S.A. No. 605 of 2001
============================
Dated this the 25th day of April, 2023
JUDGMENT
In a suit for simple injunction, the trial Court found that the 4 th
defendant in the suit who is the appellant herein, is entitled to
recover certain extent of land from the plaintiff. Accordingly, the
injunction was refused. In appeal, the Appellate Court, noting
that the plaintiff is in possession, allowed the suit and granted
injunction.
2. It is to be noted that no suit for recovery of
possession was filed by the 4th defendant. The Appellate Court
reversed the finding of the trial Court noting that the plaintiff is
found to be in possession even as per the revenue records.
Public officials have also been made parties to these
proceedings. It is apparent that the possession is with the
plaintiff.
In such circumstances I find no reason to admit the Second
Appeal. Any way, this being a suit for simple injunction, nothing
prevents the 4th defendant appellant from moving the Civil Court
to recover the excess land alleged to be in possession of the
plaintiff, without prejudice to the injunction granted by the
Appellate Court. The appeal fails. Without prejudice to the right
of the appellant to move the Civil Court for recovery of
possession in accordance with law, the appeal is dismissed.
