In our view, this appeal is now concluded by the concurrent findings of fact arrived at by the High Court as well as by the tribunals below on the question whether the appellants were liable to pay batai or chakota under the Punjab Security of Land Tenures Act, 1953.

The appeal is thus dismissed. There will be no order as to costs.
