batchelor, j.1. we think the order made by the learned magistrate in this case must be set aside. it purports to be made under sections 1153 and 137 of the criminal procedure code. but the magistrate was met at the outset of his inquiry by a claim of ownership on behalf of this petitioner.2. now when a claim of that kind is made, the magistrate has to see whether it is a boma fide claim on the part of the maker or is a mere pretence to oust his jurisdiction. in the latter case of course the jurisdiction will not be ousted, but in the former case the magistrate's proper course is to stay his hand and to allow the dispute to be settled in the civil courts. see for instance luckhee narain banerjee v. ramkumar mukherjee i l r (1888) cal. 564.3. in this case the learned magistrate, instead of considering whether the claim was a bona fide claim from the point of view of the petitioner, proceeded to appreciate the evidence which the petitioner had tendered ; and, in so doing, we think that he has not done justice to the petitioner's case. the gabhan register seems capable of being used to support the petitioner and the registered sale-deed upon which the petitioner relied, would, we think, if properly considered, turn out to have more importance than the learned magistrate is inclined to allow it : compare the case of thama v. govind : (1907)9bomlr401 . but the result simply has been this that because the claim was not proved to the magistrate's satisfaction, therefore, he makes the .....

Court : Kolkata

1. this is an appeal on behalf of the zemindar defendant in an action for recovery of possession of land commenced against him by the plaintiff respondent. the plaintiff claims title to the disputed land under leases granted by one chand mandal who holds under a putni created in his favour so far back as 1853 by the predecessor-in-title of the appellant. the putni lease contained a reservation under which the reserved forest and the service lands of the guards of the forest existing of old' were excepted from the grant. the controversy between the parties raises the question, whether the lands in dispute fall within or without the reserved forests. the plaintiff asserts that the lands are outside the reserved forests and are included in the grant which is the foundation of his title. he further alleges that he and his predecessors have been in adverse possession of the disputed land as part of the grant for a time much longer than the statutory period and have consequently acquired a right to hold the same as part of the leasehold grant. the defendant zemindar on the other hand asserts that the lands are part of the reserved forest and have been enjoyed as such by him and his predecessors for many years past. the court of first instance found in favour of the plaintiff that the lands were included in the putni grant, and that even if they were not included, the plaintiff has by prescription acquired an indefeasible right to hold possession thereof. upon appeal, the district .....
