DEVILAL Vs. TEHSIL PANCHAYAT PADAMPUR

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THESE are two connected applications by Devilal (No. 138) and Surjaram (No. 132) against the orders of the Tehsil Panchayat, Padampur. We propose to take them together because the main points raised in them are common.

(2.) THE facts of these cases are briefly these. Surjaram applied for purchasing Khasra No. 274 for building a house in village Farsewala before the Gram Panchayat Binjwaila. Similary, Devilal applied for purchasing plots Nos. 248 and 249 in the same village for building a house before the Gram Panchayat. THE Panchayat ordered plot No. 274 to be sold to Surjaram and plots Nos. 248 and 249 to be sold to Devilal. Is seems that Hazura Singh (in case No. 138) had also applied for one of the two plots. He, therefore, appealed to the Tehsil Panchayat, Padampur under whose jurisdiction Gram Panchayat, Binjwaila is. THE Tehsil; Panchayat partly allowed the appeal and ordered that Khasra No. 248 be sold to Hazura Singh. THE sale of Khasra No. 249 in favour of Devilal remained undisturbed. In case No. 139, Sukhram also apparently wanted plot No. 274. He, therefore, appealed to the Tehsil Panchayat Padampur and the Panchayat set aside the sale in favour of Surjaram and ordered the sale of plot No. 274 to Sukhram.
