JUDGEMENT
Prakash Tatia, J. -
(1.) Heard learned counsel for the parties. Perused the application
under Order 1 Rule 10 CPC. In a suit filed by
the plaintiff-respondent decree was granted
against the appellant-defendant, which was
challenged by the appellant by filing the present
appeal. The stay petition was dismissed by this
court against the execution of the decree. It is
mentioned in the application under Order 1
Rule 10 CPC that the land belongs to the State
Government and, therfore, plaintiff was not
entitled to claim compensation or interest
thereon and it is admitted in the application
that documents could not be placed on record
regarding the land in dispute in the name of
State Government and the issue No. 2 was
decided against the appellant. It is mentioned
in the application that the appellant intimated
the Collector, Jodhpur and requested to intimate appellant as per revenue record as to
whether State of Rajathan has any right, interest or claim regarding the disputed land or
not. This letter was sent, to the District Collector on 20th April, 2001 whereas the decree
was passed on 20th July, 2000. The appellant stated in application that appellant received
communication dated 25th, July, 2001 from
the Collector, Jodhpur stating that the land in
dispute is not in Khatedari of anybody and it is
shown in the name of UIT, Jodhpur. The
correspondence was placed on record by the appellant
alongwith this application and, therefore, it is submitted that the State Government
does have substantial interest in the land and
building in dispute and, therefore, it is prayed
that State of Rajasthan through Collector,
Jodhpur may be impleaded as party respondent No. 7.
(2.) According to learned counsel for the
appellant, the appellant though failed to prove
the issue before the trial court and also failed
to produce the documents but upon enquiry
they found that the State interest are involved.
The submission on behalf of the appellant is
very strange and it appears that the application is not at all bona fide. The decree was
passed as back as on 20th July, 2000 and the
present appeal was filed on 18th Oct., 2000
and that the stay was dismissed on 28th March,
2001 and, thereafter, it appears that to frustrate the
claim under the decree of the respondent the letter dated 20th April, 2001 was sent
to the Collector, Jodhpur by the appellant for
the reason best known to the appellant and.
that too, after dismissal of the stay petition.
Despite all letters starting from 20th April,
2001, none of the party mentioned in the
application initiated any proceeding to be
impleaded as party in this appeal despite knowledge of
the appeal and the appellant has moved
this application to implead the State of
Rajasthan as party as though the appellant has
taken over to look after the interest of the third
party and, that too, it was not a party in the
suit before the trial court. The appellant also
failed to submit any of the grounds how the
State Government is necessary party in appeal
when neither the State Government nor
the appellant tried to make any submission for
impleading the State as party before the trial
court. The application is absolutely misconceived
and lacks bonafide, therefore, the same
is rejected.
(3.) Heard learned counsel for the parties
on second stay petition filed on the basis of
the alleged communication written by the District Collector,
Jodhpur. The earlier stay petition was dismissed by this court and the present
stay petition is absolutely misconceived and
ba^ed upon so-called communication of District Collector and that communication was
invited by the appellant itself, therefore, there
is no ground for stay of execution of the decree.
Hence, the second stay petition is dismissed.
Application rejected.;
