Both these judgments & decree dated 23.03.2015 and 16.09.2015 have been challenged by the appellant-plaintiff in the present second appeal.

2. Brief facts of the case are that the appellant-plaintiff (hereinafter to be referred as 'plaintiff') filed a suit for declaration and permanent injunction stating therein that the plot in dispute (No. 7) is situated at Sindhu Nagar, Murlipura, Sikar Road, Jaipur, measuring 311.11 sq. Yards, area of which was revised by the Jaipur Development Authority and a revised map of the said plot No. 7 was issued showing the area of the plot as 230.2 sq. Yards.

Therefore, the plaintiff filed a suit before the learned trial Court for restraining the defendants not to dispossess him from the property in dispute.

Gulab Devi in a scheme No. 3, Murlipura, Sikar Road, Jaipur by Laxmi Grah Nirman Sahkari Samiti and after death of their mother the defendants became owner of the plot in dispute and they are having peaceful possession of it.
