¶28

6 . The defendant Nos.9 to 12 are the stranger purchasers. As such,

¶29

they (defendant Nos.9 to 12) are not the family members of plaintiff and defendant Nos.1 to 8.

¶30

The properties described in three lots in Schedule ‘A’ of the plaint

¶31

are the joint and undivided properties of the plaintiff and defendant Nos.1 to 8 and the same are the suit properties. The said suit properties have not

¶32

been divided/partitioned between them (plaintiff and defendant Nos.1 to

¶33

at any time as yet through any metes and bounds partition.

¶34

Page 3 of 20

¶35

¶36

The suit plot Nos.2249, 2251 & 2252 are the joint and undivided dwelling house of the plaintiff and defendant Nos.1 to 8. The suit plot No.2250 had/has been using by them (plaintiff and defendant Nos.1 to 8) as Rasta to their aforesaid joint and undivided dwelling house situated on plot Nos.2249, 2251 & 2252. The suit plot No.2247 is their joint and undivided Gadia (Pond) of the plaintiff and defendant Nos.1 to 8. Their ancestral house was over suit plot No.2248, which was collapsed in the last cyclone of the year 1982.

¶37

When, the stranger defendant Nos.9 to 12 tried to enter into their undivided dwelling house vide Plot Nos.2247, 2248 & 2250 claiming that, their predecessor Jagabandhu Palei had purchased the same from defendant No.1 (Kangali Sahu) and as the defendant Nos.9 to 12 have no right to enter into and possess the joint and undivided dwelling house of the plaintiff and defendant Nos.1 to 8, then without getting any way, the plaintiff approached the Civil Court by filing the suit vide T.S. No.130 of 1983 praying for partition of his legitimate share along with the shares of the defendant Nos.1 to 8 from the suit properties and also prayed for passing a decree entitling him (plaintiff) to re-purchase the properties, those were sold by the defendant No.1 from plot Nos.2247, 2248 & 2250

¶38

Page 4 of 20

¶39

¶40

to the predecessor of the defendant Nos.9 to 12 i.e. Jagabandhu Palei along with other reliefs, to which, he (plaintiff) is entitled for.

¶41

7 . Having been noticed from the Trial Court in the suit vide T.S. No.130 of 1983, except defendant Nos.10 to 12, other defendants were set ex parte . The defendant Nos.10 to 12 contested the suit of the plaintiff filing their joint written statement taking their stands inter alia therein that, their predecessor Jagabandhu Palei had purchased the separate/divided properties of suit plot Nos.2247, 2248 & 2250 under Khata No.454 from the defendant No.1 through registered sale deeds dated 18.07.1957 and 18.02.1958 respectively and their predecessor Jagabandhu Palei was possessing his above purchased properties separately since the date of his purchase. Because, plot Nos.2247, 2248 & 2250 are not the homestead lands of the plaintiff and defendant Nos.1 to 8. The said purchased properties have been using by them (defendant Nos.10 to 12) as their Bari land. As, they (defendant Nos.10 to 12) have been possessing the suit properties separately as their Bari land since the time of their predecessor Jagabandhu Palei, for which, they had/have their title and possession over the same, in which, he plaintiff and defendant Nos.1 to 8 have no interest. They (defendant Nos.9 to 12) have perfected

¶42

Page 5 of 20

¶43

¶44

their title over the suit properties through adverse possession on the basis of their long and continuous possession. The plaintiff and defendant Nos.1 to 8 have no interest in the same. The plaintiff is not entitled to repurchase the same from them (defendant Nos.9 to 12).

¶45

Therefore, the suit of the plaintiff is liable to be dismissed against them (defendant Nos.9 to 12).

¶46

8 . Basing upon the aforesaid pleadings and matters in controversies

¶47

between the parties, altogether 7 (seven) numbers of issues were framed by the Trial Court in the suit vide T.S. No.130 of 1983 and the said issues

¶48

are:-

¶49

I S S U E S

¶50

(i) Is the suit maintainable?

