(2.) The Plaintiff Petitioner contends that he filed the Title Suit No. 12 of 2005 against the Defendant Respondents with the following averment which is only relevant for my adjudication:

d) All costs of unit.
e) For such other relief and reliefs the Plaintiff is entitled to under law and equity.
(3.) While admitting the said plaint on 25.01.2005 the learned Court below was pleased to hold that Court fees paid is sufficient, requisites put in and so directed to issue summons upon the Defendants through Court as well as by registered post with acknowledgement due. Thereafter due notice was served upon all the Defendants and while considering an application for further hearing of temporary injunction petition the learned Trial Court on his own accord passed Order No. 22 dated 17.04.2007 in the following terms:
At this stage on perusal of the plaint it appears to me that this is a suit for declaration of a deed as void and for permanent injunction.
It reveals that the instant suit is being filed valued at Rs. 100/- and Court fees paid accordingly.
However, I think for determination of proper Court-fees and valuation of the suit a hearing is necessary.
Accordingly, temporary injunction petition hearing is adjourned today. Fix 28.5.07 for hearing in respect of valuation & Court-fees.;
