¶18

This order of mine shall dispose of two Regular Second Appeals bearing Nos.3420 and 5228 of 2016 filed at the instance of defendant no.7 and respondent No.5 in the Lower Appellate Court against the concurrent findings of facts and law, whereby, they have been injuncted being co-sharers to raise the construction and change the nature of the suit property till the suit property is partitioned.

¶19

The short point involved in the present appeals is whether the defendants, who are subsequent vendees/purchasers having purchased the share from the co-sharer, Dara Singh-plaintiff, who had already raised the construction, can be injuncted or not, answer is 'not', for, even if, other cosharers had raised the construction with no objection from other co-sharers and on subsequent purchase by the appellants, they cannot strike equities at the time when other co-sharer may not have raised objection qua construction but the said objection can always be raised until the suit property is partitioned by metes and bounds.

¶20

Despite the pleadings that construction was raised at their own peril. The expression “peril” can be stretched and connected with the change in the nature of the suit property which was one of the relief sought in the plaint.

¶21

The aforementioned view of mine is derived from the ratio decidendi culled out by the Full Bench judgment rendered by this Court in Bhartu vs. Ram Sarup 1981 PLJ 204 .
