"text": "The plaintiff sues to get possession of a piece of chur land. In the plaint, the case which seems to be made is, that the land is a re-formation upon the site of a former chur which at one time belonged to those through whom the plaintiff claims, but which was subsequently washed away. […] The first issue fixed by the Moonsiff, as stated in his judgment, is, \"whether the chur in dispute is the contiguous accretion to the re-formed lands of Chur Bandaparah and was held in possession by the plaintiff, and his co-sharers.\"",
