2. These writ petitions have been preferred by the Urban Improvement Trust, Alwar, aggrieved by the judgment of the learned Board of Revenue dated 30th December, 1983, whereby the appeals filed by the respondents against the decision of the learned Revenue Appellate Authority decreeing the suit filed by the State of Rajasthan and setting aside the judgment and decree dated 28th March, 1972, passed by the learned Tribunal Court dismissing the suit filed by the State, was allowed by the learned Board of Revenue and suit filed by the State of Rajasthan came to be dismissed.
3. The suit came to be filed in respect of the land, which was purchased by one Banarsidas on 6th January, 1949 from the erstwhile Biswedar. The predecessor-in-title of the respondent Ramnarain purchased the land by registered sale-deed on 19th February, 1955 from Banarsidas. Thereafter, mutation Nos. 195 and 125 were opened in favour of the predecessor-in-title of the respondent Ramnarain on 5th September, 1956. It also appears from the record that the nature of the land was also altered to Abadi, as was submitted by the petitioner, which is evident from the Annexure-2 the judgment of the Revenue Appellate Authority, filed by the petitioner.
4. The State Government was of view that as a result of the coming into force of the Rajasthan Zamindari and Biswedari Abolition Act,1959 (hereinafter referred to as `the Act of 1959'), the said land vested with the State and therefore, the predecessor-in-title of the respondents Ramnarain was a trespasser. Accordingly, proceedings under Section 91 of the Rajasthan Land Revenue Act, 1956, were initiated against Ramnarain in respect of land in dispute. The said proceedings were dropped by the Tehsildar vide order dated 28th December, 1965. In the meanwhile, the application submitted by the deceased Ramnarain, the predecessor-in-title for the respondent, for recording their names in the settlement operation came to be allowed under order of the Settlement Officer dated 15th January, 1965 and the name of Ramnarain came to be entered in the revenue records, as a result of the aforesaid order dated 15th January, 1965. It appears that as a result of the passing of the order dated 15th January, 1965. the Tehsildar dropped the proceedings under Section 91 of the Land Revenue Act, 1956 for eviction of the trespasser by his order dated 28th December, 1965, which has been filed on record as Annexure-R/2. The said order Annexure-R/2 reads as follows:-
