We present analyses of archival X-ray data obtained from the XMM-Newton satellite and op-
tical (photometric + polarimetric) data obtained from 1.04-m Sampuranand telescope (ST) at
Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences (ARIES), Nainital and 1.3-m Devasthal
Fast Optical Telescope (DFOT) located at the Devasthal, Nainital for the candidate magnetic CV
Paloma. From the X-ray data, we report two persistent periods at 156±6 min and 130±4 min, which
we interpreted as the orbital and spin period which are strongly indicated in the power spectrum
of the time series. We also interpreted Paloma is a key object for magnetic CV evolution with an
orbital period right within the period gap. Photometric and Polarimetric observations of ten mag-
netic CVs were also carried out in 84 nights from ST and DFOT at ARIES , among all these CVs
we present the photometric results of the five candidates 2MASSJ0130+6221, 2MASSJ0345+5335,
RXJ0749-0549, RXJ0859+0537 and 1RXSJ1858+4914. Three of the systems 2MASSJ0130+6221,
RXJ0749-0549 and RXJ0859+0537 was found to be eclipsing from photometric data and have
orbital periods above the CV period gap of 2-3 h.
