1. The appellant has filed this appeal against the order dated 22.9.2018 passed by I ADJ, Jaora in civil regular Appeal No. 30-A/2018 whereby the learned Judge has rejected the application filed by the appellant under Order XXXIX rules 1 and 2 of CPC against the respondents.

It was further stated that the plaintiff immediately after purchase of the land in question, is in cultivation, possession in respect of the suit land. It has further been averred in the plaint that on 14.7.2012, the respondents No. 1 to 4 came on the suit land and informed the appellant that the suit land has been leasedout to them and they will cultivate it. They further threatened the appellant of dire consequences, therefore, the appellant has filed the civil suit. Respondent after service of summons of the suit filed their written statement and refuted the plaint allegations. Trial Court vide order dated 7.8.2012 allowed the application of the plaintiff filed under Order XXXIX rules 1 and 2 of CPC and granted temporary injunction in favour of the appellant. Being aggrieved by the said order dated 7.8.2012, the respondents preferred a Miscellaneous Appeal before the ADJ, Jaora. The learned Judge vide order dated 7.1.2013 dismissed the appeal filed by the respondents. Being aggrieved by the order, respondents filed a writ petition before this Court, which was registered as Writ Petition No. 808/2013. The said writ petition was dismissed vide order dated 4.9.2013, thereafter the suit filed by the appellant was finally decided on 27.6.2018, however, the trial Court found that the appellant is in possession of the suit land but yet the decree for permanent injunction has not been granted by the trial Court. Being aggrieved by the said judgment and decree, appellant has preferred first appeal before appellate Court and also moved an application for temporary injunction under Order XXXIX rules 1 and 2 of CPC. The application was supported by affidavits. The respondents have filed their reply to the application and opposed the same by contending that on 28.6.2018, they have taken over the possession in presence of the plaintiff. The learned first appellate Court after hearing both the parties and taking into consideration the material placed before him, rejected the application filed by the appellant on the basis of the statement of Ganeshlal that they have taken over possession of the land in question. The appellate Court has held that the sale-deed dated 16.2.2012 is illegal and the plaintiff has not come with clean hands. It has further been held that there is no prima facie case in favour of the plaintiff/appellant and balance of convenience is also not in his favour and if injunction is not granted, he would not suffer irreparable injury. Being aggrieved by the order dated 22.9.2018, the present appeal has been preferred by the appellant.
