The Jamabandi for the year 1946-47 it was classified as According to the comments submitted by the Settlement Department before the High Court it was in the occupation of 35 families with a population of 145. The High Court accepted the assertion of the respondents that as the plot did not constitute agricultural land its allotment in favour of the petitioners was illegal.

3. In support of this petition it is contended that the plot was being used for purposes subservient to agriculture anti as such it was land within the meaning of the Rehabilitation Scheme. There is nothing on the record which may bear out this contention. Even the revenue record produced by the petitioners themselves goes against their contention. In this context it may be mentioned that the earliest revenue record placed on the file is the khasra girdawari for the year 1941. In that document too, the plot is shown as. --This petition is without any merit and is hereby dismissed.
