Judgment dated 17th March 2025 bearing neutral citation 2025:BHC-GOA:607 in matter no. 204-sa-15-2010, concerning Survey No.7/1 of village Cottambi/Cotombi, Quepem taluka. NOTE: the supplied document is severely truncated - most of the 16 pages survive only as page headers/footers. The surviving record shows the plaintiff claimed (a) a permanent injunction restraining the defendant, his family members, agents, servants, workers and all persons acting or claiming through him from erecting or constructing any structure in, or interfering with, the suit property, and (b) a mandatory injunction directing demolition of the foundation of the new construction and restoration of the land. Issues framed covered the plaintiff's ownership/possession, an alleged encroachment with a structure admeasuring 75 square meters, disturbance of possession, the defendant's mundkar status (issue 4 deleted), entitlement to permanent and mandatory injunctions, jurisdiction, and post-suit construction of a 76.50 sq m structure with two palm-leaf huts and a pigsty. The surviving operative findings record that the sketch at Exbt. P-58 showed no independent structure on the southern side, that the pleaded 75/75.50 sq m illegal construction contradicted the plan (which showed 47 sq m of approved construction), that issue 6 (mandatory injunction/removal) was answered against the plaintiff, and that ownership, interference and entitlement to permanent injunction (issues 2, 3 and 5) were answered in the affirmative. The court's own reasoning, coram and final disposition are not recoverable from the supplied text; no statute or precedent citation survives.
