Citation : 2022 Latest Caselaw 749 Tel
Judgement Date : 17 February, 2022
THE HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SATISH CHANDRA SHARMA
AND
THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE ABHINAND KUMAR SHAVILI
WRIT APPEAL No.381 of 2021
JUDGMENT: (Per the Hon'ble the Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma)
The present writ appeal is arising out of the order dated
09.07.2021 passed by the learned Single Judge in W.P.No.6519 of
2020.
The undisputed facts of the case reveal that the
appellant/writ petitioner and the private respondents are relatives
and the writ petition was filed by the appellant/writ petitioner
stating that the private respondents are carrying out construction
activities by encroaching some other land. Gram Panchayat was
also made a respondent. However, the learned Single Judge has
arrived at a conclusion that it is a civil dispute and the appropriate
remedy is to file a civil suit claiming the relief.
In the considered opinion of this Court, the dispute in
question, which is between the members of the same family, can
certainly be looked into in a civil suit where the trial court, after
the evidence is adduced by the parties, shall certainly be able to
arrive at a proper conclusion. In exercise of appellate jurisdiction,
this Court does not find any reason to interfere with the order
passed by the learned Single Judge.
Resultantly, the writ appeal stands disposed of with a liberty
to file a civil suit or to take recourse to other remedies available
under the law. The appellant/writ petitioner shall also be free to
approach the Gram Panchayat afresh in the matter.
Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand
closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
