X. 1. He was allegedly put in possession of vacant land. When there was dispute about his title, he filed the suit being O. S. No. 676 of 1990 for declaration of title and recovery of possession based on the assignment made in his favour. The Suit was decreed on 26. 07. 1991. by the Court of III additional Junior Civil Judge, Nellore, against respondents 5 and 6 herein, who were defendants 1 and 2 in the suit. The petitioner, therefore, filed E. P. No. 69 of 1993 for execution of the decree. At that stage, Jaladanki Saroja, filed E. A. No. 96 of 1993 under Order xxi Rule 97 of Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (CPC ). She alleged that she was assigned plot No. 3 in survey No. 78/4, that she was in possession of the property and that she obtained ex parte decree in o. S. No. 538 of 1989, dated 20. 09. 1992 on the file of the Court of the Principal Junior Civil Judge, Nellore, against the petitioner herein. The said execution application was dismissed on 30. 06. 1995 on the ground that the property claimed by Saroja is different from the suit schedule property in O. S. No. 676 of 1990. Saroja filed C. R. P. No. 2452 of 1995 against E. A. No. 96 of 1993, dated 30. 06. 1995. This Court dismissed the same on 19. 02. 2002. The petitioner herein then executed decree in o. S. No. 676 of 1990 and took possession of the site as well as a residential house, which was allegedly the same as suit schedule in O. S. No. 676 of 1990. Saroja, however, disputed this. Throughout her contention was that the land, which was assigned to her and the house, which was constructed, are in survey no. 78/4 bearing plot No. 3, which is different from the suit schedule property in the suit filed by the petitioner. Taking such a plea, she filed E. A. No. 363 of 2002 under Section 144 of CPC on the file of the Court of III Additional Junior Civil Judge, Nellore. She prayed for restoration of the property from which she was dispossessed by the Court bailiff in purported execution of the decree in O. S. No. 676 of 1990. E. A. No. 363 of 2002 was allowed on 21. 10. 2002. The petitioner then filed C. M. A. No. 69 of 2002 on the file of the III Additional District Judge, Nellore.
