What is this about?

In two Second Appeals arising from a civil suit regarding removal of encroachment, the High Court addressed challenges to the dismissal of the suit. The lower courts found no encroachment based on a Cadastar Surveyor's report and concurrent findings that the defendants were not infringing on the plaintiff's land. The appeals were dismissed without a separate detailed order by the High Court.

second appeals are preferred by the original plaintiff.

¶24

The plaintiff claimed ownership over 15R land out of Survey No. 52/1+2A on the basis of sale deed executed through Court Commissioner in Special Civil Suit No. 28 of 1983. The grievance in the said suit was that the defendants have encroached upon his land. Both the courts have held that the plaintiff has failed to establish encroachment on the suit land by the defendants. The finding is based upon the report of the Cadestral Surveyor. The defendants are not disputing the ownership of the plaintiff along with one Tatyasaheb Kulkarni over 15R of land. However, they are claiming to be the owner of 30R of land in the said survey number. According to them, they have made construction in their own land and there is no encroachment over 15R of land belonging to the plaintiff.

¶25

Both the Courts below have recorded the concurrent findings. The encroachment is not established. It is a question of fact. The second appeals are dismissed.
