The present petitioners cannot claim that they had at any time made them exclusively cultivable for their benefit, and, to the deprivation of the other members of the village proprietary body. Prior to the holding of the consolidations operations, the lands were used for the common purpose of the entire village community, and, thereby were kept intact in the very same manner, resulting in a valid mutation of ownership becoming attested qua the Gram Panchayat concerned, vis-a-vis, the disputed lands. Petition dismissed. - HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURESHWAR THAKUR AND HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE LALIT BATRA Mr. M.L.

ANALYSIS OF THE SUBMISSIONS OF THE LEARNED COUNSEL FOR THE PETITIONS AND THE REASONS FOR REJECTING THE SAME THEREBYS DISMISSING THE WRIT PETITION 7. Though in the column of ownership and in the column of cultivation the suit lands in the jamabandis (supra), do become spoken to become owned and cultivated respectively by Shamlat Deh Hasab, Hissa, Malkiyat and, and, by Makbooja Malkan, but significance is also assumed by the descriptions qua the disputed lands becoming made in the classification column, as carried in the jamabandis (supra), whereins, they become categorized to be Gairmumkin Pahar, Bhur, Tilla, Banjar Kadim. Therefore, prima facie the above classification assigned to the disputed lands, thus in the classification column of the jamabandis (supra), does make the suit lands to be uncultivable. 8. However, much strength is attempted to be derived by the learned counsel for the petitioners, from an entry occurring in the ownership of the jamabandi (sup .....

If the learned counsel for the petitioners intended to denude the vigor of the references (supra), as made vis-a-vis the disputed lands, thus in the Sharat Wajib ul Arz, thereby it was but incumbent, upon the petitioners to adduce clinching discharging evidence, on the relevant issues, especially when they had espoused the making of a declaratory decree vis-a-vis them, on the eviction petition cast under Section 7 of The Punjab Village Common Lands (Regulation) Act, 1961, rather becoming converting into a title suit. However, it does not surface from a reading of Annexure P-11, which became reversed through the impugned orders, that the said evidence discharging onus, became adequately discharged, thus to bely the references (supra), as made in the Sharat Wajib ul Arz, nor the best rebuttal thereto evidence rather becomes adduced. Therefore, for non-adduction of the above evidence, to bely the presumption of truth attaching to the Sharat Wajib ul Arz, but naturally bolsters an .....

To claim conferment of right, title and interest over the suit lands, cogent evidence was required to surface. The said cogent evidence become comprised in the adduction into evidence of Khasra Girdawaris relating to the disputed lands, whereins, but to the exclusivity of the other members of the village proprietary body, rather the petitioners were making utilizations of the disputed lands, and, that too prior to 1950. Nonetheless the above evidence also remained unadduced. The absence of adduction of the above evidence also lends strength to the above inference, whereby this Court has negated the challenge made to the impugned annexures by the learned counsel for the petitioners. 17. Be that as it may, the classification (supra), as, assigned to the disputed lands in the apposite classification column, thus also prima facie makes the di .....

However, reiteratedly when the above evidence remained unadduced, thereby for non adduction of the above evidence, a conclusion becomes aroused, that the petitioners claim for exclusivity of conferment of right, title and interest over the disputed lands, is but a completely mis-founded claim thereovers. 22. Now assuming that from the legitimate holdings of the present petitioners over the disputed lands, thus the Consolidation Officer concerned, made pro rata cuts whereafter he reserved them as Bachat Lands, thus maybe therebys an enablement became created in the petitioners, to seek re-partition and re-allotments thereofs to them. However, yet there was a necessity of firm evidence becoming adduced by the present petitioners, but magnificatory that in the pre consolidation era, they were holding independent cultivating possession of the disputed lands, and, that in terms of the savings clause (supra), to the definition of Shamlat Deh, they became enti .....
