(2.) The facts of the case are that the petitioners are proprietors of village Shahpur, Tehsil Naraingarh, District Ambala. They were the share holders as well as the cultivators of the land shown as Mustarka Malkan in the village. Consolidation proceedings had taken place in 1957. During consolidation pro-rata cut was applied and the land was shown as Bachat land and the ownership by way of mutation was transferred in favour of Gram Panchayat. The said mutation has been challenged by filing the writ petition. Respondents No. 2 to 4 in the written statement admitted that at the time of consolidation, Mustarka Malkan Khewat was constituted by deducting the land of proprietors. Respondent-Gram Panchayat has also filed the written statement. Although it was pleaded that the land was left for the common purpose of the residents of the village, but no such purpose is discernible from the jamabandi.
