Learned counsel for the petitioners states that he would not like to question the transfer of the area to the respondents or anybody else and would confine his claim to the area which has been ordered to vest in the Government. It could not have been so ordered because it stood transferred to the petitioners' predecessor-in-interest long ago and there was no justification to deprive them thereof without being given to anybody else either. 3. Contention raised requires consideration. Leave is granted. Security in the sum of Rs.5,000. Status quo shall be maintained in the meanwhile. Appeal to be processed on present record. Parties may file additional documents if they so choose.
