                                                       JUDGMENT

This Civil Suit has been filed by the plaintiff for declaration and

permanent injunction in respect of the suit schedule mentioned property.

2. The case of the Plaintiff, as set out, in the plaint is as follows:-

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

(i) The plaintiff is the owner of the suit schedule property, which

was acquired by the Plaintiff's predecessors in title much earlier to the year

1951, as seen from the Deed of Partition dated 04.03.1951 and thereafter,

the property had changed hands under the following documents, viz., Sale

deed dated 15.06.1962, registered as document No.2018 of 1962, Sale

deed dated 15.06.1962, registered as document No.2019 of 1962; and Sale

deed dated 19.08.1962, registered as document No.3887 of 1962 and

finally the plaintiff had become the owner of the same by virtue of an order

passed in T.O.S. No. 20 of 2009 by this Court.

(ii) The plaintiff had leased out the area facing Pulla Avenue from

time to time and as on date, the same is in possession of the tenant

Mrs.P.Jansi, who has been running a Honda Service Centre from the year

2013 onwards. The entire property is being assessed to tax and the plaintiff

has been paying the property taxes as well. The tenant has constructed and

provided all the necessary infrastructure required for running the service

centre. A ramp and service equipment has also been constructed in the

portion of the land falling S.No.2/6 and facing Pulla Reddy Avenue, with a

compound wall and gate. While so, on 18.07.2017, the Assistant Engineer,

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

Executive Engineer and Zonal officer of Zone VIII, Ward 102, Corporation

of Chennai, visited the property and claimed that a portion of the property

abutting Pulla Avenue belongs to Corporation of Chennai and closed the

gates of the Service Centre by sending out all the employees of the tenant.

(iii)The plaintiff claims that no notice of any kind was ever given to

the plaintiff or to his tenant in this regard. No proof of any kind relating to

the alleged ownership of Corporation of Chennai was also shown or

provided to the plaintiff, despite specific requests and demands made by

him. They did not even allow the tenant to remove all their belongings and

threatened to take severe action if they are not allowed to lock the gates

immediately. The plaintiff was not even allowed to get any legal help in

order to ascertain his rights under law. While it is settled law that even an

encroacher cannot be thrown out without giving proper notice and

opportunity to show cause as to why action should not be taken against

them, in the instant case where a lawful owner who has been in possession

of the property with a compound wall and a gate for nearly 60 years, has

been forcibly sent out in no time by taking law into their hands.

(iv)The officers attached to the office of the defendant also

attempted to park Garbage trucks and later after closing the gate with a tin

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

sheet and putting up a board, they have also unloaded unused electric poles

and materials hindering the entrance and a warning has also been given that

they would resume demolition activities. The action is high handed and

illegal. It is not open to Corporation officials to take law into their hands

and indulge in unlawful eviction exercises without following the legal

processes. Though the plaintiff met all the officers concerned and requested

for providing time and also to give copies of the document under which

Corporation is claiming the right, but they have not chosen to give any such

basic documents. On the contrary, the plaintiff is in possession of all the

documents including the property tax assessment records carried out by the

same Corporation officials showing it as proof of ownership. The

assessment order showing the property address at Pulla Reddy Avenue,

Shenoy Nagar, issued by the Corporation of Chennai.

v)Earlier when such an attempt was made by the Corporation to

prevent the plaintiff's predecessor in title to enter into the property, he had

filed a suit in O.S.No.9481 of 1994, on the file of XVIII Assistant Judge,

City Civil Court, Chennai and has obtained a decree of declaration relating

to his right over the property in T.S.No.2/6, Pulla Reddy Avenue,

Aminjikarai, Chennai-30 and a permanent injunction restraining the

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

defendant herein from in any manner, interfering with property including

demolishing the super structure which existed therein. The said decree had

attained finality. However, the present suit is filed by the plaintiff, praying

for a substantive relief regarding the prescriptive title of the plaintiff on

account of the attempt of interference made by the defendant's officers on

18.07.2017.

vi.The plaintiff has been in possession, occupation and enjoyment of

the property as a lawful owner for nearly 66 years, and have perfected their

title to the said land by prescription and the action of the Corporation of

Chennai in closing down the gates without any right or without following

any procedure as per law, is illegal. The plaintiff, who has been in

possession of the property with a compound wall and gate will be greatly

prejudiced, in the event of the defendant attempting any such act. Hence,

the present suit.

