V.K. Bist, J.

By means of this writ petition, the petitioners have challenged the order dated 22.07.2016 passed by the Deputy Director, Consolidation, Haridwar/respondent no. 1 under Section 48 of the U.P. Consolidation of Holding Act, 1953.

2. It is the case of the petitioner that Late Smt. Hiro Devi, widow of Late Tara Chand, was recorded bhumidhar with transferable rights in Khata Khatauni No. 185 and 168 (now after consolidation consolidated and renumbered into 424 and 366 respectively). The petitioners are the sons of the real brother of Late Tara Chand and there are three daughters of Late Hiro Devi, namely, Murti Devi, Vimla Devi and Kamla Devi. Late Hiro Devi, after the death of her husband Late Tara Chand, lived with the petitioners and their father all her life and even the petitioners with their father themselves arranged and conducted the marriage of the three daughters of Late Hiro Devi.

3. During the life time of Late Hiro Devi, the petitioners made all the efforts, as per their status, to look after her, as after the marriage of her daughters, there was nobody to look after Hiro Devi, therefore, she remained with the petitioners on their care and affection. Su
