(1.) IN this writ petition under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India, the challenge is against the judgment in Revision Case Nos. 1809, 1810, and 1811 of 1983 dated 25.6.1988 (Annexure -6.) passed by respondent No. 1 under Sec.35 of the Bihar Consolidations of Holdings and Prevention of Fragmentation Act, 1956 (In short "the 1956 Act"), whereby the decisions of the Consolidation Officer and that of the Deputy Director, Consolidation, in favour of the petitioners came to be reversed, inter alia, contending that it is contrary to law and is rendered without examining material documentary evidence which is countered by the learned Counsel for the respondents.
