In 1953 Fida Husain, plaintiff-appellant, filed a suit in the court of the Munsif, Allahabad, for a declaration that he was the sirdar of the plots mentioned in the plaint.

Section 27, which provided for reinstatement of certain classes of tenants, was, however, not bodily incorporated in any particular section of the tenancy Act.
