       Petitioner before me is the plaintiff in O.S.No.259 of 2008 of the court of<\/p>\n
learned Munsiff, Hosdurg. He is the owner in possession of plaint A schedule,<\/p>\n
three cents in extent. On its east is plaint B schedule belonging to respondent<\/p>\n
No.1. In the plaint B schedule there is already a building in existence and as part<\/p>\n
of its development activities respondent No.1 wanted to construct another floor<\/p>\n
over it. Respondent No.1 is said to have obtained approved plan and permit<\/p>\n
from the local authority    and when it started with construction of first floor<\/p>\n
petitioner filed O.S.No.259 of 2008 alleging that construction is in violation of the<\/p>\n
relevant Building Rules. A commission was taken in the trial court who filed an<\/p>\n
interim report. Based on that interim report learned Munsiff allowed I.A.No.2646<\/p>\n
of 2008 and restrained respondent No.1 from making any addition to the existing<\/p>\n
building on the finding that the construction violated Rule 100 (5) of the Kerala<\/p>\n
Municipality Building Rules (for short, “the Rules”). Respondent No.1 took up the<\/p>\n
matter in     C.M.A.No.15 of 2008 before the learned Sub Judge, Hosdurg who<\/p>\n
relying on Ext.P3, approved plan found that prima facie there is no violation of<\/p>\n
Rule 100(5) of the Rules and accordingly, allowing C.M.Appeal set aside order<\/p>\n
of injunction.   Judgment of learned Sub Judge is under challenge in this Writ<\/p>\n
Petition. While admitting Writ Petition this Court directed respondent No.1 to<\/p>\n
maintain status quo until disposal of the Writ Petition. That order remains in<\/p>\n
WP(C) No.30466\/2009<\/p>\n
                                          2<\/span><\/p>\n
force even now. It is contended by learned counsel for petitioner that the<\/p>\n
appellate court has not taken into account Ext.P2, report of the Advocate<\/p>\n
Commissioner which indicated that construction in plaint B schedule abutted its<\/p>\n
western boundary ie. eastern boundary of plaint A schedule and thus there is<\/p>\n
violation of Rule 100(5) of the Rules. Learned counsel for respondent No.1<\/p>\n
contended that there is no violation in that, Ext.P3, approved plan shows that<\/p>\n
there is a minimum distance of 75 cms from the structure already in existence in<\/p>\n
plaint B schedule to the western boundary of plaint B schedule and as such<\/p>\n
learned Sub Judge was correct in holding that there is no violation of Rule 100<\/p>\n
(5) of the Rules.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
        2.     Rule 100(5) of the Rules states that in the case of residential or<\/p>\n
special residential or mercantile\/commercial buildings alteration or addition<\/p>\n
(extension) of floor(s) or conversion of roof shall be permitted only if the existing<\/p>\n
building and the proposed floor(s) have average 60 ms open space from the<\/p>\n
boundaries of all the plots on its sides including rear. Rule 3(d) of the Rules says<\/p>\n
that where addition or extension is made to a building, the rules shall apply to the<\/p>\n
addition or extension only, but for calculation of floor area ratio and coverage<\/p>\n
permissible and for calculation of required off street parking area to be provided,<\/p>\n
the whole building (existing and the proposed) shall be taken into account.        A<\/p>\n
reading of Rules 3(d) and 100(5) of the Rules make it clear that when addition is<\/p>\n
proposed for the existing building such existing building should have a minimum<\/p>\n
space as referred to in Rule 100(5) of the Rules.\n<\/p>\n
WP(C) No.30466\/2009<\/p>\n
                                         3<\/span><\/p>\n
       3.    Then the question is whether the impugned construction violated<\/p>\n
Rule 100(5) of the Rules. While learned counsel for respondent No.1 maintained<\/p>\n
that average space of 60 cms has been left as provided under Rule 100(5) of the<\/p>\n
Rules learned counsel for petitioner asserted and relying on Ext.P2, report<\/p>\n
claimed that the structure already in existence in plaint B schedule is constructed<\/p>\n
abutting the western boundary of plaint B schedule. Learned counsel has invited<\/p>\n
my attention to paragraph No.4 of Ext.P2. In paragraph No.4 it is stated that<\/p>\n
plaint A schedule property is three cents in area with a residential building in it<\/p>\n
and that on its east plaint B schedule with the building is situated. Western wall<\/p>\n
of the building forms part of     eastern physical boundary that separates         A<\/p>\n
schedule property from B schedule building.\n<\/p>\n
       4.    It has to be ascertained whether the structure which is already in<\/p>\n
existence in plaint B schedule is in compliance of Rule 100(5) of the Rules in<\/p>\n
that the said construction is made leaving an average space of 60 cms from the<\/p>\n
boundary of plaint B schedule. If it is found that the average space of 60 cms is<\/p>\n
not left, certainly there is violation of Rule 100(5) of the Rules in which case<\/p>\n
respondent No.1 will not be justified in claiming that it is entitled to proceed with<\/p>\n
the construction. Therefore, it has to be ascertained with the assistance of an<\/p>\n
Advocate Commissioner whether in between the building which is already in<\/p>\n
existence in plaint B schedule and its western boundary average space of 60<\/p>\n
cms is left. Decision on I.A.No.2646 of 2008 will depend upon that finding.<\/p>\n
Going through Ext.P2 I am unable to find whether that average space of 60 cms<\/p>\n
has been left. As such proper course is to direct trial court to get a report from<\/p>\n
WP(C) No.30466\/2009<\/p>\n
                                         4<\/span><\/p>\n
the Advocate Commissioner            if possible by deputing the very same<\/p>\n
commissioner on the question whether existing structure in plaint B schedule is<\/p>\n
constructed after leaving an average space         of 60 cms from the western<\/p>\n
boundary of plaint B schedule.\n<\/p>\n
       5.      In view of above facts, judgment of the appellate court or the order<\/p>\n
of the trial court cannot be sustained.\n<\/p>\n
       Resultantly this Writ Petition is allowed and judgment in C.M.A.No.15 of<\/p>\n
2008 as well as order on I.A.No.2646 of 2008 are set aside and, that application<\/p>\n
is remitted to the trial court for fresh disposal in the light of the observations<\/p>\n
made above and in accordance with the law in force. I direct that interim order<\/p>\n
passed by this Court      on 28.10.2009 will remain in force until I.A.No.2646 of<\/p>\n
2008 is disposed of. Trial court shall expedite disposal of I.A.No.2646 of 2008.<\/p>\n
                                                THOMAS P.JOSEPH,
\n                                                        Judge.\n<\/p>\n
