The petitioner, being a member of the Indore Textile Employees Co-operative Housing Society, respondent No.3, purchased a plot No. 201 in Textile Clerk Colony, Pardeshipura, Indore from respondent No.3. The respondents No.4 to 7 designedly attempted to forcibly encroach upon the disputed plot No. 201. As such, the petitioner filed Civil Suit No. 87-A/87 on 2.2.87 for declaration of title and permanent injunction in respect of plot No. 201 in the Court of Civil Judge, respondent No. 1. An application for temporary injunction was also filed and the Court directed maintenance of status quo.
