JUDGMENT

The case has been returned by the Custodian with his finding that the appellants were entitled to retain possession of the suit land pending payment of the additional charges over the land created after 1901 to the extent of Rs. 399‑2. This finding of the Custodian is conclusive on the point.

This disposes of the only point raised in the appeal which must consequently be allowed. The orders passed by the Courts below are hereby set aside in consequence and the appellants put back into possession through the Custodian. In the circumstances of the case the parties will be left to bear their own costs throughout.

K. M. A. Appeal accepted.
