Appellant No.1 purchased Site Nos. 433 and 432 in the same Survey by registered sale deeds. Allegedly, her name was also mutated in the record of rights. A building plan was submitted by her, which was sanctioned by the authority concerned for construction of a residential house on the said plots. Respondent No.1 having apprehended that Appellant No.1 would raise constructions on Site No. 433, he filed a suit against Appellant Nos.1 and 2, Respondent No.2 and the Authority in the Civil Court inter alia praying for directions to the respondents not to use the Borewell put up in site No. 433 for any purpose for all time to come; and also not to put up any compound wall construction in site No. 433 and also not to change the nature of site in any manner. The Authority sought to acquire 2 Acres 20 Gunthas of land of Survey No.15/1 by a notification dated 28.10.1971. The land in question was said to be belonging to two persons, namely, 'V' and 'B', and accordingly an award was made in their favour. In the said award again, the northern boundary was shown as part of Survey No.15/1. Later, respondent No.1 filed an application for grant of temporary injunction in the said suit. The Trial Court rejected the application for grant of temporary injunction in the said suit. Aggrieved, Respondent No.1 filed an appeal before the High Court. The High Court, however, opining that a triable case has been made out by respondent No.1, directed maintenance of status quo. Hence the Special Leave Petition. While admitting SLP, this Court vide its order dated 8.3.2007, stayed the impugned order that any construction raised on the site in question will be subject to the result of the appeal and at the risk and cost of the petitioners. Later, a Vacation Bench of this Court by an order dated 21.06.2007 directed maintenance of status quo and the order dated 8.03.2007 permitting construction was recalled.Appellants contended that the High Court committed a serious error in reversing a well-considered judgment of the Trial Court; that the respondents, even as far back in 1992, having not claimed any ownership in respect of Site No. 433, were not entitled to an order of injunction; that the Trial Court had found as of fact that the plaintiff-respondent had failed to show his right, title and interest in respect of Site No. 433; and that as about 80% of the construction is already over, this Court should allow the appellant to complete the same as otherwise y she will suffer irreparable injury.Respondent No.1 submitted that it is incorrect to contend that the entire Survey No.15/1 has been acquired, which would be evident from . the fact that the name of the plaintiff's father was shown as owner of the land appertaining to the said Survey No.15/1. |
