JUDGMENT
1. - By the instant writ petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, the petitioner has challenged the order Annex.11 dated 09.5.2008 and Annex.13 dated 30.5.2008.
2. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner. Carefully gone through the material placed on record.
3. It is contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that a patta was issued in favour of the father of the petitioner way back in the year 1960 and he is in possession of the land in pursuance of the patta issued in favour of his father. He has constructed a boundary wall on his own land which was sought to be demolished by the respondents for the purpose of construction of the road. The petitioner filed a civil suit before the respondent No.1. Along with the suit, the petitioner also filed an application under Order 39 Rule 1 and 2 CPC seeking temporary injunction restraining the respondents to demolish the wall and construct the road thereon. The application seeking temporary injunction was contested by the respondents and by order dated 09.05.2008, the respondent No.1 Civil Judge (Jr. Div.) Merta (for short 'the trial court' hereinafter), dismissed the application seeking temporary injunction under Order 39 Rule 1 and 2 CPC. Against order dated 09.5.2008, the petitioner filed an appeal before learned District Judge, Merta (for short 'the appellate court' hereinafter) being Civil Misc. Appeal No. 10/2008 which too came to be dismissed by order Annex.13 dated 30.05.2008. Hence this petition.
4. It is contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that it was the private respondents No.2 and 3 who encroached upon the land of Khasra No. 144 which is Gair Mumkin Rasta. The Tehsildar, Merta directed the Revenue Inspector and Patwari of the area to inspect and measure the land in dispute vide Annex.2. The site was inspected and site map was prepared by the revenue authorities i.e. Revenue Inspector, Merta and the Patwari Incharge Sogawas. Learned counsel for the petitioner has relied on a report Annex.8 which was called by the trial court by appointing a Commissioner and in that report it has been shown that a wall constructed is old one.
5. From the perusal of the site map and site inspection Note Annex.2, it appears that Khasra No.144 of village Sogawas is recorded in the revenue record as Gair Mumkin Rasta. The petitioner has his land adjacent to that of the Gair Mumkin Rasta. From the report, it appears that the petitioner has encroached upon Gair Mumkin Rasta at Point "K" and Point "I". At point "K" 3 Gatta (revenue measurement) and at point "I" 5 Gatta has been encroached on the way by constructing wall. Similarly the private respondents have also encroached upon 2 Gatta of the land of Gair Mumkin Rasta by constructing a bush from Point "D" to "H". Both the courts below, having considered the material placed on record more particularly learned District Judge while dismissing the appeal and affirming the order of the trial court, in para 7 of the order Annex.13 noticed that the petitioner has trespassed the land of Gair Mumkin Rasta which is evident prima-facie from the report submitted by the revenue authorities vide Annex.2. Though the point of patta was also argued before both the courts below and the respondents came with the contention that the patta is forged one. The original patta has not been filed before the trial court, however, photo copy of the same has been placed on record before the trial court. Be that as it may, since the question as to whether the patta is forged or not, has to be gone into in the trial of the main suit as these are the questions of facts and have to be decided when the parties adduces the evidence. At any rate, the report submitted by the Revenue Inspector Annex.2 is prima-facie evidence of revenue record that the petitioner has trespassed on the Gair Mumkin Rasta bearing Khasra No.144. It is not in dispute that Khasra No.144 has been recorded in the record of Revenue as Gair Mumkin Rasta and it has n
