DATE : 2nd MAY, 2023
P.C.:
1. The Applicant has challenged the judgment and decree
dated 13.10.2022 passed by the 1st Additional Principal Judge,
City Civil Court at Bombay, Borivali Division, Dindoshi,
Mumbai in S.C. Suit No.2486/2012. By the impugned order,
said S.C. Suit No.2486/2012 was decreed in favour of the
Plaintiffs and the Defendant was ordered to hand over
possession of the suit room as described in paragraph-1 of the
plaint within two months from the date of that order. The
present Applicant is the original Defendant and the Respondent
Nos.1 to 3 are the legal representatives of the original Plaintiff.
2. Learned counsel for the Applicant submitted that in the
plaint the suit property was described as room
No.RNM/95/S/89/R situated at Shivaji Nagar, LM Road,
Borivali (West), Mumbai. However, the Applicant was in
occupation of room No.38 and not room No.95. In fact he had
lodged FIR vide C.R. No.166/2012 under Sections 342, 427,
504, 506 read with 34 of IPC at MHB Colony Police Station.
It was the contention of the Plaintiff that he was dispossessed
by the present Applicant/Defendant with the help of police
illegally based on some false allegations on 11.7.2022. The
Plaintiff's case was that he had given said room for occupying

to the Applicant who had inducted one Sharma illegally in the
said room. Said Sharma handed over possession to the
Plaintiff on 1.7.2012 and when the Plaintiff was supervising
the work of interior he noticed that the Applicant/Defendant
had constructed the mezzanine floor illegally. The Applicant
lodged a false complaint against the Plaintiff and with the help
of police he was dispossessed.
3. Learned counsel for the Applicant submitted that the
suit property is not properly described in the plaint and the
evidence shows that the FIR was lodged in respect of room
No.38. The Applicant was in possession of Room No.38 and
the original Plaintiff was taking wrong advantage of his suit
and was trying to dispossess the Applicant from room No.38
though his own case is that he wanted possession of room
No.95.
4. Considering these submissions, it is necessary to hear
the Respondents. Learned counsel for the Applicant has made
out a case for grant of ad-interim relief.
5. Hence, the following order :
:: O R D E R ::
i. Issue notice to the Respondents, returnable on 29.8.2023.
Till then, there shall be ad-interim relief in terms of prayer clause-4.
ii. Stand over to 29.8.2023.
