3. Second appeal preferred there against was also dismissed on 7.1.2013. Where against the respondent filed a revision under section 50 of 1959 Code.

The Board also took note of the fact that even a complaint case filed by the present petitioner alleging forgery as to thumb impression was dismissed.

4. The Board also found that other members of the family on the basis of said partition have sold their land. The Revenue Board found:
