JMFC AT ANEKAL
Present: Sri. [Link], [Link]., LL.B.,
Senior Civil Judge, Anekal
O.S. No.302/2008
Dated this the 12th day of Feb, 2016
Plaintiff/s : Smt. Ratnamma and others
V/s
Defendant/s : Shri. Muniraju and others
ORDERS ON I.A No.10
The applicants/plaintiffs filed present application U/o.39 Rule 1
& 2 of CPC., for seeking temporary injunction restraining the
defendants No.8 to 17 from alienating the suit property during the
pendency of this suit, for costs and other relief.
2. In support of the application, the applicant/plaintiff No.1 has
sworn an affidavit wherein she states that she filed the suit for
seeking the relief of declaration of his ownership and permanent
injunction in respect of suit property. During the pendency of this suit,
the defendants No.3 to 7 have alienated the suit properties in favour
of defendants No.8 to 17. Now, the defendants No.8 to 17 have been
2 O.S. No.302/2008
impleaded. They have also been trying to alienate the suit property
only with an intention to cause loss to the applicant/plaintiff. If the
defendants No.8 to 17 have alienated the suit property, multiplicity of
proceedings will be arises. The applicants/plaintiffs have made out
prima-facie case and balance of convenience is lies in her favour.
If the application is not allowed, hardship and inconvenience will be
caused to her. On the other hand, no loss or injury to the other side if
the application is allowed. Hence, applicants/plaintiffs prays for
allowing the present application.
3. The defendant No.10 has filed objection to the present
application, wherein he contended that the plaintiffs and their family
members are no way concerned to the suit property. They filed the
present suit on the basis of the imaginary grounds. Since beginning,
the plaintiff and his family members are not in possession of any
portion of the suit property, the suit property originally belongs to
Madduramma who died on 10.04.1994. Thereafter, his brothers and
wife of brothers i.e., defendants No.1 & 2 have succeeded the suit
property. Because the said Madduramma died issue less.
Therefore, the application filed by the plaintiffs is not maintainable in
the eye of law. The defendants No.1 & 2 being the owners of the suit
3 O.S. No.302/2008
properties, they have alienated the same in favour of defendants
No.3 to 6 to meet out their family and legal necessity through the sale
deed dated 27.10.1988. Thereafter, the defendants No.3 to 6 being
the owners of the suit properties, they have alienated the same in
favour of defendant No.7 through the sale deed dated 25.01.2006.
Thereafter, the suit properties and other surrounding properties have
been acquired by BDA. Thereafter, Bangalore Development
Authorities formed residential layout and distributed the sites to
different persons. Therefore, the suit properties are not available as
agricultural lands. Already site purchasers have constructed the
building and started to live along with their family members. The BDA
formed the residential layout in the suit properties and other housing
properties bearing Sy. No.8/1, 8/2, 8/3, 8/4, 9/1, 9/2, 9/3, 9/4, 10/1,
10/2P, 147 totally measuring 11 acres 8 guntas. These facts are well
known to the plaintiffs. The present application filed only with an
intention to harass the defendants. Hence, defendant No.10 prays
for reject the present application.

REASONS
8. Points No.1 to 3:- For the sake of convenience and to
avoid the repetition of facts, I would like to discuss these points
together. Further, these points are inter-linked with each other. As
stated above, the applicants/plaintiffs have filed this suit for seeking
the relief of declaration of their ownership and permanent injunction in
5 O.S. No.302/2008
respect of suit properties. Now, the present application filed for
seeking the relief of temporary injunction restraining the defendants
No.8 to 17 from alienating the suit properties. The applicant/plaintiff
No.1 contended that she is the absolute owner and in possession of
the suit property. The defendants being the strangers to the suit
properties, they have alienated the same in favour of 3rd parties. She
further contended that during the pendency of this suit, defendants
No.1 to 7 alienated the suit properties in favour of defendants No.8
to 15. Now, they are also trying to alienate the suit properties only
with an intention to cause loss to the applicant/plaintiff.
9. On the other hand, the opponent/defendants contended that
the plaintiffs and their family members are no way concerned to the
suit properties. They are not aware about the alienation to the
original owner by name Madduramma. Now, the present applicant is
filed only with an intention to prolong the matter.
