JUDGEMENT
ASHIM KUMAR BANERJEE, J. -
(1.) THESE five appeals would relate to an order of injunction passed in
the first two applications being GA No. 1336 of 2008 and GA No.
3330 of 2008 and dismissal of the other three applications being GA No. 3814 of 2008, 3234 of 2008 and 3814 of 2008. His Lordship dealt
with and disposed of all the five applications by a common judgement
and order that was impugned herein. We thus dispose of the five
appeals arising out of those five applications by the fore-going
judgement and order.
(2.) THE respondent No. 1 filed a suit being CS No. 83 of 2008 inter-alia praying for removal of the trusties of a private trust being Prayag Devi
Trust. It was alleged, trust was not managed properly and the
Trustees being the defendants No. 1, 2 and 3. Vijay Kumar Agarwal,
Madhu Agarwal and Amit Kumar Agarwal were acting in detriment to
the interest of the beneficiary. They committed breach of trust.
Simultaneously with the filing of the suit, the plaintiff also made
application for appropriate management of the trust properties. There
were several applications that were disposed by a common judgement
and order delivered by the learned Single Judge on August 16, 2010.
The present appeals would however principally relate to the order
passed in GA No. 3330 of 2008 pertaining to Allahabad property that
the defendant would contend, outside the scope of the trust. The
respective memorandum of appeal would however, relate to the
orders passed by His Lordship in respect of all the applications.
Mr. Pratap Chatterjee learned senior counsel, appearing in support of the appeals would contend, the respondent-plaintiff never asked for
injunction in respect of the partition suit pending in the Allahabad
Court. Trust, in any event, was not a party either in the Calcutta suit
or in the partition suit. Hence, the observation of His Lordship with
regard to not making the trust a party in the Allahabad suit was
erroneous. The order of injunction passed in respect of Allahabad
property could thus not be sustained. He would contend, the suit was
in effect a suit for land as it would relate to Allahabad property
situated admittedly outside the territorial jurisdiction of this Court.
(3.) ELABORATING his argument, Mr. Chatterjee would refer to various orders passed by the Allahabad High Court in the writ petition as also
the civil suit filed at Allahabad inter-alia asking for partition of the
Allahabad property that the learned Judge failed to appreciate. He
prayed for setting aside of the judgement and order of His Lordship
and dismissal of the applications made by the plaintiff before the
learned Single Judge.;
