JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) THIS revision petition under Section 115 C.P.C. is directed
against the judgment dated 26.4.2012 passed by Civil Judge (Sr.
Div.), Jaisalmer, whereby the suit filed by respondent -Kisan Lal
under Section 6 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963 ('the Act') has
been decreed and the appellant -defendant has been directed to
handover physical possession of the disputed plot to the plaintiff
within a period of 15 days, however, the relief of permanent and
mandatory injunction has been refused as having merged in the
decree relating to possession. The suit against the defendant
No.2 Municipal Board, Jaisalmer and the cross -objection filed by
the defendant No.1 Brij Ratan Chhangani has been rejected.
(2.) THE facts, in brief, may be noticed thus : the plaintiff Kisan Lal filed a suit on 16.7.2008 under Section 6 of the Act seeking
possession and permanent and mandatory injunction against the
defendant Brij Ratan Chhangani and the Municipal Board,
Jaisalmer with the averment that the plaintiff was in possession
of a plot of land ad -measuring 25' x 50' from 1993 at Gafoor
Bhattha Kacchi Basti, Jaisalmer, which was regularised by the
Municipal Board and on account of plaintiff's possession, a
resolution was passed by the Municipal Board for regularising the
said possession, however, as the land in question was reserved
for dispensary, a request was made to the Municipal Board to
give him another plot of land and regularise the same. It is
claimed that the surveyor of the Municipal Board proposed
regularisation of Plot No.E -73 and subsequent thereto, after
receiving the amount of regularisation from the plaintiff, the
Municipal Board executed allotment letter in favour of the
plaintiff indicating the boundaries and area. It was further
claimed in the plaint that the said Plot No.E -73 was in continuous
possession and title of the plaintiff, however, in the last week of
June, 2008, the defendant trespassed on the said land and
placed stone slabs. Consequently, the plaintiff prayed for
possession of the land from defendant - Brij Ratan Chhangani and
injunction against the Municipal Board not to regularise the land
in favour of defendant No.1.
A written statement was filed by the appellant -defendant contesting the averments made in the plaint. It was denied that
the plaintiff was in possession of the plot of land, which he claims
to have surrendered and was consequently allotted Plot No.E -73.
It was claimed that the plaintiff is a resident of Sanwala Pada at
Jaisalmer where he has his residence, he has purchased a Plot
No.554 from the Municipal Board at Jainarayan Vyas colony in
auction and therefore, the land in question could not have been
allotted to the plaintiff. It was claimed that the defendant was in
possession of Plot No.E -73 and for which the proceedings for
regularisation were pending and amount for regularisation has
been deposited. It was claimed that the allotment letter was
issued against the provisions of law and suppression of material
facts and therefore, the defendant by way of counter claim
sought cancellation of allotment letter.
(3.) A written statement to the counter claim was filed by the plaintiff only and it was prayed that the counter claim be
dismissed.;
