RSA No. 453 of 1981 (O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Date of Decision: August 12, 2009 1. RSA No. 453 of 1981(O&M) Harbhajan Singh vs. Jai Kaur and others 2. RSA No. 456 of 1981(O&M) Kirpal Kaur vs. Jai Kaur and others 3. RSA No. 674 of 1981 (O&M) Pritam Singh vs. Jai Kaur and others Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ajay Tewari Present: Mr. R.S.Chauhan, Advocate for the appellants. Mr. R.K.Sharma, Advocate for Mr. R.N.Raina, Advocate for respondent No.1. **** 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? Ajay Tewari, J. This order shall dispose of RSA Nos. 453, 456 and 674 of 1981 since common questions of law and fact are involved therein. These appeals have been filed against the concurrent judgments of the Courts below partly dismissing the suit of the plaintiffs. The courts below held that the plaintiffs are co-sharers of the land in dispute in view of the gift deed dated 30.6.1930. The Courts below protected the possession of the appellants. However, their plea that they had become owners by way of adverse possession was negatived by the Courts below. The only issue raised by learned counsel for the appellants is RSA No. 453 of 1981 (O&M) 2 that the Courts below erred in dismissing the claim of the appellants that they had become owners of the entire property by way of adverse possession. This is a pure question of fact. Learned counsel has taken me through the findings of the Courts below but has not been able to persuade me that these findings are either based on no evidence or on such misreading of the evidence so as to render them perverse. No other issue was argued. Consequently these appeals are dismissed. No costs. Since the main case has been decided, the pending Civil Misc. Applications, if any, stand disposed of.
