THE UNITED PROVINCES PANCHAYAT RAJ ACT, 1947

This Act was repealed on a date we do not have by the Uttarakhand Panchayati Raj Act, 2016 (Uttarakhand Act 11 of 2016), s.194(1); it may still apply to matters that began before then.

73- (1) No Nyaya Panchayat shall try civil case, revenue case or issue in respect of any matter which is pending for decision in, or has been heard or decided by a court of competent jurisdiction, in a former civil case between the same parties or between the parties under whom they or any of them claim. (2) Where a criminal case is instituted in respect of any offence or where an accused person has been tried for any offence, Nyaya Panchayat shall take cognizane of any such offence or on the same facts, of any other offence of which the accused might have been charged or convicted.
