KHAZAN SINGH & ORS. vs HUKAM SINGH & ORS.

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellants' writ petition seeking to quash the orders of the Settlement Officer and Deputy Director of Consolidation regarding khata No. 150. The Court found that the Settlement Officer's decision was based on a thorough examination of revenue records, which indicated that the land had been exclusively held by the respondents since 1307 Fasli, suggesting a partition or similar arrangement. Consequently, the Court held that the appellants were not joint tenants in khata No. 150, affirming the lower court's ruling.
