At the instance of the present plaintiff-appellant-petitioner, Md. Robiul Islam, this revisional application was filed under section 115(1) of the Code of Civil Procedure and the Rule was issued calling upon the opposite parties to show cause as to why the impugned Judgment and Order dated 24.08.2023 passed by the learned Senior District Juge, Dhaka in the Miscellaneous Appeal No. 104 of 2023 dismissing the appeal and thereby affirming the

Judgement and Order dated 26.01.2023 passed by the learned Joint District Judge, Court No. 1, Dhaka in the Title/Civil Suit No. 796 of 2022 rejecting the application for temporary injunction should not be set aside.
The relevant facts for disposal of this Rule, inter-alia, are that one Kerala Sarder was the owner, thereafter, having to possess the scheduled land by his 2 sons, namely, Horicharan Sarder and Raj Chandra Chowkider by equal shares. Horicharan sold the land to Saed Ali and S. A. Record was prepared his name. Saed Ali died leaving behind his legal heirs: wife Jhunu Bibi, 2 sons, namely, Fazar Ali and Shohor Ali, 4 daughters, namely, Shokhina Bibi, Robila Khatun, Zamila Khatun and Zamina Khatun and R. S. Record was prepared in their names. Thereafter, Zamila Khatun transferred her share to 2 nephews Fazar Ali and Shohor Ali by way of a registered Heba Deed dated 21.12.1995.

The learned Joint District Judge, Court No. 1, Dhaka rejected the application for the temporary injunction against the opposite parties on 26.01.2023. Being aggrieved the present petitioner preferred the Miscellaneous Appeal No. 104 of 2023 in the Court of the learned Senior District Judge, Dhaka challenging the legality of the said order dated 26.01.2023 passed by the learned Joint District Judge, Court No. 1, Dhaka. After hearing the parties, the learned Senior District Judge, Dhaka rejected the appeal and affirmed the impugned judgment and order passed by his judgment and order dated 24.08.2023.
Mr. Raghib Rouf Chowdhury, the learned Advocate, appearing along with the learned Advocate, Mr. K. M.