¶51

(ii) Is the suit lands are the undivided dwelling house of the plaintiff and his co-sharers?

¶52

(iii) Had the plaintiff his residential house on suit plot No.2248?

¶53

(iv) Have the defendants perfected their title over the suit land by way of adverse possession?

¶54

(v) Are the sale deeds dated 11.04.53, 18.03.55, 18.07.57 and 18.02.58 valid and binding?

¶55

(vi) What relief, if any, the plaintiff is entitled to?

¶56

(vii) Whether the plaintiff is entitled to the relief U/s.4 of the Partition Act?

¶57

Page 6 of 20

¶58

¶59

9 . In order to substantiate the aforesaid relief(s) sought for by the plaintiff against the defendants in the suit vide T.S. No.130 of 1983, he (plaintiff) examined four numbers of witnesses from his side including him as P.W.1 and relied upon series of documents on his behalf vide Exts.1 to 4/a.

¶60

On the contrary, in order to nullify/defeat the suit of the plaintiff, the defendant Nos.10 to 12 examined 5 (five) witnesses from their side including defendant No.10 as D.W.1 and exhibited series of documents on their behalf vide Exts.A to K.

¶61

10 . After conclusion of hearing and on perusal of the materials, documents and evidence available in the Record, the Trial Court answered all the issues in favour of the plaintiff and against the defendant Nos.9 to 12 and basing upon the findings and observations made by the Trial Court in the issues in favour of the plaintiff and against the defendant Nos.9 to 12, the Trial Court decreed the suit of the plaintiff preliminarily for partition vide T.S. No.130 of 1983 on contest against the defendant Nos.10 to 12 and ex parte against the remaining defendants and passed the decree for partition/division of the suit properties between the plaintiff and defendant Nos.1 to 8 in lot wise indicating about the same

¶62

Page 7 of 20

¶63

¶64

specifically in the ordering portion of the judgment of the suit entitling the plaintiff to get the relief under Section 4 of the Partition Act, 1893 for repurchasing the suit Plot Nos.2247, 2248 & 2250 from the defendant Nos.9 to 12 on payment of prevailing price to be fixed during the final decree proceeding and directed them (defendant Nos.9 to 12) to execute the sale deed in respect of the suit plot Nos.2247, 2248 & 2250 in favour of the plaintiff at his cost as per its judgment and decree dated 18.08.1989 and 28.09.1989 respectively assigning the reasons that,

¶65

“the suit plot Nos.2247, 2248 & 2250 are the joint and undivided dwelling house of the plaintiff and defendant Nos.1 to 8 and the sale deeds executed by the defendant No.1 in favour of the predecessor of defendant Nos.9 to 12 in respect of the suit plot Nos.2247, 2248 & 2250 are held to be invalid and the suit properties including suit plot Nos.2247, 2248 & 2250 being the joint and undivided properties of the plaintiff and defendant Nos.1 to 8, the same has not been partitioned between them through any metes and bounds partition.”

¶66

11 . On being dissatisfied with the aforesaid judgment and decree dated 18.08.1989 and 28.09.1989 respectively passed by the Trial Court in T.S. No.130 of 1983 in favour of the plaintiff and against the defendant Nos.9 to 12, they (defendant Nos.10 & 11) challenged the same preferring the First Appeal vide T.A. No.71 of 1989 being the appellants against the

¶67

Page 8 of 20

¶68

¶69

plaintiff and defendant Nos.1 to 8 arraying them as respondent Nos.1 to 9 and also arraying defendant No.9 as the performa respondent No.10, as by that time, the defendant No.12 (Gurubari Bewa) had expired leaving behind defendant Nos.9 to 11 (appellants & respondent No.10) as her legal heirs.

