Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ajay Tewari 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present: Mr.Lokesh Sinhal, Advocate for the appellant. **** Ajay Tewari, J. This is an appeal against the concurrent findings of fact. The appellant filed a suit challenging the decree suffered by Mool Chand primarily claiming to the the son of the said Mool Chand and placing reliance basically on school leaving certificate and voters list. The defendant pleaded that the plaintiff-appellant was not the biological son of Mool Chand but had been brought up by him. The clinching evidence was the statement of the brother of the wife of Mool Chand who stated that the appellant was not the son of Mool Chand and his sister and corroborated the version of the defendant. In the opinion of the Courts below the presumption, if any, raised by the school leaving certificate and voters list has been successfully rebutted RSA No.3273 of 2008 2 by the defendant. Learned counsel for the appellant has not been able to persuade me that these findings are either perverse or that they could not be arrived at on a consideration of the evidence. Thus, the questions of law proposed do not arise in the present appeal and the same is consequently dismissed with no order as to costs. (AJAY TEWARI) JUDGE October 21, 2008 sunita
