¶20

of the land and after about 70-80 years, the petitioner cannot be asked to get the settlement deed from the family of the erstwhile Zamindar of Sursand Estate. All the entries are in favour of Respondent No. 4 and his predecessors in interest and the State has also supported the case of the Respondent No. 4.

¶21

It has been argued by the learned Senior Counsel appearing for the Respondent No. 5 that long standing Jamabandi of the land holder is being doubted.

¶22

The long standing Jamabandi of the Respondent No. 5 cannot be cancelled and the Respondent No. 5 cannot be declared an absconder.

¶23

It has also been submitted by the learned counsel for the State that it is a private dispute between the petitioner and Respondent No. 5 for which he is a proxy petitioner. Earlier also, this dispute had come to this Court had dismissed the same in C.W.J.C. No. 10729 of 1999 vide order dated 26.06.2023.

¶24

Considering the fact that the State has supported the case of the Respondent No. 5 and the Respondent No. 5 has produced the documents in support of his right, title and interest and in view of the long standing jamabandi, I am not inclined to interfere in this matter.
