-
(1.) THESE writ petitions have been filed by Kailash S/O Shankar Lal and Tulchhi Ram S/O Shankar Lal against the
respondents LRs. of Mohd. Daud and one Mehram S/O Radha
Kishan aggrieved by the order of the first appellate court of the
learned Additional Dist. Judge, Nagaur dtd.18.8.2012 in appeal
No.27/2012 Kailash and anr. V/s LRs. of Mohd. Daud and anr.
and appeal No.26/2012 LRs. of Mohd. Daud V/s Kailash and anr,
whereby the learned first appellate Court rejected the appeal of the
present petitioners plaintiffs Kailash and another and allowed the
appeal of LRs. of Mohd. Daud and anr. V/s Kailash and anr. and
affirming the order of the learned trial Court passed in temporary
injunction application of the plaintiffs dtd.26.6.2012, the learned court
below has on the one hand restrained the petitioners plaintiffs
Kailash and anr from evicting and dispossessing the respondents
Mohd. Daud and Mehram from the land in question, which is 20
bighas and 17 biswas of agricultural land situated in Khasra No.287
in village Budhi, Tehsil and Dist. Nagaur and on other hand, it has
also restrained the defendant Mohd. Daud and others not to alienate
the suit property further and maintain status quo with respect to the
same.
(2.) THE learned counsel for the petitioners plaintiffs Kailash and anr., Mr. R.K. Thanvi, Sr. Advocate submitted that the
land in question was agreed to be sold by Mohd. Daud to Kailash on
10.6.2011. However, conveyance deed in the form of sale-deed could be executed by him only on 14.9.2011, but in the meanwhile, the said
Mohd. Daud however, sold the land in question on 21.6.2011 to the
defendant No.2 Mehram and therefore, on account of such dispute
arising about the title of the property in question, the plaintiffs Kailash
and anr. filed the present suit before the learned court below in which
the temporary injunction application was partly allowed by the learned
trial Court vide order dtd.26.6.2012 and the learned trial Court had
directed the status quo to be maintained and the land in question not
to be sold further, but in the cross appeals filed by both the parties
before the first appellate court of Additional Dist. Judge, Nagaur, the
learned appellate court vide order dtd.18.8.2012 while dismissing the
appeal filed by Kailash and anr. and allowing the appeal filed by
Mohd. Daud and ors. has held that Kailash and ors. will not
dispossess the respondent Daud and Mehram from the land in
question and while the respondent Daud and Mehram will not further
alienate the suit property. He urged that since on 14.9.2011 at that
time of execution of sale-deed, the possession of land in question
was handed over to the plaintiffs appellants, therefore, the learned
first appellate Court was not justified in dismissing the appeal filed by
the petitioners by the impugned order dtd.18.8.2012 and also restrain
them and not to dispossess the respondents LRs. of Mohd. Daud and
Mehram. He also relied upon certain documents, like FIR filed by
LRs. of Mohd. Daud etc. against the present petitioners Kailash and
anr. and submitted that the possession of land in question was
claimed by Mohd. Daud to be with him and not with Mr. Mehram. He
also submitted that the coordinate bench of this Court while
entertaining the present writ petition after hearing the learned
counsels on caveat, Mr. B.S. Sandhu on 29.8.2012 had granted
status quo order in the present writ petition, which deserves to be
maintained during the pendency of the suit itself.
The submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners are strenuously opposed by Mr. B.S. Sandhu and Mr.
Mukesh Rajpurohit appearing for the respondents, who vehemently
submitted that the sale-deed in favour of Mehram was executed on
21.6.2011 and a note to this effect made in the alleged sale-deed made in favour of the present petitioners on 14.9.2011 and therefore,
it cannot be said that the respondents were not in possession of land
in question, who according to them were put in possession with
execution of the sale-deed on 21.6.2011 and therefore, the learned
appellate Court was justified in maintaining the status quo as it
existed on that day vide order dtd.18.8.2012. They therefore,
submitted that interference in such order is not called for in the
present writ petition filed by Kailash and Tulchhi Ram, both sons of
Shankar Lal.
(3.) I have heard the learned counsels at length and perused the impugned orders of the Courts below.;
