Shah. Plaintiff Rajendrakumar Shankarbhai Bhagia filed the above said suit stating that he became member of Vimal Cooperative Housing Society Limited in 1980 and was allotted a plot of land admeasuring 10000 sq. feet.

In 1986-87, the plaintiff intended to erect a construction in the said plot of land which was numbered as Plot No. 71-72 at the relevant time and he was granted permission by concerned competent authority. Necessary documents were produced along with the plaint. The plaintiff could not construct on the plot for his own reason but thereafter plaintiff came to know that around 7th of January, 2001 that Cooperating Housing Society was constructing a temple on Plot No. 71 allotted to him. Some averments are made in the plaint that he tried to contact Secretary and President of the Society in this respect who informed that the plaintiff could not have any objection in construction of building of temple. While thereafter plaintiff verified the revenue record, he found that within the plot of the plaintiff in revenue record one plot was demarcated and allotted to original defendant No. 6 Mr. Ratilal C. Shah admeasuring 3072 sq. feet of land. The plaintiff, according to him, was never given an opportunity of being heard in making these changes in revenue record. The plaintiff also alleged that the changes made in the revenue record is against the law established and against the provisions of the Bombay Land Revenue Code. It is the allegation of the plaintiff that the suit plot which he has more particularly described in para 5 of the plaint is owned by him and the action of original defendant No. 1 present petitioner to construct temple in his property is illegal and incontravention of law.
