Conclusive proof, the certificate of purchase has its own 'conclusive' evidentiary value to the extend provided in S. 72K(2) of the the Kerala Land Reforms Act, 1963 in proceedings before the Taluk Land Board. It will therefore be for the Board to arrive at its own decision under sub-s.

Prima facie evidence
Prima facie evidence, that which, not being inconsis-tent with the falsity of the hypothesis, nevertheless raises such a degree of probability in its favour that it must prevail if it be credited by the jury, unless it be rebutted, or the contrary proved; conclusive evidence, on the other hand, is that which excludes, or at least tends to exclude, the possibility of the truth of any other hypothesis than the one attempted to be established....
Proof
Proof, does not mean proof to rigid mathematical demonstration, because that is impossible; it must mean such evidence as would induce a reasonable man to come to a particular conclusion, Hawkins v. Powells Tillery Steam Coal Co. Ltd., (1911) 1 KB 988: 1911 WN 53.Proof, evidence, testimony, convincing token means of conviction. Also standard strength of spirituous liquids.See BURDEN OR PROOF; EVIDENCE; BANK-RUPTCY; WINDING-UP.The word 'proof' need be understood in the sense in which it is defined in the Evidence Act because proof depends upon the admissibility of evidence.

This is the definition given for the word 'proved' in the Evidence Act. What is required is production of such materials on which the court can reaso...
Graveyard
Graveyard, Under the Mahomedan Law the graveyards may be of two kinds - a family or private graveyard and a public graveyard. A graveyard is a private one which is confined only to burial of corpses of the founder, his relations or his descendants. In such a burial ground no person who does not belong to the family of the founder is permitted to be bury to his dead. On the other hand if any member of the public is permitted to be buried in a graveyard and this practice grows so that it is proved by instances adequate in character, number and extent, then the presumption will be that the dedication is complete and the graveyard has become a public graveyard where the Mahomedan public will have the right to bury their dead. It is also well settled that a conclusive proof of the public graveyard is the description of the burial ground in the revenue records as a public graveyard, Syed Mohd. Salie Labbai v. Mohd. Hanifa, AIR 1976 SC 1569 (1584): (1976) 4 SCC 780: (1976) 3 SCR 721.Once a Ka...

Registration of title of land
Registration of title of land. The (English) Land Registration Act, 1925 (15 Geo. 5, c. 21), repeals and re-enacts the (English) Land Transfer Acts, 1875 (38 & 39 Vict. c. 87) and 1897 (60 & 61 Vict. c. 65), with amendments in keeping with innovations which were introduced by the property laws of 1925. Its object is to simplify the indicia of land ownership and transfer by mere inscription and transcription in a register. The advantages which are claimed for the system are (a) purchasers for value of an absolute or good leasehold title are absolved from any inquiry into the title other than it is shown to be on the register; (b) certain equitable claims which would be binding on the land under the general law and cannot be removed or over-reached without onerous formalities do not affect such purchasers; (c) the method of conveyance or charge is simple; (d) subject to the statutory provisions, registration guarantees the title to purchasers for value and mortgagees. It should be observ...
