The said suit was filed<\/p>\n<p>for a perpetual prohibitory injunction restraining the first defendant<\/p>\n<p>from making a construction in his property without maintaining the<\/p>\n<p>side yard of 75 cms. from the southern boundary of his plot and in<\/p>\n<p>any way violating the Kerala Municipality Building Rules and restraining<\/p>\n<p>the 2nd defendant        Puthuppally Grama Panchayath from granting<\/p>\n<p>permit to the first defendant for      constructing a building in the first<\/p>\n<p>defendant&#8217;s property in violation of the Kerala Municipalities Building<\/p>\n<p>Rules (hereafter &#8220;the Building Rules&#8221; for short) and for a mandatory<\/p>\n<p>injunction directing the defendants to remove the obstruction caused<\/p>\n<p>in the plaint schedule item No. II described as a drain and to realise<\/p>\n<p>the cost       from the defendants.            Along with the suit, the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner\/plaintiff filed an application for temporary injunction as I.A.<\/p>\n<p>No. 416 of 2008. The prayer in that petition was for a temporary<\/p>\n<p>prohibitory injunction restraining the first defendant from making<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">W.P.(C) No. 28535 of 2008          -:2:-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>further construction in violation of the Building Rules and the 2nd<\/p>\n<p>defendant from issuing permit to the first defendant for effecting the<\/p>\n<p>construction against the Building Rules.\n<\/p>\n<p>       2.    It is admitted that the 2nd prayer in the suit as well as<\/p>\n<p>application for temporary injunction has become infructous     because<\/p>\n<p>the permit has already been issued by the Grama Panchayath for<\/p>\n<p>effecting the construction in the property of the first defendant. The<\/p>\n<p>trial court, after hearing both sides granted the temporary prohibitory<\/p>\n<p>injunction as prayed for on 22-3-2008. Aggrieved by the said final<\/p>\n<p>order passed by the trial court, the first defendant filed an appeal<\/p>\n<p>before the District Court Kottayam as C.M.A. 20 of 2008. Pending the<\/p>\n<p>said appeal he sought a stay of the impugned order passed by the trial<\/p>\n<p>court. As per Ext.P4 order dated 11-4-2008, the lower appellate court<\/p>\n<p>granted a stay as prayed for after hearing both sides. The said order<\/p>\n<p>was challenged by the plaintiff by filing W.P.(C) 13422 of 2008 before<\/p>\n<p>this Court.      As per Ext.P5 judgment dated 23-5-2008 this Court<\/p>\n<p>directed the lower appellate   court to    dispose of the C.M. Appeal<\/p>\n<p>itself untrammeled by the observations in the order           of stay.<\/p>\n<p>Thereafter, the lower appellate court passed Ext.P6 judgment allowing<\/p>\n<p>appeal and dismissing the application for temporary prohibitory<\/p>\n<p>injunction. Hence, this Writ Petition.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">W.P.(C) No. 28535 of 2008          -:3:-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      3.     The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner made the<\/p>\n<p>following submissions before me:\n<\/p>\n<p>      As per the Building Rules the set off which should have been<\/p>\n<p>left by the first defendant towards the southern side was 75 cms. But<\/p>\n<p>Exts. C1 report and C2 plan show that actually he has left a set off<\/p>\n<p>of 43 cms only.      The trial court had found that the distance   rule<\/p>\n<p>regarding the side yard has been violated since the first defendant has<\/p>\n<p>not left 75 cms. from the drainage running       east-west in between<\/p>\n<p>along the southern boundary of the first defendant&#8217;s property and the<\/p>\n<p>northern boundary of the plaintiff&#8217;s property. The trial court had also<\/p>\n<p>found prima facie that the drain         does not belong to the first<\/p>\n<p>defendant. In fact, the 2nd defendant Grama Panchayath has claimed<\/p>\n<p>that the drain belongs to the Grama Panchayath. The lower appellate<\/p>\n<p>court    has held that the drain does not belong         to the Grama<\/p>\n<p>Panchayath and is running through the property of the first defendant<\/p>\n<p>and therefore if so the sideyard has a total length of 86 cms. which<\/p>\n<p>is far    in excess of the      statutory minimum of 75 cms. Such a<\/p>\n<p>finding should not have been recorded at the interlocutory stage and<\/p>\n<p>the lower appellate court should not have interfered with the order of<\/p>\n<p>prohibitory injunction passed by the lower appellate court.<\/p>\n<p>      4.     I am afraid that I cannot agree with the above<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">W.P.(C) No. 28535 of 2008             -:4:-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>submissions. The findings recorded by the lower appellate court are<\/p>\n<p>only tentative finding only for the disposal of the interlocutory<\/p>\n<p>application. Prima facie, the lower appellate court has observed that<\/p>\n<p>going by the provisions of the Kerala Panchayath Raj Act the drain<\/p>\n<p>does not appear to have        vested in the Grama Panchayath. If so, the<\/p>\n<p>property of the first defendant extends up to the southern wall of the<\/p>\n<p>drain and in that case the southern side yard have a width of 86 cms.<\/p>\n<p>It is only if the drain is lying outside the property of the first defendant<\/p>\n<p>that the width of the side yard will come to 43 cms. It is also<\/p>\n<p>pertinent to note that the very same drain which has a width of 43<\/p>\n<p>cms. becomes reduced to 14 cms. from a point situated further to<\/p>\n<p>the east of the offending construction and there is also a shop room<\/p>\n<p>belonging to the first defendant abutting the said narrow drain having<\/p>\n<p>a width of 14 cms. This also has been taken note of by the lower<\/p>\n<p>appellate court. It is pertinent to note that in the building permit<\/p>\n<p>which has been issued to the first defendant by the 2nd defendant<\/p>\n<p>Grama Panchayath the only two conditions are that a tank necessary<\/p>\n<p>for collection of rain water should be installed and the construction<\/p>\n<p>shall not cause any obstruction to the water flowing along the drain<\/p>\n<p>which passes through the property of the first defendant. Even the<\/p>\n<p>grama panchayath had treated the drain as one passing through the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">W.P.(C) No. 28535 of 2008          -:5:-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>property of the first defendant.    It was taking note of these aspects<\/p>\n<p>that the lower appellate court       vacated the prohibitory injunction<\/p>\n<p>granted by the trial court.      I do not find any good ground for<\/p>\n<p>interfering with the said order sitting in the rarefied jurisdiction of<\/p>\n<p>this Court under Art. 227 of the Constitution of India. It goes without<\/p>\n<p>saying that the observations and findings of the lower appellate court<\/p>\n<p>are only tentative and the suit will have to be disposed of on the basis<\/p>\n<p>of the legal and factual aspects coming up for consideration.<\/p>\n<p>      This Petition is accordingly dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<p>      Dated this the 26th day of September 2008.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                V.
