The petitioner's claim was that his predecessor-in- interest was granted land in question by the Government on - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:41661-DB WA No. 943 of 2025 30.08.1940. However, the Government had taken the stand that there was no such grant in favour of petitioner's predecessor-in-interest. The petitioner had already filed a Civil Suit in O.S.No.549/2008 seeking a declaration that he has become the owner of the land in question by way of adverse possession. 3. We find no error in the impugned judgment and order and therefore, there is no merit in this appeal and the same is dismissed. Pending Interlocutory Applications, if any, shall stand disposed of.
