One Todar Mal had three sons-Lekhi Ram, Attar Singh and<br \/>\nMurari\tLal.  Lekhi Ram died in 1953.  He had no  sons.\t  He<br \/>\nleft behind his wife Anandi Devi and a daughter Shanti Devi.<br \/>\nIn the year 1943, Lekhi Ram and Attar Singh (who too did not<br \/>\nhave  any  sons) executed a will in respect of\ttheir  joint<br \/>\nfamily\tproperties in favour of Murari Lal.  Disputes  arose<br \/>\nbetween\t Anandi Devi and Murari Lal soon after the death  of<br \/>\nLekhi Ram in 1953.  While the dispute was pending before the<br \/>\nPanchayat Adalat Niwadi, District Meerut (in Case Nos.\t31\/1<br \/>\nand 31\/2 of 1983) a settlement was arrived at between Anandi<br \/>\nDevi  and Murari Lal, which was reduced to writing on  18-7-<br \/>\n1953   and   filed  before  the\t  Panchayat   Adalat.\t The<br \/>\nmemo\/application filed by the parties reads as follows:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\t      &#8220;In the above case, we, both the parties\thave<br \/>\n\t      made  mutual  compromise.\t Both  parties\twill<br \/>\n\t      abide by it and hence would have no objection.<br \/>\n\t      The decision is as under:\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\t      The property assigned to Smt Anandi :   3258\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t&#8212;-\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2111\/2<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">\t       309<\/span>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\t       &#8212;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\t       31\/8 Khewat\/100<br \/>\n\t      Khewat 97 3361\t 3362 Khewat 26\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\t\t\t&#8212;-\t &#8212;-\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\t\t\t8111\/8\t 911<br \/>\n\t       643  668 742 812 2734 292782 2924\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\t       &#8212;  &#8212; &#8212; &#8212; &#8212;- &#8212;&#8212; &#8212;-\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\t       111\/1 1\/1 1\/ 1\/\t111\/ 111\/     1\/<br \/>\n\t      Khewat  No.  48 solely belongs to\t Smt  Anandi<br \/>\n\t      which  Lekhi  Ram purchased by sale  deed\t and<br \/>\n\t      Anandi has right upon them.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\t      Out  of  ancestral Khewat No.  107  which\t was<br \/>\n\t      willed by Lekhi Ram in favour of Murari Lal, 4<br \/>\n\t      numbers  were given to Anandi by\tMurari\tLal.<br \/>\n\t      The  one\tKhata  whose  boundaries  as   under<br \/>\n\t      176\/111\/1 3022\/1\/1 306\/2\/4 1008\/11 Khewat\t 107<br \/>\n\t      boundaries bazar in the East, in West with Ch.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">\t      341<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\t      Jaghir  Singh  and  Bishambar  in\t the   North<br \/>\n\t      courtyard\t and  pathway  South  ahata  Chandra<br \/>\n\t      Swarup and Khewat 72 was obtained by Lekhi Ram<br \/>\n\t      by sale deed.

By\t an  order  dated  14-9-1953  the  Panchayat  Adalat<br \/>\ndisposed  of  the  aforesaid  cases in\tterms  of  the\tsaid<br \/>\ncompromise.  The order of the Panchayat Adalat reads thus:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\t      &#8220;After  his  death a dispute arose  about\t the<br \/>\n\t      property\tof Lekhi Ram son of Todar Mal.\t One<br \/>\n\t      application was filed for transfer Entry\t31\/1<br \/>\n\t      by Smt Anandi, widow of Lekhi Ram.  The  other<br \/>\n\t      application  31\/2 was filed in 1953 by  Murari<br \/>\n\t      Lal,  brother of Lekhi Ram.  