JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) THE petitioner is aggrieved by the order dated 18.2.2013 passed by the Civil Judge (JD) and Judicial Magistrate First Class, Bonli, District
Sawaimadhopur, whereby the learned Magistrate has rejected the
objections raised by the petitioner with regard to the Commissioner's
report dated 26.4.2012.
(2.) THE brief facts of the case are that the petitioner had filed a civil suit for permanent injunction against the respondent -defendants regarding a
Bara described in para 2 of the plaint. According to the petitioner, the
Bara was under his possession since the time of his father. But the
respondent -defendants are trying to interfere with his peaceful possession
of the said Bara. In the site plan (nazri naksha) the Bara was with letters
'A, B, C, D', and land around the Bara admeasuring 30'x60' which were
shown in Hindi letters ', , , '. During the course of the proceedings
the petitioner moved an application for appointment of a Commissioner.
By order dated 25.4.2012 the learned Magistrate appointed a
Commissioner. In turn, the Commissioner issued notice to both the
parties to be present on 26.4.2012 at 4:00 PM along with their respective
counsel. The report was submitted before the Court on 27.4.2012. The
petitioner filed an application challenging the veracity and validity of the
Commissioner's report. However, by order dated 18.2.2013 the learned
Magistrate has dismissed the said objections. Hence this petition before
this Court.
Mr. Girish Khandelwal, the learned counsel for the petitioner has vehemently contended that according to the instructions issued by the
learned Magistrate the Commissioner was supposed to submit his report
merely with regard to the land around the Bara marked as ', , , ' and
with regard to the Bara marked as 'A, B, C, D'. However, the learned
Commissioner has overstepped his jurisdiction; he has shown the
inhabitation around the disputed land. He has shown the land belonging
to Rajendra Meena and Satyanarayan Meena. Since there is already a
dispute between the petitioner and Satyanarayan Meena, the latter may
misuse the Commissioner's report in order to buttress another suit which is
pending between the petitioner and him. Therefore, according to the
learned counsel, it seems that the Commissioner has been won over by
Satyanarayan Meena. Hence the Commissioner has gone beyond his brief
and has included the areas in his report, which he was not supposed to
deal with.
(3.) HEARD the learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the documents submitted along with the petition as well as examined the
impugned order dated 18.2.2013.;
