Order

[2026:RJ-JD:2346] (2 of 5) [CMA-3176/2025]

15/01/2026

1. By way of present misc. appeal, the appellants challenge the

validity of order dated 28.08.2025, whereby the Court of District

Judge (Labour Court), Udaipur, has dismissed the application of

appellants/plaintiffs under Order XXXIX Rules 1 and 2 read with

Section 151 CPC.

2. As per counsel for the appellants, the appellants were

recorded khatedars of Khasra No. 528 (old) admeasuring 3 bigha

7 biswa situated at Village Savina, Tehsil Girwa, District Udaipur. A

part of the land in question, measuring 2 bigha 16 biswa, was

sold by the appellants vide registered sale deed dated

24.09.1977, and since thereafter, the appellants/plaintiffs have

claimed to be in continuous possession of remaining 11 biswas of

land ("land in question"). It is stated that over the years, by way

of change of entries in the revenue record, the land in question

came to be recorded in the name of UIT, Udaipur and then in the

name of UDA, Udaipur. However, no statutory acquisition or

surrender by plaintiff regarding land in question has ever

happened, yet respondent tried to dispossess the appellant-

plaintiff. In this factual background, the suit for permanent

injunction alongwith the application under Order XXXIX Rules 1

and 2 seeking temporary injunction was filed.

3. Learned trial Court, after considering the material available

on record, has decided issues of prima facie case as well as the

issues of balance of convenience and irregular injury against the

appellants/plaintiffs and vide order dated 28.08.2025 dismissed

(Uploaded on 19/01/2026 at 07:00:10 PM)

[2026:RJ-JD:2346] (3 of 5) [CMA-3176/2025]

the application filed under Order XXXIX Rules 1 and 2, which has

been challenged in the present misc. appeal.

4. Learned counsel for the appellants argued that the pleadings

of the parties and the documents available on record have not

been considered by learned trial Court in judicious manner. It is

stated that admittedly, no former acquisition for acquiring the

land measuring 11 biswas has ever been done by the Government

Authorities and, therefore, the plaintiffs are still the rightful

owners of the said land, thus a prima facie case was rightly

established by the plaintiffs. Learned counsel for the appellants

further contended that the land of the plaintiffs was wrongly

shown in the name of UIT/UDA, Udaipur who, in turn, has

proposed to allot the said land in favour of other parties, which is

going to cause irreparable injury to the plaintiffs. In this view of

the matter, the rejection of appellants' application under Order

XXXIX Rules 1 and 2 is not justified.

5. Learned counsel Mr. Vijay Purohit, arguing on behalf of

respondent No.1, has vehemently opposed the submissions

advanced on behalf of the appellants and argued that the suit

filed by the plaintiffs is wholly misconceived.

6. Learned counsel for the respondent No.1 further stated that

as a matter of fact, the plaintiffs never remained in possession of

the said 11 biswas of land and even the revenue suit filed by the

plaintiffs claiming the said land has also been rejected. Learned

counsel for the respondent No. 1 also contended that the plaintiffs

have failed to establish the actual location of the said land and

(Uploaded on 19/01/2026 at 07:00:10 PM)

[2026:RJ-JD:2346] (4 of 5) [CMA-3176/2025]

made self-contradictory averments regarding the khasra numbers,

which was clearly taken into account by the learned Trial Court.

7. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondent Nos. 3 to

6 stated that land in question has already been allotted by the

UIT/UDA to them and the amount of consideration has already

been deposited. In these circumstances, learned trial Court has

rightly rejected the application filed under Order XXXIX Rules 1

and 2 CPC.

8. Heard learned counsels for the parties and perused the

material available on record.

9. A bare perusal of the pleadings of the parties and the

findings recorded by the learned Trial Court reveals that out of the

total land of 3 bigha 7 biswa, part of land measuring 2 bigha 16

biswa has already been sold by the plaintiffs by way of registered

sale deed dated 24.09.1977. While referring to the contents of

the said sale deed, a clear finding has been recorded by learned

Trial Court that there is a specific admission by the plaintiffs in the

said sale deed that the remaining 11 biswas of land has already

been covered/surrendered for road. Learned counsel for the

appellants failed to dispute the said averment/admission made in

the sale deed executed by the plaintiffs themselves. The pleadings

further shows that the plaintiffs have failed to establish the actual

location of land, and even the learned trial Court has recorded a

specific finding that there is a contradiction in pleadings regarding

the actual location of land, either in Araji No. 750 or Araji No.

749.

[2026:RJ-JD:2346] (5 of 5) [CMA-3176/2025]

10. As pointed by the learned counsel for the respondent No.1, it

is found that learned trial Court also considered that the revenue

proceedings initiated by the plaintiffs have also been decided

against them, and even in a civil suit already decided by the

judgment and decree dated 15.07.2000, holding that the plaintiffs

do not have any possession over the land in question. The counsel

for the appellant has not disputed the fact that the land has

already been allotted to the private respondents. Hence, the

learned trial Court has rightly decided the issue of prima facie

case, balance of convenience and irreparable injury as against the

plaintiffs.

11. The appellants have failed to establish any error in order

dated 18.08.2025 impugned in the present appeal. The order

passed is perfectly valid and reasoned and warrants no

interference by this Court.

12. In view of the observations made above, the present appeal

is hereby dismissed and impugned order dated 28.08.2025 is

upheld accordingly.

13. Stay application and all other pending applications stand

disposed of.
