Upon perusal of C.S. Khatian No.40, it appears that land measuring 87 decimal under Dag No. 302 along with other lands in several Dags were recorded in the name of Karim Baksh.

Karim Baksh and Sheikh Monuruddin sold the said land to Paia Gazi vide Deed of Sale No. 2299 dated 29.02.1928. After the death of Paia Gazi his son Peskar Ali became owner of the land by way of succession. In the S.A. operation the land measuring 82 decimal under Dag No. 302 was recorded in the name of Peskar Ali. And in the R.S. operation land measuring 82 decimal under Dag No. 547 was also recorded in his name.

  • land measuring 36.50 decimal from minor Khan Mehzabin Khan represented by her mother Mrs. Monwara Akmal Khan vide Deed of Sale No. 498 dated 04.02.1987.

We have not been provided with permission from the Court showing that Mrs. Monwara Akmal Khan was permitted to sell her daughter’s (minor) land.

Please note that from the Deed of Sale Nos. 497, 498 dated both 04.02.1987 it appears that S.A. Khatian number is 120 and Hal Khatian is 154, But we found that final S.A. Khatian number is 102.

Mahibur Rahman Chowdhury died leaving behind only wife Mosammat Roushan Ara Chowdhury, daughters Safia Rahman Chowdhury, Afia Rahman Chowdhury,  Halima Rahman Chowdhury, Fatema Rahman Chowdhury and sons Yasin bin-Rahman Chowdhury & Yasir-bin-Rahman Chowdhury who became owners of his land by way of inheritance.

We have not been provided with permission from the Court showing that Mosammat Roushan Ara Chowdhury was permitted to sell the minor’s land.

However, from Deed of Sale No. 21353 dated 04.11.2002 it appears that Mosammat Roushan Ara Chowdhury obtained permission from learned 2nd Assistant Judge and Family Court, Dhaka in the in the Title Suit No. 54/2000.
