7.3 The above observations, however, do not suggest that the appellant has not committed any error. In fact, he has not come to the court with clean hands. On the basis of documents available on record it is amply clear that the land through an agency called "Land Dev. Corporation" had been carved out into the form of plots and sold to several persons who had later on formed a society namely "Indira Enclave". Moreover, the original bhumidars also sold their land to the appellants who constructed a gurudwara. Thus it appears to be true that if the encroachments which had come up on the agricultural land in the shape of plots, built up structures, houses were not demolished, a huge unauthorised colony would have come up by now. It is also true that if all the provisions as laid down u/s 81 of the Act had been followed by the Ld. SDM/RA, Shri C.P. Tripathi or Shri J. K. Dadoo the land would have been vested finally in Gaon Sabha against which no remedy would have been made available. But due to failure on these officers substantial damage has been caused to the credibility of the institution of SDM/RA and also resulted in financial loss to the Gaon Sabha/Dte. of Health Services, who have developed the land and constructed a boundary wall over the land.
