All these issues are relatedandtheseissuesaretakentogether. While deciding the issues learned court belowevaluatedtheevidenceoftheplaintiff respondent No.2, PWC1 Rakesh Debnath, P.W.2C Narayan Debnath, P.W.3C Ranjit Debnath and also analyze the evidence of appellant's side, D.W.1C Chitta Ranjan Debnath, D.W.2C Anil Chakraborty, D.W.3C Nepal Debnath, D.W.4CBenulal Bhowmik. Exbt.

1 is the certified copy of Khatian. That Khatian disclosed the fact that the land underDagNo.1619and1623wasallottedin the name of Renubala Debnath and her husband Lal Mohan Debnath. Area of the landis.07acres.Itistruethattheallotment order is not produced. But Khatian is definitely is a allotted Khatian. One of the allottee Lal Mohan Debnath died on 11.01.2008. Survivalship certificate is also produced which support that the respondentsNo.1,2,3and4beinglegalheirs substituted Lal Mohan Nath, the original allottee the land. The mater cancellation of allotment is not subject matter of this case. The dispute arises in respectofpossessionofthelandwhichwas handedovertotheappellantasalleged.

Itis alleged that the defendant appellant paid Rs.25,000/C as consideration money to the respondent No.1 and her husband. There is no documentary evidence in respect of payment of Rs.25,000/C for the purpose of the suit land under plot No.1619 and 1623 under Khatian No.870. This entry in the Khatian is not contradicted by any other document. The appellant himself admitted that the land was allotted in favour of the respondents.Thisfactadmittedinpara15of the written statement. The admission itself cannotcreatetitlenodoubt,buttheperson whoadmitteditcannotdenylateron,onthe principlesofestoppels.He isnotallowedto blowhotandcoldairinthesamebreath.

No better evidence is given by the appellant to show that the land was purchased in the year1998byhim.Thereisalsonoevidence to show that Rs.

 

  considerationmoney.Itisadmittedposition that the appellant did not file any suit for specific performance of contract to prove thattheywerealwaysreadytoperformtheir sideofcontract.Formtheevidenceadduced by the respondents side it appears that the part of the suit land under B schedule was allowedtobepossessedbythe appellantin the year 2006. The respondents allowed them to possess it as permissive possessor. Going through settlement record such permissive possession, however, not found. After lapse of some years in the year 2009 respondentsclaimedtogetbackthelandfor theirownpurposeandtheappellantrefused. One photo copy of allotment is found which is for land measuring .07 acres under Dag No.1619 and 1623.

 Allotment Khatian No.870ispreparedinthenameofRenubala Debnath and her husband Lal Mohan Debnath. Nothing contrary is found to disbelievethisKhatianwhichclearlyreflects the ownership the respondents. Therefore, the learned court below viewed that the oral contract between the parties not proved by convincing evidence. The advance payment or any hand note not proved. In this regard leaned court below referred the decision published in AIR 2004 SC1801,AIR2000SC1729.Afterdiscussion and analysis of the evidence on record learned court below viewed that the plaintiffs side have proved their right, title andinterestoverscheduleAland.Appellant side admitted possession over 'B' schedule land.

 As per contention of the appellant the landwasoccupiedonthebasisofagreement since 1998. But the appellant could not produce any convincing evidence to prove such oral contract and possession on payment of Rs.25,000/C. The matter of cancellation of record of right is not the matter of discussion in the civil court. It is admitted position that the appellant is in possession of the suit land which is owned by the respondents. The evidence on record convincingly proved the title the respondents over 'B' schedule land which is under occupation of the appellant. So, the respondents are entitled to get decree for recoveryofpossessionbydispossessingthe appellant from the 'B' schedule land.

 Being title holder of the remaining 0.02 acres of land under C schedule, the plaintiff respondents are entitled to get decree for confirmation of possession and perpetual injunction.

 Learned advocate for the appellant filed another prayer for giving additional evidence. This additional evidence is the certified copy of the petition filed by the respondents side in the case before the Hon'ble High Court vide W.P.(C) No.68 of 2013. Learned advocate for the appellant submits that the primary document i.e. the Khatianonthebasisofwhichthedecreewas given by the learned court below is already cancelledbytherevenuecourt.Thedecision oftherevenuecourtistobeincorporatedas evidenceforjustdecisionofthecase. On the other hand, learned advocatefortherespondentsarguesthatthe operationoftheorderoftherevenuecourtis already stayed by the order of the Hon'ble High Court in W.P.(C) 68/2013.

