This regular second appeal has been filed by defendant No.2<\/p>\n<p>challenging the judgment and decrees of the Courts below whereby the<\/p>\n<p>suit of plaintiff-respondents for permanent injunction restraining the<\/p>\n<p>defendant-appellant from interfering in the possession and cultivation of the<\/p>\n<p>suit land has been decreed.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.           Briefly, the case of the plaintiffs is that Sheo Lal predecessor-<\/p>\n<p>in-interest of the   plaintiffs and the proforma defendant No.3 was in<\/p>\n<p>possession of the suit land for the last 65 years as tenant on payment of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.253\/- as rent per annum to be paid to the owner Fateh Lal. Since Sheo<\/p>\n<p>Lal was tenant prior to 1956, so he could not be evicted from the suit land.<\/p>\n<p>Later on, Nand Kishore became the owner of the suit land and he did not<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> RSA No.811 of 2005(O&amp;M)                             2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>give notice regarding change of ownership to Sheo Lal, but in any case,<\/p>\n<p>Sheo Lal became the tenant under Nand Kishore. Sheo Lal expired and<\/p>\n<p>the plaintiffs and proforma defendant No.3 became tenant over the suit<\/p>\n<p>land. One Girdhari son of Fateh Lal in connivance with Nand Kishore and<\/p>\n<p>Patwari of the village got wrong entries in the revenue record . After getting<\/p>\n<p>wrong entries in the revenue record, Girdhari Lal filed a suit for possession<\/p>\n<p>and recovery in the Court of Assistant Collector 1st Grade, Narnaul which<\/p>\n<p>was dismissed on 5.2.1993 and it was held that Girdhari lal had no concern<\/p>\n<p>with the possession or cultivation of the suit land.      Appeal against the<\/p>\n<p>aforesaid order was also dismissed on 18.11.1995 by the Collector<\/p>\n<p>Narnaul. Revision before the Commissioner, Gurgaon was also dismissed<\/p>\n<p>on 16.1.1996. There is a decree dated 1.10.1971 in which it was held<\/p>\n<p>that Sheo Lal was tenant under Nand Kishore on payment of Rs.253\/- per<\/p>\n<p>annum as rent. Thus, the plaintiffs and the proforma defendant No.3 being<\/p>\n<p>the legal heirs of Sheo Lal were in possession of the suit land as tenant<\/p>\n<p>under Nand Kishore and defendants No.1 and 2 had no concern<\/p>\n<p>whatsoever with the same. They had sown the crops in the suit land and<\/p>\n<p>defendants No.1 and 2 were bent upon destroying the crops and taking<\/p>\n<p>the possession of the suit land forcibly. So the plaintiffs have filed this suit<\/p>\n<p>seeking decree of permanent injunction for restraining defendants No.1<\/p>\n<p>and 2 from interfering the possession and cultivation of the land measuring<\/p>\n<p>21 bighas 17 biswas Khewat No.1677 Khatoni No.2411 and 2412, Khasra<\/p>\n<p>numbers 26(5-13), 32(5-10), 56 min(7-4) and 61(3-10) situated in Tehsil<\/p>\n<p>Narnaul District Mohindergarh.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.           The defendants No.1 and 2 filed their written statement and<\/p>\n<p>raised preliminary objections qua maintainability, non-joinder of Nand<\/p>\n<p>Kishore as a party, suppressing the material facts, locus-standi, time<\/p>\n<p>barred and estoppel. On merits, the defendants No.1 and 2 pleaded in the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> RSA No.811 of 2005(O&amp;M)                           3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>written statement that Bholu, father of defendant No.2 (Chandro, wife of<\/p>\n<p>Siri Ram) was in cultivating possession of the land measuring 10 bighas 14<\/p>\n<p>biswas comprised in Khasra numbers 56(7-4) and 61(3-10) out of the suit<\/p>\n<p>land.    Bholu expired in the year 1980 and thereafter defendant No.2<\/p>\n<p>forcibly entered into possession of the suit land and since 25.4.1980 she<\/p>\n<p>was in open, hostile and continuous possession of this land as such the<\/p>\n<p>possession of defendant No.2 over this land measuring 10 bighas 14<\/p>\n<p>biswas has ripened into ownership by way of adverse possession. It was<\/p>\n<p>denied that Sheo Lal was ever a tenant under Nand Kishore. It was also<\/p>\n<p>denied that the defendants had colluded with Nand Kishore and Halqa<\/p>\n<p>Patwari and got entries in the revenue record. It was also alleged that<\/p>\n<p>there was entry of defendant No.2 in the khasra girdawari for the year<\/p>\n<p>1984-85 and thereafter, entries in the name of the plaintiffs were got<\/p>\n<p>entered illegally which were null and void. It was also alleged that neither<\/p>\n<p>defendant No.2 nor her father Bholu was a party to the Civil Suit in which<\/p>\n<p>decree was passed on 1.10.1971. It was also denied that Girdhari had<\/p>\n<p>filed any suit for eviction against the plaintiffs and proforma defendant<\/p>\n<p>No.3. Hence, the defendants prayed for dismissal of the suit.