Thus, suit was filed for permanent injunction.

4. Defendant filed written statement and contended inter alia that the defendant purchased the suit schedule property under a registered sale deed, dated 19.04.2010 from A. Sanjamma; that the Secretary, Gram Panchayath, Pattikonda accorded permission on 25.06.2010 for construction of the house; that Panchayath Secretary, Gram Panchayath, Pattikonda also issued receipt for construction of house fee for Rs.790/- on 14.10.2010; that plaintiff who is having no right is trying to grab the defendant’s property and hence, prayed to dismiss the suit.
