After having recorded the evidence led by the parties, he was unable to satisfy himself as to, which of them was in possession of the disputed room and. Consequently in exercise of the powers vesting in him under section 146(1) of the Cr. P. C. Attached the same. The aforesaid provision reads as follows:-- "Section 146.-(1) if the Magistrate decides that none of the parties was then in such possession, or is unable to satisfy him--self as to which of them was then in such possession of the subject of dispose,, he may attach it until a competent Court has determined the rights of the parties thereto, or the person entitled to possession thereof : Provided that tire District Magistrate or the Magistrate who has attached the subject of dispute may withdraw-the attach--ment at any time if he is satisfied that there is no longer any likelihood of a breach of the peace in regard to the subject of dispute.
