JUDGMENT

1. Md. Ruhul Amin, J :- Petitioners seek review of the judgment dated April 5, 2003

rejecting the Civil Petition for Leave to Appeal No. 632 of 2002 which was filed against the judgment and decree of a single Bench of the High Court division in Second Appeal No. 205 of 1979 allowing the same.

2. Plaintiff-Respondent filed suit, Title Suit No. 151 of 1967, seeking declaration of title

and confirmation of possession in respect of the land measuring 3.75 acres which he acquired in exchange of his property in India. It was the case of the plaintiff that he is in possession of the land in suit since 1356 B.S and that during R.S operation defendants managed to get the land in suit recorded in their names and on the basis of the said wrong recording raised claim in respect of the land in suit and also threatend the plaintiff to dispossess from the land in suit.

3. The suit was contested by the defendants stating, inter alia, that by an oral exchange in

1356 B.S defendant No. 8 got the property in suit and that thereafter a power of attorney was executed by the wife of Hajarilal Modal, who owned the property in suit in favour of the defendant No.8 and on the basis of the said power of attorney defendant No.8 executed a deed of exchange in the form of sale deed on June 2, 1955 in favour of his wife and sons (defendant Nos. 5-7) and that defendant Nos. 14 have purchased the suit land from the defendant Nos. 5-7 by different kabalas and are in possession of the land in suit.

4.The trial Court decreed the suit. The defendants filed appeal, Title appeal No. 125 of

1970 and the same was allowed by the judgment and decree dated 13.7.1972. There from

plaintiff respondent went on appeal, Second Appeal No. 205 of 1979 and the same was

allowed by the High Court Division.

5. At the time of hearing of the petition for leave to appeal it was submitted that as the

appellate court upon scrutinizing the materials on record came to the conclusion that the

exchange deed Ext. A of the defendants was a bonafide document and as such the High Court Division in second appeal erred in law “in holding that no fraud practiced by the plaintiff respondent”.

6. This Division upon perusal of the materials on record arrived at the finding that in

making the judgment the High Court Division did not commit any illegality and that there is no such infirmity in the judgment of the High Court Division calling for interference and thereupon dismissed the petition for leave to appeal.

7. Grounds raised in support of the petition for review have been considered by this

Division while rejecting the petition for leave to appeal. The learned Counsel could not make out any case of review of the judgment dated April 5, 2003. In that view of the matter we find no substance in the petition. Accordingly the review petition is dismissed.
