What did the court decide?
The Trial Court rightly allowed the application and appointed the Advocate Commissioner for local inspection: if the physical features of the suit property are altered and valuable trees are cut down and removed pending the partition suit, there will be a lot of complications at the time of final decree proceedings. Accordingly, this Court finds no error in the impugned order.
