As far as documents (Ex. P4 and Ex. P5), referred to by the learned counsel for the appellant are concerned, in my opinion, the same do not establish that in fact at the time of acquisition of land in 1977, there existed any house on the spot in question. Ex. P4 is merely a jamabandi for the year 1978-79 showing the land to be gair mumkin abadi . Document (Ex. P5) is a copy of the assessment register of Notified Area Committee, Nangal Township, wherein certain property has been shown to be subjected to house tax for the years 1962-63, 1963-64 and 1965-66. It could not be established from any other evidence on record to show that the house tax pertained to the same property which was acquired. In addition thereto, there is a statement of appellant-Kishori Lal on record, who while appearing as PW-1 stated that on the land owned by Makhtul Singh, which was taken on lease by his father -Karta Ram, in the year 1974 seven houses had been constructed, which had been acquired. In his cross-examination, he admitted that the houses were got constructed by his father who died in the year 1980. He was alive when the houses were acquired, but he did not make any application for compensation thereof. It was in support of this that the estimated cost of construction in the form of Ex. P2 was placed on record showing the value of the construction at Rs. 15,240.79.
