The following substantial questions of law arise for determination and consideration :-

(b) Whether the learned first Appellate Court has committed a substantial error of law by not re-appreciating the evidence and law as mandated under Section 96 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 while deciding the Appeal?

(c) Whether the learned trial Court had committed a substantial error of law by reducing the burden of proof on the landlord where the plaintiff had failed to adduce any evidence to show that the open land was rented out?

(d) Whether the learned Appellate Court committed a substantial error of law by not framing proper points of determination as mandated under Order 41 Rule 31 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908?
