JUDGMENT
The original petitioners, who are
defendants in O.S.No.371/2020 on the file of
the Munsiff Court, Muvattupuzha, have filed
this Original Petition under the Article 227
of the Constitution of India, being aggrieved
by Ext.P7 order (Order in I.A.No.05/2021 dated
02.02.2021).
2. In this case, after filing one
commissioner by Adv.Cibison Jose, an
application was filed by the defendants to
appoint another commissioner. The court below
appointed the same commissioner to note out
the matters sought for by the petitioners
herein. In this context, the petitioners filed
I.A. No.5/2021 to appoint any other advocate
other than Adv.Cibison Jose on the ground that
in the earlier report Adv.Cibison Jose
reported wrong facts before the court. OP(C) No.157 of 2022
3. Heard the learned counsel for the
petitioners. The learned counsel pressed for
relief on the submission that if Adv.Cibison
Jose prepare the second report the same also
may be incorrect.
4. Going by the impugned order, it
appears that Adv.Cibison Jose was appointed as
commissioner at the instance of the plaintiffs
in the above suit and he had filed a report
and mahazar. So the course of action available
to the defendants, if they were aggrieved by
the finding of the commissioner is to file
objection and challenge the commission report
by examining the commissioner. Instead of
doing so, another application was filed by the
defendants to appoint another commissioner and
the court below appointed the same
commissioner. No doubt, appointment of
different persons as commissioners would
result in getting contrary reports and such a OP(C) No.157 of 2022
course of action cannot be permitted in a
routine manner.
In view of the matter, the order impugned
is found to be in order. Therefore, there is
no reason to interfere with, on finding
perversity or arbitrariness.
In the result, this original petition
fails and is accordingly dismissed.