¶70

12 . After hearing from both the sides, the First Appellate Court allowed that First Appeal vide T.A. No.71 of 1989 and set aside to the entire judgment and decree passed by the Trial Court in the suit vide T.S. No.130 of 1983 in favour of the plaintiff and dismissed the suit vide T.S. No.130 of 1983 of the plaintiff in toto as per its judgment and decree dated 30.06.1993 and 13.07.1993 respectively passed in T.A. No.71 of 1989 assigning the reasons that,

¶71

“ the suit plot Nos.2247, 2248 & 2250 are not the joint and undivided properties of the plaintiff and defendant Nos.1 to 8, but, the same have been possessing and using by the defendant Nos.10 to 12 for cultivation purpose as their Bari keeping the same within one enclosure to the exclusion of others including the plaintiff and defendant Nos.1 to 8. Therefore, the plaintiff is not entitled to get the decree under Section 4 of the Partition Act, 1893. So, the judgment and decree passed by the Trial Court in the suit vide T.S. No.130 of 1983 is set aside and the suit vide T.S. No.130 of 1983 filed by the plaintiff is dismissed .”

¶72

Page 9 of 20

¶73

¶74

13 . On being aggrieved with the aforesaid judgment and decree dated 30.06.1993 and 13.07.1993 respectively passed by the learned 1^st Appellate Court in T.A. No.71 of 1989 in dismissing the suit of the plaintiff vide T.S. No.130 of 1983 setting aside its judgment and decree passed by the learned Trial Court, he (plaintiff) challenged the same preferring this 2^nd appeal being the appellant against the defendant Nos.9 to 11 arraying them as respondent Nos.9 to 11 and also arraying the defendant Nos.1 to 8 as proforma respondents.

¶75

When, during the pendency of the 2^nd appeal, the appellant (plaintiff) expired, then his LRs were substituted in his place as appellant Nos.1(a) to 1(g).

¶76

14 . This 2^nd appeal was admitted on formulation of the following substantial question of law i.e.:-

¶77

Whether according to the facts and circumstances of the case, the lower appellate Court erred in holding that, Section 4 of the Partition Act, 1893 has no application to the case?

¶78

15 . I have already heard from the learned counsel for the LRs of appellant (plaintiff) and learned counsel for the respondent Nos.9 to 11.

¶79

16 . The plaintiff filed the suit vide T.S. No.130 of 1983 praying for repurchasing suit plot Nos.2247, 2248 & 2250 from defendant Nos.9 to

¶80

Page 10 of 20

¶81

¶82

12 stating that, the defendant Nos.9 to 12 are the stranger purchasers of the suit plot Nos.2247, 2248 & 2250 and the said suit plot Nos.2247, 2248 & 2250 are their joint and undivided dwelling house and for partition of the entire suit properties described in Schedule ‘A’ including suit plot Nos.2247, 2248 & 2250 between him (plaintiff) and defendant Nos.1 to 8.

¶83

It has been established as per the concurrent findings of the learned Trial Court as well as learned 1^st appellate Court that, the defendant Nos.9 to 12 are not the same caste people of the plaintiff and defendant Nos.1 to

¶84

They (defendant Nos.9 to 12) belong to separate caste. As such, the defendant Nos.9 to 12 are strangers to the family of the plaintiff and defendant Nos.1 to 8. The plaintiff has filed the suit as a co-sharer of the suit plot Nos.2247, 2248 & 2250 with defendant Nos.1 to 8 praying for repurchasing the same from the stranger purchasers (defendant Nos.9 to 12).

¶85

17 . It is the settled propositions of law that, a co-sharer cannot file an application under Section 4 of the Partition Act, 1893 praying for repurchasing the suit properties from the stranger purchasers, unless the stranger purchaser/purchasers file a suit for partition of their purchased

¶86

Page 11 of 20

¶87

¶88

properties. For which, only in a suit for partition filed by the stranger purchasers, the co-sharer of the same like the plaintiff can file an application under Section-4 of the Partition Act, 1893 praying for repurchasing the same, otherwise such prayer of any co-sharer like the plaintiff under Section-4 of the Partition Act, 1893 is not entertainable under law.