<\/p>\n<p>4.            After hearing learned counsel for the parties, the trial Court<\/p>\n<p>vide its judgment and decree dated 5.9.2002 decreed the suit of the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiffs.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.            Being aggrieved, the defendants filed an appeal before the<\/p>\n<p>Lower Appellate Court. It is also relevant to mention here that during the<\/p>\n<p>pendency of the appeal an application for amendment of the written<\/p>\n<p>statement was filed by the defendant-appellant to take the plea that the<\/p>\n<p>appellants are in possession as tenant gair marusi and they have become<\/p>\n<p>owners by way of adverse possession.         However, this application was<\/p>\n<p>dismissed. The Lower Appellate Court vide its judgment and decree dated<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> RSA No.811 of 2005(O&amp;M)                            4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>16.9.2004, while dismissing the appeal held that the appellants are not in<\/p>\n<p>possession of any part of the suit land, nor the adverse possession had<\/p>\n<p>ripened.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.            Still not satisfied with the judgment and decrees of the Courts<\/p>\n<p>below, the defendant No.2-appellant has filed the instant appeal before<\/p>\n<p>this Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>7.            I have heard learned counsel for the appellant.\n<\/p>\n<p>8.            The claim of the appellant is that earlier Bholu was         in<\/p>\n<p>possession of the land measuring 10 bighas 14 biswas and after his death,<\/p>\n<p>the defendant-appellant came into forcible possession and thereafter her<\/p>\n<p>possession had ripened into ownership by way of adverse possession. In<\/p>\n<p>support of her case she has placed reliance on khasra girdawari EX.D2<\/p>\n<p>from 1.10.1959 to 2.3.1963, Ex.D3 from 14.10.1963 to 6.3.1967, Ex.D4<\/p>\n<p>from 7.10.1967 to 12.3.1970, Ex.PX\/5 for the year 1994-95 and jamabandi<\/p>\n<p>PX\/14 for the year 1989-90.        On the basis of these documents, the<\/p>\n<p>appellant wanted to establish that Bolu, her father had been shown in<\/p>\n<p>possession of the above said land. The arguments of the appellant that<\/p>\n<p>Bholu has been shown in possession of the suit land cannot be accepted in<\/p>\n<p>view of the entries in the revenue record because in these documents,<\/p>\n<p>Girdhari Lal, the father of Nand Kishore had been shown as owner of the<\/p>\n<p>suit land i.e land in dispute measuring 10 bighas 14 biswas whereas Sheo<\/p>\n<p>Lal has been shown as tenant under Girdhari Lal and others and Bholu the<\/p>\n<p>father of the defendant-appellant has been shown as sub-tenant under<\/p>\n<p>Sheo Lal.\n<\/p>\n<p>9.            On the other hand, in the revenue record Exs.D5 to D7 Nand<\/p>\n<p>Kishore is shown as owner of the land measuring 10 bighas 14 biswas<\/p>\n<p>while Girdhari Lal has been shown as tenant without payment of any rent.<\/p>\n<p>In these documents, Sheo Lal has been shown as tenant and Bholu has<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> RSA No.811 of 2005(O&amp;M)                           5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>been shown as sub-tenant. The argument of the learned counsel for the<\/p>\n<p>appellant that Bholu has been shown as tenant over the suit land cannot<\/p>\n<p>be accepted in view of the entries mentioned in the jamabandies and<\/p>\n<p>khasra girdawaries. Moreover, these documents cannot be looked into<\/p>\n<p>because they are beyond pleadings of the defendants. It is also relevant to<\/p>\n<p>mention that Nand Kishore had filed an ejectment application which was<\/p>\n<p>decided on 19.12.1982 (Ex.DW2\/A) titled as <a href=\"\/doc\/1869234\/\">Nand Kishore v. Girdhari Lal<\/a><\/p>\n<p>etc. In this application, it is mentioned that Sheo Lal was a tenant while<\/p>\n<p>Bholu was sub-tenant. Siri Ram-defendant filed an application Ex.PW3\/A<\/p>\n<p>in which he mentioned that since Bholu had expired, he should be<\/p>\n<p>impleaded as party in place of Bholu. The written statement of Sheo Lal<\/p>\n<p>and Bholu is mark DA on record of the ejectment application in which it has<\/p>\n<p>been admitted that Sheo Lal was in possession of the land in dispute as<\/p>\n<p>tenant gair marusi. It is also mentioned in this written statement that Bholu<\/p>\n<p>was brother of Sheo Lal and Bholu used to help Sheo Lal in cultivating the<\/p>\n<p>suit land. Thus, there is a clear admission on the part of Bholu Ram and<\/p>\n<p>Siri Ram himself has admitted that Sheo Lal was in possession of the suit<\/p>\n<p>land. Then