in O.S No. 936 of 2019 for partition and declaration and other consequential relief. On 07.12.2022, the petitioner came to know about the allotment of Plot No. 24 to her father. Hence, the petitioner filed I.A No. 10 of 2023 in OS No. 936 of 2019. But on seeing the fact of the case, both side evidences were completed and the matter was posted for arguments at this stage the petitioner filed the said application, if such application is allowed which leads to multiplicity of proceedings and the same was rightly appreciated by the Trial Court which needs no interference.
