The site is his ancestral property and he has raised construction on it. The site is being used for tethering cattle since the time of his forefathers and the plaintiff is also using the same for placing cowdung cakes etc. The defendant Gram Panchayat has no right, title or interest in the said site. On the eastern side of the site in dispute there is Plot No. 119, which, in fact, belongs to the Gram Panchayat. The Gram Panchayat has started the construction of school on plot No. 119, but it wants to encroach the site in dispute which is the ownership of the plaintiff. Hence, the suit was filed. Along with the suit the plaintiff filed an application under Order 39 Rules 1 and 2 C.P.C. vide which it was prayed that the defendant be restrained from interfering in his possession over the suit property during the pendency of the suit.
