Submission of the learned Advocate appearing on behalf of the appellants that appellants are in possession of suit property since 1965 and possession of appellants ripened into right of adverse possession and on this ground appeal be accepted is rejected for the reason hereinafter mentioned. It is well settled law that prolonged possession by itself does not prove the factum of ownership by adverse possession. See: Devi Chand Vs. Raj Dulari, (1992) 2 ShimLC 248 . It is well settled law that prolonged possession by itself does not prove the factum of ownership by adverse possession. See: Devi Chand Vs. Raj Dulari, (1992) 2 ShimLC 248 . In the jamabandi Ext P1 for the year 1993-94 in the ownership and cultivation column the name of Smt. Vidya Devi has been recorded and even in the khasra Girdawari w.e.f. 19th April 1995 to 8th April 1997 the ownership and possession of Smt. Vidya Devi has been recorded. The name of defendants did not figure in the ownership and possession column of the jamabandi for the year 1993-94 Ext. P1 and in Khasra Girdwari Ext. D1 placed on record. Jamabandi Ext. P1 and Khasra Girdwari Ext. D1 have been prepared by the public official in discharge of official duty and both documents are relevant facts u/s 35 of the Indian Evidence Act. Appellants did not examine any revenue official in order to rebut the entries of jamabandi and khasra Girdwari qua the suit land placed on record. Even the testimony of PW1 Balchander Bhardwaj is not helpful to the appellants because defendants have not stated that possession has become hostile to the true owner. Even DW2 Maan Singh and DW3 Fiquir Chand did not state in their testimony that possession of defendants has become hostile to the true owner. Simply stating that there is possession of the defendants over the suit land is not sufficient to prove all the ingredients of right of adverse possession. It is well settled law that a person claiming adverse possession over immovable property should prove that possession was peaceful, open continuous and hostile to the knowledge of the true owner. See: Rama Kanta Jain Vs. M.S. Jain and others, AIR 1999 Delhi 281. Also See: Jang Bahadur Vs. Juthi Devi and Others, (1995) 4 ILR HP 2547. In the present case there is no positive, cogent and reliable evidence on record to prove that defendants have acquired title over suit land by way of right of adverse possession. Hence ingredient of hostile possession is not proved on record. It is well settled law that adverse possession is based upon unlawful possession which has become lawful with the passage of time subject to certain conditions. Hence it is held that appellants did not prove all ingredients of adverse possession over the suit property in accordance with law. Even as per jamabandi entries Ext. It is well settled law that adverse possession is based upon unlawful possession which has become lawful with the passage of time subject to certain conditions. Hence it is held that appellants did not prove all ingredients of adverse possession over the suit property in accordance with law. Even as per jamabandi entries Ext. P-1 placed on record for the year 1993-94 in the ownership column and in possession column of suit land names of appellants did not figure. It is well settled law when there is conflict between oral evidence and documentary evidence then documentary evidence always prevails unless documentary evidence is not rebutted by examination of public official who prepared public document in discharge of official duty. It was held in case reported in 1999(1) SLJ page 16 titled Ram Krishan vs. Geeta Devi and others that oral evidence is not sufficient to rebut the entries incorporated in revenue record in discharge of official duty unless the revenue official who had incorporated the entries in public record is not examined in Court. None of the witness examined by appellants have stated in their testimony that possession of appellants became hostile to the legal rights of deceased plaintiff or her L.Rs. Hence it is held that ingredients of hostile possession not proved on record by way of oral testimony of witness examined by appellants. Finding upon substantial question of law No. 1. 