3. The case of the Defendant, in a nutshell, as set out in his written

statement, is as follows:-

(i) The lands bearing in Old S.No.64/1 part. 64/2, 64/3, 64/4 and

65/1 and 65/2 in vast extent of Aminjikarai Village were acquired for for

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

formation of a road approaching the Poonamalle High Road from Shenoy

Nagar and Parks as well. vide G.O.Ms.No.2297 (Health) dated 24.06.1950

which was published in the Gazette Under Section 14(5) of the Town

Planning Act on 10.10.1950. The Property comprised in Old S.No.64/2 is

left to be maintained as a Public Park. The Patta and other Revenue

Records show that the property comprised in Old S.No.64/2, now

T.S.No.2/6 is owned by the Defendant Corporation. But the owner of the

adjacent Property comprised in Old S.No.64/1B presently T.S.No.2/4 had

illegally encroached the suit property in T.S.No.2/6. Now and then the

defendant Corporation had removed the encroachments.

(ii).On perusal of the entire block Map of Shenoy Nagar Scheme

and other relevant records, it was found that the said suit property

measuring an extent of 6237sq. ft. comprised in T.S.No.2/6 belongs to

Corporation and with the help of the Tahsildar, Land and Revenue

Department, the locations of the land in disputes and the above Suit

property, which is concrete topped with a ramp elevating to the first floor

of the building situated in adjacent land comprised in T.S.No.2/4 belonging

to the plaintiff were now identified and immediately noticing the above suit

land in a position of being on an attempt for illegally grabbing by the

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

plaintiff, the defendant officials had with necessary instructions taken

possession of the above suit property by storing the lamp posts in the said

land and particularly erected the Display Board, displaying the message

that the property belongs to the Corporation of Chennai and affixed a

notice to remove the encroachment caused in the land belonging to the

Corporation by Locking the gate fixed by the encroacher. All these actions

of the Defendant Corporation had been simply watched by the plaintiff's

persons, but after ten days the plaintiff and his agents had broken the lock

and trespassed into the defendant's property and had even uprooted the

Board erected by the Corporation / Defendant. In an enquiry conducted in

the complaint lodged by this defendant Corporation against the plaintiff

within the Jurisdictional Police Station, the plaintiff submitted a photo copy

of Decree dated 24-12-1996 passed by the Hon'ble XVIII Asst. City Civil

Court, Chennai in O.S.No.9481 of 1996. On perusal of the same, the

defendant got to know that the plaintiff's predecessor in title had obtained

an ex parte decree for Easement of Necessity by misleading and

misrepresenting before the said Court. When the said suit number was

verified with our legal cell, the notice of the same had not been duly served

and the file pertaining to the above case, had not been put up or maintained

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

by the Office. The plaintiff managed to obtain an Exparte Decree against

the Corporation. Now that, necessary steps had been taken to file a Petition

to set aside the Exparte Decree. The above said Suit in O.S.No.9481 of

1996 was filed for Easementary Right for a pathway for which the meaning

of pathway should be considered, it simply means that a passage that would

definitely not cover the entire extent of 6237 sq. ft. of land comprised in

T.S.No.2/6 and more over, the sketch enclosed with the plan in the above

suit shows that there had been a claim of narrow path about 5 to 6 feet in

the way. Further, the said suit in O.S.No.9481 of 1996 itself is not

maintainable as the above suit property comprising in T.S. No.2/4

belonging to the plaintiff has an access to road and the statement that had

no alternative path for the land is an utter falsehood, merely on a wrong

statement, the predecessor of the plaintiff had obtained an ex- parte decree

in the suit in O.S.No.9481 of 1996. In either way it is an ex-parte decree,

which at any time by the discretion of the Hon'ble Court is liable to be set

aside.

(iii). The suit property in entirety belongs to the

Corporation/defendant and the plaintiff has no right of possession or

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

ownership. The attempts to illegally grab the land is being curtailed by the

Corporation/defendant and the decree obtained through back door for right

of easement will not entitle the plaintiff to claim prescriptive right. The

property tax for assessment and other Title Deeds along with other

supportive documents relied on by the plaintiff pertains to his own land

comprised in T.S.No.2/4 and as far as the ramp erected in the suit property

unauthorizedly and illegally without permission will be cleared in

accordance with law.

iv).The plaintiff herein had filed a Writ Petition for a direction

against the defendant Corporation to remove the Lock and open the Gates

of the above suit property in W.P.No.19554 of 2017 and the same was

withdrawn by the petitioner on 31.07.2017. This fact was suppressed by the

plaintiff. All the actions done by the defendant Corporation is with due

process of law and on the exercise of its legitimate powers conferred on it

and as such the defendant had at no point of time, had acted high handed

and illegal. With these averments, the defendant sought for dismissal of the

suit with exemplary costs.

