Section-20(2)(a)(iii)
It appears that a vast tract of land within the reserved forest has been claimed by Abbas Ali Munshi as he plaintiff in Title Suit No. 160 of 1966 on the basis of taking pattan from the ex-landlord in the year 1946. But in that suit he could not produce any supporting evidence of title as claimed. Moreover, in view of the statement made in the plaint that the suit land has been recorded as forest land, the trial court committed an error of law in decreeing the suit, mechanically ex parte without considering the effect of the provisions of the S.A.T. Act, as well as the Specific Relief Act.

Kohinoor Hamid Vs. Abdul Khaleque &Ors. (AD)-172
Section-117(c)
Co-sharer in the joint tenancy
The property was originally owned and possessed by Golam Mortu/a Khan. After his death the petitioner and his three brothers and six sisters inherited. They are living separately —Mutatiion of the Dhaka Municipal Corporation to be valid must be based on an order in writing of the Revenue officer concerned making the joint tenancy subdivided and rents distributed. It cannot be other way round. Separate holding number given by a Municipal Corporation cannot replace an order under Section I 17 (c) of the State \ Acquisition and Tenancy Act. so the heirs of Golam Mortuza Khan must be held to be still enjoying the joint tenancy left by him. Similarly no amicable partition among the cosharers even if reached in writing nor even a decree passed in a partition suit allotting different shares to the co-shares can substitute the order as mentioned in Section 117(c) of the State Acquisition and Tenacity Act. In such view of the legal position as well as the factual position, the court of appeal below was perfectly justified in holding that the joint tenancy of Golam Murtoza khan was never subdivided and the rents were never distributed amongst his heirs, pre-emptor and his brothers and sisters in accordance with law, and thereby the pre-emptor did not cease to be a co sharer in the joint tenancy left by him.
