No.3 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE NARENDRA SINGH DHADDHA Judgment DATE OF JUDGMENT 17/01/2024 The appellant-plaintiff (for short 'the plaintiff') has preferred this second appeal challenging the judgment and decree dated 14.07.2017 passed by the Additional District Judge No.10, Jaipur Metropolitan, Jaipur (for short 'the appellate court') in Civil Regular Appeal No.67/2017, whereby judgment and decree dated 17.03.2017 passed by Additional Civil Judge (East), Jaipur (Downloaded on 28/01/2024 at 07:49:32 PM) [2024:RJ-JP:2604] (2 of 4) [CSA-626/2017] Metropolitan, Jaipur (for short 'the trial court') rejecting the plaintiff's suit was upheld.
Learned counsel for the plaintiff submits that the plaintiff had filed a suit before the trial court for permanent injunction, declaration and recovery of possession in which he stated that defendant No.1 was allotted Plot No.F-28N in Malviya Industrial Area, Jaipur by defendant No.4 but defendant No.4 could not start business. So, he gave the said plot to the plaintiff on rent, where the plaintiff started fabrication business. The defendants had colluded in the matter and took possession of the disputed premises from the plaintiff. Learned counsel for the plaintiff also submits that goods of the plaintiff were also lying in the premises. Learned counsel for the plaintiff also submits that defendant No.4 had filed an application under Order 7 Rule 11 CPC and submitted that as per Section 10A of Rajasthan Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act, 1964, the civil court had no jurisdiction to entertain the present civil suit. Learned counsel for the plaintiff also submits that the trial court as well as appellate court wrongly came to the conclusion regarding jurisdiction of civil court because plaintiff only sought to declare the proceeding dated 10.08.2016 as null and void. Learned counsel for the plaintiff also submits that only civil court can grant the relief of declaration. So, judgment dated 17.03.2017 passed by the trial court and judgment dated 14.07.2017 passed by the appellate court be set aside and trial court be directed to decide the suit filed by the plaintiff as per law.
Learned counsel for the defendants have opposed the arguments advanced by learned counsel for the plaintiff and (Downloaded on 28/01/2024 at 07:49:32 PM) [2024:RJ-JP:2604] (3 of 4) [CSA-626/2017] submitted that the trial court as well as appellate court had not committed any error and the courts below rightly rejected the suit and dismissed the appeal because civil court had no jurisdiction to entertain the present suit/appeal because by way of declaration, plaintiff wanted to declare the proceeding of the Estate Officer as null and void. So, the appeal be dismissed.
I have considered the arguments advanced by learned counsel for the plaintiff as well as learned counsel for the defendants.
It is an admitted position that defendant No.1 had taken disputed premises on lease from defendant No.4. Defendant No.1 had not fulfilled the conditions of the lease deed. So, defendant No.4 had initiated proceeding before Estate Officer under the Rajasthan Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act, 1964. Defendant No.1 had filed an application before Estate Officer to deliver the possession of the disputed premises. Estate Officer had passed the order as per law and possession of the disputed premises was taken over on the basis of order passed by the Estate Officer. As per Section 10A of the Rajasthan Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act, 1964, the civil court had no jurisdiction. By way of present declaratory suit, plaintiff wanted to declare the proceeding of the Estate Officer as null and void which is not permissible as per law. So, in my considered opinion, the trial court as well as appellate court had not committed any error in rejecting the plaint under Order 7 Rule 11 CPC and dismissing the appeal filed by the plaintiff.
So, present appeal being devoid of merit deserves dismissal as no substantial question of law as suggested by counsel for the (Downloaded on 28/01/2024 at 07:49:32 PM) [2024:RJ-JP:2604] (4 of 4) [CSA-626/2017] plaintiff in the memo of appeal does arise nor there is any other substantial question of law in the instant appeal.
The Civil Second Appeal is accordingly dismissed. Pending application(s), if any, stand(s) disposed of.
