IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 361 of 2010 Date of decision: 15th July, 2010 Gurnek Singh … Petitioner Versus Baljit Singh … Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present: Mr. Sanjay Gupta, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Vikas Bahl, Advocate for the respondent. KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA, J. (ORAL) Defendant to the suit has filed the present revision petition assailing the orders of both the Courts below, whereby the ad-interim injunction was granted in favour of the plaintiff-respondent, thereby restraining the defendant from interfering into the possession of the plaintiff over the suit land. The plaintiff-respondent had taken a plea that he was a co-owner in possession of the suit property and that he had purchased the same from the previous owner vide a registered sale deed dated 11th June, 2004. It was further pleaded that the defendant had got no concern with that property and had no right or title over the same. The defendant took a specific plea that on the land in his possession, he had built his house and was residing there along with his family. He further pleaded that the construction was existing at the spot. He also made an application with a prayer that a Local Commissioner may be appointed to verify this fact, but the same was declined by the trial Court. Civil Revision No.361 of 2010 Both the Courts below have been swayed by the fact that in the jamabandi, the possession over the Khasra No. of the suit land was shown as ‘Khud Kashat’. Both the Courts below have not shown any pains to determine as to whether on the land in dispute, any house exists or not. Therefore, in these circumstances, this Court is of the view that in case the parties are directed to maintain status-quo during the pendency of the suit, it may not complicate further issues. However, in the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case, the trial Court is directed to conclude the trial of the case as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of one year from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. The order of status-quo shall be confined to the construction raised by the petitioner only and regarding rest of the land, ad-interim injunction shall abate. With the observations made above, present revision petition is disposed of. [KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA] JUDGE July 15, 2010 rps 2
