UDHAM KAUR Vs. STATE OF PUNJAB

He further submitted that the entries had in fact been corrected in the year 1988-89.

This Court would not be justified in interfering with the concurrent findings of fact recorded by the courts below. This view of mine finds support from the judgment of the supreme Court in the case of Veerayee Ammal v. Seeni Ammal, AIR 2001 Supreme Court 2920 : 2001(4) RCR(Civil) 625 (SC).
