Description:
Entries in the revenue record
ought, generally, to be accepted at their face value and
courts should not embark upon an appellate inquiry in to
their correctness. But the presumption of correctness can
apply only to genuine, not forged or fraudulent, entries.
The distinction may be fine but it is real. The distinction
is that one cannot challenge the correctness of what the
entry is the revenue record states but the entry is open to
the attack that it was Made fraudulently or surreptitiously.
Fraud and forgery rob a document of all its legal effect and
cannot found a claim to possessory title. #pdf
