On the other hand, the land would be deemed to be khud-kasht land of the temple and would accordingly be governed by clause (a) of Section 23 of the Jagir Act and constitute private property of the temple. In support he cited 1977 RRD 448. The learned Government Advocate, on the other hand, argued that this land did not belong to the temple, but was government land (Sawai Chak) and, therefore, khatedari rights could accrue to the persons and could not be said to be the khudkasht land of the temple. We have considered the matter. The S.D.O. does not appear to have properly examined this question. He only stated that the land had been entered as the khatedari land of certain persons and, therefore, could not be declared as private property. When the temple had claimed the land as belonging to itself, the S.D.O. ought to have examined the status of the persons who were given khatedari right and also the question as to whether the grant of khatedari rights was in accordance with law. This having not been done, we have no option but to remand the case to the S.D.O. for further examination in the light of the contentions raised on behalf of the appellant as also the State Government. It may, however, be stated for the guidance of the S.D.O. that if the land belonged to the temple, then as held in 1977 RRD 448 persons cultivating the land on behalf of the temple would be tenants of khudkasht and no khatedari rights would accrue to them as such accrual under Section 19 of the Rajasthan Tenancy Act would be hit by the provisions of Section 46 of that Act. The result would be the land would continue to the khudkasht land of the temple. The result would be the land would continue to the khudkasht land of the temple. jktLo e.My }kjk vihy dks izfrizsf"kr djus ds ipkr~ miftyk dyDVj] iksdj.k ¼tkxhj½ }kjk izdj.k dks ntZ jftLVj dj dk;Zokgh izkjEHk dh x;h ,oa i{kdkjksa }kjk izLrqr dh x;h lk{; fjdkMZ ij ysdj ,oa mudh cgl lqudj nksckjk fu.kZ; fnukad 18-6-91 ikfjr fd;k tks fuEu izdkj gS%& ^^nksuksa i{kksa dh cgl lquus ds mijkUr eSa bl fu"d"kZ ij igqapk gWw fd ftu dkrdkjksa dks dqy 15499 ch?kk 19 fcLok esa [kkrsnkjh vf/kdkj izkIr gks pqds gS rFkk tks vf/kxzg.k ls lsuk foHkkx esa pyh xbZ gS rFkk vkcknh dks NksMdj ks"k Hkwfe [kljk uEcj 1 ls 303 Hkknfj;k jk; ekrkth ds efUnj dh [kqndkr Hkwfe ?kksf"kr dh tkrh gSa ftu yksxksa dks [kkrsnkjh fey pqdh gS] mudh tkap djuk bl U;k;ky; ds {ks=kf/kdkj ls ckgj gSA blds lkFk gh [kljk uEcj 260 dks Hkh Hkknfj;k jk; ekrkth ds efUnj dh futh lEifÙk ?kksf"kr dh tkrh gSA blds vykok [kljk uEcj 1 ls 303 esa tks isM] vU; O;fä;ksa dh [kkrsnkjh esa o lsuk foHkkx ds vf/kdkj esa ugha gS ;k vkcknh esa ugha gS] Hkknfj;k jk; ekrkth dh futh