      THIS M.F.A. IS FILED U/O 43 RULE 1(r) R/W SECTION 151
OF CPC, AGAINST THE ORDER DATED 03.04.2021 PASSED ON
I.A.NO.I IN O.S.NO.206/2020 ON THE FILE OF THE II
ADDITIONAL SENIOR CIVIL JUDGE, BENGALURU RURAL
DISTRICT, BENGALURU AND ETC.

    THESE APPEALS HAVING BEEN HEARD AND RESERVED
FOR JUDGMENT ON 06.06.2023 THIS DAY, THE COURT
PRONOUNCED THE FOLLOWING:


                            JUDGMENT

These appeals are filed against the common orders passed

on I.A.Nos.1 to 3. I.A.No.1 is filed under Order XXXIX Rules 1

and 2 read with Section 151 of CPC wherein sought an order of

temporary injunction restraining the defendant Nos.7 and 9 and

their men from interfering with the plaintiffs' peaceful possession

and enjoyment of the suit schedule property and I.A.No.2 is filed

under Order XXXIX Rule 1 and 2 read with Section 151 of CPC

seeking an order of temporary injunction restraining the

defendant Nos.7 and 9 and their men from alienating, creating

charge or encumbering the suit schedule property and I.A.No.3

is filed by defendant No.9 under Order XXXIX Rule 4 read with

Section 151 of CPC praying the Court to vacate the exparte

order of temporary injunction which was granted against

defendant Nos.7 and 9. I.A.Nos.1 and 2 are rejected and

I.A.No.3 is allowed in vacating the interim order granted in

favour of the plaintiffs.

2. The very contention of plaintiffs counsel in all the

appeals that the Trial Court has committed an error in coming to

the conclusion that the plaintiffs have not made out the prima

facie case and the balance of convenience is not lies in favour of

the plaintiffs and the very approach of the Trial Court is

erroneous. The counsel would vehemently contends that the

suit schedule property is the part and parcel of Sy.No.47 and the

suit was filed to an extent of 6 acres of land and 1 acre 28

guntas of karab land totally measuring 7 acres 28 guntas of land

out of 19 acres 35 guntas situated at Yelenahalli village, Begur

hobli, Bengaluru South Taluk, Bengaluru Urban District. The

counsel further contends that originally the property belongs to

one Chikka Nagireddy and he had two wives by name

Venkatalakshmamma and Thimmakka. Through first wife, Chikka

Nagireddy got two sons and through second wife, he got four

sons and he partitioned the property among them. In the

partition, the first wife and his legal heirs got 13 acres 38 guntas

and second wife and his legal heirs got 2 acres 30 guntas in

terms of the partition dated 23.06.1956. The children belongs to

the first wife are Gurappa Reddy and Ramaiah and they got

divided the property and in the partition, an extent of 6 acres 20

guntas was allotted to the share of Gurappa Reddy and 6 acres

of land was allotted to the share of Ramaiah. It is further

contended that 1 acre 18 guntas was left for the exclusive usage

of Gurumurthy Reddy. Gurappa Reddy sold his extent of 6 acres

20 guntas in favour of Patel Govindappa vide sale deed dated

11.10.1956. The counsel would vehemently contend that

defendants relying upon the sale deed dated 26.11.1956

allegedly executed by Ramaiah who is the son of first wife of

Chikka Nagireddy but no entries are found in the revenue

documents and the names of the defendant also not got mutated

based on the said sale deed but defendants are claiming their

rights based on the said sale deed. The counsel would

vehemently contend that the title is only to the extent of 2 acres

30 guntas in terms of the partition deed dated 23.06.1956 in

favour of Thimakka and her children. Hence, they don't have

title to sell the property to the extent of 8 acres 30 guntas. But

they got divided the property vide partition deed dated

06.01.1969 and also contended that on 21.02.1969, the sale

deed was executed in favour of M B Rodericks i.e., defendant

No.4 to the extent of 11 acres 22 gunas but there was no title to

such extent and the said sale deed also does not disclose

anything about the same since they are not parties to the said

sale deed thus, the question of limitation does not arise. The

relief is sought is also not to alienate the suit schedule property

and not to interfere with the peaceful possession and enjoyment

of the property of the plaintiffs and Trial Court committed an

error in dismissing I.A.Nos.1 and 2. Hence, it requires

interference.

