2. Brief facts of the case are that the petitioner/plaintiff has filed a
civil suit for mandatory and perpetual injunction against the
respondents/defendants before the court of learned Civil Judge and
Judicial Magistrate, Phalodi, Jodhpur (hereinafter referred as "trial

Patta was issued by the Gram Panchayat, Sanwarij on dated 26.09.1999

in the name of petitioner/plaintiff, which was subsequently registered
before the Sub Registrar, Phalodi dated 30.06.2004.
3. The petitioner/plaintiff has been having possession since long time
and various constructions were raised on the plot. The
petitioner/plaintiff is residing in the plot and the nearby common
pathway is being used by him as having easementary right since thirty
years.
4. The respondents/defendants have erected some temporary
structure on the common disputed pathway on 06.06.2018, thus
obstructing the way which was being used by the petitioner/plaintiff.
The temporary structure is covered with the wires and net and it has
been alleged that the respondents/defendants had no right to erect the
illegal constriction over the common pathway.
5. The petitioner/plaintiff has prayed in the plaint that the temporary
constructions/encroachments made by the respondents/defendants may
be removed from the common pathway and sought injunction against
the respondents/defendants.
6. The respondents/defendants filed an application under Order 1
Rule 10 of CPC on 08.06.2018, in which, it was stated that patta had
been issued by the Gram Panchayt, Sanwarij in favour of the petitioner/
plaintiff and the residential house of the petitioner/plaintiff has been
found in the khatedari land of respondents/defendants and, therefore,
the Gram Panchayat, Sanwarij is the competent authority to show the
actual possession and actual position of the plot of the plaintiff and,
therefore, prayed that the Gram Panchayat, Sanwarij is a necessary
party to be impleaded as defendant respondents.
7. The petitioner/plaintiff filed reply to the application filed by the
respondents/defendants and denied all the contents.
(3 of 5) [CW-3516/2020] 8. The learned court below has decided the application on
18.11.2019 whereby the same was allowed and the Gram Panchayat,
Sanwarij was directed to be impleaded as party defendants in the suit.
9. Being aggrieved with the same, the present writ petition is filed
by the petitioner/plaintiff.
10. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that plaintiff is the
master of the suit and is dominus litis and it is for him to decide and
implead the necessary parties for proper adjudication and determination
of rights for the suit filed. He further submits that no relief has been
sought against the Gram Panchayat, Sanwarij, therefore, the learned
court below has erred in allowing the application filed by the
respondents/defendants.
11. Learned counsel for the respondents submits that since the patta
of the petitioner, upon which, he has constructed residential house
issued by the Gram Panchayat, Sanwarij as well as the allegation
levelled upon the respondents/defendants that the common way has
been encroached upon by him vests with the Gram Panchayat,
Sanwarij, therefore, the Gram Panchayat, Sanwarij is necessary party
for proper and fair adjudication of suit preferred by the
petitioner/plaintiff and therefore the learned court below has rightly
allowed his application.
12. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material
available on record.
13. The petitioner/plaintiff has preferred the suit with the following
prayers:-
1) कि प्रतिवादीगण वादी की इस बाद के पद संख्या 1 में व एनेक्श्चर ए में दर्शाई वादी की आवासीय जायगा व बाड़ा के आस पडौस में अवस्थित रास्तों व गली की भमि ू पर लगाये गये पत्थर. खंट ू ों व कराई जा रही तारबंदी को तत्काल हटाकर अतिक्रमण मुक्त कर दे व वादी के रास्ते के
(4 of 5) [CW-3516/2020]
सख ु ाधिकारों में एवं उसके उपयोग उपभोग में किसी प्रकार की बाधा या अवरोध या दखलअंदाजी कर हनन नही करे ।
2) कि प्रतिवादीगण के विरुद्ध इस आशय की स्थाई निषेधाज्ञा जारी की जाये कि वे वादी की आवासीय जायगा व बाडा तथा उसके आस पड़ौस के आम रास्तों गली की भमि ू पर भविष्य में भी किसी प्रकार का अतिचार अवरोध या निर्माण कार्य पत्थर खंट ू े जाली आदि लगाकर न तो स्वयं अतिचार करे न कि से कराने का ही प्रयास करे और न ही वादी की आवासीय जायगा में प्रवेश के रास्तों को अवरुद्ध करे न उसमें कोई दखलअंदाजी करे और न किसी से कराये।
3) इस वाद का व्यय वादी को प्रतिवादीगण से दिलवाया जावे।
4) अन्य आज्ञा जो बादी के हितकर हो प्रदान की जावे ।
14. In this case, the petitioner/plaintiff has not claimed any relief
against the Gram Panchayat, Sanwarij and he has specifically sought
relief against the private respondents for the purpose of removing the
encroachments made by the private respondents made in common way
situated near the residential house of the petitioner/plaintiff.
15. Learned counsel for the petitioner has placed reliance upon the
judgment of this Court in the case of Kishan Sharma & Anr Vs Gram
Panchayat, Niwaru & Ors. decided on 05.01.2012.
16. Learned counsel for the respondents has also placed reliance upon
the judgment of this Hon'ble Court in the case of Nagar Palika Nadbai
Vs. Shri Brij Lal & Ors decided on 19.08.2013.
17. It is a settled law that the plaintiff is dominus litis and the master
of the suit and it is for him to decide as to who would be the necessary
party in the suit for proper adjudication and determination of the rights.
18. This Court finds that it is for the petitioner to decide as to who
should be joined as party defendants in the suit that he has preferred
and since the petitioner has not claimed any relief against the Gram
(5 of 5) [CW-3516/2020]
Panchayat, Sanwarij, therefore the Gram Panchayat, Sanwarij cannot
be said to be a necessary party.
19. In view of the above facts and circumstance, the order passed by
the learned court below dated 18.11.2019 is, therefore, quashed and
set aside.
20. With the aforesaid directions, the writ petition and stay application
are disposed of.
