This dispute relates to Khata No. 201 bearing two Gatas. Initially, the land was recorded in the name of Krishna Nand and Shiv Ram, sons of Ram Adhar. The relationship between the parties is as follows:     

Ram Adhar and Ram Samujh were real brothers, being sons of Bachchu. Ram Adhar was elder to Ram Samujh. Kamla Devi, Ram Samujh's daughter, claimed that although Ram Adhar acted in a representative capacity, the suit-property had been purchased jointly by her father and Ram Adhar in 1938 from the Hasanpur Estate
