S.Ahmed
Gangarani Bera – Appellant
Versus
STATE OF WEST BENGAL – Respondent
1. ON these matters 10948 (W) of 85 was disposed by order dt. 27. 11. 86. The case of the petitioners in 10946 (W)of. 1985 and 10947 (W) of 85 in brief is that the petitioners are the owners in respect of the lands described in the respective petitions. They are cultivating the lands themselves. There were no bargadars on the said land. During the preparation of record of rights under the provisions of the' W. B. L. R. Act the names of the petitioners were rightly recorded in respect of the disputed land as owners in khas possession. Upto the attestation stage nobody claimed any right of bargadarship on the aforesaid land. Petitioners received notice from the Revenue Officer directing them to appear before him with necessary documents. The notices are Annexures 'b' in both the applications. The petitioners contended that once attestation has been made the Revenue Officer has no right to make any further entry before publication of draft record of rights. The Revenue Officers concerned are not officers with the additional designation of Settlement Officers, accordingly they have no power to act under second proviso to rule 1 of Schedule A of rule 22 of West Bengal L. R. Rule
