Order
22/11/2022
This Civil Writ Petition has been filed by the petitioner
against the order dated 15.04.2021 passed by learned District
Judge Sawai Madhopur in Miscellaneous Application No.08/2020,
whereby application under Order 26 Rule 9 CPC for appointment of
Commissioner and for calling factual report of the illegal
encroachment upon the petitioners land Khasra No.322 & 323 was
dismissed.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the
petitioner had filed a suit against respondent No.1 in which
petitioner clearly stated the respondent No.1 had encroached upon
his land. So, he had filed an application before the learned trial
Court under Order 26 Rule 9 CPC but learned trial Court vide order
(2 of 3) [CW-11871/2021]
dated 15.04.2021 wrongly dismissed the application filed by the
petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that
the respondent had encroached upon the land of Khatedari Khasra
Nos.322, 323 and constructed a shop upon 15.77 Sq. feet.
Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that the
petitioner had filed an application before the learned trial Court
that a Tehsildar be appointed as Commissioner for local inspection
and for procuring a report regarding encroachment of the land.
Learned counsel for the petitioner has placed reliance
upon the judgment passed by the Hon'ble Apex Court in the case
of Haryana WAQF Board Vs. Shanti Sarup & Others reported
in (2008) 8 SCC 671.
Learned counsel for the petitioner has also placed
reliance upon the judgment passed by this Court in the case of
Ravindra Nath & Ors Vs. Piyush Kumar Joshi reported in
2019 (3) DNJ (Raj.) 1183.
Learned counsel for the respondent has opposed the
arguments advanced by learned counsel for the petitioner and
submitted that the learned trial Court rightly rejected the
application filed by the petitioner that for collection of the
evidence, Commissioner cannot be appointed. So, petition be
dismissed.
I have considered the arguments advanced by learned
counsel for the petitioner as well as learned counsel for the
respondent and perused the impugned order.
It is an admitted position that petitioner in civil suit
clearly stated that respondent had encroached upon his land and
built a shop upon 15.77 Sq. feet. These facts can only be clarified
by way of the Commissioner's report. So in my considered
(3 of 3) [CW-11871/2021]
opinion, learned trial Court wrongly rejected the application filed
by the petitioner. So, petition filed by the petitioner deserves to be
allowed.
Therefore, petition filed by the petitioner is allowed.
Order of the learned trial Court dated 15.04.2021 is set-aside.
Learned trial Court is directed to appoint a Commissioner as
Tehsildar for procuring the report regarding encroachment upon
the land of the petitioner.
Stay application stands disposed of.
