The sanad was treated as a jagir and revenue grant, not as an express transfer of all royal rights, and it did not clearly include pine trees on cultivated or proprietary land. Entries in the Wajib-ul-arz created only a rebuttable presumption under the Punjab Land-Revenue Act, 1887; they did not by themselves create title or prove a surrender of sovereign rights unless the intention was shown in clear and unambiguous terms. Oral and documentary evidence was insufficient. en-us Tue, 23 Oct 1956 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 15 Nov 2017 10:50:54 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=195961 A claim to ownership of pine trees on private lands failed because the claimant could not establish a legally enforceable right derived from former sovereign rights, the 1848 sanad, or later revenue records.
