BHANKER Vs. STATE OF RAJASTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS case arises out of an unfortunate incident which took place in village Asan Jilelav on August 21, 1988 wherein it is said that the houses of Devendranath, Nathu Rawal, Nanunath, Kalunath and his brothers Sukhnath, Salunath, Shamuaath and his brothers and Bhanwarnath with their domestic goods were burnt and further standing crops on the fields of 10 members of Nath community were also burnt.

(2.) THE origin of the dispute appears to be that one Harjinath, who is a police inspector, had purchased about two bighas land bearing khasra No. 215 from dewan of Sukha Rawat. Puna Rawal was aggrieved by this sale because he claimed to be the Mahant of the Asan. Attempt was made by Puna Rawal to regain this agricultural land whereupon Harji Nath lodged a report in the police with regard to causing damage to his crop.
