ESA-8228-2018 4.

The decree holder assails the correctness of the concurrent orders passed by both the Courts below while dismissing his objection petition. It has come on record that the decree holder fabricated the sale certificate by inserting khasra No. 5264 so as to make the area mentioned in the certificate to be 2 bighas 6 biswas instead of 291 square yards. The property was allotted by the Rehabilitation Department. It was proved that the decree holder was only allotted the land measuring 291 square yards as per the sale certificate No. 3904 dated 20.02.1961. On account of fabrication of the allotment letter, the decree holder was also convicted in a criminal case which, in appeal, was affirmed by the First Appellate Court.

The original sale certificate shows that the Rehabilitation Department allotted the plot measuring 291 square yards and not the land measuring 2 bighas 6 biswas. It is further proved that the Karnal Improvement Trust acquired the land on 07.11.1972. The suit filed by the plaintiff against both the sons of Bhulla for injunction was decreed to the effect that they were restrained from forcibly dispossessing him. When he sought execution of the decree, the Karnal Improvement Trust filed the objections which have been allowed. 5.

The learned counsel representing the appellant fails to draw the attention of this Court to any error in the aforesaid findings. 6.

Keeping in view the aforesaid facts, no ground is made out to interfere with the concurrent orders passed by both the Courts below. Hence, the present appeal is dismissed.

7.

The miscellaneous application(s) pending, if any, shall stand disposed of.
