The suit was filed because the defendants threatened to disturb his possession. The suit was contested by the defendants on the ground that the plaintiff is neither owner nor in possession of the suit land rather they are in continuous possession of the suit land for the last more than 40 years as initially it was in possession of Attar Singh Chela Gulab Singh of Dera Bhai Mastan Singh without payment of any rent
