THIS RFA IS FILED UNDER SEC. 96 OF CPC., AGAINST THE
JUDGMENT AND DECREE DTD: 13.03.2015 PASSED IN O.S. NO.
102/2009 ON THE FILED OF THE PRINCIPAL SENIOR CIVIL JUDGE,
JAMKHANDI, DECREEING THE SUIT FILED FOR PARTITION AND
SEPARATE POSSESSION.
NC: 2023:KHC-D:8734-DB
RFA No. 100203 of 2019
THIS APPEAL, COMING ON FOR FINAL DISPOSAL, THIS DAY,
SREENIVAS HARISH KUMAR J., DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
JUDGMENT
This appeal is preferred by defendant Nos.1 to 8 in
O.S.No.102/2009 on the file of Principal Senior Civil Judge,
Jamkhandi. The suit was for partition of schedule A and B
properties mentioned in the Plaint.
2. We have heard Sri Shivaraj P.Mudhol learned
counsel for the appellants and Sri B.S.Sangati learned
counsel for respondent Nos.1, 2(a) to 2(d), 3 to 6, 9, 10,
11(a), 12, 13, 23(a) and 23(b).
3. We find it not necessary to cull out the plaint
averments because the appellants did not participate in the
suit inspite of service of summons on them. Though the
appellants have taken several grounds in support of their
appeal, we are not inclined to accept any one of them to set
aside the impugned judgment. However having found that
the appellants did not participate in the suit we are inclined
to remand the case to trial Court to enable the appellants to
contest the suit.
NC: 2023:KHC-D:8734-DB
RFA No. 100203 of 2019
4. It is needless to say that the appellants are to be
subjected to costs as the plaintiffs are made to appear before
the Court once again. With these observations, we pass the
following:
ORDER
The appeal is allowed.
The judgment of the Trial Court in
O.S.No.102/2009 on the file of Principal Senior
Civil Judge, Jamkhandi is set aside. The case
stands remanded to the Trial Court for disposal
afresh according to law.
Appellants-defendant Nos.1 to 8,
respondents-plaintiff Nos.1A to 1D and plaintiff
No.2 are hereby directed to appear before the Trial
Court on 04.09.2023 without fail. On that day, the
appellants shall file their written statement by
paying costs of Rs.25,000/- to plaintiff Nos.1A to
1D and plaintiff No.2.
If the appellants fail to present their written
statement on that day, it is made clear that their
right to file written statement shall stand forfeited.
Since other respondents in this appeal have
not appeared before this Court inspite of service of
- 10 -
NC: 2023:KHC-D:8734-DB
RFA No. 100203 of 2019
notice, we direct the Trial Court to issue Court
notice to them and secure their presence.
It is made clear that the parties shall
cooperate with the trial Court for disposal of the
entire case within a period of one year.
