directing the defendants No.1 to 4 to receive the mortgage

3. While seeking the said relief in the plaint, the
respondents have made an averments that the husband of first
plaintiff and father of second plaintiff by name Nanjappa was
the absolute owner of the suit schedule property and he was in
possession and enjoyment of the suit schedule property and
that on 22.9.1969, the husband of first plaintiff and father of
second plaintiff by name Nanjappa and the husband of
defendant No.5 and father of defendants No.6 and 7 by name
Ashwathaiah have mortgaged the suit schedule property in
favour of mother of the defendants No.1 to 4 by name
Smt.Narasamma W/o late M.Nanjappa of Obalapura Village for
Rs.1,000/-. It is further submitted that, the said mortgage
deed is usufractury mortgage and possession of the suit
schedule property was delivered to the said Smt.Narasamma,
who was none other than the mother of defendants No.1 to 4.
At present defendants No.5 to 7 are not available to join as
plaintiffs, they are also necessary parties, hence they are made
as defendants No.5 to 7.
4. The respondents/plaintiffs also contended in the suit
that defendants No.1 to 4 being the mortgagee in possession of
- 5 -
the suit schedule property, postponing to receive the mortgage
amount and to redeem the mortgage in favour of the plaintiffs
on one or the other pretext and the plaintiffs are always ready
and willing to pay the mortgage amount of Rs.1,000/-. It is also
contended in the plaint that defendants No.1 to 4 illegally got
obtained the revenue records of the suit schedule property on
the basis of the registered mortgage deed and the special land
acquisition officer-2, (BMICP), Bangalore Rural District had
acquired the suit schedule survey number property for KIDB
purpose and now they learnt that they are making hasty
arrangements to create some documents in respect of the suit
schedule property and thereby defendants No.1 to 4 are trying
to draw the compensation amount from the KIDB.
5. It is also contended in paragraph No.5 that they have
no right to alter or change the revenue documents of the suit
schedule property except redeeming the registered mortgage
deed dated 22.9.1969 and sought for the relief.
6. Defendants No.1 to 4 appeared and filed an application
under Order VII Rule 11(a) and (d) r/w Section 151 of CPC
- 6 -
praying the Court to reject the plaint as there is no cause of
action and same is barred by law. In support of the application,
an affidavit is sworn to by defendant No.2 that suit for
mortgage deed dated 22.9.1969 for redemption itself is not
maintainable and property has already been acquired by
defendant No.8 and the suit schedule property has already
vested with the State Government free from all encumbrances,
hence the suit for redemption of mortgage and restoration of
possession is not maintainable. It is also contended that the
Civil Court will not get jurisdiction to try any suit in respect of
the land acquired by Government and the very suit is also in
respect of the acquired land and for restoration of possession
which cannot be granted by the Civil Court and the relief
sought in the plaint cannot be granted. The plaintiffs have not
disclosed the true facts that, the survey number 75 is a Inam
land attached to Sri.Venkataramana Swamy Temple situa