10. The submission of the learned Advocate appearing on behalf of the appellants that deceased plaintiff did not appear in the witness box and her attorney appeared in the witness box and in view of the ruling of the Hon'ble Apex Court reported in Harswarup Vs. Ram Lok Sharma, (2000) 3 ShimLC 160 the present appeal be accepted is also rejected for the reason hereinafter mentioned. The facts of the above said ruling and the facts of the present case are entirely different. In the present case the appellants/defendants took the plea of right of adverse possession. It is well settled law that whenever the plea of right of adverse possession is taken by the adverse party then onus is upon the adverse party to prove the right of adverse possession. It is well settled law that when right of adverse possession is not proved by the adverse party then decree on the basis of title should be passed in favour of true owner. It is well settled law that when right of adverse possession is not proved by the adverse party then decree on the basis of title should be passed in favour of true owner. See: Tilak Raj Vs. Bhagat Ram and Another, (1997) 1 ShimLC 281 , See: SLJ 2009 (1) HP 188 titled Amar Singh vs. Jai Singh. The deceased plaintiff filed the present suit on the basis of the title. The name of deceased plaintiff recorded in the ownership column of suit property in the records-of-right prepared by the revenue officials under HP Land Revenue Act in discharge of official duty. Jamabandi Ext. P1 for the year 1993-94 remains un-rebutted on record. Even the nature of the suit land has been shown as 'Khatedar' i.e. grassy land and the entry in the jamabandi Ext. P1 placed on record is a relevant fact u/s 35 of the Indian Evidence Act. Appellants-defendants did not examine any revenue official in order to rebut the entry of revenue record. Even deceased plaintiff was widow and was rustic villager. Appellants did not file any application before learned trial Court to examine female plaintiff through Local Commissioner. Age of Smt. Vidya Devi was 74 years. Hence it is held that it is not expedient in the ends of justice to draw adverse inference against female aged more than 74 years for personally non-appearance in Court. Hence substantial question of law No. 1 is answered against the appellants. Finding upon substantial question of law No. 2. 11. Submission of learned Advocate appearing on behalf of the appellants that learned trial Court committed grave illegality by way of not appointing Local Commissioner in the present case is also rejected being devoid of any force for the reason hereinafter mentioned. It is well settled law that the onus to prove the case is upon the party who asserts particular facts as per Section 101 of the Indian Evidence Act. It is also well settled law that Court is not under legal obligation to create evidence in favour of any party. No reason has been assigned by the appellants as to why the appellants did not obtain any demarcation report from the competent authority of law as per HP Land Revenue Act. It is well settled law that concurrent findings of facts based upon material available on record should not be interfered. No reason has been assigned by the appellants as to why the appellants did not obtain any demarcation report from the competent authority of law as per HP Land Revenue Act. It is well settled law that concurrent findings of facts based upon material available on record should not be interfered. Hence substantial question of law No. 2 is answered against the appellants. It is held that learned trial Court and learned first appellate Court have not wrongly misinterpreted and have not mis-appreciated the evidence and law in the present case. It is held that as per jamabandi Ext. P-1 placed on record for the year 1993-94 at the time of institution of suit Smt. Vidya Devi widow of Surat Singh was recorded as owner in possession of suit property. Jamabandi Ext. P-1 for the year 1993-94 prepared by public official in discharge of official duty will form part and parcel of judgment. It is well settled law that concurrent findings of facts of learned trial Court and learned first appellate Court based upon material available on record should not be interfered unless same are perverse or contrary to law. See: Goppulal Vs. Thakurji Shriji Shriji Dwarakadheeshji and Another, (1969) 1 SCC 792 . See: Krishna Mohan Kul @ Nani Charan Kul and Another Vs. Pratima Maity and Others, AIR 2003 SC 4351 . See: R.V.E. Venkatachala Gounder Vs. Arulmigu Viswesaraswami AIR 2003 SC 4548 and V.P. Temple and Another, and also See: M.S.V. Raja and Another Vs. Seeni Thevar and Others, (2001) 6 SCC 652 . In the present case findings of learned trial Court and learned first appellate Court qua findings of facts are not perverse and are not contrary to law but based upon records of right prepared by public official in discharge of official duty under HP Land Revenue Act which remained un-rebutted on record due to non-examination of public official who prepared record. The judgment and decree passed by learned trial Court and learned first appellate Court are upheld. 12. In view of the above stated facts appeal fails and is hereby dismissed so also the pending application(s) if any leaving the parties to bear their own costs.
