Originally they alleged that they were regularly paying chakauta for the same land and later on, after obtaining stay order they amended the plaint and claimed adverse possession. They also did not bring to the notice of the Court the fact that the ejectment order had been passed RSA No.2505 of 2008 -2- against them under Section 11 of Punjab Village Common Land Act, 1961.
