Now the mere fact that the zamindari lands in the present cases are situate within the boundaries of the Gangpur State is not conclusive to show that the petitioners who own them are "intermediaries" because, as the Privy Council has pointed out in two cases, the mere fact that disputed lands are within the geographical boundaries of a larger estate is not conclusive proof that they are part of that estate [see Secretary of State for India vs Raja Jyoti Prashad Singh(1) and Forbes vs Meer Mahomed Tuquee(2)]; nor is the fact that the Raja of Gangpur exercises a general superintendence over these zamindars in certain matters necessarily conclusive, for, as Lord Phillimore says in Secretary of State for India vs Raja Jyoti Prashad Singh(1) at page 552, care must be taken not to confound hierarchical superintendence with what may be called feudal overlordship.
