This appeal coming on for final hearing, the Court passed
the following:
Appellants have preferred this First Appeal against the
judgment and decree dated 30/07/1987 passed by First Additional
----6----
District Judge, Morena in Civil Suit No.3-A/78 decreeing the suit
filed by the plaintiffs/respondents.
(2)
The admitted facts of the case are as under:-
(i) It is undisputed that one Temple of Kali Mai (deity) is
situated at village Basaiya, District Morena (M.P.).
(ii) It is also admitted that property of temple is vested in
Deity of Kali Mai.
(iii)It is also admitted that earlier the aforesaid temple was
under the control of the then Aukaf Department.
(iv)SLP was preferred against the judgment dated
07/05/1999 passed by learned Single Judge of this
Court, which has been set aside by Hon'ble The Apex
Court and matter has been remanded back to this Court
observing as under:-
“It is common ground that the High Court
while passing impugned judgment and decree
dated 07/05/1999 in First Appeal No.39 of 1987
has not examined the material evidence. This
itself vitiates its order.
Accordingly, we allow these appeals, set
aside the impugned judgment and decree dated
07.05.1999 of the learned Single Judge and
remit the matters back for re-consideration in
----7----
accordance with law. As we have set aside the
order of the learned Single Judge, the order
passed by the Division Bench in Letters Patent
Appeal is rendered non est.”

After death of Ramgovind, plaintiffs No.1, 2, 3, & 4 are the
possession holders of equal share. The aforesaid lands are disputed
lands. Various litigations took place with regard to aforesaid lands
between the parties. It is also pleaded in the plaint averments that
----9----
the plaintiffs are the owners and are in possession of aforesaid
lands. One Kali Mai temple is situated at Village Basaiya which
was under the control of Aukaf Department. A civil suit was filed
for releasing the property from the Aukaf Department, which was
registered as Civil Suit No.1/52. The suit was decreed and it was
directed that the land of the temple be released by the State in
favour of its Pujari. One Special Leave Petition was filed which
was dismissed by the Hon'ble Apex Court. The plaintiffs have
specifically pleaded that the lands do not belong to temple Shri
Kali Mai and they are exclusively owners of same. It was also
pleaded by the plaintiffs that while execution, Nazir wrongly
executed the decree including excessive land and the decree passed
was not in relation to suit land.
