Case brief

AI extract

What is this about?

The High Court disposed of two miscellaneous appeals regarding temporary injunctions. The Court held that an interim order from a coordinate High Court bench maintaining status quo applies only to specified Khasra numbers. The subordinate court correctly refused extension to other lands where partition had occurred, involving different defendants.

What did the court decide?

Both appeals disposed; interim order of coordinate bench maintained for specified Khasra numbers; injunction cannot extend to other partitioned lands.

¶44

Mr. Narendra Thanvi and Mr. Muktesh Maheshwari, both the learned counsels appearing for the petitioner, Chhanwar Singh S/o Mangala Ram @ Mangal Singh, submitted that the interim order dated 26.09.2012 was granted after hearing both the side counsels, and therefore, the status quo of the entire land should be maintained and inter alia for the specific Khasra numbers as given in the order dated 26.09.2012, quoted above.

¶45

This argument is opposed by the learned counsel appearing for the respondents, Dr. Sachin Acharya and Mr. N.R. Choudhary, for defendants, Roop Singh @ Roopa Ram and Chailji, both sons of Sh. Kripa Ram, and Mr. S.M. Parihar, for Gyan Singh S/o Sh. Mangala Ram @ Mangal Singh (plaintiff). They submitted that the later order passed by the learned trial court on 31.10.2012 was unnecessarily influenced by the interim order dated 26.09.2012 passed a coordinate bench of this Court in connected CMA No.1992/2012 filed by appellant/plaintiff, Chhanwar Singh S/o Sh. Mangala Ram @ Mangal Singh, in a suit filed by the plaintiff for cancellation of Will executed by plaintiff's father Sh. Mangala Ram @ Mangal Singh in favour of Gyan Singh (respondent No.1 herein),

¶46

¶47

who is the real brother of plaintiff, Chhanwar Singh, but the plaintiff, Chhanwar Singh, cannot claim any right with respect to shares of brothers of Mangala Ram, i.e. Chhelji and Roop Singh, which partition took place way back in the year 1963 and, therefore, the interim order granted by a coordinate bench of this Court on 26.09.2012, though specifying the Khasra number(s) in the same which were in the share of Mangala Ram only but under the guise of that interim order only, the learned trial court refused to grant temporary injunction in favour of applicant, Roop Singh @ Roopa Ram by order dated 31.10.2012 when the plaintiff, Roop Singh was sought to be stopped by creating obstruction in the construction of boundary wall by the plaintiff on the basis of said interim order dated 26.09.2012.

¶48

Having heard the learned counsels for the parties, this Court is of the opinion that both the appeals can be disposed of at this stage by directing the learned trial court that the interim order granted by a coordinate bench of this Court dated 26.09.2012, which duly specified the Khasra number(s), cannot beyond the parameters of that order and no further injunction could have been granted or believed to have been granted by the learned trial court in respect of other lands for which a partition took place way back in the year 1963 and the defendant, Roop Singh @ Roopa Ram S/o Kripa Ram, and Chailji S/o Kripa Ram, took their portion of their respective land holdings. Since the interim order dated 26.09.2012 was granted after hearing both the counsels, therefore, that order can be allowed to continue till the trial is completed in the suit filed by the Chhanwar

Singh S/o Sh. Mangala Ram @ Mangal Singh, against his own brother, namely, Gyan Singh, but that order cannot adversely affect the land holdings of other defendants, namely, Roop Singh @ Roopa Ram and Chhelji, both sons of Sh. Kripa Ram @ Kripu.

¶53

Therefore, both the appeals are, accordingly, disposed of and it is further made clear that any construction raised on the land in question by any of the parties or any alienation of their land holdings, if any made by the any party, shall remain subject to the final decision of the suit filed by the plaintiff.

¶54

With these observations, both the misc. appeals are disposed of. No costs. A copy of this order be sent to the concerned parties and the court below forthwith.
