JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) THIS second appeal under Section 100 CPC is directed against judgment and decree dated 14.11.2013 passed by
Additional District Judge, Sujangarh, District Churu, whereby,
the judgment and decree dated 28.02.2012 passed by Civil
Judge (Senior Division), Sujangarh has been affirmed and the
cross -objection filed by the respondent has been allowed.
(2.) THE facts in brief may be noticed thus: the plaintiff respondent filed a suit seeking declaration and permanent
injunction against the appellants with the averments that the
plaintiff's Guwadi is situated in Village Salasar for over 40
years, wherein, he lives with his family; on the north -western
corner of the said Guwadi, there is a room, on the western wall
of the said room, there is a 4 X 2 1/2 feet window with doors and
iron bars; outside the window, there is a Government vacant
land, which is part of the way and is a strip land, from the said
vacant land the plaintiff gets light, air and sunlight and above
the window, there is a ventilator also; it was further indicated
that on the western side of his Guwadi, defendants' Guwadi is
situated, the northern boundary of defendants' Guwadi is till
where the said window starts, however, the defendants want to
extent the same so as to encroach on the strip land and close
the plaintiff's window; if defendants raise construction near the
window, the same would result in stopping the light, air and
sunlight and, whereas the plaintiff has right of easement, when
they tried to reason with the defendants, the defendants
refused.
During pendency of the suit, the suit was amended and it was, inter alia, submitted that after filing of the suit, on
12.03.2003 the defendants have raised new construction at the disputed side by raising pillars and putting a roof over it, and on
13.03.2003 they have constructed a brick -wall and has closed the window resulting in stopping of the light, air and sunlight
and, therefore, injunction be issued against the defendants not
to block the light, air and sunlight and further not to raise
construction on the strip land and declare that the plaintiff was
entitled for light, air and sunlight and mandatory injunction for
removal of the wall constructed during pendency of the suit.
(3.) A written statement was filed by the defendants, it was claimed that no room, as claimed was existing at the side as
there are two big iron shutters from before 20 years, if in fact
the room existed, there was no reason to put up big shutter,
there was no Government vacant land or strip land in front of
plaintiff's window. The plaintiff was wrongly seeking to get the
window opened in the name of light, air and sunlight and wants
to destroy the privacy of defendants home and business, which
is adjacent; no cause of action is available; the valuation of the
suit is incorrect, the suit was not within the jurisdiction of the
Court; Gram Panchayat, Salasar is a necessary party and,
therefore, the suit be dismissed.;
