JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) This second appeal has
arisen out of a suit for permanent
injunction. The case as made out in the plaint
is inter alia as follows :
The suit property is a "Pirothan" property
of Pir Gorachand Saheb and the predecessor
of the plaintiffs Ahid was the shebait
of the suit property. The lands in the suit
khatian were divided amongst the shebaits
and all the shebaits were possessing those
lands by demarcating boundaries. Ahid was
possessing the suit property by demarcating
boundaries within the knowledge of other
shebaits. The plaintiffs have also been possessing
the suit property since the time of
deceased Ahid. The suit plot is homestead
land There are three huts upon .03 decimals
of land in the suit plot and Ahid used
to live there with his family. The said .03
decimals of land have been recorded in the
name of the plaintiffs in present L. R.
Khatian. The plaintiffs have been possessing
the remaining .12 decimals of land in
the suit plot since the time of their predecessor.
The suit plot was never possessed
by any other persons except Ahid and the
present plaintiffs. Besides that the plaintiffs
have two dwelling huts, one cow-shed and
one kitchen in the suit plot. There are some
coconut and baha trees on the suit land and
the plaintiffs are enjoying the usufruct of
those trees since the time of their predecessor.
The defendants are residing in R. S. Plot
No. 59, Khatian No. 309 and they have no
right and title in the suit plot No. 59. The
defendants are trying to trespass into the
suit land and trying to cut trees from the
suit plot and are also trying to change the
nature and character of the suit property.
The cause of action arose on 1-3-1985 when
the plaintiffs came to know about doing of
illegal acts of the defendants. Accordingly
the plaintiffs filed the instant suit for permanent
injunction.
(2.) The defendant No. 2 contested the suit
by filing written statement and denied material
allegations made out in the plaint contending
inter alia that the suit is not maintainable
and the suit is barred by limitation
under Section 34 of the Specific Relief Act.
The defence in brief is that the "Pirothan"
property are not personal properties of the
Shebaits. The pirothan property was recorded
in Khatian No.1 in C.S.R.O. R. and
R.S.R.O.R. The plaintiffs can't file this suit
on personal capacity. In R.S.R.O.R. 12 decimals
of land out of 15 decimals of land in
the suit Plot No.59, Khatian No. 309 were
recorded and the remaining .03 decimal of
land were recorded in separate Khatian No.
271. The suit property is not properly described
in the plaint as well as in the petition
for temporary inunction. There was only
1 hut to the southern side of the suit plot
upon .03 decimals of land. Ahid never possessed
12 decimals of land in the suit plot
excepting that .03 decimals of land. The
defendants hae been possessing 12 decimals
of land in the suit plot since the time of their
predecessor. Hebaludding possessed the
entire 15 decimals of land in the suit plot
and his name was recorded in C.S.R.O. R.
Hebaluddin gave .03 decimals of land to Ahid
to live in there when Ahid came from another
place and requested Hebaluddin to
give some land to live in there. There was
demarcating fencing between .03 decimals
and . 12 decimals of land in the suit plot but
the plaintiffs removed those fencing made
of kacha plants. The defendants are enjoying
fruits of trees in the suit plot. The defendants
are possessing lands in plot No.
60 adjacent to the suit plot and the defendants
are possessing lands in plot No. 60
and 12 decimals of land in the suit plot by
walling those lands or complex area without
any demarcating line and the defendants
are cultivating turmeric in those lands. The
demarcated .03 decimals of land in the suit
plot has been recorded in R.S.R.O.R. in the
name of Ahid in Khatian No. 271 and the
remaining .12 decimals of land were recorded
in khanda Khatian No. 309 but in
column No. 23 due to mistake the names of
all shebaits were mentioned as shebaits in
lieu of Hebaluddin. Hebaluddin gave 12 decimal
of land in the suit plot along with other
properties to his son's wife Arjumanara by
executing a deed of gift and Arjumanara gave
54 decimals of land including 12 decimals
of land in the suit plot to this defendant by
executing a deed of gift on 3-10-1985 and
they are living there. A case u/S. 144, Cr.P.C.
was filed by the plaintiffs against the defendants
but after the enquiry the case was
dismissed. The case is filed on false allegations
and it is liable to be dismissed with
costs.
(3.) On the above pleadings made by the
parties the learned trial Judge framed the
following issues :
1) Have the plaintiffs any cause of action
for this suit ?
2) Is the suit maintainable in its present
form ?
3) Are the plaintiffs entitled to the injunction
as prayed for ?
4) Are the plaintiffs entitled to get decrees
as prayed for ?
5) To what other decree if any, are the
plaintiffs entitled.;
