This Regular Second Appeal coming if

UDGMENT
Heard the learned counsel afoaf the._a”ppellant’ the V
respondent.
2. The appellant;-was plai.§iti:ff«.y_in a” suit for
declaratioinwiand:poss:esision~..;:”The iaippiellant had claimed that
the suit property’ property and that the
defendaritpp ought. tobe hestirained from interfering with his
‘possession, The suit was decreed in favour of the appellant
i’nspii–t_e of eo_nteat”hy the respondent herein. The same having
‘V beeniii’cai”ried’ appeal, the lower appellate court has found
iC_’thiati”t-he gxhibit P.l would disclose that the property was
0′ granted in favour of the plaintiff. The plaintiff and the
defendant are brothers and had fired jointly up to the year
1974 and that the Grant Certificate was issued in favour of
the appellant in the year 1983. However, the partition deed
that was set up as per Exhibit 13.2 being an unregi_Sterc.di~.._
document, the lower appellate court held that it ~
admissible in law and there was nca””m-entioitr of
property in the schedule to the partitionzdeed. Si1_hi_1arly,
no.4 also was not mentioned in the«l3″iSchedalei_ and’.=therel’ore,
it could not be acceptedi:_as._ a clieedi,iof.,_p.airtition took
into account all the itenisef. pr,0pert;yv,of’:ithe*i”family. The
lower appell.a.te.coiitrtyhasi’ifo_andtl;at”‘t’he mother of the
plaintiff andiihlsi.i’,_.,si_steiri wpeiretnot parties to the partition deed
and since’ they were to a share, their exclusion
was therefore aglaring circumstance, which did not enable
the ..part,iiesptoi.’1iel_y upon the said partition deed. The lower
i’appe–1taté also held that insofar as Exhibit 13.1
sought. tape produced by the respondent was concerned, it
‘ilwasii”apparently a tampered document and therefore no
_Mr_éliance could he placed on it. In that View of the matter,
the lower appellate court founjghat insofar as possession pf
the suit property is concerned, the plaintiff had clearly
established that he was in continuous possession of the same
and therefore, at best could be entitled to the re1j.efi_i”o_}fi’~..V
perinaneiit injunction, but it could not be said that_.p’iiiere:ipi2vas–i A i-
absolute right and title over the proprxerty’-by the
the right of the fact that the partition aeee coi;id”not
accepted in establishing that therewqas a partitions Between
the plaintiff and the respondent. .iACpo_i’di.ngiy, lower
appellate court has modified }the_ 3’iidg.ir:enti5i,pVarid decree to
restrict the reiief44toion_e oi’«pe=;:nianent ,injiiii’ction till such time
that tliti plaiiitiwff hefldispossesised or the defendant -«~

was ‘concerned apipropriate proceedings, if he was entitled.
this iudgirtent which is sought to be questioned in the
present V V S
A. .3’: ii The appeal has been admitted on the following
iisuhstantial question of law namely, whether the lower
“appellate coiirt was in error in not granting the relief of
5
declaration, having held that the land was granted to the
plaintiff as per Exhibit P. 1.
4. Since the lower appellate court has zregated
partition deed, which was relied upon by the if
the trial court, the only conclusionlawasrzhatu’–the._lpartit,i’op
between the parties was not
jointness of the family being lhowernlipztpriellate
court in having held if granted

there is no infirmity. _,invvthe-_reAaso11jlrig of the lower appellate

the appeal. is of and the parties are left to their