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

4.On the pleadings of the parties and hearing the learned counsel on

either side, the following issues were framed for determination:-

(1) Whether the Plaintiff has been in possession and enjoyment of the Suit Schedule Property from the year 1951 as a rightful owner?

(2) Whether the plaintiff is entitled to a decree of declaration of his title to the Plaint schedule property?

(3) Whether the Plaintiff is entitled to a decree of permanent injunction against the Defendant restraining them from interfering with his possession of the Plaint schedule property?

5. On the side of the Plaintiff, the plaintiff was examined as PW1

and Ex.P1 to Ex.P16 were marked. On the side of the Defendant, DW1

was examined and Ex.D1 to D5 were marked.

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

7.The learned counsel for the Plaintiff has submitted that the suit

schedule Property was acquired by the plaintiff's predecessors-in-title much

earlier to the year 1951. After the suit property was made various sale

deeds in the year 1962, finally the plaintiff have become the owner of the

same by virtue of an order passed in T.O.S. No. 20 of 2009, by the Hon'ble

High Court.

8. It has been further submitted that a ramp and service

equipment have also been constructed in the portion of the land falling

S.No.2/6 and facing Pulla Reddy Avenue, with a compound wall and gate.

A sump for storing water, as well as a Bore well also exists in the said area

for more than 30 years. While being so, the Official of Corporation of

Chennai, came to the said schedule property and claimed that a portion of

the property abutting Pulla Avenue belongs to them and closed the gates of

the compound wall.

9. The learned counsel for the Plaintiff has further submitted that

without any notice and any proof of ownership, the Corporation of

Chennai have removed all belongings of the plaintiff and threatened to

take severe action against the plaintiff. Subsequently, the officers also

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

attempted to park Garbage trucks and closed the gate with a tin sheet and

put up a board as the suit property is belonged to them. They have also

unloaded unused electric poles and materials hindering the entrance. The

officers also warned the plaintiff that they would resume demolition

activities in the property. Hence, he prays the relief as sought in the suit.

10. The learned counsel for the defendant submitted that the

lands in vast extent in Old S.Nos. 64/1 part, 64/2, 64/3, 64/4 and 65/1 and

65/2 of Aminjikarai Village was acquired by the Government vide

G.O.Ms.No.2297 (Health) dated 24-06-1950 which was published in the

Gazette on 10-10-1950 and vide Award No. 4/52 dated 13.08.1952 for the

purpose of formation of a road approaching the Poonamallee High Road

from Shenoy Nagar and Parks as well.

11.It has been further submitted that the Property comprised in

Old S. No. 64/2 is proposed to be maintained as a Public Park. The Award

describes the property acquired and on its boundary S. No. 64/1B is shown

on the eastern side of the S. No. 64/2 i.e. equivalent to T.S. No. 2/6. The

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

Patta and other Revenue Records show that the property comprised in Old

S. No. 64/2, now T.S. No. 2/6 measuring an extent of 6237 sq. ft. is owned

by the Defendant Corporation vide Ex. D3. But the plaintiff/owner is of the

adjacent Property comprised in Old S. No. 64/1B presently T.S. No. 2/4

admeasuring an extent of 4207 sq.ft. only.

12. It has been further submitted that based on the order in TOS

No.20 of 2009, vide Ex.P9, the plaintiff claims title over the property in

T.S. No. 2/6, Aminjikarai Village which distinctly shows that only S. No.

64/1B, T.S. No. 2/4, Aminjikarai Village, Chennai. admeasuring an extent

of 4207 sq.ft. stands allotted to the Plaintiff herein and it has no whisper

about T.S. No. 2/6. However, the plaintiff herein has sought for suit for

Declaration of Title and Permanent Injunction over the property of an

extent of 6000 sq.ft. comprised in S.No.64/1B, T.S. No. 2/6, Block No. 15,

Aminjikarai Village Chennai. In this regard, the plaintiff has also filed 16

documents from Ex-P1 to Ex-P16 but not one single document to prove his

case and establish the title over the property situated in T.S. No. 2/6, Block

No. 15, Aminjikarai Village admeasuring an extent of 6000 sq.ft.

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

13. The learned counsel for the defendant further submitted that the

Suit in O.S. No. 9481 of 1996 was filed for Easement Right for a pathway

that would definitely not cover the entire extent of 6237 sq.ft. of land

comprised in T.S. No. 2/6. Further, the said Suit in O.S. No. 9481 of 1996

itself is not maintainable as the above Suit property comprising in T.S. No.