Both the  parties<br \/>\n\t      describe\tthemselves  as heirs of\t Lekhi\tRam.<br \/>\n\t      File  has\t been  prepared\t but  parties\thave<br \/>\n\t      reached a compromise which is decreed.  Murari<br \/>\n\t      Lal has filed a will dated 20-11-1943 which is<br \/>\n\t      a\t registered  will  of Lekhi  Ram  and  Attar<br \/>\n\t      Singh.   A perusal of will shows the share  of<br \/>\n\t      late Lekhi Ram in Khewat Nos. 93 and 97,\t107,<br \/>\n\t      143, and 16, 128, 247, 125, 126 and the house.<br \/>\n\t      These were acquired by Murari Lal after demise<br \/>\n\t      of   Lekhi   Ram.\t  Besides  this\t  there\t  is<br \/>\n\t      residential  and agricultural landed  property<br \/>\n\t      of  Lekhi Ram which is self-acquired which  is<br \/>\n\t      apart   from  the\t will  and  Anandi  is\t the<br \/>\n\t      permanent owner of these properties.  They are<br \/>\n\t      now  relatives  and  they\t do  not  have\t any<br \/>\n\t      litigation  in future.  Therefore\t Murari\t Lal<br \/>\n\t      who  is owner of 176\/111\/4,  3022\/19,  306\/2\/4<br \/>\n\t      and  1008\/9, Khewat 107 and the house  bounded<br \/>\n\t      by  bazar in East, house of Raghubir Singh  in<br \/>\n\t      the  West,  courtyard and public\tway  in\t the<br \/>\n\t      North  and ahata Chandra Swarup in  the  South<br \/>\n\t      has given the same to Smt Anandi.\t Smt  Anandi<br \/>\n\t      has no connection with the remaining  property<br \/>\n\t      willed by Lekhi Ram by deed dated\t 20-11-1943.<br \/>\n\t      Murari Lal has no claim over the self-acquired<br \/>\n\t      property of Lekhi Ram which is not part of the<br \/>\n\t      will.   The parties have taken  possession  of<br \/>\n\t      their  shares by compromise.   Therefore\tboth<br \/>\n\t      the applications are decided with the  consent<br \/>\n\t      of the parties.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\t\t\t\t\t\tSd\/-\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\t\t\t\t       Seal Adalat Panchayat<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t    Chiranji Lal Sarpanch.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>4.  On\t5-4-1954  Anandi Devi executed a  deed\tof  gift  in<br \/>\nrespect\t of her properties in favour of the  appellants\t who<br \/>\nare the sons of her daughter Shanti Devi.  The execution  of<br \/>\nthis  gift  deed gave rise to a fresh  round  of  litigation<br \/>\nbetween\t Murari\t Lal  on one side and Anandi  Devi  and\t her<br \/>\ngrandsons  (appellants herein) on the other.   This  dispute<br \/>\ncame to be disposed of by an<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">342<\/span><br \/>\norder  dated 1 8-1-1957 passed by the Additional  Collector,<br \/>\nMeerut.\t  It  was  an appeal  preferred\t by  the  appellants<br \/>\nagainst\t the  orders of Tehsildar and  Assistant  Collector,<br \/>\nGhaziabad  directing that Anandi Devi should be recorded  as<br \/>\nan  &#8216;asami&#8217; during her lifetime.  The contention  of  Murari<br \/>\nLal  was that Anandi Devi had only a life  interest  whereas<br \/>\nthe case of tile appellants and Anandi Devi was that she had<br \/>\nall  absolute  title  to tile properties  mentioned  in\t the<br \/>\naforesaid  memo\t of compromise.\t  The  Additional  Collector<br \/>\ndecided that the said question shall be left open for  being<br \/>\nagitated  after\t the death of Anandi Devi  to  which  course<br \/>\ncounsel\t for  both  the\t parties  agreed.   The\t  concluding<br \/>\nparagraph  of  the  Additional Collector&#8217;s  order  reads  as<br \/>\nfollows:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\t      &#8220;The result is that in view of my finding, the<br \/>\n\t      above appeal is allowed and Tehsildar&#8217;s  order<br \/>\n\t      is  set aside.  