After death of Babu Ram, plaintiffs and defendant No.8 being his heirs are owners of the Mandir in dispute and had been managing its affairs. However, interpolation has been made in ownership column of Khana Shumari Register. In settlement of the year 1884, the Mandir was renumbered as 312 and it was wrongly recorded to be in possession of the villagers. Defendant no.1 is a Committee, of which defendant No.2 to 7 are office bearers. They have illegally usurped the disputed Mandir, alleging the same to be of seven families of Parmar Rajput, although the Mandir belongs to only five families of plaintiffs No.1 to 4 and defendant No.8 Parmar Rajputs. Defendant No.1-Committee is unauthorized and illegal and has no authority to manage the affairs of the Mandir. However, defendants No.1 to 7 have usurped the Mandir unauthorizedly. Accordingly, plaintiffs sought declaration that plaintiffs and defendant No.8 are owners and worshippers of the Mandir and defendant No.1-Committee is illegal and without authority and defendant No.1 to 7 have no right to manage affairs of the Mandir or interfere in management and possession thereof by plaintiffs and defendant No.8. Plaintiffs also sought mandatory injunction directing defendants No.1 to 7 to handover management of the Mandir to plaintiffs and defendant No.8.
