No. 5916 of 2004, whereby the learned Single Judge has quashed the order dated 24.03.2004, passed by the learned Additional Member Board of Revenue, wherein the respondents have claimed that they are purchasers, and challenged the order of the Additional Member, Board of Revenue confirming the order of the appellate authority - 2 - i.e. Additional Collector. By the impugned order the pre-emption application filed on behalf of father of respondent nos. 5 and 6 was allowed. Contention sought to be raised by the learned counsel for the appellants before the learned Single Judge that they are the pre-emptors, co-sharers and the boundary raiyat. The learned Single Judge was of the opinion that there is no other oral and documentary evidence to prove the case that the land stands in the name of Mundrika Singh. It has also been observed that the registered sale deed is in the name of one another Suresh Singh, son of Mundrika Singh. In view of the findings of the learned Single Judge that there was no oral or documentary evidence available on the record to show that the land in question was in the name of said Mundrika Singh, we are of the opinion that the order passed by the learned Single Judge needs no interference. Accordingly, this L.P.A. stands dismissed. Bhardwaj/Namita (T. Meena Kumari, J.) (Akhilesh Chandra, J.)
