Case: Kamlabai Vs. Bhikchand Kishanlal and Others

Respondent 1 Balkisan and his stepbrother Hanumandas (who is now represented by respondent 2), were joint owners of a structure admeasuring approximately 48 ft x 27 ft at Dhule, Maharashtra. The appellants husband Mangaldas Chunilal, who was in possession thereof as a tenant, was conducting a flour mill in the said premises. Respondent 1 filed Suit No. 247 of 1965 against Mangaldas asking for possession of the particular portion of the property which had fallen to his share. Radhabai, the stepmother of Hanumandas, also filed a suit for eviction of Mangaldas in respect of the portion which had fall to Hanumandas share. That was Suit No. 234 of 1966. That suit was decreed by the trial court and the decision therein, not having been appealed from, has become final. The trial court had decreed Suit No. 247 of 1965 filed by respondent 1 also. Mangaldas filed an appeal against that decree and he succeeded in the District Court which allowed the appeal and dismissed the suit. Respondent 1, however, filed Special Civil Application No. 2685 of 1967 in the High Court of Bombay which was allowed and respondent 1st suit for eviction was decreed.2. Respondent 1 applied for execution of the decree obtained by him and, in 1971, he succeeded in obtaining possession of the suit premises. It appears that there were certain movable properties in the premises, consisting of parts of the flour mill which the appellants husband was running. A notice was given to the appellant by the execution, court her husband having died in the meanwhile, to remove those moveables, but she did not do so. The moveables were then removed to the court where they were lying from 1971 till 1975. In about 1975, they were sold in an auction to respondent 2 of Rs. 1851.3. The appellant then took proceedings in the Court of the learned Joint Civil Judge, Dhule, against respondent 1, praying that she should be put back in possession of the premises as well as the machinery. That application was taken through all its stages and ultimately, Civil Revision Application No. 521 of 1979 filed by her was dismissed by the High Court. The appellant took similar proceedings against respondent 2 which were then dismissed eventually by the High Court.4. Being aggrieved by the common judgment dated February 29, 1980 delivered by the High Court in the two revision applications, the appellant has filed this appeal by special leave. special leave to appeal was dismiss of against respondent 1 and leave was granted against respondent 2 only. Respondent 2 has not appeared in the present proceedings.
