Ex parte order passed in the other class suit No. 52/2019 (Declaration of Title)

The record is taken up for passing necessary order. This is a suit for declaration that the plaintiffs are entitled to 12 decimal of land comprised in RS plot No. 240 of RS Khatian No. 01. Perused the plaint, deposition of the plaintiff as P.W: 01-03, the documentary pieces of evidence marked as exhibits No. 01-03, and the case record. 

02. Upon such perusal and consideration of the adduced shreds of evidence, it appears that Chhamir Sardar and Habu Sardar were the reordered tenants of the CS Khatian No. 35 [ext.: 01]. Habu Sardar died leaving behind only brother Chhamir Sardar. Chhamir Sardar died leaving behind his only son Ledu Sardar. Thereafter, three SA khatians (Nos. 25, 30 & 33) were prepared and published against the name of Ledu Sardar [ext.: 02 series]. Ledu Sardar died leaving behind a son and a daughter, who are the plaintiffs to the suit. The plaintiffs’ claim envisages that the landed property of 25 decimal once recorded in plot No. 185 of the CS Khatian No. 35 is still in their exclusive possession and control.

03. The plaintiff also claims that out of the suit landed property, only 08 decimal lands are recorded in RS khatian No. 58, only 7 decimal lands in RS khatian No. 56, and the rest 12 decimal lands in the RS khatain No. 01. The plaintiffs through the shred of adduced evidence asserted that the rest 12 decimal of lands comprised in RS plot No. 240 of the Khatian No. 01 was mistakenly recorded and prepared in the name of the government (Ext.: PW-01; ext.: 03-04). It also transpires in evidence [PW-01] asserted that the plaintiffs have been in possession of the suit lands since the demise of their predecessors (CS and SA recorded tenants).

04. The PW-02 and 03 are also found to be in tune with the plaintiffs’ propositions relating to the mode, nature, and way of possession in the suit property. The materials evidence available on record demonstrates that the plaintiffs have established a betel leaf field on the suit lands. The PW-02 and 03 also appear to be convincing for they are shown to be enabled to identify the suit land with correct directions. Since the defendant government neither submitted a written statement nor contested the suit in any other way, no evidence is led by the defendant concerning the suit land. As such, nothing is proved to the contrary. Hence, it cogently appears that there appears to be proved by unimpeachable evidence as well as sufficient implications that the plaintiffs have title, ownership, and possession to the suit lands; and no clouds are seen in the sky of their title thereto.

And thus, the suit deserves to be decreed against the defendant. As such, it is decided that the plaintiffs may get the equitable relief as prayed for under section 42 of the Specific Relief Act, 1887.

Court fee paid is sufficient.

Hence,

it is ordered

that the suit is decreed ex parte against the defendant without costs. It is hereby declared against the defendant that the plaintiffs are entitled to 0.12 acre of the scheduled landed property comprising in RS plot No. 240 of RS Khatian No. 01.
