Umda Singh had two other sons namely Bhor Singh and Ganga Singh. The plaintiffs were owners of the land in dispute and were residing in Village Amarpura Khurd, Tehsil Buwana, District Jhunjhunu (Rajasthan). They used to visit Village Karnoli for taking care of their land. The land in dispute was given for cultivation to others on Theka Batai and last time, predecessors of the plaintiffs had given the land in dispute on Theka to Atma Ram son of Khyali Ram of Village Karnoli, but the defendants in connivance with the revenue officials and Atma Ram, got their names incorporated in the revenue records in the cultivation column and came in possession of the land in dispute. Bhoor Singh, Ganga Singh and Panna Singh had already expired. To get the land in dispute mutated in their names and to recover the payment of Theka, plaintiff no.2 visited Village Karnoli and thus, came to know that the defendants had unauthorizedly possessed the land in dispute. Despite repeated requests, the defendants refused to vacate the land in dispute. Hence, necessity arose to file the instant suit.
