Deoria.  The respondents 3 to<br \/>\n7  and\tone Smt.  Samundri filed objections before the\tAssistant<br \/>\nConsolidation  Officer\tand prayed that the name of the\t recorded<br \/>\ntenure\tholders\t be  expunged  and their names\tmay  be\t recorded<br \/>\ncontending  that  one Smt.  Rojhani was the tenure holder of  the<br \/>\ndisputed  property;   she  died in the year 1966  and  they  were<br \/>\nentitled  to  the  said\t property by succession.   There  was  no<br \/>\ndispute\t between  parties  that the properties\tbelonged  to  Ram<br \/>\nSubhag.\t  The said property was recorded in his name in\t Khatauni<br \/>\nof   1332  Fasali.   The  appellants   contested  the  claim   of<br \/>\nRespondents  3\tto 7 and Smt.  Samundri on the ground that  after<br \/>\nthe  death  of Smt.  Rojhani in the year 1966, Mahaveer and  Udit<br \/>\nbecame\tentitled to succession under Section 171 of Uttar Pradesh<br \/>\nJamindari  Abolition  and Land Reforms Act, 1953 (for  short  the<br \/>\nAct).  In the said proceedings before the Assistant Consolidation<br \/>\nOfficer, the respondents examined Shanker and one Kuber Pandey in<br \/>\nsupport\t of  their claim.  The Appellant No.  1\t himself  entered<br \/>\ninto  witness box to support his claim and one Sudendar was  also<br \/>\nexamined  as  DW-2.  The Appellants contended that  Mahadev,  the<br \/>\nhusband\t of  Smt.   Rojhani died after the death of  Ram  Subhag,<br \/>\nhence  succession to Smt.  Rojhani was governed by Section 171 of<br \/>\nthe  Act.  The Consolidation Officer by his order dated\t 3.5.1979<br \/>\nallowed\t the  objections of the Respondents and\t granted  relief.<br \/>\nThe  appellants filed an appeal challenging the said order before<br \/>\nthe Assistant Settlement Officer, Consolidation.  The said appeal<br \/>\nwas   allowed\ton  2.8.80  and\t  the  order  of  the\tAssistant<br \/>\nConsolidation  Officer was set aside.  This time the  respondents<br \/>\nfiled  a  revision before the Deputy Director  of  Consolidation,<br \/>\nquestioning  the  validity  and correctness of\tthe  order  dated<br \/>\n2.8.80 passed by the Assistant Settlement Officer, Consolidation.<br \/>\nThe  Deputy  Director,\ton  detailed  examination  of  respective<br \/>\ncontentions  in the light of the material placed on record,  came<br \/>\nto  the\t conclusion  that  the\torder  passed  by  the\tAssistant<br \/>\nSettlement Officer, Consolidation, in appeal was not sustainable.<br \/>\nIn  the\t view he took, the revision petition was allowed and  the<br \/>\nOrder  dated  2.8.80  passed  in  the  appeal  by  the\tAssistant<br \/>\nSettlement  Officer,  Consolidation, was set aside and the  order<br \/>\ndated  3.5.1979\t of  the  Consolidation\t Officer  was  confirmed.<br \/>\nAggrieved  and\tdissatisfied  by the said order\t dated\t30.3.1981<br \/>\npassed\tin  revision,  the  appellants filed  Civil  Misc.

The High Court after examining the rival  submissions<br \/>\nmade,  dismissed the writ petition finding no merit in it.  Hence<br \/>\nthis appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p>Having\tregard\tto the contentions raised and the nature  of  the<br \/>\ndispute, it is necessary to look to the pedigree of the family of<br \/>\nRam Subhag, given below:-\n<\/p>\n<p>Ram\t\t\t      Subhag\t\t\t\t\/\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;\t\/   \/\t\/<br \/>\nMahadev\t Mahaveer Udit \/ \/ \/ Rojhani (widow) Komal Ram Chandra\t\/<br \/>\nSamundri\t\t     Devi\t\t       (daughter)\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;  \/ \/ \/ \/\t\/<br \/>\nShanker Aaras Satya Narain Kapil Dev Prabhu Nath<\/p>\n<p>In   the  order\t dated\t30.3.1981  of  the  Deputy  Director   of<br \/>\nConsolidation, it is recorded thus:-\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Both the parties admit that if Mahadev died during the life time<br \/>\nof Ram Subhag and the name of Rojhani was however recorded during<br \/>\nthe  life  time\t of  Ram Subhag, then it will  be  deemed  to  be<br \/>\nself-acquired  and  after  the death of Rojhani, it will  not  be<br \/>\ndecided\t under\tSection\t 171 but under Section 174  and\t in  case<br \/>\nMahadev\t died  after  Ram Subhag, then it will be  decided  under<br \/>\nSection 171 after the death of Rojhani.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>Before\tus  also, the legal position as indicated above\t was  not<br \/>\ndisputed by the leaned counsel for the parties but they contested<br \/>\nonly  with  regard to the aspect whether Mahadev died during  the<br \/>\nlife  time  of Ram Subhag or later.  Hence, the decision  in  the<br \/>\ncase  essentially  depended on the finding of fact as to  whether<br \/>\nMahadev\t died  during lifetime of Ram Subhag or he  survived  Ram<br \/>\nSubhag.\t  In  this view it is considered unnecessary to refer  to<br \/>\nthe decisions cited.\n<\/p>\n<p>Learned\t Senior\t Counsel for the appellants contended  that  Smt.<br \/>\nRojhani\t when examined in the suit filed under Section 176 of the<br \/>\nAct  stated  that  Mahadev died after the death\t of  Ram  Subhag;<br \/>\nShanker the respondent No.  3 also stated that Mahadev died after<br \/>\nthe  death  of\tRam Subhag and one Kuber Pandey examined  in  the<br \/>\nmutation  case had also stated that Mahadev died after the  death<br \/>\nof  Ram\t Subhag.  