JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) This revision is directed
against the order dated 10-3-2007 passed
by the Additional District Judge, Faridabad
dismissing the appeal of the present petitioners against an order dated 4-8-2006
passed by the Civil Judge (Sr. Division),
Palwal allowing an application for grant of
injunction under Order 39 Rules 1 & 2 of the Civil Procedure Code.
(2.) The respondent herein filed a suit for
declaration and consequential relief of permanent injunction restraining the present
petitioners from interfering in their possession of agriculture land comprising in
Khewat No. 182/158, Khatoni No. 241/222,
Rect. No. 3, Killa No. 19(3-17) 20(7-7), 21
min (0-13), Rect. No. 11, Killa, No. 1/1 min
Estate (2-0) 10/2 min Estate (2-0), 11/2(1-
4), Khewat No. 74 min/5-7, Khatoni No. 87/
74, Rect. No. 60 Killa No. 12(7-13). The right
to hold the property was on the strength of
a lease deed for a period of 99 years duly
registered with the competent registering
authority. The trial Court vide its order dated
4-8-2006 allowed the interim application.
The appeal preferred against the said order
before the Additional District Judge,
Faridabad was also dismissed vide the impugned
order dated 10-3-2007. The appellate Court vide the impugned order returned
a finding that there is a registered lease deed
dated 9-8-82 for a period of 99 years which
is to expire in the year 2081 and prima facie
the plaintiffs are in possession of the suit
land. It is on the strength of this document
that the appellate Court concurred with the
findings and the conclusion of the trial Court
for the grant of injunction.
(3.) Learned counsel for the petitioners
has vehemently argued that there is no revenue record
to demonstrate the actual physical possession of the lessee over the suit land
and even mutation earlier entered on the
strength of the lease deed has been cancelled. It is accordingly stated that the trial
Court as also the appellate Court have returned the findings which is contrary to law.
I am not impressed by this argument for the
Simple reason that the trial Court was required to consider whether there is a prima
facie case in favour of the plaintiffs or not.
There is a registered document on record
i.e. a lease deed. The document being registered carries evidentiary value, unless it is
rebutted during the course of trial. Prirna
faciea,triable issue has been raised. Therefore,
the finding of the trial Court and that
of the appellate Court cannot be said to be
suffering from any legal infirmity.;
