This misc. appeal is preferred by the appellants/defendants 1-2
challenging the judgment of remand dtd. 21.02.2005 passed by 1 st
Additional District Judge, Sagar in civil appeal No.7-A/2003
reversing the judgment and decree dtd. 29.09.2003 passed by 2 nd
Civil Judge Class-I, Sagar in civil suit No.8-A/2002, whereby
learned trial court dismissed the respondents 1-2/plaintiffs’ suit for
declaration of title and permanent injunction filed in respect of the
suit property, which in civil appeal filed by the plaintiffs has been
set aside and matter has been remanded to learned trial court for
2
decision of civil suit afresh, after getting demarcated the suit
property through Commissioner/Revenue Officer.
2.
The suit in question has been filed for declaration of title and
permanent injunction with the allegations that the plaintiffs are
owner and in possession of the suit house and appurtenant open land
bearing house No.348, situated in Gopalganj Ward. It is alleged that
the plaintiff is residing in the house for last 40-50 years, which is
situated on the land (new) nos. 506/7 and 509/1, old number of
which was 473 area 1.27 acre, which was purchased by husband and
father of plaintiffs 1-2 namely Kanhaiyalal (died in the year 1977)
vide regd. sale deed dtd. 03.04.1933. It is also alleged that the
defendant 1 has executed sale deed of the suit property in favour of
defendant 2 on 05.06.1997 for consideration of Rs.1,60,000/-
without any authority, on that basis the defendants 1-2 want to
dispossess the plaintiffs. Hence, prayed for decreeing the suit.
3.
The defendants 1-2 appeared and filed written statement
denying the plaint allegations. It is also denied that that new
numbers of khasra no. 473 are 506/7 and 509/1 and the suit property
is situated in khasra no. 506/7 and 509/1. It is also contended that
the residential house of the plaintiffs, defendant 1,3,4 and another
son of Kanhaiyalal namely Raghuvar is constructed over khasra
No.473. It is contended that kachcha house constructed over khasra
No.506/7 and 509/1 is different house, which has been purchased by
defendant 2 from defendant 1 vide registered sale deed dtd.
3
05.06.1997, on the basis of which mutation has also been done vide
order dtd. 22.10.1997. It is also contended that the plaintiffs have
no nexus with the land of khasra No.506/7 and 509/1 as well as the
house no. 348 constructed thereon. On inter alia contentions the
suit was prayed to be dismissed.
4.
On the basis of pleadings of the parties learned trial court
framed issues and recorded evidence of the parties and vide
judgment and decree dtd. 29.09.2003 dismissed the suit. Against
which the plaintiffs preferred civil appeal No.7-A/2003 on
02.12.2003, which vide impugned judgment dtd. 21.02.2005 has
been allowed and by setting aside the judgment and decree of trial
Court, matter has been remanded to learned trial court for decision
of the civil suit afresh after getting the suit property demarcated
through Commissioner/Revenue Officer. Against which the
appellants/defendants 1-2 preferred instant misc. appeal.
5.
Learned counsel for the appellants/defendants 1-2 submits that
there is no dispute of title of the lands in question amongst the
parties and the suit property/land of the plaintiffs is different and
the property of the defendants is also different, which is clear from
the pleadings and documentary evidence, as well as from the
admissions made by plaintiffs in their oral testimony, therefore,
there is no necessity for demarcation of the suit property/land and
learned first appellate court has committed illegality in passing
judgment of remand with the direction to decide the suit afresh after
4
getting the suit property demarcated through some Commissioner/
Revenue Officer. He also submits that with a view to ascertain the
factum of possession, commission cannot be issued, which would be
amo
