This is an application in revision against the order of the District Judge in Civil Appeal No. 92 of 1957, directing the petitioner (who was the plaintiff in C. S. No. 37 of 1956, before the Subordinate Judge and the appellant in Civil Appeal No. 92 of 1957, before the District Judge) to pay ad valorem Court-fee on Rs. 10,838/-.

2. The petitioner filed the suit for declaration of his title to an ingkhol under patta No. 86/151 and the structures built thereon by right of inheritance from one R.K. Nandasana Singh as a reversioner and he prayed for the consequential relief of possession of the said property from the respondents. He also claimed that he was entitled to a sum of Rs. 838/- which was deposited in the Government in Claim Case No. 4268 of 1950-51, by the same right of inheritance. The other reliefs claimed in the plaint were that a sale-deed dated 2-1-1952 executed by the first respondent in favour of the second respondent in respect of a portion of the property was illegal and inoperative against the plaintiff and that certain Revenue Court proceedings recording the name of the 1st respondent as the owner of the property were inoperative against the plaintiff.
