A Deputy Commissioner or municipal authority does not possess the inherent or statutory jurisdiction to summarily cancel a long-standing Khata without a clear finding of fraud or a decree from a competent Civil Court. While the State can initiate action against illegal encroachments, it cannot use administrative proceedings to adjudicate complex disputes of title; the proper remedy remains with the Civil Court. Karnataka High Court.
