Since then the said land is in their continuous cultivatory possession and the rent was regularly paid to the Thikana (Jagirdar). The patta issued by Thikana was filed on record of the Writ petition and was not denied. Thikana Pranhera was also under the management of the Court of Wards and the rent receipts issued by the Court of Wards in the year 1913 and 1923 along with the receipts issued by the Thikana in the year 1929, 1936 and 1938 were filed which were not denied. There had been family settlement in respect of the above land among the members of the family and accordingly the revenue records were also corrected and mutation was effected in 1960 and separate Khatas were accepted by the landholder Tehsildar.
