According to the plaintiff, at the time of the sale of the suit property the vendor Sh. Jai Prakash, claimed that he is the son of Sh Late Nanhu and that upon his death, the said property devolved upon Sh. Nanhu Ram’s widow, six sons and three daughters, who executed a General Power of Attorney to sell, receipt etc. in favour of Sh. Jai Prakash on 4.2.1988 and now he is in possession of the said property and the owner. It was further represented by the vendor Sh. Jai Prakash that the suit property was turned into residential use.

3. After the purchase of the suit property, plaintiff started renovation on the same on 13.8.2011 with help of hired laborers/masons. The plaintiff got the waste material lying in the suit premises removed and on 15th and 16th August 2011 foundation was raised erecting two rooms in the rear portion.

4. The Plaintiff states that on 16.8.2011 at about 5pm the plaintiff left for his house and thereafter the defendant No. 1 came with some anti-social persons and snatched the key of the main gate from the mason/labourers and removed plaintiff’s lock and instead put his own lock on the gate of the suit property. Since, the labourers did not have plaintiff’s phone number therefore, plaintiff could not be informed.

5. The plaintiff was informed only on 17.8.2011 when about 10.30 am he reached the suit property to supervise the work.
