3.
The case of the plaintiffs before the Trial Court
that they have filed the suit for the relief of 1/6th share
each in the suit schedule property. It is contended that
Kunduwada Danappa married one Muddamma and in the
said wedlock, they had three sons namely Kallappa,
Rudrappa and Hanumanthappa and two daughters namely
Annapurnamma and Adivemma. The said Danappa had
some ancestral properties. After the death of said
- 4 -
Danappa, his children got divided the properties and in the
partition, Hanumanthappa i.e., third son of Danappa had
been derived with a title over the land measuring 1 acre
15 guntas in Sy.No.45/2Cp, situated at Kunduwada
village, Davanagere. The said land is now given with new
number as Sy.No.45/9. The said Hanumanthappa married
two wives namely Rathnamma and Shobha i.e., defendant
Nos.1 and 2 and plaintiff Nos. 1 to 4 are the daughters of
said Hanumanthappa and his wives. It is contended that
the father of the plaintiffs was not so worldly-wise and he
was addicted to bad vices as a result, he was suffering
from ill-health. Consequently, in the year 2018, said
Hanumantappa died intestate leaving behind his two wives
and the plaintiffs as his Class-I legal heirs. The plaintiffs
submitted that after they got married, they could not
concentrate on the suit schedule property and about 3 to 4
months ago, they came to know that defendant Nos.3 and
4 have got mutated the katha in respect of suit schedule
property in their names by concocting the documents and
they are making hectic efforts to get the suit schedule
- 5 -
property alienated and to change its nature in order to
defeat the right of the plaintiffs. Hence, they filed the suit.
4.
In pursuance to the suit summons, defendant
No.3 appeared and filed the written statement and
defendant No.4 adopted the said written statement
wherein it is contended that the suit schedule property
was purchased in the year 1998 and got the khatha of the
property mutated in their names as per M.R.No.123/1998-
99 and they are in exclusive possession of the property. It
is also contended that the plaintiffs have come before this
Court after the lapse of 24 years of sale and also
contended that the suit schedule property is converted and
formed the layout and defendant Nos.1 and 2 who are the
co-executant of the registered sale deed are also aware of
the sale and now they cannot contended that recently they
came to know about the same and also contended that
they got converted the property vide order dated
03.09.2018
passed
by
the
Deputy
Commissioner,
Davanagere.

The Trial Court having considered the pleadings
of the parties, discussed that the property was already
sold in the year 1998 itself and the revenue records are
also changed in the name of the purchasers and
subsequently the property also converted by obtaining the
order of Deputy Commissioner hence, comes to the
conclusion that the plaintiffs have not made out any
grounds to grant an order of temporary injunction
restraining defendant Nos.3 and 4 from alienating the suit
schedule property.
6.
The
learned
counsel
appearing
for
the
appellants would vehemently contends that when the sale
was made in the year 1998, they are minors hence, the
same is not within the knowledge of the appellants and
they are having right in the suit schedule property and the
father was not having any exclusive right to sell the
property thus the defendant Nos.3 and 4 may be
restrained from alienating the suit schedule property

otherwise
the
same
would

multiplicity
of
proceedings.
