The suit was resisted on various grounds, among others that no such sustain existed. The learned Munsif decreed the suit. On appeal the Second Additional Judge allowed the appeal He held that these payments in kind were a seas within the meaning of Section 56 of the Land Revenue Act (Local Act III of 1901) and that as they had not been recorded by the Recording Officer at the last Settlement, they could not under the terms of that section be recovered in a Civil or Revenue Court. He, therefore, allowed the appeal and dismissed the suit.
2. The plaintiffs some here in second appeal and they argue that this payment is not a cess within the meaning of the Land Revenue Act but something payable to the Zemindars under a custom such as might be included in the term "Rasum Zemindari." The suit was brought in the Court of the Munsif. It is, therefore, clear that the plaintiffs did not treat it as rent. They rely ou the Full Bench ruling of Muhammad Faiyaz Ali
