Judgment
It is argued before us that the facts admitted show prima facie that the plaintiff is entitled to recover possession and the defendants have failed to
rebut the presumption in favour of the plaintiff. The plaintiff is one of the Agraharamdars who obtained the village on Inam from the Nuzvid
Zamindar. The presumption therefore is that they have only the melvaram rights. The origin of the defendant''s tenancy is not shown and it is clear
they have been in possession for a very long time. The plaintiff has however produced two muchilikas executed by the defendants in the two suits
in which they admit they have no occupancy right. It is not however contended that they estop the defendants from setting up their occupancy right.
The judge has taken them into consideration and found that the terms in these documents were newly introduced and therefore not of sufficient
weight to rebut the presumption in the defendant''s favour arising from the other circumstances in the cases. The other evidence also supports the
plaintiff''s contention. But the question is one of fact, and we are unable to say the judge has not considered the whole evidence We feel therefore
constrained though with some hesitation to confirm the judgment and dismiss the second appeals.
