SC notice to Centre on plea to establish revenue judicial service for land disputes
The Supreme Court has issued a notice to the Centre, Law Commission, and other authorities on a PIL seeking the establishment of a revenue judicial service with mandatory legal qualifications and training for officers handling land disputes.

It calls for minimum legal standards and high court oversight to ensure fair and effective resolution of property disputes.
