Learned counsel for the appellants has vehemently argued that there is no factual basis for the court below to come to the conclusion that the plaintiffs were in possession over the land in question and the reliance upon Clause 5 of the alleged agreement for sale for the said purpose was completely uncalled for and barred by the newly amended provisions of the Registration Act. It is submitted that further reliance upon an order passed in 144 Cr.P.C. proceeding shows that the decision is perverse as no issue of possession has been or could have been decided in the said proceedings. Similarly no reliance could have been placed on certain criminal cases filed by the plaintiffs against the defendants-respondents nos. 3 to 5.
