The members of this community had purchased lands known as Khurd Raipur (now known as Sanwal Nagar). It was developed into a colony known as Sanwal Nagar. This land had been handed over to the respondent Corporation for the purpose of running a school thereafter even after shifting of the school, this land has not been

handed over to the petitioner society.
