JUDGEMENT
PRASENJIT MANDAL,J. -
(1.) CHALLENGE is to the Order No.100 dated June 13, 2013 passed by the learned Civil Judge
(Senior Division), Sealdah in Title Suit No.6 of 2006
thereby allowing an application under Section 151 of the
C.P.C. filed by the plaintiff for implementation of the
order of injunction.
The plaintiff/opposite party herein instituted the
aforesaid suit for permanent injunction restraining the
defendants from encroaching 'A' and 'A1' schedule of
properties and also from raising any kind of construction
on 'A' and 'A1' schedule of properties and disturbing the
possession of the plaintiff. An order of injunction has
been granted by the First Appellate Court in Misc. Appeal
No.102 of 2006 arising out of that suit. On the
allegation of the plaintiff to the effect that the said
order of injunction is not being complied with by the
defendants, an application under Section 151 of the
C.P.C. filed by the plaintiff was allowed by the impugned
order directing the Officer-in-Charge, Maniktala P.S. to
render necessary police help for the purpose of
implementation of the order of injunction passed in the
Misc. Appeal. Being aggrieved, this application has been
preferred by the defendant no.1.
(2.) NOW , the question is whether the impugned order should be sustained.
Having heard the learned Advocates of both the sides
and on perusal of the materials on record, I find that
the facts as recorded above are correct. The First
Appellate Court allowed the said Misc. Appeal No.102 of
2006 on May 5, 2008 on contests without costs. Both the parties had been directed to maintain status quo in
respect of possession, nature and character of 'A' and
'A1' schedule of properties till the disposal of the
suit. The said order has not been set aside.
Mr. Probal Kumar Mukherjee, learned Advocate appearing for the petitioner, has contended that the
prayer for police help for implementation of the order as
made in the application is not maintainable. If the
plaintiff thinks that the order of injunction in the
nature of status quo has been violated, appropriate steps
may be taken under Order 39 Rule 2A of the C.P.C. and
thus, he has submitted that the impugned order should be
set aside. With due respect to Mr. Mukherjee, I am of
the view that this submission cannot be accepted.
(3.) IN the case of violation of the order of injunction, no doubt, the aggrieved party is at liberty to take
appropriate steps under Order 39 Rule 2A of the C.P.C.
and even appropriate punishment may be awarded against
the person who has violated the order of injunction.
But, in that case, appropriate relief may not be rendered
to the plaintiff to justify the sufferings that the
aggrieved party, i.e., the plaintiff may suffer. In
order to get the relief, the plaintiff may take
appropriate steps under Section 151 of the C.P.C. for
implementation of the order with the help of the police.
Accordingly, I am of the view that the impugned
order does not suffer from any illegality or material
irregularity. There is no scope of interference with the
impugned order.;