3. Per contra, the counsel for the respondents filed the

statement of objections along with the documents and events of

documents contending that the suit was filed after 65 years of

the sale, that is, the sale deed was executed on 26.11.1956 by

Ramaiah himself in favour of second wife of Chikka Nagireddy

and her children. The counsel also vehemently contends that

the plaintiffs are claiming that they are legal representatives of

said Ramaiah but, no document is produced before the Court to

substantiate the same. The counsel also would submits that the

partition was effected in the year 1956 itself i.e., on 23.06.1956

and in terms of the said partition, an extent of 2 acres 30 guntas

was allotted in favour of Thimakka and her four sons and there

was partition between Gurappa Reddy and Ramaiah i.e., children

of first wife of Chikka Nagireddy. There is no dispute to the said

fact that there was a partition on 02.08.1956 between Gurappa

Reddy, Ramaiah and Gurumurthy Reddy. Consequent upon the

said partition only, sale deed was executed on 26.11.1956 to an

extent of 6 acres which was allotted in favour of Ramaiah. The

very Ramaiah had sold the property and the plaintiffs have

suppressed the said sale and filed the suit. The counsel also

contended that the properties were also converted and even

though the property was converted, a false suit was filed stating

that still the suit schedule property is an agricultural land. The

counsel also vehemently contends that when the plaintiffs have

approached the Court without clean hands, an interim order

cannot be granted. The Trial Court also while answering point

No.1 with regard to the prima facie case taken note of the fact

that the sale deed was executed in the year 1956 by Ramaiah to

the extent of 6 acres. The Trial Court also taken note that

several transactions were taken place between the purchasers

who have sold the same on different dates and sale deeds clearly

disclose that already several transactions were taken place

subsequently and also taken note of Encumbrance Certificate

from the year 1953 to 1972 and comes to the conclusion that

the sale deed has been clearly mentioned in the said document.

The partition deed, sale deed, RTC, mutation extracts,

conversion order, tax paid receipts, electricity bills, photographs

along with CD and other documents clearly substantiate the fact

that the suit schedule property is under the possession of

defendant No.9 and hence rejected I.A.Nos.1 and 2 and rightly

allowed I.A.No.3 vacating the interim order which was granted

earlier. Hence, there are no merit in these appeals.

4. In reply to the arguments, the counsel for the

appellants would vehemently contend that the defendants

mainly relies upon the sale deed of November 1956 and the

same at no point of time came into picture and no revenue

entries were made hence, very said sale deed is in dispute. Apart

from that the defendants have filed the suit in O.S.No.44/2017

wherein they have sought for the relief of permanent injunction

to an extent of 10 acres 28 guntas in respect of Sy.No.47/1

which is described as schedule 'C' in the said suit and also the

counsel brought to notice of this Court the document No.16

wherein also sought for the relief of declaration questioning the

sale deed dated 05.08.2016 and sought for grant of permanent

injunction wherein also they described Sy.No.47/1 as 'C'

schedule property to the extent of 10 acres 28 guntas and even

though they claims that there is a sale deed to the extent of 6

acres and in terms of the partition 2 acres 30 guntas and it

comes to 8 acres 30 guntas and sought for declaration to the

extent of 10 acres 28 guntas and also relies upon the sale deed

to an extent of 11 acres 28 guntas. Hence, it is clear that the

defendants also making false claim and this aspect has not been

considered by the Trial Court.