The &#8216;Tehsildar is directed  to<br \/>\n\t      enter  the names of Rajeshwar and\t Brijeshwar-<br \/>\n\t      appellants on the disputed plots including the<br \/>\n\t      three plots as corrected as bhumidhar in place<br \/>\n\t      of  Smt  Anandi Devi for\ther  lifetime.\t The<br \/>\n\t      question\tof mutation after her lifetime\twill<br \/>\n\t      remain open for reconsideration.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>5.   In the year 1968, a notification was issued Linder\t the<br \/>\nprovisions  of the U.P. Consolidation of Holdings Act,\t1953<br \/>\nin  respect of the said village.  Certain  proceedings\ttook<br \/>\nplace between Anandi Devi and Murari Lal Linder the said Act<br \/>\nbut these disputes, it appears, related to only some of\t the<br \/>\nlands.\t Murari&#8217;s case was that the name of Anandi Devi\t was<br \/>\nwrongly\t recorded in respect of certain of his lands,  which<br \/>\nhe  wanted to be rectified.  In these proceedings copies  of<br \/>\ncompromise  memo, judgment of the Panchayat Adalat  and\t the<br \/>\nwill  executed\tby Lekhi Ram and Attar Singh  in  favour  of<br \/>\nMurari\tLal  (1943) were filed.\t The  Consolidation  Officer<br \/>\ndirected that the entries should be made in accordance\twith<br \/>\nthe  terms of the compromise memo and that ally\t entries  to<br \/>\nthe contrary should be rectified.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.   Anandi Devi died in the year 1980.\t Murari Lal  applied<br \/>\nto  the Tehsildar to mutate the lands in the name of  Anandi<br \/>\nDevi  in his name on the basis that Anandi Devi had  only  a<br \/>\nlife interest in those lands.  The Tehsildar directed Murari<br \/>\nLal to obtain a declaration in a regular suit.\t Accordingly<br \/>\nMurari\tLal  filed  the\t suit  (out  of\t which\tthe  present<br \/>\nproceedings arise) under Section 229-B of the U.P. Zamindari<br \/>\nAbolition  and Lands Reforms Act.  The appellants  contested<br \/>\nthe   same  and\t raised\t a  preliminary\t objection  to\t the<br \/>\nmaintainability\t of the suit.  The Revenue Court framed\t two<br \/>\npreliminary issues on the basis of the said objections.\t The<br \/>\ntwo &#8216;issues are:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\t      &#8220;Issue 1. Whether the suit is maintainable  in<br \/>\n\t      view of the change of<br \/>\n\t      identify\t of   the  land\t in  suit   due\t  to<br \/>\n\t      consolidation proceedings?<br \/>\n\t      Issue 2. Whether the Suit Is barred by Section<br \/>\n\t      49 of the U.PC.H.Act.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>7.   The  trial\t court\tdecided\t the  issues  against\ttile<br \/>\nplaintiff Murari Lal.  Accordingly, he dismissed the suit on<br \/>\n23-8-1982.  An appeal preferred by Murari Lal was  dismissed<br \/>\nby  the\t Commissioner,\tMeerut on  14-11-1982.\t Murari\t Lal<br \/>\ncarried the matter in second appeal to the Board of Revenue<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">343<\/span><br \/>\nwhich allowed it.  The Board of Revenue held the suit to  be<br \/>\nmaintainable  and  accordingly remitted the  matter  to\t the<br \/>\ntrial  court  to try the suit on merits.  The order  of\t the<br \/>\nBoard  of  Revenue was questioned by the appellants  in\t the<br \/>\nAllahabad  High\t Court in Writ Petition No.  12678  of\t1985<br \/>\nwhich  has been dismissed by the learned Single Judge  under<br \/>\nthe impugned order.\n<\/p>\n<p>8.   