2/4 belonging to the Plaintiff has an access to the road and the statement

that the plaintiff had no alternative path for the land T.S. No. 2/4 is an utter

falsehood while there are two roads on the Southern and Western side of

the property in T.S. No. 2/4, Therefore having pathway on two sides, the

plaintiff has played fraud and obtained a decree for easement of necessity

which is not valid and binding on anyone. As it is an Ex-parte Decree, it is

liable to be set aside. Moreover, the Decree in favour of the Plaintiff's

Predecessor is for Easement of Necessity, which at any point of time gives

only an exclusive Right of passage to the Plaintiffs land in T.S. No. 2/4 and

does not declare any title over the land in T.S. No. 2/6.

14. It has been further submitted that the Planning Permission

dated 05.02.1983 obtained by the Plaintiff's predecessor for the proposed

construction of Kalyana Mandapam clearly depicts the property is

comprised in T.S. No. 2/4 vide Ex. D4 and it has clear access to the

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

property in T.S. No. 2/4, Aminjikarai Village via Ayyavoo Naidu Street

and Pulla Reddi Avenue Road. Therefore the Ex-parte Decree obtained in

O.S. No. 9481 of 1996 for the Easement of Necessity has been passed

without considering the real facts and circumstances.

15. The learned counsel for the defendant further submitted that the

Plaintiff claims title over the property in T.S. No. 2/6, Aminjikarai Village

through the Property Tax Assessments marked as Ex. P12 which pertains to

his own land comprised in T.S. No. 2/4 measuring only an extent of 4664

sq.ft. and does not have any relation regarding the property in T.S. No. 2/6.

As far as the ramp erected in the Suit Property comprised in T.S. No. 2/6 is

unauthorized and illegal without any permission it will be cleared in

accordance with law. Further, the Encumbrance Certificate filed by the

Plaintiff vide Ex. P7 clearly shows only regarding the property in T.S. No.

2/4 and does not have any nexus regarding the property in T.S. No. 2/6 as

claimed by the plaintiff. Further, the Statement such as CMRL had sought

for the permission from Plaintiff are all related only to his Property

comprised in T.S.No.2/4 and further, in an attempt to illegally grab the

above Suit property, the Plaintiff had focused him as the owner of the

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

Property in T.S. No. 2/6, Aminjikarai Village unlawfully for his

enrichment.

16. It has been further submitted that the Lease Deed filed by the

Plaintiff vide Ex. P11 and the Police Complaint vide Ex. P14 are related

only to the property situated in T.S. No. 2/4, Aminjikarai Village

admeasuring an extent of 4207 sq.ft. and not the T.S. No. 2/6 as per the

prayer sought for. The plaintiff has clearly stated that he is the owner of the

property situated in T.S. No. 2/4 vide the Compromise Deed in T.O.S. No.

20 of 2009 dated 05.04.2010 and has not stated or claimed any title over

the property in T.S. No. 2/6. It is pertinent to note that the Plaintiff has not

filed any document to prove the title over the property in T.S. No. 2/6,

Aminjikarai Village admeasuring an extent of 6000 sq.ft. as per the prayer

sought for. All the documents filed by the plaintiff in the above suit are

related only to the property situated in T.S. No. 2/4, Aminjikarai Village

admeasuring an extent of 4207 sq.ft. and not the T.S. No. 2/6. Hence, the

suit is liable to be dismissed.

17. On perusal of the records, it is seen that the Chennai

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

Corporation had acquired the vast land in Old S. Nos. 64/1 part, 64/2, 64/3,

64/4 and 65/1 and 65/2 of Aminjikarai Village for formation of a road

approaching the Poonamallee High Road from Shenoy Nagar and Parks as

well vide G.O.Ms.No.2297 (Health) dated 24-06-1950 which was

published in the Gazette on 10-10-1950 and vide Award No. 4/52 dated

13.08.1952.

18. Further, it is not dispute on seeing the TSLR and other Revenue

Records that the property comprised in Old S.No.64/2, now T.S.No.2/6 to

the extent of 6237 Sq.ft is owned by the Defendant Corporation and also

that the plaintiff is the owner of the adjacent Property comprised in Old

S.No.64/1B presently T.S.No.2/4 to the extend of 4207 Sq.ft only which

was purchased by him by virtue of the sale deed registered as

Doc.No.3887/1962 dated 19.08.1962.

19. The plaintiff claims over the suit property relying upon the

Judgment in O.S. No.9481 of 1994 which is an ex-parte decree and not

decided on merit after hearing both sides and the Property Tax Assessment

order merely mentioning the Sq.Ft for 4664 sq.ft only without producing

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

patta for the aforesaid extent. In so far as the suit in O.S. No.9481 of 1994

filed by the plaintiff is concerned, it is seen that the suit had been filed
