JAGGU Vs. CHHATU SINGH

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THESE revision petitions are directed against the orders of the learned Revenue Appellate Authority, Bikaner, dated 27. 2. 65 rejecting the appeals of the petitioners against the orders of the learned Sub-Divisional Officer, Ratangarh, dated 30. 3. 64. , whereby the learned Sub-Divisional Officer had granted the application of the opposite party for compensation under Sec. 20 of the Rajasthan Tenancy Act in respect of the Khudkasht land over which the petitioners had acquired khatedari rights by the operation of Sec. 19 of the Rajasthan Tenancy Act. As these petitions arise from similar facts and turn on the same point of law, this common order will dispose of both of them.

(2.) THE main argument advanced by the learned counsel for the petitioners is that the opposite party had received compensation in respect of these lands as a Jagirdar and as he could not be the Jagirdar as well as the khatedar at the same time, he was not entitled to receive compensation from the petitioners under Sec. 20.