10. It is important to note that admittedly, the suit properties
are purchased by one Madduramma through the sale deed dated
29.05.1978. Thereafter, the said Madduramma died issue less.
Admittedly, Madduramma died on 10.04.1984. The applicants/
6 O.S. No.302/2008
plaintiffs are claiming the ownership and possession of the suit
properties on the basis of the succession as a wife of step son.
Admittedly, Madduramma died issue less on 10.04.1989. As per the
contention of the defendants, Madduramma purchased the suit
properties out of her own income and died issue less. Thereafter, the
defendants became the absolute owners of the suit properties and
entered their names to the revenue records. Thereafter, the
defendants No.1 & 2 being the owners of the suit properties, they
have alienated the same in favour of defendants No.3 to 6 through
the sale deed dated 27.10.1988. Thereafter, the defendants No.3
to 6 have alienated the suit property in favour of defendant No.7
through the sale deed dated 25.01.2006. Thereafter, the defendant
No.7 alienated the suit properties in favour of defendants No.8 to 17
through the sale deed dated 25.01.2006. This suit is for the year
2008. Accordingly, all the transaction in respect of the suit properties
from the year 1984 to 2007 were took place prior to filing of this suit.
11. It is important to note that the applicant/plaintiff No.1
contended that during the pendency of this suit, the defendants have
alienated the suit properties. On perusal of the records, it is clear that
all the transaction in respect of suit properties from the year 1984 to
7 O.S. No.302/2008
2007 have taken place prior to filing of this suit. As per the contention
of the defendants No.8 to 17, the suit properties and other
surrounding properties measuring 11 acres 8 guntas has been
completed and formed the layout by Bangalore Development
Authority. Thereafter, Bangalore Development Authority have
distributed the sites to the needed persons. Now, the suit purchasers
have constructed the houses and residing along with their family
members. It is important to note that as per the contention of the
defendants, the suit properties already lost its nature. Now, the
residential building were constructed in the suit properties. But, the
plaintiffs are claiming the suit properties as agricultural lands that
itself goes to show that the applicant/plaintiff has not made out prima-
facie case and she has not approached the court with clean hands.
On perusal of the records produced by the defendants, it is clear that
Madduramma purchased the suit properties on 10.04.1984.
Thereafter, she died issue less. Subsequently, his brothers entered
their names to the revenue records. Thereafter, they have alienated
the suit properties in favour of defendants No3 to 6 through the sale
deed dated 27.10.1988 and defendants No.3 to 6 have entered their
names to the revenue records of the suit properties. Thereafter, the
8 O.S. No.302/2008
defendants No.3 to 6 have alienated the suit properties in favour of
defendant No.7 through the sale deed dated 25.11.2006 and entered
their names to the revenue records. Thereafter, they have converted
the suit property for residential layout. But, till today, the plaintiff has
not challenged the entries in the name of defendants. Now, the
plaintiffs are claiming injunction by suppressing the real facts. These
facts clearly go to show that the plaintiffs have not approached the
court with clean hands. Further, on perusal of the records produced
by both the parties, it is clear that since beginning, the plaintiffs and
their family members are not in possession of the suit properties.
The case of the plaintiffs is fit for go on trial. The case of the plaintiffs
is to be considered after recording evidence on both sides. When the
plaintiffs are not in possession of the suit properties, they have not
entitled for any relief of injunction.
12. It is important to note that on perusal of the documents
produced by the defendants, the suit properties and other
surrounding properties measuring 11 acres 8 guntas has been
converted and formed the residential layout. Thereafter, Bangalore
Development Authority have sold the suit properties in favour of
different persons. Therefore, the applicants/plaintiffs have not made
9 O.S. No.302/2008
out any prima-facie. Further, there is no balance of convenience in
favour of applicants/plaintiffs. Because the defendants have invested
huge amount for development of the suit property and they have
distributed sites to the intending purchasers and other surrounding
properties measuring 11 acres 8 guntas. Under such circumstances,
balance of convenience is lies in favour of opponents/defendants.
Therefore, the applicants/plaintiffs have not made out any prima-facie
case for grant of temporary injunction. Accordingly, Points No.1 to 3
are answered in the Negative.
13. Point No.4: - In view of the above discussions and
conclusion to Points No.1 to 3, this court proceeds to pass the
following;
ORDERS
I.A No.10 U/o.39 Rule 1 & 2 of CPC., filed by
the applicants/plaintiffs is rejected.
No orders as to cost.
