body of the petition or mould the relief appropriately.

much beyond the land for which lease was granted.

or not.

6.

Mr. Lalit Sharma, learned counsel for the respondent submits that if petitioner’s mother has a valid subsisting lease in her favour, then petitioner

and his mother shall not be removed from the land to the extent of the lease.
