contended by the plaintiff that in the sale deed in his favour, the survey number of the suit property was wrongly mentioned as 27/N instead of 27/Z. Subsequently, Zamin Abolition Act came into force and the plaintiff applied for issue of Ryotwari Patta under the said Act. The Commissioner of Land Administration passed an order, rejecting the claim of the plaintiff on 27.03.1992. It was further contended by the plaintiff that when his claim was pending before the settlement authorities, the Forest Department initiated proceedings to notify the area, including the suit property, as a forest area and since the notification was issued when the settlement proceeding was pending, the same was invalid. It was also contended that the Revenue Department issued B-Memos to the plaintiff and he has been paying tax to the total extent of 17 acres of the suit property. Thus, claiming that the plaintiff and his predecessors have been in continuous possession and enjoyment of the suit schedule property, the plaintiff sought for declaration of title and other reliefs.
