JUDGEMENT
CHANDRASHEKHAR, J. -
(1.) Seeking a direction upon the respondents restraining them from interfering with the petitioner's possession over the land
comprised in Plot No. 922 under Khata no. 32, the present writ petition
has been filed.
(2.) The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has instituted Title (P) Suit No. 25 of 2014 against respondent nos. 7 and 8.
The suit has been admitted and summons have been issued to respondent
nos. 7 and 8 who are defendants in the partition suit. It is contended
that the respondent nos. 7 and 8 fraudulently mortgaged the land in
question to the respondent-United Bank of India and obtained loan. The
petitioner came to know about the same through the newspaper report
published on 22.06.2015 and, he submitted a representation to the Deputy
Commissioner disclosing filing of the partition suit. Relying on decision
in "Harshad Govardhan Sondagar v. International Assets Reconstruction
Company Limited and others", (2014) 6 SCC 1, the learned counsel for the
petitioner submits that the petitioner has right, title and interest over
the land in question and therefore, before Title (P) Suit No. 25 of 2014
is finally decided, possession of the suit land cannot be taken by the
respondent-United Bank of India.
(3.) A perusal of the documents on record would disclose that the petitioner is son of respondent no. 7 and respondent no. 8 is his
brother. Partition suit has been filed for share in the land comprised
in khata no. 32, plot no. 922, area 8 decimal. The petitioner has brought
on record a public notice dated 19.03.2014 issued by him however, he has
claimed that he came to know about the loan taken by the respondent nos.
7 and 8 through, newspaper report dated 22.06.2015 which apparently is a false plea taken by him. In the writ petition except asserting that he
has filed Title (P) Suit No. 25 of 2014 and he issued public notice in
the newspaper on 19.03.2014, the petitioner has failed to aver any other
relevant fact. In the partition suit also, the petitioner has not averred
when construction was made over the suit property. The petitioner has not
disclosed when the loan was taken from the United Bank of India. By
filing the partition suit, the petitioner has admitted that the suit land
is a joint family property though, whether it is joint family property or
not is a question which can be adjudicated in the partition suit. In the
writ petition, the petitioner has not asserted that the suit property is
the only property belonging to joint family.;
