...for the appellant.
The Court: The appeal is at the behest of a plaintiff. Appeal is directed
against the order dated July 25, 2025 passed in GA/2/2022 in CS/218/2021.
The appellant as the plaintiff filed a suit for eviction of the respondent as
defendant from an immovable property. Respondent as defendant filed written
statement. Thereafter, the appellant as the plaintiff filed an application for
judgment on admission being GA/2/2022. Neither in the application, nor in
the application for judgment on admission, does the appellant make out a case
that, the respondent herein admitted the tenancy and wanted to vacate the
premises.
Four letters are disclosed in the affidavit-in-reply filed in the application
for judgment on admission before the learned Trial Judge. Two of the letters
are by the appellant. Two others are at the behest of the respondent.
According to the appellant, these four letters establish that, the
respondent wanted to become a tenant under the appellant. Those letters also
disclose the names of the occupiers of the immovable property concerned as
also the relationship between the appellant and such occupiers.
We find from the records that, the respondent filed written statement
claiming adverse possession. As noted above, neither in the plaint, nor in the
application for judgment on admission contains pleadings or reference to the
four letters which were sought to be introduced subsequently in the affidavit-
in-reply.
Be that as it may, we are of the view that, those four letters read as a
whole, does not establish that, there was a jural relationship between the
appellant and the respondents in the manner as claimed that is, of landlord
and tenants. What, the letters suggest is that there was an approach by the
respondent for creation of a tenancy in their favour by the appellant which the
appellant did not agree to do.
In such circumstances, we are of the view that, there being no admission
made on behalf of the respondents warranting passing of a decree by the
learned Single Judge, there is no error in the impugned order dated July 25,
2025.
Issues raised by the parties in the suit may be decided at the trial.
APO/74/2025 along with connected applications are disposed of, without
any order as to costs.
