JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) This is defendants' appeal filed under Section 100 of the
Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, against the judgment and decree
dated 31.3.2006 rendered by the learned Additional District Judge,
Jhajjar. The learned first Appellate Court has reversed the
judgment and decree, dated 10.12.2001, passed by the learned
Civil Judge (Senior Division) Jhajjar, whereby the suit for declaration
filed by the plaintiff-respondents was dismissed.
(2.) It is apposite to mention that after noticing the factual
position and hearing the rival contentions of the parties, this Court
came to the conclusion that no substantial question of law arises in
the present appeal and the same was accordingly dismissed vide
order dated 14.7.2006. Thereafter, the defendant-appellants filed
SLP No. 16370 of 2006, which was converted into Civil Appeal No.
6153 of 2008. On 17.10.2008, their Lordships' of Hon'ble the
Supreme Court passed the following orders:
" In this case, R.S.A. No. 2573 of 2006 filed by the
appellants herein came to be dismissed by the High
Court in limine under an erroneous impression as if there
was a concurrent finding by two courts below. This is
factually erroneous. The trial court had dismissed the
suit filed by respondent no. 1. The said suit was,
however, decreed by the lower appellate court in first
appeal.
For the afoorestated reasons, the impugned order
is set aside. R.S.A. No. 2573 of 2006 stands restored to
the file of the High Court for consideration in accordance
with law."
(3.) After hearing learned counsel for the parties, I am of the
opinion that the only correction which needs to be made in the
order dated 14.7.2006 passed by this Court is in that part where
this Court has recorded that " Both the courts decreed the suit of
the plaintiff-respondent and the appellants have now filed this
regular second appeal against the judgments and the decrees of
the courts below." It should be construed to read that the trial
Court had dismissed the suit of the plaintiff-respondents whereas
the first Appellate Court had decreed the suit by allowing the
appeal preferred by the plaintiff-respondents on the ground that the
consent decree required registration.;
