Versus
Executive Engineer P.W.D. Jhunjhunu & Ors. - Respondent
S.B. Civil Revision Petition No. 134 of 1986.
Decided On : 23-05-1989

Advocates:
For the Petitioner:Mr. S.M. Ali, Advocate.
For the Non-petitioner: Mr. G.C. Chatterji G.A.

The court's decision was based on the principle that if the land where the road is to be constructed is a part of the burial ground, then no road shall be constructed in the burial ground.

Headnote:

Revision - Temporary Injunction - Burial Ground - The court allowed the revision petition, directing the non-petitioners not to construct any road in the burial ground, Khasra No. 772, and ordered demarcation to determine the extent of the burial ground. If the road fell within the burial ground, it was not to be constructed.

Fact of the Case:

The petitioner's appeal for temporary injunction was dismissed by the lower courts as they did not find all the ingredients in favor of the petitioner.

Finding of the Court:

The court allowed the revision petition based on the admission that Khasra No. 772 is a burial ground and directed the non-petitioners not to construct any road in the burial ground.

Issues: The issue was whether the road should be allowed to be constructed in the burial ground, Khasra No. 772.

Ratio Decidendi: The court's decision was influenced by the admission that Khasra No. 772 is a burial ground and ordered demarcation to determine the extent of the burial ground.

Final Decision: The court allowed the revision petition, directing the non-petitioners not to construct any road in the burial ground, Khasra No. 772, and ordered demarcation to determine the extent of the burial ground. If the road fell within the burial ground, it was not to be constructed.

JUDGMENT

1. - This revision is directed against the order of the learned District Judge Jhunjhunu dated 5.2.1986 whereby the petitioner's appeal was dismissed and the order of the Munsif & Judicial Magistrate Jhunjhunu dated 29.1.86 was upheld and the petitioner's application for grant of temporary injunction was rejected. Both the courts below did not find all the ingredients in favour of the petitioner and consequently the application of the petitioner was rejected.

2. Having heard learned counsel for the parties in my opinion this revision petition deserves to be allowed in view of the admitted fact that Khasra No. 772 is a burial ground and the petitioner's case is that road be not allowed to be constructed in the burial ground. The non-petitioners who had submitted the reply in the trial court have admitted that Khasra No. 772 is a burial ground. In view of this admission it would be proper to direct the non-petitioners not to construct any road in Khasra No. 772. What is the extent of Khasra No. 772 towards South may be got determined by getting South boundary of Khasra No. 772 demarcated. The non-petitioners may get it demarcated from the competent authority and after such demarcation if it is found that the land on which road is being or sought to be constructed does not fall within Khasra No. 772 the non-petitioners would be at liberty to construct the road. In case on demarcation it is found that the land where the road is to be constructed is a part of Khasra No. 772 then no road shall be constructed in Khasra No. 772.

3. The revision petition is therefore decided accordingly. The parties shall bear their own costs of this revision petition.Revision decided accordingly.
