The Chief Justice.-This is an appeal against the order made by our learned brother Satyanarayana Rao on the 25th

May, 1948 as one of the vacation Judges during the summer recess of that year in the following circumstances.

The Srirangam Municipality which is the appellant before us, issued a notice to the respondent purporting to be under

section 182 of the Madras District Municipalities Act directing him to deliver possession of an extent of 30 cents of land

in T.S.No. 1513 on the northern and eastern side of T.S.No. 1509 and to remove the fence he had put up thereon on

the ground that the respondent had encroached on land belonging to the Municipality. This notice was served on the

respondent on the 25th February, 1948. He thereupon filed a suit O.S.No. 250 of 1948 in the Court of the District

Munsiff of Trichinopoly against the Municipality represented by its Commissioner for a declaration of his title to and for

the maintenance of his possession of the land in dispute. Along with the plaint he filed an application for an interim

injunction restraining the Commissioner of the Municipality From interfering with his possession pending disposal of the

suit. Notice of the application