¶89

On this aspect, the propositions of law has already been clarified by the Apex Court and Hon’ble Courts in the ratio of the following decisions:-

¶90

(i) In a case between Ghanteswar Ghosh Vrs. Madan Mohan Ghosh reported in 1996 (11) SCC 446 that, an application under Section 4 of the Partition Act, 1893 is maintainable, only when the stranger transferee filed the suit for partition and separate possession of the undivided share transferred to him by the co-owner of the applicants concerned or else the petition under Section-4 of the Partition Act, 1893 is not maintainable under law.

¶91

(ii) In a case between Gautam Paul Vrs. Debi Rani Paul and others reported in AIR 2001 (SC) 61 & (2000) 8 SCC 330 and Babulal Vrs. Habibnoor Khan (Dead) by LRs & Others reported in AIR 2000 (SC) 2684 that, unless there is initiation of proceeding or the making of a claim to partition by the stranger purchaser of share in a family dwelling house, the co-sharers do not get right to claim preemption.

¶92

(iii) In a case between Purna Chandra Mallik Vrs. Smt. Renuka Jena and others reported in 2007 (1) C.J.D. (H.C.) 147 that, a co-sharer cannot file application for preemption and re-purchase the property, unless the strangerpurchaser files the suit for partition. (Para 8)

¶93

Page 12 of 20

¶94

¶95

(iv) In a case between Rama Chandra Prusty (Since Dead) represented by his legal heirs Rabindra Kumar Prusty and another Vrs. Bidyadhar Prusty and others reported in 2016 (I) CLR—1058 that, right to re-purchase under Section 4 of the Partition Act, 1893 is available to a co-parcener/co-owner/co-sharer, only when the transferee has sued for partition.

¶96

(v) In a case between Kabita Acharya Vrs. Basanta Kumar Layak and others reported in 2017 (3) CCC 19 (Orissa) that, for invoking Section 4 of the Partition Act, 1893, stranger/transferee must sue for partition and separate possession. Till the stranger transferee moves an application for separating her share, Section-4 of Partition Act, 1893 cannot be pressed into service.

¶97

(vi) In a case between Bidyadhar Behera & Others Vrs. Nilakantha Rout and another reported in 2018 (I) CLR 864 & 2018 (1) OJR 378 that, plaintiff, a co-sharer cannot maintain a suit claiming the right of pre-emption. He can exercise the right in a suit for partition and separate possession brought by stranger transferee. (Paras 10 & 11)

¶98

18 . As per the findings and observations made in the Para-11 of the learned Trial Court in its judgment and decree, it has been specifically held by the learned Trial Court that, the sales made by the defendant No.1 in favour of the predecessor of defendant Nos.9 to 12 i.e. Jagabandhu Palei through the sale deeds in respect of the suit plot Nos.2247, 2248 & 2250 are invalid under law.

¶99

The said observations made by the learned Trial Court i.e. the sale deeds in favour of the predecessor of the defendant Nos.9 to 12 in respect of suit plot Nos.2247, 2248 & 2250 as invalid cannot be sustainable under

law.

Page 13 of 20

Because, Section 44 of the T.P. Act, 1882 provides inherent power for alienation of the properties by a co-sharer. For which, the sales made by the co-owner/co-sharer of the plaintiff i.e. defendant No.1 in favour of Jagabandhu Palei (predecessor of defendant Nos.9 to 12) in respect of suit plot Nos.2247, 2248 & 2250 shall remain valid to the extent of his share therein.

