IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH RSA No. 1144 of 2007 (O&M) Date of decision : February 18, 2008 Jaspinder Singh ....Appellant versus Kiran Khullar ....Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Pritam Pal Present : Mr. M.S.Khaira, Senior Advocate with Mr. Abinashi Singh, Advocate for the appellant Pritam Pal,J. (Oral) This regular second appeal by defendant is directed against judgment and decree dated 18.9.2003 passed by the trial court whereby a suit for declaration that plaintiff/respondent is owner in possession of the disputed plot and for permanent injunction restraining the defendant from interfering into the peaceful possession and use of plot in possession of the plaintiff, except in due course of law, was decreed. Thereafter appeal filed by the defendant was also dismissed vide judgment and decree dated 4.12.2006 passed by learned first appellate court. This is how feeling aggrieved, the defendant/appellant has come up in this appeal. The sole point of argument raised on behalf of the appellant is that, in fact, the impugned judgments and decrees passed by the courts below will effect one Manjit Kaur who is not party to the suit and that he RSA No. 1144 of 2007 (O&M) -2- (appellant) has no concern with the suit property. He further submits that in case Manjit Kaur files any case against the appellant, then it would create further complication between the parties. Be that as it may, here in the instant case, there are concurrent findings of the courts below that respondent-plaintiff is admitted to be the owner of the plot by the appellant who is stated to be a property dealer and also related to aforesaid Manjit Kaur. It is well settled that a decree passed against a person who is not a party to it, is not binding upon him or her. In the instant case, learned counsel for the appellant also could not make out any substantial question of law involved herein for consideration by this Court. In these given facts and circumstances, no interference is called for in the impugned judgments and decrees passed by the courts below. Dismissed in limine.
