ORAL JUDGMENT
(PER: THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE C M JOSHI) Heard learned counsel appearing for the appellant.
2. The appellant/plaintiff had filed the suit for injunction in O.S.No.54/2010 before learned Civil Judge and JMFC, Kalaghatagi. The said suit came to be dismissed on the ground that the specific measurement of the property of the plaintiff was not established and as such, the injunction could not be granted. Aggrieved by the said judgment, the appellant approached the First Appellate Court i.e., Senior Civil Judge and JMFC, Kalaghatagi in R.A.No.95/2014.
3. Despite the Court Commissioner's report was available before the First Appellate Court, it also came to the conclusion that, there is nothing on record to show the measurement of the property owned by the plaintiff and therefore, it would not be possible to ascertain the property so as to grant the injunction. It also observed that no documentary evidence was also available to show possession of the plaintiff. Holding so, the First Appellate Court dismissed the appeal. -4-
NC: 2025:KHC-D:15521 RSA No. 100456 of 2022 HC-KAR
4. The controversy between the parties relates to an open space adjoining the house property of the plaintiff. It is his case that in the open space adjoining the house property of the plaintiff, he has constructed a cow shed and the defendants claiming that the plaintiff do not have any right, title or interest over the same, had tried to demolish the said cowshed and therefore, there was a need for filing a suit for injunction.
5. Per contra, the defendants have contended that they have purchased the property from the erstwhile owners who possessed a larger chunk of the property and as such, there is no such open space belonging to the plaintiff. They contended that the plaintiff was in permissive possession under the grandfather of the defendants and therefore, the plaintiff cannot be held to be entitled for any injunction. In other words, the defendants contended that the plaintiff has no right, title or interest to claim any right in the open space which was the suit property.
6. In light of the above contentions, the Trial Court held that the plaintiff has not proved his lawful possession over the suit schedule property, which is the open space adjoining his -5- NC: 2025:KHC-D:15521 RSA No. 100456 of 2022 HC-KAR house. The Panchayat records which were produced before the Trial Court, did not mention any measurement of the property. Therefore, the Trial Court had come to the conclusion that the suit is liable to be dismissed.
7. The First Appellate Court, though appointed a Court Commissioner, the report was insufficient to establish the measurement and such holding of the plaintiff over the property. What the Court Commissioner did was only to identify the property and make a report which is nothing more than a hand sketch map as prepared by the plaintiff at the time of filing of the suit. Therefore, when the defendants contend that they are the title holders in respect of a larger chunk of the property adjoining the property of the plaintiff, the exact measurement of the property and how the plaintiff came in possession and enjoyment of the same and since how long he is in possession of the property need to be established. It may also be noted that the defendants had raised a question as to whether the plaintiff had the title. In that view of the matter, the First Appellate Court also came to the conclusion that the suit for injunction is not sustainable.

8. In light of the above, there do not exist any substantial question of law which need to be adjudicated by this Court. The scope of Section 100 of Code of Civil Procedure do not permit this Court to go into the factual aspects when the defendants have stoutly denied the right of the plaintiff stating that he is only in a permissive possession. In that view of the matter, no substantial question of law arises in the present appeal and as such, the appeal is dismissed.
