Petitioner before me is the plaintiff in O.S.No.56 of 2010 and<\/p>\n<p>defendant in O.S.No.1 of 2004 filed by respondent No.1. Respondent No.1 is<\/p>\n<p>the sole defendant in O.S.No.56 of 2010. It is not disputed before me by learned<\/p>\n<p>counsel on both sides that the issue concerns the same property and both<\/p>\n<p>sides have prayed for a declaration of title they claim over the property and<\/p>\n<p>consequential reliefs. Respondents had earlier filed O.S.No.242 of 2003 which<\/p>\n<p>was merely for a decree for prohibitory injunction and the learned counsel<\/p>\n<p>submits that the said suit was dismissed as not pressed with liberty to file a fresh<\/p>\n<p>suit and thereafter respondent No.1 filed O.S.No.1 of 2004 for a declaration of<\/p>\n<p>title and recovery of possession alleging that petitioner trespassed into the<\/p>\n<p>property on 08.11.2003. Petitioner filed O.S.No.56 of 2010 alleging that 10.53<\/p>\n<p>acres in survey No.880\/1\/1 including the suit property (in both the cases)<\/p>\n<p>belonged to the Devaswom where from his father took it on lease and obtained<\/p>\n<p>OP(C) No.332\/2010<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                          2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>purchase certificate. Petitioner&#8217;s predecessor-in-interest expired on 04.04.1999.<\/p>\n<p>Thereon the suit property devolved on him. Thus he traces title. O.S.No.1 of<\/p>\n<p>2004 was tried and disposed of by the learned Munsiff and the suit was decreed<\/p>\n<p>in part on 03.08.2005 which petitioner challenged in A.S.No.109 of 2005. That<\/p>\n<p>appeal was allowed as per judgment and decree dated 22.12.2009 and the case<\/p>\n<p>was remitted to the court of learned Munsiff for fresh disposal after giving<\/p>\n<p>opportunity to both sides to adduce evidence. Thus O.S.No.1 of 2004 came<\/p>\n<p>back to the trial court.  Petitioner therefore prayed for joint trial of O.S.No.1 of<\/p>\n<p>2004 and O.S.No.56 of 2010. Learned Munsiff dismissed the applications for<\/p>\n<p>the reason that major part of evidence in O.S.No.1 of 2004 is recorded and that<\/p>\n<p>it was once disposed of on merit and is a remanded case.<\/p>\n<p>       3.     As I stated, it is not disputed before me that      dispute in both the<\/p>\n<p>suits  concern the     same property and both sides are claiming title and its<\/p>\n<p>declaration. Learned counsel for respondents submit that in the circumstances<\/p>\n<p>the appropriate course is to stay further proceedings in O.S.No.56 of 2010 under<\/p>\n<p>Section 10 of the Code of Civil Procedure (for short, &#8220;the Code&#8221;) and for the said<\/p>\n<p>purpose, petitioner has already filed an application in the trial court. May be, that<\/p>\n<p>also is a course of action which could be adopted.           But since the dispute<\/p>\n<p>concerns    the   same property and both the suits are pending and could be<\/p>\n<p>disposed of jointly there is no reason why one should go for stay of one suit to<\/p>\n<p>revive after disposal of the earlier suit which may take a few years. I also note<\/p>\n<p>OP(C) No.332\/2010<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                           3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>that in O.S.No.1 of 2004, evidence was adduced only on the side of respondent<\/p>\n<p>No.1 and PW1 was examined and Exts.A1 to A5 were marked. In that situation<\/p>\n<p>there is no difficulty in tagging on O.S.No.56 of 2010 with O.S.No.1 of 2004<\/p>\n<p>treating the latter suit   as the main case and permitting parties to adduce<\/p>\n<p>evidence accordingly in that case. A joint trial of the two suits will give learned<\/p>\n<p>Munsiff opportunity to decide the controversy between parties more effectively.<\/p>\n<p>Convenience of court and parties also favours a joint trial. Having regard to these<\/p>\n<p>circumstances, I am inclined to think that learned Munsiff ought to have allowed<\/p>\n<p>joint trial notwithstanding that in O.S.No.1 of 2004 evidence of respondent No.1<\/p>\n<p>has already been recorded and that is a remanded case.<\/p>\n<p>        4.     Learned counsel for respondents submits that O.S.No.1 of 2004 is<\/p>\n<p>listed on 01.12.2010 for trial while O.S.No.56 of 2010 stood posted on<\/p>\n<p>06.11.2010. Learned counsel submits that O.S.No.56 of 2010 may be taken up<\/p>\n<p>on 01.12.2010 along with O.S.No.1 of 2004 for joint trial. Learned counsel for<\/p>\n<p>petitioner has no objection to that course. Having regard to the circumstances, it<\/p>\n<p>is made clear that it will be open to the learned Munsiff to take up O.S.No.56 of<\/p>\n<p>2010 for trial    on 01.12.2010 if it is not otherwise inconvenient to the learned<\/p>\n<p>Munsiff.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>        Resultantly this petition is allowed in the following lines:<\/p>\n<p>OP(C) No.332\/2010<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                          4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>              i.
