interpretation of Section 30 of the Uttar Pradesh Revenue Code. This section deals with the maintenance of maps and field books for villages. The bench noted that the issue of correcting the revenue map had been settled between the parties over 17 years ago, when an appeal against the collector's order was dismissed in 2001. The court also pointed out that any changes to the map would require a formal process, which had not been followed in this case. In its ruling, the Supreme Court stressed the need to reduce unnecessary litigation, stating that any remand of a matter for further consideration can generate a fresh round of legal battles. The court's decision aims to promote efficiency and reduce the burden on the judicial system.
