The plaintiff also stands recorded as owner of the suit property in the house tax assessment register of the municipal committee, Sohna since the year 1980-81. The suit property is said to be part and parcel of khasra No. 245/4, 245/6 and 245/15 in the revenue estate of Sohna, which was said to be previously owned by Sh. Dina Nath and Thakar Dass sons of Sh. Chanan Ram R/o Palwal. He claimed right of ownership by prescription on expiry of 30 years meant for redemption of the mortgage. It was the case of the plaintiff/respondent that the land in dispute was purchased from said Dina Nath for a sale consideration of Rs.11,500/- and possession of the same was obtained in the year 1974 after paying the earnest money of Rs.3,500/- on 6.6.1974. The sale deed of the suit land could not be executed as the suit land stands involved in litigation with one Ram Chander etc., which was said to be still pending. Defendants No. 2 to 7 except defendant No. 3 were inducted in the suit property as tenants under the plaintiff, whereas father of defendant No. 3 was inducted as tenant, however, subsequently defendant No. 3 was inducted as tenant by the plaintiff. Defendants No. 2 to 6 are said to be chronic defaulters and had not paid the rent for the last 5-6 years, therefore, an ejectment petition was filed before the learned Rent Controller seeking their eviction on ground of non-payment of rent.