5. Having considered the contention of both the parties,

this Court has to take note of the relief sought in the suit in

O.S.No.206/2020 which is the subject matter in issue between

the parties wherein they claimed an interim order restraining the

defendant Nos.7 and 9 from interference and also from

alienating the suit schedule property. No doubt, in this suit they

sought for declaration that partition deed dated 06.01.1969 is in

respect of non-existent land hence, the sale deeds dated

21.02.1969, 21.01.1976, 16.03.1995, 28.04.2000, 26.03.2007

are null and void and consequently grant an order of permanent

injunction. The suit extent is 6 acres of land and 1 acre 28

guntas of karab land, totally measuring 7 acres 28 guntas of

land out of 19 acres 35 guntas of land. It is the specific

contention of the defendant that there was a partition between

the children of Chikka Nagireddy i.e., among the children of first

wife and second wife and also no dispute that through first wife,

Gurappa Reddy and Ramaiah are the two sons and the suit is

filed by the grandsons of said Ramaiah and wife of Gurumurthy

Reddy. But defendants have relied upon the document of sale

deed dated 26.11.1956 and Encumbrance Certificate also

produced before the Court which discloses that there was a sale

and this is the sale deed of the year 1956 and the document

which have been relied upon by the defendants also clear that

subsequent to the said sale deed, property got changed in the

hands of different persons and also the property was converted

and the other documents are also discloses that different sale

deeds were came into existence between defendant Nos.1 to 9

and present defendant No.9 is in possession of the said land. No

doubt, the dispute is to the extent of 11 acres 22 guntas as

claimed by the defendants but the material discloses that the

sale deed is only to the extent of 8 acres 30 guntas. But the

Court has to take note of the fact that the suit was filed to an

extent of 6 acres which was allotted to Ramaiah in the partition

which took place on 02.08.1956 but subsequently, the same was

sold by the Ramaiah himself. When there is a sale deed, even

though the plaintiffs disputes the same while granting the relief

of temporary injunction, the Court has to take note of the prima

facie case.

6. The Trial Court considering the prima facie case and

also the balance of convenience, answered point Nos.1 to 3

which have been framed based on the averments made in

I.A.Nos.1 to 3 and also taken note that the sale deed is dated

26.11.1956, since the grandfather of the plaintiff Nos.2 to 4 i.e.,

Ramaiah had sold the extent of 6 acres of land to Thimmakka

i.e., the second wife of Chikka Nagireddy and the relief is sought

in respect of the partition deed of the year 1969. The prima facie

document of sale deed is dated 26.11.1956 which is relied upon

by the defendants to contend that the very Ramaiah had sold

the property to the extent of 6 acres in Sy.No.47. The Trial

Court also taken note of the fact that in the said sale, the

reference was made that there was a partition and in the said

partition, the Ramaiah got the property and also taken note of

the Encumbrance Certificate of the year 1953 to 1972 wherein

the said sale deed is also mentioned. Apart from that the other

documents i.e., partition deed, sale deed, RTC, mutation extract,

conversion order, tax paid receipts, electricity bills, photographs

along with CD also taken note of by the Trial Court and comes to

the conclusion that the suit schedule property is in possession of

defendant No.9 and the property is also converted from the

agricultural purpose to non-agricultural purpose. Hence, the very

partition deed dated 26.11.1956 is manipulated and based on

the aforesaid sale deeds, they have derived the right in respect

of the suit schedule property is not accepted.

7. Having considered the material on record, the Trial

Court comes to the conclusion that the plaintiffs have not made

out any prima facie case to grant the relief of injunction to

restrain the defendant Nos.7 and 9 from interfering with the

possession of the suit schedule property and also restraining the

defendant Nos.7 and 9 from alienating the same. The Trial Court

while answering point Nos.1 and 2 and also with regard to the

balance of convenience relied upon the judgment of the Apex

Court reported in AIR 2010 SCC 296 in the case of KASHI

MTH SAMSATHAN AND ANOTHER vs SRIMAD SUDHINDRA

THIRTHA SWAMY AND ANOTHER and extracted the order of

the Apex Court and based on that judgment, the Trial Court

comes to the conclusion that the balance of convenience lies in

favour of the defendants and not in favour of the plaintiffs and

also while considering I.A.No.3 comes to the conclusion that the

plaintiffs have failed to establish the prima facie case in their

favour hence, rightly comes to the conclusion that they are not

entitled for temporary injunction as sought in I.A.Nos.1 and 2

and allowed I.A.No.3 vacating the temporary injunction granted

earlier in favour of the plaintiffs. While exercising the discretion,

considering the application of temporary injunction, the Trial

Court stated that there must be a prima facie case and the same

is not found in the case on hand. No doubt, the plaintiffs contend

that the extent what the defendant No.9 claims and has

produced the documents are not based on the title and the said

contention cannot be considered while considering the

application for temporary injunction and the same is a matter of

trial and while considering the application filed under Order 39

Rules 1 and 2 of CPC the Court has to consider prima facie

material on record. On perusal of the material on record it

discloses that though sale deed is of the year 1956 which is

produced by the defendant No.9 is in dispute, the same is also a

matter of trial but that document prima facie discloses that there

was a sale by the said Ramaiah himself that too immediately

after the partition among the family members. Hence, I do not

find any merit in all the appeals to reverse the finding of the

Trial Court and the Trial Court has not committed any error in

exercising its discretion.

8. In view of the discussions made above, I pass the

following:

ORDER

The appeals are dismissed.
