I have heard learned counsel for the parties and, with the assistance rendered by them, examined the evidence.

The posting of the petitioner as a Patwari of village Bhambholi at the time of sanctioning of mutations Ex.P1 and Ex.P2, stands proved from the testimonies of PW1 Sukhdev, Patwari and PW2 Ashok Kumar, Tehsildar. While being posted as Patwari, the petitioner not only removed mutation No.917 Ex.P1 from the Parat Patwar but also knowingly, did not make entry of the said mutation in the jamabandi for the year 1990-91 or in the earlier jamabandi so as to make the record upto date. The mutation Ex.P1 was lateron traced out not from Parat Patwar but from Parat Sarkar(record of mutation kept at Tehsil headquarter) as depicted by endorsement in red ink thereon.