Shri   Sanyal,  learned  counsel  for  the\t  appellants<br \/>\nsubmitted that the memo of compromise dated 13-7-1953  makes<br \/>\nit clear that so far as the separate properties of Lekhi Ram<br \/>\nwere  concerned,  they\twere admitted to  be  the  exclusive<br \/>\nproperty  of  Anandi  Devi and so far as  the  joint  family<br \/>\nproperties  of Lekhi Ram, which were willed away by  him  to<br \/>\nMurari Lal are concerned, Murari Lal gave four plots out  of<br \/>\nthem  to  Anandi  Devi absolutely.  Thus,  says\t the  teamed<br \/>\ncounsel,  all  the properties in possession of\tAnandi\tDevi<br \/>\nwere her absolute properties which passed to the  appellants<br \/>\nunder  the  deed of gift executed by  her.   He,  therefore,<br \/>\nsubmitted  that\t the  High Court as well  as  the  Board  of<br \/>\nRevenue\t were  in  error in holding that  according  to\t the<br \/>\naforesaid   memo  of  compromise  or  the  orders   of\t the<br \/>\nauthorities  passed thereafter, Anandi Devi had only a\tlife<br \/>\ninterest  in the said properties.  The learned\tcounsel\t for<br \/>\nthe respondent Murari Lal, however, supported the  reasoning<br \/>\nand conclusion of the Board of Revenue and the High Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>9. The memo of compromise is really in two paragraphs.\t The<br \/>\nfirst paragraph deals with the separate properties of  Lekhi<br \/>\nRam.   It recites that the properties mentioned in the\tsaid<br \/>\npara, which were purchased by Lekhi Ram under sale deed, are<br \/>\nthe properties of Smt Anandi Devi &#8216;solely&#8217; and that she\t has<br \/>\nright  upon them.  The second para deals with what it  calls<br \/>\nthe  ancestral properties of Lekhi Ram which were willed  in<br \/>\nfavour\tof  Murari Lal.\t Out of these lands,  four  numbers,<br \/>\nspecified  in  the  said para were given by  Murari  Lal  to<br \/>\nAnandi\tDevi.  (They are- 1765\/111\/1, 3022\/1\/1,\t 306\/2\/4,  1<br \/>\n008\/1 1 and a house.) The learned counsel for the appellants<br \/>\nis probably right in pointing out that there are no words in<br \/>\nthis  compromise  memo to the effect that  the\tinterest  of<br \/>\nAnandi\tDevi  shall only be a life interest.   In  fact\t any<br \/>\nambiguity in the language of this compromise memo, says\t the<br \/>\ncounsel, is cleared by the judgment of the Panchayat  Adalat<br \/>\ndated  14-9-1953.   The\t order states  that  Lekhi  Ram\t had<br \/>\ncertain self-acquired properties of his own, of which Anandi<br \/>\nDevi  shall  be the permanent owner.  The  judgment  further<br \/>\nrecords that out of the lands willed by Lekhi Ram in  favour<br \/>\nof Murari Lal, four items of land and a house (boundaries of<br \/>\nwhich were given in the order) have been given to Smt Anandi<br \/>\nDevi  and that the latter shall have no connection with\t the<br \/>\nremaining  properties  willed  by Lekhi\t Ram  and  similarly<br \/>\nMurari\tLal  shall  have no  claim  over  the  self-acquired<br \/>\nproperties  of Lekhi Ram, which were not the  subject-matter<br \/>\nof the will.  The judgment undoubtedly records that  parties<br \/>\nhave   taken  possession  of  their  respective\t shares\t  in<br \/>\naccordance with the compromise between them.  But these\t are<br \/>\nthe merits of the dispute which are yet to be gone into.\n<\/p>\n<p>10.  So\t far  as the order of Additional  Collector,  Meerut<br \/>\ndated  IS-  1  &#8211; 1951 is concerned, it\tkeeps  the  question<br \/>\nconcerning the nature of Anandi Devi&#8217;s<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">344<\/span><br \/>\ninterest  open.