Rules was submitted by the Lekhpal alleging that the petitioner has encroached upon one biswa and 4 biswansis land of plot No. 144 since 1391 Fasli which was the Gaon Sabha property. Notice in Form 49-Ka was issued to the petitioner who filed his objection on 29-6-1984 inter alia, stating that prior to 1972 the land belonged to Gaon Sabha. In the year 1972 plot No. 144 was allotted to several persons including one Zulfikar son of Rahamo who had put up a hut over the said land and had remained in possession over it for more than 11 years who transferred the land and the hut to the petitioner in 1984 for Rs. 99 only. It is submitted that the petitioner also had made his hut on a part of the land said to have been allotted to Zulfikar.

(3.) AGGRIEVED by the aforesaid order, the petitioner filed a revision before the Collector, Muzaffarnagar which was dismissed vide order dated 30-7-1985. The revisional Court did not accept the contention of the petitioner that the order of the trial Court was not in accordance with law as it had failed to consider the fact that no orders were passed on the application of the petitioner regarding summoning the documents for allotment of plot No. 144 on Patta in favour Zulfikar and others. The revisional Court held that the petitioner had not filed any documents in respect of allotment of plot No. 144 in his favour or in favour of Zulfikar. If the Gaon Sabha had given Patta to Zulfikar the petitioner could have proved or established it from the records. Neither any Patta nor any sale-deed had been filed by the petitioner to prove his title or title of Zulfikar over the disputed land.