¶104

On this aspect, the propositions of law has already been clarified by the Hon’ble Courts and Apex Court in the ratio of the following

¶105

decisions:-

¶106

(i) In a case between Ganapath Sahu and another Vrs. Smt. Bulli Sahu and Others reported in 1974 (1) CWR 222, In a case between Gorakh Nath Dube Vrs. Hari Narain Singh and others reported in AIR 1973 (SC) 2451,

¶107

In a case between Dillip Kumar Sahoo Vrs. Smt. Malati Rout and others reported in 2013 (I) CLR—570—

¶108

& In a case between Manoj Kumar Nayak and another Vrs. Guna Mohanty and Ors reported in 116 (2013) CLT 209 that, transfer of property more than transferor’s interest in land jointly held with others is not invalid in toto. It would be valid and operative to the extent to transferor’s interest in the lands. (Para 10)

¶109

(ii) In a case between T.Ravi and another Vrs. B. Chinna Narasimha and Ors. reported in (II) 2017 Civ.L.T. 185 (SC) (at Para 40) that, a co-sharer has right to alienate his own share only, which he had in the property i.e. to the extent of his share only. The vendor has no authority to sell the land of other co-sharers.

¶110

(iii) In a case between Ahamad Khan and others Vrs. Bhaskar Ddatt Pandey and others reported in 2024 (3) CCC (Madhya Pradesh) 307 ( at Para 13 ) that, a lthough a co-sharer can alienate to the extent of his share, but he cannot alienate any specific piece of land .

¶111

Page 14 of 20

¶112

¶113

(iv) In a case between Balwinder Singh Vrs. Gurucharan Singh reported in 2010 (4) Civil Court Cases 05 (Punjab & Haryana) that, as per the settled law, any alienation out of the joint property by a co sharer would amount to alienation of the property out of the share. Even there is alienation of any specific Khasara number or specific portion, the same amounts to alienation of the share of the vendor, which is subject to adjustment at the time of partition.

¶114

(v) In a case between Tankadhar Pradhan Vrs. Bimala Naik @ Dei (dead) and others reported in 2024 (2) CCC 166 (Orissa) that , alienation by co-owner (co-sharer) shall be valid to the extent of his/her share only.

¶115

19 . Here in this matter at hand, when the stranger transferees i.e. defendant Nos.9 to 12 have not filed any suit for partition praying for partition of their purchased properties vide plot Nos.2247, 2248 & 2250 and when without any suit for partition of the stranger purchasers i.e. defendant Nos.9 to 12, the plaintiff has prayed for the relief i.e. under Section-4 of the Partition Act, 1893 in the suit vide T.S. No.130 of 1983 filed by him (plaintiff) for repurchasing the suit plot Nos.2247, 2248 & 2250 from the defendant Nos.9 to 12, then at this juncture, in view of the propositions of law enunciated in the ratio of the aforesaid decisions, the relief sought for by the plaintiff (appellant in this 2^nd appeal) under Section-4 of the Partition Act, 1893 for re-purchasing the suit plot Nos.2247, 2248 & 2250 from the defendant Nos.9 to 12 is not entertainable under law.

¶116

Page 15 of 20

¶117

¶118

20 . It has been observed by the learned 1^st Appellate Court in its judgment and decree reversing the observations made by the learned Trial Court that, the suit plot Nos.2247, 2248 & 2250 are not the undivided dwelling house of the plaintiff and defendant Nos.1 to 8, but the same are the cultivable lands of the defendant Nos.9 to 12.

¶119

The above findings of the learned 1^st Appellate Court have become inacceptable under law, as it is established through the unassailed oral and documentary evidence of the plaintiff that, the suit plot No.2250 is a Rasta and the suit plot No.2247 is a Gadia (pond). So, the question of using Rasta and Gadia as cultivable lands of the defendant Nos.9 to 12 does not arise.

¶120

Therefore, the findings and observations made by the learned Trial Court that, suit plot Nos.2247, 2248, 2249 & 2250 were/are the undivided dwelling house of the plaintiff and defendant Nos.1 to 8 cannot be held as unreasonable.

