The said order has been passed by the learned Single Judge, by assigning valid reasons and recording a finding of fact at paragraph 6 of his order to the effect that the third respondent purchased the land in question under a registered sale deed from the previous owner on 13th May 1976 and the appellant has filed Form No.7 for registration of occupancy rights on 31st December 1976, without thorough verification and intentionally and deliberately not impleaded the third respondent nor notified in the relevant column No.7.
