THIS MFA IS FILED UNDER ORDER 43 RULE 1(r) R/W
SECTION 151 OF CPC, AGAINST THE ORDER DATED 19.10.2022
PASSED ON I.A.NO.1 IN O.S.NO.87/2022 ON THE FILE OF THE
SENIOR CIVIL JUDGE AND JMFC, SIDLAGHATTA, PARTLY
ALLOWING THE I.A.NO.1 FILED UNDER ORDER 39 RULE 1 AND 2
OF CPC AND ALLOWING THE APPLICATION FILED BY THE
DEFENDANT NO.5 UNDER ORDER 39 RULE 4 OF CPC.
THIS MFA COMING ON FOR ADMISSION THIS DAY, THE
COURT DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
This appeal by the plaintiff in O.S. No.87/2022 is directed
against the impugned order dated 19.10.2022 passed by the
Senior Civil Judge and JMFC, Shidlaghatta, whereby, the Trial
Court passed an order of temporary injunction against respondent
Nos.1 to 4/defendant Nos.1 to 4 in respect of all the suit schedule
properties except item Nos.1, 10, 12, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 24 and
- 3 -
vacated the exparte order of temporary injunction in relation to the
said item Nos.1, 10, 12, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 24 by allowing the
application filed by respondent No.5/defendant No.5 under Order
39 Rule 4 of CPC.
The
material
on
record
discloses
that
the
appellant/plaintiff had instituted the aforesaid suit for partition and
separate possession of the alleged share in the suit schedule
properties and for other reliefs.
It is undisputed fact that respondent Nos.1 to 4 are the
siblings of the appellant/plaintiff while respondent No.5 is said to
have purchased item No.19 of the suit schedule property vide
registered Sale Deed dated 08.04.2022, said to have been
executed by respondent No.1/defendant No.1 and his family
members. In the said suit, the appellant/plaintiff filed an
application-I.A.No.1 seeking exparte order of temporary injunction
restraining respondent Nos.1 to 4 from alienating or encumbering
or creating third party rights over the suit schedule properties. In
the first instance, the Trial Court passed an ad-interim exparte
order of temporary injunction in favour of the plaintiff in respect of
the suit schedule properties. Subsequent to respondents entering
- 4 -
appearance, respondent No.5/defendant No.5 filed an application
under Order 39 Rule 4 of CPC seeking vacating of the exparte
order of temporary injunction in respect of item No.19 of the suit
schedule property, which is said to have been purchased by him
vide registered Sale deed dated 08.04.2022 referred to supra.
Both I.A.No.1 and application filed by respondent
No.5/defendant No.5 having been taken up together by the Trial
Court, the Trial Court proceeded to pass the impugned order
granting the order of temporary injunction in relation to all the suit
schedule properties except item Nos.1, 10, 12, 16, 17, 18, 19 and
24, till the disposal of the suit. Aggrieved by the impugned order
passed by the Trial Court not granting the temporary injunction in
respect of the aforesaid items, the appellant is before this Court by
way of present appeal.
In this context, it is relevant to state that insofar as
order of temporary injunction passed in respect of other suit
schedule properties are concerned, the defendants have not
chosen to challenge the impugned order passed by the Trial Court.

A perusal of the material on record including the
impugned orders clearly indicate that there are several contentious
issues urged and disputed/complicated questions of law and fact
that arise for consideration between the parties in relation to all the
suit schedule properties, which would necessarily have to be
decided only after a full-fledged trial. However, it is not in dispute
that respondent No.5/defendant No.5 had purportedly purchased
item No.19 of the suit schedule property on 08.04.2022 i.e., prior to
the suit having been filed on 13.04.2022. Under these
circumstances, I deem it just and appropriate to set-aside the
impugned order passed by the Trial Court and restrain all the
defendants from alienating or encumbering or creating any third
party rights over the suit schedule properties except making an
interim arrangement in relation to item No.19 of the suit schedule
property as claimed by respondent No.5/defendant No.5 by issuing
certain directions in this regard.

In the result, I pass the following:
ORDER
i.
The appeal is partly allowed.

ii.
Impugned order dated 19.10.2022 is hereby
modified.
iii.
Respondents/defendants are directed not to
alienate, encumber or create third party rights over item
Nos.1 to 18 and 20 to 27, till the disposal of the s
