RAMANAND Vs. BOARD OF REVENUE AND ORS.

JUDGEMENT

(1.) PLOT No. 66 area three and half Bigha situate in village Jaddupur, was recorded in village papers as parti land. The Land Management Committee of the village Dehaini executed a lease for the land on 6 -6 -1962 in favour of the Respondent Ghani.

(2.) THE Petitioner filed objection Under Section 198(2) of the UP ZA and LR Act praying for the cancellation of the lease on the ground that the land in dispute was for the public utility and the lease, granted by the Land Management Committee, was illegal. The Sub -Divisional Officer allowed the parties to lead the evidence and after hearing them he reached the conclusion that there was no valid publication before the lease was given; that the land was for public utility; that the Respondent was not a resident in that circle and as such was not competent to obtain its lease. Accordingly he passed an order cancelling the lease.
