NONAND SINGH Vs. STATE

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS is an appeal u/s. 66 of the Ajmer Abolition of Intermediaries and Land Reforms Act, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as Act) preferred against the decision of the Add ). Collector, Ajmer dated 22. 4. 60 given under Sec. 7 of the said Act.

(2.) THE appellant preferred an application in form No. A IIV to have certain property declared as his personal property. This was opposed on behalf of the Government on the ground that the appellant was not an "intermediary" as described by the Act. THE parties were given an opportunity of producing evidence in this behalf. After recording the evidence and hearing the parties, the learned Addl. Collector came to the. conclusion that the appellant had come into the possession of the estate of which he claimed to be an intermediary through partition, which was not permissible without previous sanction as laid down by Secs. 25 and 36 of the Ajmer Land and Revenue Regulation, 1877, the estate being admittedly a Bhoomia land. He rejected the plea of the appellant that he had been recorded as Bhoomia in the record of rights. THE appellant was, therefore, declared not to be an intermediary and as such not entitled to declaration of any property to be his personal u/s 7 of the act.