 As the operation of that order is stayed, so it cannot be taken into consideration by the civilcourt. Learned advocate for the appellant thensubmitsthatdifferentfactswereplaced beforetheHon'bleHighCourtforgettingthe stay order. So, that petition which is contradictory with the submission before this court is required to be given in this casesasadditionalevidence. I have considered the submission ofbothsides.Gonethroughthepetitionand thewrittenobjection. Admittedly,theorderoftheS.D.M., Udaipur dated 12.10.2012 is stayed by the Hon'ble High Court in case No.W.P.(C) 68/2013. As the operation of that order is stayed, so the order of S.D.M.

 which is a public document cannot be taken into considerationforjustdecisionatthisstage. Writ petition filed by the respondents side before the Hon'ble High Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India for getting stay order is not a matter for consideration to decide the case. In the writ petition nature relief sought is different category and it is before the domain of the Hon'ble High Court. Civil Court cannot take into consideration the writ petition which wasfiledbeforetheHon'bleHighCourt.So, thewritpetitionpendingbeforetheHon'ble HighCourtcannotbeconsideredasevidence intheCivilCourt.

 

 writpetitionfiledbytherespondentsbefore the Hon'ble High Court is unreasonable and not relevant. Therefore, this prayer for giving additional evidence in respect of the order of the S.D.M, Udaipur and the writ petition filed before the Hon'ble High Court, standsrejected." [Emphasisadded] [9] '

  "11.ThePlaintiff,however,contendedinthe second appeal before the High Court that material evidence had not been taken into considerationbythefirstappellatecourtand the High Court has framed the following substantialquestionoflaw: Whether the Courts below have failed to consider the material evidenceonrecord?" Having framed the substantial question of law,theHighCourtshouldhavepointedout in the impugned judgment the material evidence which had not been considered by thefirstappellatecourt,whichifconsidered, would have established ownership of the plaintiff to the suit property.

 Instead of pointingoutthematerialevidencewhichhas not been considered by the first appellate court, the High court has made its own assessment of the entire evidence as if it was the first appellate court and held that the plaintiff was the owner of the suit property and was entitled to possession of 17 karams X 45 karams of land depicted in lettersEHGFinthesiteplanEx.PWC9/Aand that he was also entitled to the relief of permanent injunction restraining the Plaintifffromraisinganyconstructioninthe saidpropertyoralienatingthesaidproperty. The High Court has itself noticed in the impugnedjudgmentthatthelanddepictedin the site plan Ex.PWC9/A as EHGF was deliveredtoCol.

GirdharSinghandhisfamily membersatthetimeofexecutionofthesale deed by the Plaintiff as Attorney of Nanak Singhon19.07.1979andtheappellantshad taken possession of the aforesaid land fromCol. Girdhar Singh and his family membersin1987.Theappellantswere,thus, in legal possession of the suit property and the High Court in exercise of its powers under Section 100, CPC could not have reversed the findings of the trial court and the first appellate court and decreed the suitsfordeclarationoftitleandforrecovery ofpossessionandinjunctioninfavourofthe Respondents so as to adversely affect such legalpossessionoftheappellants. 12.

         (AIR 2004 SC 1591) (SUPRA) cited by learned counsel for the respondents,thisCourtfoundthatthemain issuearoundwhichtheentirecaserevolved was whether the agreement dated 05.07.1976 was a license or a tenancy and though this issue was before the trial court andtheagreementwasheldtobealicence, 

  

 the lower appellate court had not adjudicated upon this issue and this Court held that when the core issue is not adjudicated upon, it raises a substantial question of law under Section100 CPC. In thepresentcase,thecoreissuewaswhether the plaintiff was the owner of the suit property and the first appellate court has heldinC.A.No.1721on20.03.2004thatthe plaintiff has not been able to prove his ownership over the suit property and has further held in C.A. No. 16CT filed on 19.09.1990thattheplaintiff'sownadmitted case in the plaint is that the appellants had purchased the suit property fromCol.

 Girdhar Singh and his family members and were in possession of the same and hence the Plaintiff was not entitled to declaration of his title, recovery of possession and injunction. In this case, therefore, the first appellate court haddecidedthe core issue against the Plaintiff and no substantial question of law arose for decision in this case by the High Court under Section100, CPC."
