was given to Khursid Ali Khan by virtue of Hukumnama. The said fact was reflected in the maintenance register of the Tahasildar, Panposh. Khursid Ali Khan sold eastern portion of that land measuring an area of Ac.0.10 decimals to one Abdul Qadir. Abdul Qadir sold the western portion of land to Manbir Singh and Gyan Singh. He alienated the land in favour of Praveen Kumar Meheta, a minor in the year 1968. Praveen Kumar Meheta after attaining majority sold an area of Ac.0.10 decimals of land to the plaintiffs by means of a registered sale deed on 17.03.1981 and delivered possession to the vendees. The further case of the plaintiffs is that they were using the suit land for business purpose. Plaintiff no.1 was running one flour mill in the name and style of Bishnu Flour Mill. During settlement operation, the suit land was recorded in the names of the plaintiffs and accordingly R.O.R. was published jointly in their names. While matter stood thus, they shifted their business establishment to a different place for convenience. Taking advantage of the same, the defendant association, who was having its office to the adjacent north of the suit land, made an attempt to forcibly possess the suit land, wherefter they initiated a proceeding under section 144, Cr.P.C., which was registered as Crl.Misc. Case No. 911 of 1997. The said proceeding was dropped. Again the defendant made attempt to raise construction over the same.
