IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA C.R. No.1303 of 2008 BHOLA RAVIDAS Versus GRAM PANCHAYAT KURMAMA & ORS ----------- 2 18.8.2008 Heard Counsel for the petitioner. In the opinion of this Court, the impugned order passed by the Court below cannot be faulted and in fact the Court below has rightly come to a conclusion that the Register ‘D’; which is maintained in the usual course of official transaction by the authority under the Land Registration Act 1876, hereinafter referred to as the Act would fall within the meaning of the ‘public document’ as defined under Section 75 of the Evidence Act. Section 19-A and Section 75 of the Act apart from the provisions of Section 4, 6 and 18 of the Act relied upon by the Court below in the impugned order are itself sufficient to indicate that the Act had been framed for making a better provision for the preparation and maintenance of the register of revenue and revenue from land and the authorities of the State have been vested power to maintain such record, Register ‘D’ being one of them. In that view of the matter, it cannot be said that the Register ‘D’ will not be a public document. That being so, this Court does not find any error in the impugned order and accordingly, this civil revision application being devoid of any merit is hereby dismissed. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
