The dispute relates to Khatas No. 35 and 212 recorded in the name of the petitioners in the basic year. The pedigree of the parties as set up in the judgment of the Consolidation Authorities is as follows:
(2.) Respondents No. 4 to 6 filed an objection under Section 9A(2) of the Act alleging therein that the land in dispute was acquired by Banwari. After death of Banwari, the land in dispute was inherited by his sons Dhukhi and Charittar. Dhukhi died during the life time of Charittar and after death of Charittar his widow Smt. Rajla inherited the property. The petitioners got a farzi will executed in their favour by Smt. Rajla and Dukhi. After coming to know of farzi will Smt. Rajla made another will in their favour and since then they are in possession over the disputed land. It was also pleaded in the objection that even otherwise they being daughter's sons of Smt. Rajla are her heirs and entitled to inherit the land in dispute. The objection filed by contesting respondents was contested by the petitioners by filing a counter objection alleging therein that Dukhi died after Charittar as such Rajla cannot be the heir of Charittar.

It was further pleaded by the petitioners that the land in dispute was mortgaged by Smt. Rajla which was redeemed by Dhondhai, father of petitioner no. 3. It was also pleaded that Smt. Rajla executed a registered agreement dated 6.10.1932 and gave a Dastbardari to the petitioners.
