Judgment 3 wp712.17.odt
3. The original defendants (Public Trust and its trustees) have challenged the judgment and order passed by the subordinate Courts concurrently upholding the claim of the respondent/ plaintiff for grant of temporary injunction, restraining the defendants from interfering with her possession over the suit land / property.
4. The plaintiff filed civil suit praying for decree for declaration that she is tenant of defendants and has right to use the suit property until dispossessed by due process of law. The plaintiff prayed for decree for injunction restraining the defendants from interfering with her possession over the suit property. The plaintiff also prayed for other ancillary reliefs. In this civil suit the plaintiff filed an application praying for temporary injunction restraining the defendants from interfering with her possession over the suit property and further restraining the defendants from demolishing the structure standing over the suit property. The defendants opposed the claim of the plaintiff. After considering the rival submissions, the learned trial Judge recorded that the plaintiff has prima-facie proved that she is in possession of the suit property since 2009 and granted temporary injunction as sought by the plaintiff. The appeal filed by the defendants challenging the above order is dismissed.
