Rakesh Sharma, J. - (1.) Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Standing Counsel, who represents respondent no.1 and perused the record.
(2.) The pedigree appears to be admitted through out the litigation in the consolidation courts. The admitted pedigree has been recorded by all the three consolidation courts.
(3.) All the three consolidation courts, that is, the Consolidation Officer, Settlement Officer and the Deputy Director of Consolidation have recorded concurrent findings, based on oral and documentary evidence, including the revenue entries that right from 1347 FAaali to 1359 Fasali and 1362 Fasali, the land in Khata No. 221 had remained recorded in the name of Sri Ram, Son of Lautan, Bhusaili and Khoonti, Sons of Dukhi etc. The same entry continued unchallenged up to 1362 Fasali. It appears from the findings that an event took place in the 1363 Fasali by which the name of Pale etc., that is, petitioner etc. was recorded in Khatauni. The Consolidation courts have found that there was no mention of any specific order having been passed by any competent revenue court/authority in Khatauni 1363 Fasali. The Consolidation courts have found that the names of Pale etc. have been wrongly recorded in the Khatauni of 1363 Fasali, which continued lateron. Litigations took place in the revenue courts. The Appeal stood abated on 29.9.1975 after commencement of consolidation proceedings. All the three consolidation courts have recorded findings of fact that this entry of 1363 Fasali was illegal, invalid and ought not to have been made. Weightage has been given by the consolidation courts to the revenue entries of 1362 Fasali. Gata no. 221 had remained in the name of Lotal and Sri Ram etc. in the line of succession. Considering the oral and documentary evidence as well as unchallenged and uncontroverted revenue entries, the consolidation courts have concluded that Chak No. 221 had remained throughout in the cultivatory possession and tenure-ship of Sri Ram, Son of Lautan, Bhusaili and Khoonti, Sons of Dukhi etc.;
