Judgment
05/10/2021
1. This writ petition is directed against the order dated
04.08.2021, passed in appeal No.202/2017 by the Additional
District Judge No.1, Kota.
2. During the course of hearing of this case on 01.10.2021,
learned counsel for the parties and the Court was of the view that
there is a possibility of amicable settlement between the parties
and thus, petitioner so also the respondent was called in the
Court.
3. Shorn of unwarranted details, the facts relevant for the
present purposes are, that the petitioner-original plaintiff owns
(2 of 3) [CW-11248/2021]
plot No.237, admeasuring 123.75 square meter (1331.55 square
feet) in Anantpura Scheme of Kota having its measurement as 9
meter from East to West and 7.5 meter from North to South.
4. Just adjacent to the petitioner's plot, plot No.238 having the
same measurement i.e. 123.75 square meters, belongs to the
defendant (present respondent).
5. When the respondent started construction, the plaintiff
(present petitioner) filed a suit for injunction, inter alia, with a
contention that he has encroached upon 5 to 6 feet land of the
petitioner and has raised construction thereupon.
6. It has surfaced on record that the actual land available on
site for plot No.237 and 238 is lesser by 5-6 feet on account of
excess construction or encroachment made by other plot owners
of the society.
7. Upon persuasion of learned counsel for the parties, the
petitioner and respondent (plaintiff and respondent herein) have
arrived at an amicable settlement, in the spirit of Lok Adalat. The
same is being reduced hereunder :-
(i) The plaintiff and respondent will equally divide the available
land of plot No.237 and 238 of the scheme.
(ii) The defendant will remove the boundary wall (which he has
already raised) and any other constructions including the water
tank on the contentious part (5-6 feet) of the land (between plot
No.237 and 238) by 01.12.2021.
(iii) Immediately on removal of the construction, the petitioner
shall pay a sum of Rs.5,50,000/- to the respondent.
(iv) The respondent shall thereafter be free to raise his boundary
wall in accordance with law, in such a manner that size of both the
plots (237 and 238) becomes equal.
(3 of 3) [CW-11248/2021]
(v) In case the petitioner fails or neglects to pay the agreed
amount by 01.12.2021, of course after removal of the boundary
wall and construction by the respondent as noticed in para No.(ii)
above, he will be liable to be proceeded with under the Contempt
of Courts Act, 1971.
(vi) On production of a certified copy of the order instant, the
suit proceedings before the trial Court shall stand terminated.
8. The writ petition as well as stay application stand disposed
of, while recording appreciation for Mr. Alok Chaturvedi and Mr.
Prakash Kumar Jha who have acted as catalyst and assisted the
Court in resolving the dispute in an ideal manner.