lEifÙk ?kksf"kr dh tkrh gSA** 5- mijksä fu.kZ; ls O;fFkr gksdj jktLFkku ljdkj }kjk vihy la[;k 16@1991 izLrqr dh x;h ftlesa mijksä fu.kZ; }kjk efUnj Hkknfj;k jk; ekrkth ds uke futh lEifÙk ?kksf"kr djus ds vknsk dks fujLr djus dh izkFkZuk dh xbZ rFkk ,d vU; vihy Hkknfj;k ekrk th dh vksj ls vihy la[;k 23@1991 izLrqr dh x;h gS ftlesa [kkrsnkjksa dh Hkwfe dks Hkh eafnj dh futh Hkwfe ?kksf"kr djus dh izkFkZuk dh rFkk [kljk uEcj 1 ls 303 ds e/; fLFkr Ldwy] rkykc] dq,] fcfYMaxksa] lM+dksa vkfn lHkh {ks= dks viuh futh lEifÙk ?kksf"kr djus dh izkFkZuk dh xbZA 6- bl izdj.k esa bl U;k;ky; dh [k.MihB }kjk fnukad 12-12-2005 dks miftyk dyDVj ¼tkxhj½] iksdj.k dks vknsk fn;k x;k fd og fookfnr Hkwfe dh vkt dh ekSds dh fLFkfr dh foLrqr fjiksVZ cukdj vnkyr esa izLrqr djsA bl vknsk dh ikyuk esa iVokjh gYdk ykBh] Hkw vfHkys[k fujh{kd] lkdMk] uk;c rglhynkj ,oa rglhynkj iksdj.k }kjk ekSds dh cgqr foLr`r fjiksVZ cukbZ vkSj ml fjiksVZ dks miftyk dyDVj ¼tkxhj½] iksdj.k us izfrgLrk{kfjr djds bl U;k;ky; esa izLrqr fd;k rFkk fnukad 11-8-2005 dks bl vnkyr esa mifLFkr gksdj cukbZ x;h fjiksVZ ds rF;ksa dh iqf"V dhA bl ekSdk fjiksVZ fnukad 15-6-2005 ds ckcr~ i{kdkjku~ dks lquk x;kA ;g fjiksVZ bl ekeys esa fLFkfr dks dkQh Li"V djrh gS vr% bls ;gka m)`r fd;k tk jgk gs tks fuEu izdkj gS%& ^^ekSdk fjiksVZ fnukad 15-6-2006 ekuuh; U;k;ky; jktLo e.My vtesj esa fopkjk/khu vihy ¼1½ tkxhj 16@1991 tSlyesj jktLFkku ljdkj cuke Hkknfj;k ekrkth rFkk ¼2½ vihy tkxhj 23@1991 tSlyesj Hkknfj;k ekrkth cuke ljdkj esa of.kZr Hkwfe dh uohure ekSdk fjiksVZ U;k;ky; fu.kZ; fnukad 12-12-2005 dh vuqikyuk esa izLrqr dh tk jgh gSA mijksä vihy esa of.kZr Hkwfe jktLo xzke Hkknfj;k rglhy iksdj.k ftyk tSlyesj esa fLFkr gS ftlesa 1 ls 303 rFk 22 ehu [kljksa lfgr dqy 303 + 22 = 325 [kljku gS ftudk dqy jdck 129557-09 ch?kk gSA mijksä of.kZr 325 [kljku dh dqy jdck 129557-09 ch?kk Hkwfe dk fooj.k bl izdkj gS%& 1- Jh Hkknfj;k ekrkth efUnj Hkwfe % 4 [kljku ¼33] 248] 251 o 253½ dqy 4-07 ch?kk 2- j{kk foHkkx dks gLrkUrfjr Hkwfe % 164 [kljku ¼2@293] 3@1] 4@293] 5] 5@293] 6@293] 7@1] 8@1] 9] 9@293] 10@1] 12] 14 ls 23] 25 ls 28] 30 ls 32] 34 ls 43] 46] 52] 54 ls 58] 60] 61] 63 ls 67@1] 68@1] 70 ls 72] 74 ls 78] 79@1] 81 ls 87] 89] 91] 92] 94] 96@1] 97@1] 111] 112] 114] 115@1] 116] 118] 119] 121] 122] 124 ls 126] 128 ls 131 ls 133 ls 140] 141@1 ls 151] 153 ls 155] 157 ls 158] 160] 162] 163@1] 165@1] 174@1] 176@1] 177@1] 178] 179@1] 180] 181] 183] 185] 187 ls 189] 191 ls 196] 201 ls 212] 214 ls 216] 218@1 ls 220] 223] 225 ls 228] 230] 231@1½ = 17720-11 ch?kk Hkwfe 3- lkoZtfud fuekZ.k foHkkx ds ikl Hkwfe % 4 [kljku ¼242] 244] 254 o 292½ = 61-06 ch?kk 4- fk{kk foHkkx ds ikl Hkwfe % 1 [kljk ¼321@234½ = 12-10 ch?kk [TRUNCATED]