\t  The  order expressly says  that  the\tsaid<br \/>\nquestion  can  be agitated after the death of  Anandi  Devi.<br \/>\nInsofar\t as  the  order\t of  the  Consolidation\t Officer  is<br \/>\nconcerned  it  is  evident that it does not  deal  with\t the<br \/>\nnature\tand  character\tof Anandi&#8217;s  interest  in  the\tsaid<br \/>\nproperties.   Anandi  Devi was alive at that  time  and\t the<br \/>\ndispute\t as to the nature of her interest was to  be  raised<br \/>\nonly  after her lifetime as per the order of the  Additional<br \/>\nCollector  referred  to above and to which course  both\t the<br \/>\nparties\t had  agreed.  Be that as it may, the order  of\t the<br \/>\nConsolidation Authority does not show that the said question<br \/>\nwas  gone into or pronounced upon by it in the\tsaid  order.<br \/>\nIt is on these facts that the questions at issue have to  be<br \/>\ndecided.   Of  the  two preliminary issues,  the  first\t one<br \/>\nraises the question whether the suit is maintainable in view<br \/>\nof  the\t change\t of  identity  of  the\tsuit  lands  due  to<br \/>\nconsolidation proceedings.  We do not think that the  change<br \/>\nof  identity  of the lands in the  course  of  consolidation<br \/>\nproceedings  has any effect upon the rights of the  parties.<br \/>\nIt would only be a case of substitution of one property\t for<br \/>\nthe other.  The title in the previous property gets attached<br \/>\nto  the substituted property.  The second issue\t raises\t the<br \/>\nquestion whether the present suit is barred by Section 49 of<br \/>\nthe U.P. Consolidation of Holdings Act.\t Section 49 reads as<br \/>\nfollows:\n<\/p>\n<p>\t      &#8220;49.     Bar    to    civil     jurisdiction.-\n<\/p>\n<p>\t      Notwithstanding  anything\t contained  in\t any<br \/>\n\t      other  law  for the time being in\t force,\t the<br \/>\n\t      declaration  and\tadjudication  of  rights  of<br \/>\n\t      tenure-holders in respect of land lying in  an<br \/>\n\t      area, for which a notification has been issued<br \/>\n\t      under   sub-section  (2)\tof  Section  4,\t  or<br \/>\n\t      adjudication  of any other rights arising\t out<br \/>\n\t      of consolidation proceedings and in regard  to<br \/>\n\t      which a proceeding could or ought to have been<br \/>\n\t      taken  under  this  Act,\tshall  be  done\t  in<br \/>\n\t      accordance with the provisions of this Act and<br \/>\n\t      no Civil or Revenue Court shall entertain\t any<br \/>\n\t      suit  or proceeding with respect to rights  in<br \/>\n\t      such land or with respect to any other matters<br \/>\n\t      for which a proceeding could or ought to\thave<br \/>\n\t      been taken under this Act.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>11.  We are of the opinion that there is no occasion for the<br \/>\nbar in Section 49 coming into play in this case, as  rightly<br \/>\npointed out by the High Court in the impugned judgment.\t  As<br \/>\npointed\t out  hereinabove,  the\t nature\t of  Anandi   Devi&#8217;s<br \/>\ninterest in the suit properties was not (sic decided  under)<br \/>\nthe  Consolidation Act.\t Only certain errors were  rectified<br \/>\nto  accord with the compromise.\t Further since\tAnandi\tDevi<br \/>\nwas alive at that time it cannot also be said that the\tsaid<br \/>\nquestion ought to have gone into in those proceedings.\t For<br \/>\nthe  above reasons it must be held that the suit  could\t not<br \/>\nhave been dismissed as not maintainable on the basis of\t the<br \/>\naforesaid  two preliminary issues.  The\t appeal\t accordingly<br \/>\nfails  and  is\tdismissed.  There shall be no  order  as  to<br \/>\ncosts.\n<\/p>\n<p>12.
