Later on, the respondent started claiming himself to be the owner of the suit land and filed a suit for permanent injunction on the basis of alleged forged Will of Jai Singh and obtained an ad-interim injunction against the plaintiff on 21.5.1974. The plaintiff-petitioner also filed a suit for possession of the suit land on 21.8.1974. Both the suits were consolidated.