¶121

21 . As per the discussions and observations made above, when the findings and observations made by the learned 1^st Appellate Court that, the suit plot Nos.2247, 2248 & 2250 are cultivable lands of the defendant Nos.9 to 12 have become unsustainable under law and when it is held

¶122

Page 16 of 20

¶123

¶124

above that, the suit plot Nos.2247, 2248 & 2250 are the undivided dwelling house of the plaintiff and defendant Nos.1 to 8 and when, the final conclusion drawn by the learned 1^st Appellate Court in its impugned judgment and decree that, the relief under Section 4 of the Partition Act, 1893 sought for by the plaintiff in the suit vide T.S. No.130 of 1983 against the defendant Nos.9 to 12 is not entertainable, has become acceptable, as the plaintiff is precluded under law to make such a prayer under Section 4 of the Partition Act, 1893 in his own suit and when, it is established that, the suit properties being the joint and undivided properties of the plaintiff and defendant Nos.1 to 8, the same have not been partitioned between them (plaintiff and defendant Nos.1 to 8) through any metes and bound partition as yet, then at this juncture, the judgment and decree passed by the learned 1^st Appellate Court in dismissing the entire suit vide T.S. No.130 of 1983 of the plaintiff indirectly refusing the relief for partition of the plaintiff after setting aside the judgment and decree passed by the learned Trial Court cannot be sustainable under law.

¶125

Because, the plaintiff is entitled to get the decree for partition of the suit properties, though he (plaintiff) is not entitled for the relief under

¶126

Page 17 of 20

¶127

¶128

Section 4 of the Partition Act, 1893 for repurchasing the suit plots from the defendant Nos.9 to 12.

¶129

Therefore, there is justification under law for making interference in part with the judgment and decree passed by the learned Trial Court as well as learned 1^st Appellate Court through this 2^nd Appeal filed by the plaintiff. For which, this 2^nd Appeal filed by the plaintiff (appellant) is to be decreed in part.

¶130

As such, there is some merit in this 2^nd Appeal filed by the appellant. The same is to be allowed in part.

¶131

22 . In result, the 2^nd appeal filed by the appellant (plaintiff) is decreed in part on contest, but without cost.

¶132

The judgment and decree passed by the learned 1^st Appellate Court in setting aside the entire judgment and decree of the learned Trial Court is set aside.

¶133

The judgment and decree passed by the learned Trial Court concerning the decree for repurchasing the suit plot Nos.2247, 2248 & 2250 from the defendant Nos.9 to 12 in favour of the plaintiff is set aside, but, whereas the judgment and decree concerning the partition of the suit properties between the plaintiff and defendant Nos.1 to 8 in lot wise

¶134

Page 18 of 20

¶135

¶136

carving out their shares in the ordering portion of the judgment and decree of the learned Trial Court is confirmed.

¶137

The suit be and the same filed by the plaintiff (appellant in this 2^nd Appeal) against the defendants in respect of the suit properties described in lot Nos.1 to 3 of the Schedule ‘A’ is decreed preliminarily for partition on contest against the defendant Nos.10 to 12 and ex parte against other defendants, but under the circumstances without cost.

¶138

Out of the suit properties described in lot Nos.1 to 3 of the Schedule ‘A’ of the plaint, the plaintiff and defendant Nos.1 to 8 are entitled to get their shares in lot wise indicated in the ordering portion of the judgment and decree of the learned Trial Court subject to the adjustment of the sales made by the plaintiff and defendant Nos.1 to 8 from their respective shares.

¶139

23 . The parties (plaintiff and defendant Nos.1 to 8) may amicably effect partition of the suit properties in proportion to their respective shares as indicated in the ordering portion of the judgment and decree passed by the learned Trial Court in lot wise within a period of 3 months hence, failing which, any one of the parties between the plaintiff and defendant Nos.1 to 8 may apply to the Court for making the decree final.

¶140

Page 19 of 20

¶141

¶142

In the final decree proceeding, Civil Court Commissioner to be appointed by the Court shall make division of the suit properties amongst the plaintiff and defendant Nos.1 to 8 by allotting their respective shares in their favour in accordance with the apportionments made in the judgment and decree of the learned Trial Court and while so partitioning, he shall respect to the possession and convenience of the parties (plaintiff and defendant Nos.1 to 8).
