To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ? Present: Mr.Sanjay Jain, Advocate, for the appellant. -.- MOHINDER PAL, J. This is plaintiff's second appeal whose suit for declaration to the effect that he was absolute owner and in possession of the suit land measuring 3 Kanals 6 Marlas, described in the head-note of the plaint and that entry in the revenue record in column of ownership required to be corrected was dismissed by both the Courts below. I have heard Mr. Sanjay Jain, Advocate, appearing for -2- Regular Second Appeal No. 1152 of 2010. the plaintiff-appellant and have perused the impugned judgments. In this case, no cogent evidence was produced by the plaintiff-appellant to show that he was in possession of the suit land measuring 3 Kanals 6 Marlas. In the Jamabandi for the year 2000-2001 (Exhibit P.1 and Exhibit D.6) and Jamabandi for the year 1995-96 (Exhibit P.14), the `Pardesh Sarkar' i.e the State Government is recorded as owner in possession of the suit land. Presumption of truth is always attached to the entries in the Jamabandi unless rebutted. The plaintiff-appellant could not produce any documentary evidence on record to rebut this presumption. In fact, Dujjan Singh, father of the plaintiff- appellant had been allotted 21 Kanals 12 Marlas of land and a mutation in this regard had also been sanctioned in his favour. However, the authorities concerned found that some mistake had been committed. Accordingly, the entire record was checked and it revealed that Dujjan Singh had been allotted more land to the extent of 4 Kanals 5 Marlas. Later on, land measuring 2 Kanals 2 Marlas was re-allotted to Dujjan Singh vide order dated 14.8.1980 (Exhibit D.1). Vide order dated 18.8.1980 (Exhibit D.2) passed by the Sub Divisional Magistrate, Ambala, he had directed the Naib Tehsildar concerned to get the mutation done in the name of the allottees and to hand over possession to them, which was done by the revenue authority concerned. The plaintiff-appellant is, of course, not allotted more land than owned by his father Dujjan Singh or re-allotted to him. Under the circumstances, I do not find any patent -3- Regular Second Appeal No. 1152 of 2010. illegality or irregularity in the findings recorded by the Courts below, which may give rise to any substantial question of law in the present appeal. Resultantly, this appeal is hereby dismissed being without any merit. ( MOHINDER PAL ) March 08, 2011. JUDGE ak
