THE HONOURABLE SMT. JUSTICE RENUKA YARA
SECOND APPEAL No.511 of 2024
JUDGMENT:
Heard Sri Mirza Shah Nawaz Baig, learned counsel for the appellant
and Sri Vinod Singh, learned counsel for respondent No.1. Perused the
entire record.
2. The present second appeal is preferred aggrieved by the judgment
and decree dated 08.08.2024 in A.S.No.311 of 2014 on the file of the
XXVI Additional Chief Judge, City Civil Court at Hyderabad ('first
appellate Court'), wherein the appeal was dismissed confirming the
judgment and decree dated 25.09.2014 in O.S.No.4050 of 2003 on the file
of the VI Junior Civil Judge, Hyderabad ('trial Court'), whereby the suit
was decreed.
3. For the sake of convenience, the parties are referred as they are
arrayed in the present second appeal.
4. Initially, plaintiff/respondent No.1 herein filed a suit for perpetual
injunction against defendant No.3/appellant herein and defendant Nos.1, 2
and 4/respondent Nos.2 to 4 herein to restrain them from interfering with
her peaceful possession and enjoyment of suit schedule property more
particularly, to restrain them from demolishing compound wall surrounding RY,J SA_511_2024
suit schedule property consisting of Plot No.83 admeasuring 150.33 sq.
yards in Sy.No.105/1, 105/2, 106, 107, 113 and 114 situated at Tallagadda,
Gudi Malkapur Village, Sardar Bagh, Near Karwan Sahu, Asif Nagar
Mandal, Hyderabad. The appellant herein allegedly made attempts to
interfere with respondent No.1's possession and said attempts were
resisted. While so, the appellant and respondent No.4 got issued notice to
respondent No.1 through GHMC officials i.e., respondent Nos.2 and 3.
Respondent No.1 apprehended that the GHMC officials i.e., respondent
Nos.2 and 3 may demolish the compound wall and therefore, filed the suit
for perpetual injunction before the trial Court. Respondent No.1 claimed
her ownership over the suit schedule property having succeeded to it after
the death of her husband, who was the original owner having been
purchased the same vide registered sale deed document bearing No.3171 of
1978, dated 30.11.1978.
5. Respondent No.1 got examined P.Ws.1 to 3 and exhibited Exs.A-1 to
A-27 to prove her possession before the trial Court. The appellant herein
got examined himself as D.W.1 and exhibited Exs.B-1 to B-16. Learned
trial Court after examining the evidence on record decreed the suit granting
perpetual injunction in favour of respondent No.1. Aggrieved by the same,
the appellant preferred appeal before the first appellate Court and the said
RY,J SA_511_2024
appeal was dismissed confirming the judgment and decree of the trial
Court. Aggrieved by the same, the present Second Appeal is preferred.
6. The present Second Appeal is preferred with the following
substantial questions of law to be considered:
1. Whether the Suit of the Plaintiff is to be Decreed, when the Plaintiff failed to substantiate and prove the existence of Plot No.83 in the approved layout of Ram Singh Pura Handloom Weavers Cooperative Production Sales Society Ltd., situated at Markandeya Nagar, (Tallagadda) near Karwan Sahu, Hyderabad?
2. Whether the lower Court and the first appellate Court is justified in decreeing the suit without considering/framing the additional issue raised by the Defendant No.3 with regard to the existence of the Plot No.83 in I.A.No.636/2013 in O.S.No.4050/2003?
7. The 1st substantial question of law is factual question about existence
of plot No.83, which is to be determined by examining the approved layout
of the Ram Singh Pura Handloom Weavers Cooperative Production Sales
Society Limited situated at Markandeya Nagar (Tallagadda) near Karwan
Sahu, Hyderabad. The issue of existence or non-existence of plot No.83
was considered by both the trial Court as well as the first appellate Court in
the suit as well as the first appeal and the same has been answered in favour
of respondent No.1 herein and it is held that respondent No.1 has proved
her possession over the suit schedule property. Therefore, the perpetual
injunction was granted.
RY,J SA_511_2024
8. The 2nd substantial question of law is also with regard to existence of
plot No.83 and failure to frame an additional issue about existence of plot
No.83. Irrespective of framing of additional issue with respect to existence
of plot No.83, the said issue was considered as the main issue while
granting perpetual injunction. Both the trial Court as well as the first
appellate court have considered the ownership as well as the possession of
respondent No.1 over the suit schedule property i.e., plot No.83 while
granting perpetual injunction. In fact, the case of the appellant being owner
and possessor of the said property was also considered and the same was
discarded on the basis of oral admission of the appellant as D.W.1, wherein
it is admitted that he is not owner of the suit schedule property and he was
never in possession of the suit schedule property. The said admissions
were contradictory to the case set out by the appellant in his written
statement. When the ownership of respondent No.1 over plot No.83 which
is suit schedule property is considered and concurrent findings are given by
both the Courts below about its existence and possession of respondent
No.1 over the same, the said factual aspect cannot be canvassed in the
second appeal before this Court.
9. Subsequent to filing of the present Second Appeal, learned counsel
for the appellant filed memo dated 13.08.2025 with a prayer to frame the
following additional substantial questions of law in the present appeal:
RY,J SA_511_2024
1. Whether the Suit for perpetual injunction was maintainable when the Plaintiff had already transferred both the title and possession by way of a registered Agreement-cum-General Power of Attorney (AGPA) with Possession vide Doct No.3263 of 2006 during the pendency of the Suit, and failed to disclose the same to the trial Court?
2. Whether the Decree passed in favour of the Plaintiff is vitiated due to suppression of material facts, particularly the execution of a registered AGPA vide Doct No.3263 of 2006 transferring possession during the pendency of the Suit?
3. Whether first Appellate Court erred in law by ignoring the fact of transfer of title and possession via AGPA, despite being brought to its notice during appeal proceedings by way of additional evidence, and consequently upholding the Trial Court's Decree?
4. Whether the subsequent execution of a Registered Sale Deed vide Document No.260 of 2024 dated 12.01.2024, during the pendency of the First Appeal, without leave of the court, renders the injunction decree infructuous and unenforceable?
10. The 1st and 2nd additional substantial questions of law are about
execution of agreement-cum-General Power of Attorney with possession
executed vide document bearing No.3263 of 2006 and the said document
was not presented before the trial Court and cannot be a ground before this
Court for registering a second appeal.
11. Coming to the 3rd additional substantial question of law, even if it is
brought to the notice of the first appellate Court that there is transfer of title
and possession, the same was not considered as in a suit for perpetual
injunction legal possession at the inception of the suit is material and not
subsequent developments.
RY,J SA_511_2024
12. Coming to the 4th additional substantial question of law, there can be
no effect of execution of registered sale deed vide document No.260 of
2024, dated 12.01.2024, even if execution is done during the pendency of
first appeal as the subsequent purchaser would be bound by the decree
passed by the trial Court and the first appellate Court. The subsequent
purchaser would have same rights and liabilities as his vendor.
13. In view of the foregoing discussion, the present second appeal lacks
substantial questions of law and the appeal has no merits, as such the same
is not maintainable and liable to be dismissed.
14. In the result, the Second Appeal is dismissed confirming the
judgment and decree dated 08.08.2024 in A.S.No.311 of 2014 on the file of
the first appellate Court as well as the judgment and decree dated
25.09.2014 in O.S.No.4050 of 2003 on the file of the trial Court. There
shall be no order as to costs. Miscellaneous applications, if any, pending
shall stand closed.