after his death entering into possession by his daughter does<\/p>\n<p>not arise at all. The said application of Siri Ram was dismissed. The Lower<\/p>\n<p>Appellate Court has also recorded a finding of fact that in Civil Suit titled<\/p>\n<p>Suresh Chand etc. v. Sohan Lal, the copy of which is Ex.PX\/6, the suit of<\/p>\n<p>the plaintiff was dismissed vide judgment and decree dated 1.10.1971<\/p>\n<p>declaring Sheo Lal as exclusive tenant over the whole suit land and holding<\/p>\n<p>that Girdhari Lal has no concern with respect to the possession and<\/p>\n<p>tenancy of the said land. Thus, from a bare perusal of plaint Ex.PW2\/A,<\/p>\n<p>written statement mark DA and judgement Ex.PX\/6, it is apparently<\/p>\n<p>established that only Sheo Lal was tenant of whole suit land measuring 21<\/p>\n<p>bighas 17 biswas since 1940 and Girdhari Lal          and Bholu had got no<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> RSA No.811 of 2005(O&amp;M)                          6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>concern with it either as tenant or otherwise. Another fact has also been<\/p>\n<p>proved on record that vide judgment and decree dated 27.4.1987 Ex.PX\/1<\/p>\n<p>passed in Civil Suit No.442 of 1981, the plaintiff was again declared as an<\/p>\n<p>exclusive tenant of the whole suit land and restraining owner and Girdhari<\/p>\n<p>Lal not to interfere in possession. Thereafter, the appeal filed against the<\/p>\n<p>said judgment was dismissed vide judgment Ex.PX\/2 on 13.11.1991<\/p>\n<p>holding that the plaintiffs and proforma respondent No.3 in the suit were<\/p>\n<p>direct tenant under Nand Kishore. The objection of the learned counsel for<\/p>\n<p>the appellant that the document mark DA, is not admissible into evidence is<\/p>\n<p>without any substance as the written statement mark DA was tendered by<\/p>\n<p>the defendants themselves in their evidence treating it as genuine and duly<\/p>\n<p>executed documents. Thus, they cannot raise an objection with respect to<\/p>\n<p>the admissibility of this document. Moreover, this document is 30 years old<\/p>\n<p>document and has come from the Court record and has been produced by<\/p>\n<p>the appellant i.e daughter of one of the executants Bholu and the same is<\/p>\n<p>admissible as per Section 90 of Indian evidence Act.<\/p>\n<p>10.         The objection regarding that all the judgments mentioned<\/p>\n<p>above, neither Bholu nor the defendant-appellant were party        in these<\/p>\n<p>judgments and they do not bind them.        This objection of the learned<\/p>\n<p>counsel for the defendant-appellant is also not acceptable. Bholu himself<\/p>\n<p>admitted in para No.16 of his written statement mark DA that judgment<\/p>\n<p>dated 1.10.1971 Ex.PX\/6 was final between the parties including Bholu.<\/p>\n<p>So, Bholu himself and defendant Smt. Chandro being his daughter has<\/p>\n<p>claimed right through him are also bound by it. Further, all other judgments<\/p>\n<p>mentioned above have been passed upon judgement dated 1.10.1971<\/p>\n<p>Ex.PX\/6, so these documents are also binding upon them as it has been<\/p>\n<p>so held in <a href=\"\/doc\/1880790\/\">Tirumala Tirupati Dvasthanams v. K.M.Krishnaiah<\/a> 1998(1)<\/p>\n<p>SLJ 932(S.C.). It is observed that even judgment between their party is<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> RSA No.811 of 2005(O&amp;M)                          7<\/span><\/p>\n<p>admissible under Section 13 of Indian Evidence Act.<\/p>\n<p>11.         The plea of adverse possession to defendant No.2 is also not<\/p>\n<p>available because the possession for a period of 12 years could not be<\/p>\n<p>estalished. Ex.D8 and Ex.D9 reveals that the possession of the appellant<\/p>\n<p>Smt. Chandro has been shown from 1980-85 i.e. only five years and that<\/p>\n<p>too as sub-tenant under plaintiff-respondents.        So, the question of<\/p>\n<p>declaring her as owner on account of adverse possession does not arise.<\/p>\n<p>The authority cited by the learned counsel for the defendants i.e. Asa<\/p>\n<p>Singh and another v. Mansha Ram another AIR 1930 Lahore 237 is not<\/p>\n<p>applicable to the facts of the present case because the facts of the present<\/p>\n<p>case are totally different.   So, this ruling does not help the defendant-<\/p>\n<p>appellant in any manner. Therefore, defendants No.1 and 2 are not in<\/p>\n<p>possession of any part of the suit land i.e land in dispute measuring10<\/p>\n<p>bighas 14 biswas nor the adverse possession of the appellant had ripened<\/p>\n<p>into ownership.\n<\/p>\n<p>12.         Thus, no fault can be found with the findings of fact recorded<\/p>\n<p>by the Courts below. No substantial question of law arises in the present<\/p>\n<p>appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p>13.         No merit.