According to the learned Senior  Counsel,  this<br \/>\nevidence  was binding on the respondents.  He added that the copy<br \/>\nof  the\t death\tcertificate of Mahadev filed at later  stage  was<br \/>\nforged and fictitious.\n<\/p>\n<p>Per  contra,  the learned counsel for the contesting  respondents<br \/>\nsubmitted  that the Assistant Consolidation Officer (the original<br \/>\nauthority)   and  the  Deputy\tDirector  of  Consolidation  (the<br \/>\nrevisional  authority), looking to the evidence placed on record,<br \/>\nboth  oral and documentary, were right and justified in accepting<br \/>\nthe  case of the respondents.  He added that the High Court  also<br \/>\ndid  not find any merit in the writ petition and as such the same<br \/>\nwas dismissed by the impugned order.\n<\/p>\n<p>As  can\t be  seen from the order dated 30.3.1981  passed  by  the<br \/>\nDeputy Director of Consolidation in revision, he has examined all<br \/>\naspects in considerable details.  He has referred to statement of<br \/>\nMahaveer  in  which  he\t had stated that Ram  Subhag  died  after<br \/>\nMahadev;   Komal also has said in his statement that Mahadev died<br \/>\nduring\tthe life time of Ram Subhag;  the oral evidence according<br \/>\nto  him,  lead\tby parties on either side was  general.\t  In  the<br \/>\ncircumstances,\tthe  oral evidence consistent with the\tdocuments<br \/>\nwas  accepted  and rightly so.\tReference is made to Khatauni  of<br \/>\nMahadev\t from which it was established that he died in 1920.   It<br \/>\nwas  clear  from Khatauni of 1333 that Ram Subhag was alive  till<br \/>\n1929,  which is equivalent to Khatauni 1333.  It was also noticed<br \/>\nthat  there was no evidence to show that name of Mahadev was ever<br \/>\nrecorded  in  respect of the disputed land.  If Mahadev had  died<br \/>\nafter  Ram Subhag, his name should have been recorded in  respect<br \/>\nof  the\t disputed  property.   Referring to  the  judgment  dated<br \/>\n19.2.1970  of  the Member of Revenue Board it was taken as  proof<br \/>\nthat Mahadev died during the lifetime of Ram Subhag.  In the said<br \/>\norder passed in the revision, it is also stated thus :-\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Therefore  the\t name  of Rojhani remained recorded  without  any<br \/>\nauthority  and her ownership was admitted by the opposite parties<br \/>\nin  the\t case under Section 176 and thus this will be treated  as<br \/>\nself  acquired property because neither the opposite parties took<br \/>\nany  proceedings for removal her name, nor it will be admitted on<br \/>\nthe basis of the entries that the opposite parties had taken some<br \/>\nproceeding  for\t removal  of her name and neither the  other  two<br \/>\nopposite parties admitted them as co- partners and thus after the<br \/>\ndeath  of Rojhani, the sons of her daughter have become heirs  of<br \/>\nher under Section 174 of the Succession Act.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>From  the  translated  copies  of statements  of  Smt.\t Rojhani,<br \/>\nShanker\t and Kuber Pandey, filed along with the S.L.P.\tit cannot<br \/>\nbe  said  that their evidence is clinching on the  point  whether<br \/>\nMahadev\t died  during the life time of Ram Subhag or he\t survived<br \/>\nhim.   On the other hand, their statements are vague and general.<br \/>\nSmt.  Rojhani has only stated thus:-\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ram  Subhag  and  Mahadev  both died in the  same  year  due  to<br \/>\n(Cholera),  Mahadev  suffered (Cholera) first but the old  person<br \/>\nRam  Subhag  died first.  My husband Mahadev died thereafter  six<br \/>\nmonths.\t The last rituals of both the persons were together.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>In his statement, Shanker has stated thus:-\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I  did not see Ram Subhag.  I did not see Mahadev also.  Earlier<br \/>\nthe  Khata  of all these were joint.  I do not know  whether  the<br \/>\nname  of  Mahadev  was recorded in the Khata.  The name\t of  Smt.<br \/>\nRojhani was recorded 40-45 years back and I do not know what time<br \/>\nhas  passed  away the death of Mahadev.\t Rojhani was 70-80  years<br \/>\nold at the time of her death.  I do not know whether Mahadev died<br \/>\nduring the life time of his father or when he died.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>Kuber Pandey has stated thus:-\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I  had\t not  seen  Mahadev.  First of all Ram\tSubhag\tdied  and<br \/>\nMahadev died after him.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>The  High Court, having considered rival submissions, rightly did<br \/>\nnot  find  any merit in the writ petition, having regard  to  the<br \/>\nmaterial  placed on record and the reasons recorded in the  order<br \/>\nof  the\t Deputy Director, Consolidation based on evidence.   This<br \/>\nbeing the position, in our view, the impugned order does not call<br \/>\nfor interference.  Hence the appeal is dismissed.  However, there<br \/>\nwill be no order as to costs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Supreme Court of India Komal &amp; Another vs Deputy Director Of &#8230; on 25 July, 2000 Author: S V Patil Bench: S.
