2. For the sake of convenience, the parties shall be referred to in terms of their status in Civil Suit No. 125-A of 2002.

3. This Court vide its order dated 15.04.2005 has stayed the decree so far as it relates to delivery of possession till the next date of hearing and this Court admitted the appeal vide its order dated 27.08.2015 on the following substantial question of law:

    “Whether the finding of the first appellate Court regarding title of the plaintiff to the suit land is perverse?”

4. The brief facts as reflected from the record are that the plaintiff filed a civil suit for removing construction of wall, suit property and for possession. The plaintiff has purchased the diverted land bearing Khasra No. 2017/14/19 area 0.02 acres (860) sq. ft. situated at Ranimandir, Mahasamund, Tehsil Mahasamund from Bhansilal. It has been further contended that Nathuram who was father of Bhansilal has purchased one part of property bearing Khasra No 2017/1 from Tiharu for sale consideration of Rs. 550/- through sale deed dated 12-11-1973 in the name of Bhansilal, but during mutation proceeding it has been written as 2014/14/19 by the Patwari instead of Khasra No. 2017/14/19. It has been further averred in the plaint that in the north side of the suit property there is house of J.L. and in the west side of suit property, there is a house of Ghorelal Joshi, in the east side of the suit property there is a house of Vishal in which defendant is residing. As per the boundary prescribed, the land pertains to 2017/14/19 the Khasra number which has been mentioned in the sale agreement 2014/14/19 is not a conclusive proof.

5. Plaintiff has purchased the above mentioned property (suit property) from Bhansailal through registered sale deed. In pursuance of the agreement, the plaintiff has given Rs. 7000/- to Bhansilal on 18-6-1991 and a registered sale deed was executed and when the fact was brought to his notice that khasra number has wrongly been mentioned in the sale deed, he asked Bhansilal to correct it and in pursuance of their discussion, they executed registered correction deed on 12.06.2001.

On this factual foundation, the plaintiff has filed the suit and prayed that the defendant may kindly be directed to demolish the wall constructed in the suit property and also to grant open possession of place mentioned in the schedule with cost.

6. The defendant has filed written statement denying the allegation made in the plaint averment, mainly contending that he has purchased the suit property bearing khasra No. 2017/14/19 measuring 860 sq. ft. from Chhabiram.
