JUDGEMENT
M.L.Singhal, J. -
(1.) This is revision
against the order of Additional District Judge,
Narnaul dated 20.7.98 whereby he set aside
the order dated 20.10.97 refusing temporary
injunction to the plaintiff-respondents restraining the defendant-petitioners
from installing another pumping set run by electric motor
on the well in question and further restraining
them from damaging the well in any manner
and from taking water from the well in that
manner.
(2.) Ramesh Kumar etc. plaintiff-respondents instituted suit for permanent injunction
restraining Man Mohan etc. defendant-petitioners
from installing another pumping set run
by electric motor on the well without the consent of the other
co-sharers including the plaintiffs and further restraining them
from damaging the well in any manner and from taking
water from the well in that manner. It was
alleged in the plaint that gairmumkin chah in
land measuring 2 kanals 6 marlas is joint of
the parties and parties are using gaimumkin
chah jointly. Gairmumkin chah and the pumping set is jointly
owned, possessed and used by
the plaintiffs and the other share holders. The
defendants had purchased 1/60 share in the
well from Hanuman co-sharer vide sale deed
No. dated 4.4.95 as such the defendants have
become co-sharers in possession of the well.
Defendants forcibly, illegally and against the
wishes of the plaintiffs and other co-sharers
have threatened to install separate pumping
set run by electric motor after making alteration in the well to
irrigate their land. If defendants install another pumping set on the
gairmumkin chah and run it with electric motor, there will
be irreparable injury to the plaintiff, inasmuch as, they shall not be able to draw
adequate water for the irrigation of their land
from this gafrmumkin chah. Alongwith the
plaint, the plaintiffs made an application for
the grant of temporary injunction to the aforesaid effect.
(3.) Defendants contested the prayer of the
plaintiffs urging that the well in question was
not used by the plaintiffs or any other co-sharers nor there was any water in the well.
For the last several years, well was dry. No
pumping set was ever installed on the well in
question. Well in question was lying abandoned.
It was full of sand. Defendants became co-sharers in the well after purchase of land
through registered sale deed. After purchase
of the land through registered sale deed, defendants requested every share holder for the
repair of the well in question. No co-sharer
agreed to the repair of the well in question.
Defendants got well in question repaired at
huge expense and installed pumping set being
operated through diesel generating set. Defendants
got water through a boring as the digging
of well was uneconomical. It was further urged
that plaintiffs did not have any right to restrain
them from drawing water from this well through
the use of the pumping set.;
