GHISALAL Vs. JIWANMAL

JUDGEMENT

(1.) A similar point is involved in all these six appeals. Hence they will be disposed of by this judgment.

(2.) THE appellants have been holding government lands for some generations. When in the 1936 Settlement their holdings were assessed, they raised an objection that they were entitled to continue at the old rates of rent which according to them were in perpetuity. In some cases Pattas were produced in support of this contention. THE appellants objected to the assessment of the full village rates upon their holdings. THEse objections though started some time in 1939, could not be decided till the formation of the State of Rajasthan. Eventually all these cases came up before the Settlement Officer, Jaipur (Rajasthan) who relying on a decision of the Board in case No. 59/jaipur, Svt. 2009 (Ramopal Mahajan vs. State) held that the claims of the appellants were untenable. THE appellants went up in appeal before the Addi-tonal Settlement Commissioner, but met with no success. Hence this second appeal.
