ORAL JUDGMENT :
Rule. Rule made returnable forthwith. Heard finally with
consent of the parties.
2. The petition has been moved purporting to challenge
concurrent orders passed by two courts, one by the trial court, upon an
application for temporary injunction filed by the respondent-plaintiff
granting temporary injunction restraining the present petitioner-
2 WP/ 4151 /2016
defendant from causing interference in the possession of the plaintiff
over the suit property and another by first appellate court in misc. civil
appeal. Since the appeal has failed, the writ petition has been filed by
petitioner-defendant.
3. According to the learned counsel for the petitioner, as a
matter of fact, the status, as claimed by the plaintiff is dubious and as
such, suit property cannot be said to have been
given/inherited/granted or owned by the respondent and the alleged
possession over the same cannot be said to be legitimate. Learned
counsel for the petitioner submits that certain litigations at several
stages before various authorities are going on between the parties.
4. Learned counsel Mrs. Kulkarni, appearing for the
respondent contends that the property has been given to the
respondent by her deceased husband long back and that it was she,
who was looking after the old aged husband. Their marriage had taken
place in 2007. During all the period, till his death, her deceased
husband was being looked after by the present respondent. No other
person including petitioner had turned to him and looked after while he
was ailing and alive. It is being submitted by her that there is
equitable distribution of the properties amongst the heirs left behind by
her deceased husband. Learned counsel for the respondent further
submits that the trial court as well as the appellate court have prima
3 WP/ 4151 /2016
facie found the respondent to be in possession of the property and
have rightly passed the orders. These concurrent findings of facts are
not amenable to be re-opened under Article 227 of the Constitution of
India, since those being not perverse.
5. I find considerable force in the submissions being advanced
on behalf of the respondent/plaintiff. The request made in the writ
petition about setting aside the impugned order is not being
considered. As such, the writ petition stands rejected.
6.
Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that it
would suffice at this juncture if the property is not dealt with by the
respondent/plaintiff.
7. Learned counsel for the respondent submits that the
request now being made in the writ petition about dealing with the suit
property, cannot be considered at this stage, neither the apprehension
that is now being expressed, is supported by any material. If an
occasion arises, such a request may be made by the petitioner before
appropriate forum, which of course would be subject to be decided on
merits. She further submits that there is nothing on record to show
that the property is about to be dealt with. As such the request does
not deserve consideration.
4 WP/ 4151 /2016
8. However, since apprehension has been expressed by the
learned counsel for the petitioner, and that the petitioner is getting
phone calls about the property being dealt with, in such a situation, he
may make appropriate request before the appropriate forum.
9. The observations made hereinabove in this order are made
for the purposes of rejection of the writ petition and would not have
any influence on any other proceedings or in the suit. Rule stands
discharged.
