LEGAL REPRESENTATIVES OF JASRAJ Vs. DHINGARMAL

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS revision petition has been filed against the order of the Munsiff, Siwana dated November 24, 1988 by which he has held that the "patta" granted by the Gram Panchayat is compulsorily registrable and may be read in evidence for collateral purpose only. The facts of the case giving rise to this revision petition may be summarised thus,

(2.) THE plaintiff-non-petitioner filed a suit for injunction and demolition of the construction raised by the defendant-petitioner on the disputed land in respect of which a 'patta' was granted to him by the Gram Panchayat, Siwana. In support of his case, the defendant-petitioner filed the 'patta' granted to him and wanted to get if exhibited. THE plaintiff-non-petitioner raised an objection that the 'patta' was granted for over Rs. 100/-, it was compulsorily registrable and as such it cannot be exhibited as it is not registered under the Registration Act. After hearing the arguments of the learned counsel for the parties, the learned Munsif passed the impugned order.

(3.) CONSEQUENTLY, the revision petition is allowed and the order of the learned Munsiff, Siwana dated November 24,1988 is set aside. .
