DHANSINGH Vs. PRATAB BAI

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS is an appeal against the order dated 6.8.51 passed by the Additional Commissioner, Kotah Division.

(2.) THE facts of the case in brief are that the respondent holds some land on chouth batia right i. e. to say on favoured assessment in village Jakhmound in Tehsil Taled. She applied to Collector, Bundi for sanctioning the adoption of Mod Singh as her son and also transferring this land in his name. THE Collector rejected this request on the ground that sanction of adoption in the case of chauth batia was not essential, and the other request for mutation was against the provisions of sec. 87 of the Bundi Tenancy Act. Being displeased with this she preferred an appeal to commissioner, Kotah. THE Additional Commissioner who heard this appeal, accepted her request for mutation of the land in favour of Mod Singh. THE appellant claiming to be the nearest relation of the 1st full owner of this land Bhawani Singh and consequently a reversioner, being displeased with this order has preferred this second appeal.
