JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) The defendant is in appeal.
A suit for permanent injunction was filed by the
plaintiffs claiming that they were joint owners of Plot No.38 and
the defendants had no right to interfere in the said plot.
The defendant contested the suit and claimed that the
dimensions given by the plaintiff with regard to plot No.38 were
wrong. It was specifically maintained by the defendant that
although plot No.38 belongs to the plaintiffs but its measurement
were 633 square yards.
(2.) The learned trial Court decreed the suit filed by the
plaintiffs by ignoring the dimensions given by them but held that
plot No.38 measuring 633 square yards was the ownership of the
plaintiffs and they were in possession thereof. Consequently, the
RSA NO.3891 of 2005 -2-
defendants were restrained not to interfere in the aforesaid plot in
any manner.
(3.) The defendant took up the matter in appeal. The
learned First Appellate Court re-examined the entire evidence and
came to the similar conclusions. However, it appears that in the
judgment certain observations have been made which might
prejudice the interest of the defendant. The relevant portion of
the judgment of the learned First Appellate Court reads as under:
"15. If the calculation is made on the basis of the
dimensions claimed by the parties towards eastern
side, in view of the defendant the eastern side is
measuring 69 feet. His claim is admitted to be correct
within the area of the plot No.38 comes to 633
square yards and if the eastern side of the plot is
taken as 89 feet long then it shall come to near about
727 sq. yards. Therefore, the ld. Lower court has
rightly considered the eastern side of the plot at 69
feet because the plaintiffs are well within their rights
to remain in possession of plot No.38 measuring 633
sq. yards. In this way, the lawful possession of the
plaintiffs over the plot No.38 measuring 633 sq.
yards deserves to be protected from any
encroachment or interference.
16. Thus, it is held that plaintiffs are owners in
possession of the land comprised in plot No.38
measuring 633 sq. yards whereas, the
defendant/appellant is in possession of the land
measuring 136 sq. yards comprised in plot
No.39/458. None of the party has any right to
interfere in the ownership and possession of each
other. It has rightly been held by the ld. Lower court
that defendant has no right to interfere in the plot of
the plaintiffs or to dispossess them therefrom
forcibly and illegally.";
