RSA No. 1366 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH RSA No. 1366 of 2009 Date of Decision: April 05 , 2010 Krishna Bai and another ...... Appellants Versus Diwan Singh and others ...... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ajay Tewari Present: Mr.Sandeep Punchhi, Advocate for the appellants. **** 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 appeal has been filed against the finding of the learned Lower Appellate Court holding respondent No.1 entitled to inherit the property of Sohan Singh along with appellants and respondents No. 4 to 9. The learned Lower Appellate Court, on appreciation of evidence, found that respondent No.1 was the adopted son of Sohan Singh. The following questions have been proposed:- a) Whether in the absence of any adoption deed or any documentary evidence to the effect whether the respondent No.1 can be held to be the adopted son of deceased Sohan Singh? b) Whether the entries in the jamabandi can be relied upon RSA No. 1366 of 2009 2 while ascertaining the relationship of one person with another? c) Whether there being no evidence with regard to the adoption, respondent No.1 can be held to be an adopted son of Sohan Singh? d) Whether the findings of the learned appellate court which are totally based on mis-reading of evidence placed on the file,m are legally sustainable in the eyes of law? It would be seen that all the questions proposed are pure questions of fact. Learned counsel has taken me through the findings of the learned lower Appellate Court recorded thereon but has not been able to persuade me that the said findings are either based on no evidence or on such perverse misreading of the evidence so as to be liable for interference under Section 100 CPC. Consequently holding all the questions proposed against the appellant, this appeal is dismissed. No costs. (AJAY TEWARI) JUDGE April 05, 2010 sunita
