THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE B.KRISHNA MOHAN
SECOND APPEAL No.755 OF 2019
JUDGMENT :
The present Second Appeal arises against the Judgment in
A.S.No.22 of 2018 on the file of the Senior Civil Judge, Punganur, dated
16.10.2019 confirming the Judgment and Decree in O.S.No.114 of 2009
on the file of the Principal Junior Civil Judge, Punganur, dated
29.09.2018.
2. The appellants herein are the appellants before the lower
appellate Court and defendants in the suit before the trial Court. The
respondent herein is the respondent before the lower appellate Court
and plaintiff in the suit before the trial Court.
3. Heard the learned counsel for the appellants and the learned
counsel for the respondent.
4. The suit is filed by the plaintiff for declaration of her right and
title over the suit 'B' schedule property shown as 'DEFG' in the plaint
sketch and recovery of vacant possession of the same and grant of
permanent injunction restraining the defendants and their men from
interfering with her possession and enjoyment over the suit 'A' schedule
property shown as 'ABCDGF' in plaint sketch and costs. The said suit
was contested by the defendants and the trial Court framed the
following issues :
- 2-
(1) Whether the plaintiff is entitled for declaration of title and recovery of possession of suit 'B' schedule property shown as 'DEFG' portion in rough sketch annexed to the plaint ?
(2) Whether the plaintiff is entitled for grant of permanent injunction against the defendants for the property shown as 'ABCDGF' portion in rough sketch annexed to the plaint?
(3) To what relief ?
5. In the trial, PWs.1, 2 and 3 were examined for the plaintiff and
Exs.A1 to A6 were marked for the plaintiff. On behalf of the defendants
DWs.1 to 3 were examined and Exs.B1 and B2 were marked. The
advocate commissioner was examined as CW1 and Ex.C1 to Ex.C5 were
also marked. After considering the case on merits basing on the
material available on record, the trial Court came to a conclusion that
the plaintiff proved that she got Ac.0.68½ cents in suit survey number
and the boundaries shown in Ex.A2 are tallying with the suit schedule
boundaries. Hence, the plaintiff is entitled for declaration of her title
over 'B' schedule property shown as 'DEFG' in the plaint sketch.
Consequently, the suit was decreed declaring the right and title of the
plaintiff over the suit 'B' schedule property and ordered recovery of
possession of the same within three (3) months from the date of its
Judgment by further granting permanent injunction against the
defendants, restraining them to interfere with the peaceful possession
of the plaintiff after delivery of possession by Judgment and Decree,
dated 29.09.2018. Aggrieved by the same, the defendants preferred an
- 3-
appeal in A.S.No.22 of 2018 on the file of Senior Civil Judge at Punganur
and the lower appellate Court further considering the case on merits
came to a conclusion that the evidence of appellants/defendants
coupled with the commissioner's report establishes that 'B' schedule
property is in possession and enjoyment of the defendants over which
they have no legal valid title to continue and enjoy the same and the
'B' schedule property is a part of suit 'A' schedule property, on which
the respondent/plaintiff has got title and as such the plaintiff is
entitled to recover 'B' schedule property from the possession of the
defendants.
6. Upon the said conclusion/finding the lower appellate Court
confirmed the Judgment and decree of the trial Court vide its Judgment
dated 16.10.2019. Subsequently, the unsuccessful defendants filed the
present Second Appeal before this Court seeking indulgence of this
Court, assailing the concurrent Judgments of the Courts below.
7. Having regard to the facts and circumstances and perusal of the
Judgments of the Courts below, this Court is of the firm opinion that it
doesn't require any interference with the reasoning assigned by the
Courts below on the right of the plaintiff for her declaration of the 'B'
suit schedule property and recovery of vacant possession of the same
from the defendants and as such, the Second Appeal is dismissed with
no costs. However, the appellants herein/defendants shall vacate the
'B' suit schedule property by handing over the delivery of possession to
the respondent/plaintiff within three (3) months from the date of
- 4-
receipt of a copy of this Judgment, if not already vacated and
delivered.
As a sequel, miscellaneous petitions, if any pending in the Second
Appeal, shall stand closed.
