The Civil Appeal No. 28 of 1979 was allowed on 7.12.1979 and the suit was dismissed.

(2.) BRIEF facts as set out in the plaint are that the plaintiff claimed to be the owner of the house situated on the land shown in the plaint map by the letters 'ABCD'. The house had fallen to ruins. When the plaintiff started making construction, after demolishing the wall towards the north-west portion of the land, and started constructing the house, the defendants raised objections. The defendant and his brothers demolished the constructions on 14.11.1976, made the opening in the wall to pass through, and interfered in the possession of the plaintiff over the land. The defendants had an opening of their house towards the road situate in the east of their house and have no concern and right to open the door and pass through the plaintiffs' land.

THE receipt (Paper No. 29C) filed by the plaintiff to prove that he had taken the land from the zamindar's son does not disclose the plaintiff's father name. Paper No. 27C, copy o'f the khatauni, shows the plaintiff's father's name as Jog Singh son of Sri Kishan Singh, whereas in Paper No. 29C plaintiff's father name is mentioned as Jog Singh son of Sri Kasturi Singh. Further Paper No. 29C is not a patta but only receipt of Rs. 1.25. THE Court Commissioner did not find any sign of ruins of the house or any old foundation.
