      Plaintiffs in O.S.No.566 of 1997 on the file of the Munsiff<\/p>\n
Court, Attingal, are the appellants. The suit was originally filed<\/p>\n
for   perpetual    injunction   restraining    the defendants   from<\/p>\n
demolishing     the old boundaries of plaint schedule properties,<\/p>\n
trespassing over the same, creating any new pathway over plaint<\/p>\n
schedule property or committing any waste in the property. The<\/p>\n
trial court decreed the suit, plaintiffs’ title and possession of the<\/p>\n
plaint schedule property was declared and a permanent<\/p>\n
prohibitory injunction was passed whereby the defendants are<\/p>\n
restrained from trespassing into the plaint schedule property or<\/p>\n
commit any waste or doing any act which may cause obstruction<\/p>\n
to the plaintiffs’ peaceful possession and enjoyment of the<\/p>\n
property.     In the appeal preferred by the defendants, by<\/p>\n
judgment dated 31.7.2008, the lower appellate court allowed the<\/p>\n
appeal, remanded the matter, directing the trial court to dispose<\/p>\n
of the suit afresh untrammelled by the observations made by the<\/p>\n
appellate court judgment.        Being aggrieved by the order of<\/p>\n
F.A.O.No.228 Of 2008<\/p>\n
                                    ::2::\n<\/p>\n
remand the plaintiffs have preferred the appeal.           Parties are<\/p>\n
hereinafter referred to as the plaintiffs and defendants as arrayed<\/p>\n
in the suit.\n<\/p>\n
      2.    The dispute is in respect of 9 cents of land lying on the<\/p>\n
southern side of the plaint schedule property having an extent of<\/p>\n
1 acre 39 cents. Both the plaintiffs and defendants are claiming<\/p>\n
title and possession over the disputed portion of land.            The<\/p>\n
plaintiffs and defendants are close relatives. The mother of first<\/p>\n
plaintiff and the first defendant namely, Bhargavi Amma had 2<\/p>\n
acres and 8= cents in survey No.2516\/A               in Melthonnakkal<\/p>\n
Vilage. As per partition deed No.4535\/1952, out of 2 acres and<\/p>\n
8= cents mentioned above, 1 acre 37 cents on the east and 2<\/p>\n
cents on the southern side of remaining 71= cents was allotted<\/p>\n
to the first plaintiff and mother jointly as A schedule in the deed,<\/p>\n
marked as Ext.A1 in the case, and the remaining 69= cents was<\/p>\n
allotted to the first plaintiff’s brother Gopala Pillai. At the time of<\/p>\n
execution of Ext.A1 partition deed the first plaintiff was a minor<\/p>\n
having 7 years old. Subsequently, their mother executed Ext.B2<\/p>\n
sale deed No.2227\/1953 in favour of the first defendant<\/p>\n
Madhavan Pillai, in respect of 7 cents on the southern side of 1<\/p>\n
F.A.O.No.228 Of 2008<\/p>\n
                                  ::3::\n<\/p>\n
acre 37 cents and 2 cents on the southern side of 71= cents.<\/p>\n
Thus, the first defendant obtained 9 cents as per Ext.B2 sale<\/p>\n
deed. In the year 1974, the mother executed Ext.B1 settlement<\/p>\n
deed conveying her one half right in 1 acre 30 cents in favour of<\/p>\n
the first plaintiff. Thus, the first plaintiff became absolute owner<\/p>\n
of 1 acre 30 cents. The extent covered by the said settlement<\/p>\n
deed is the area excluding the 9 cents sold in favour of the first<\/p>\n
defendant.     In the year 1997, the first defendant sold the<\/p>\n
disputed 9 cents to his daughter, the second defendant as per<\/p>\n
Ext.B7 sale deed.        The second defendant claim title and<\/p>\n
possession over the disputed 9 cents. The trial court, after a<\/p>\n
detailed consideration of the materials produced before the court,<\/p>\n
held that under Ext.B1, the property conveyed to the first plaintiff<\/p>\n
is 1 acre 30 cents excluding the 9 cents on the southern side<\/p>\n
which was covered as per Ext.B2 sale deed.            It was further<\/p>\n
observed that, it is clear from Ext.B2 sale deed that the first<\/p>\n
plaintiff had got information about Ext.B2 sale deed in the year<\/p>\n
1974 and the first plaintiff had not chosen to challenge Ext.B2 till<\/p>\n
now. The trial court also observed that the first plaintiff as PW1<\/p>\n
admitted that he attained majority in he year 1964, that he was<\/p>\n
F.A.O.No.228 Of 2008<\/p>\n
                                ::4::\n<\/p>\n
a major at the time of execution of Ext.B1 settlement deed and<\/p>\n
that if he had no knowledge about Ext.B2 sale deed he could<\/p>\n
have filed a suit for a declaration in respect of Ext.B2 sale deed<\/p>\n
and further held that the facts and circumstances of the case<\/p>\n
clearly shows that the first plaintiff has knowledge about Ext.B2<\/p>\n
sale deed from 1974 onwards. The trial court also examined the<\/p>\n
question as to who is in possession of the disputed 9 cents. The<\/p>\n
trial court held that the defendants has not obtained possession<\/p>\n
of 9 cents as per Ext.B2 sale deed and the same was in<\/p>\n
possession of the plaintiff from 1953 onwards and further held<\/p>\n
that the title obtained by the first defendant as per Ext.B2 sale<\/p>\n
deed has been lost by the continuous and uninterrupted<\/p>\n
possession of the plaintiffs adverse to the defendants and that<\/p>\n
the plaintiffs have perfected their title over the property by<\/p>\n
adverse possession and limitation. The trial court on the basis of<\/p>\n
the said findings decreed the suit declaring the plaintiffs’ title and<\/p>\n
possession over the plaint schedule property and also issued<\/p>\n
permanent prohibitory injunction.\n<\/p>\n
      3.     In the appeal preferred by the defendants the lower<\/p>\n
appellate court re-appreciated the evidence.            During the<\/p>\n
F.A.O.No.228 Of 2008<\/p>\n
                               ::5::\n<\/p>\n
pendency of the appeal the appellants produced mortgage deed<\/p>\n
No.2057 dated 10.10.1973 and “purathezhuthu” executed by the<\/p>\n
first defendant in favour of one Sarasamma. The said document<\/p>\n
was produced along with I.A.No.874 of 2008 requesting the<\/p>\n
appellate court to receive in evidence the mortgage deed in<\/p>\n
exercise of the power under Order XLI Rule 27 of the Code of<\/p>\n
Civil Procedure. From the additional documents produced before<\/p>\n
the appellate court, it can be seen that in the year 1973, the<\/p>\n
disputed 9 cents was mortgaged by the first defendant to one<\/p>\n
Sarasamma which has been redeemed in the year 1983 by<\/p>\n
executing a “purathezhuthu”.      Appellants contended that the<\/p>\n
additional documents will have an important bearing on the<\/p>\n
merits of the case and therefore prayed to accept the additional<\/p>\n
documents in evidence. The respondents\/plaintiffs vehemently<\/p>\n
opposed the admission of the additional documents. A detailed<\/p>\n
objection has also been filed. According to the learned Judge the<\/p>\n
additional documents are vital documents as far as the case is<\/p>\n
concerned, being a mortgage deed in respect of the disputed 9<\/p>\n
cents executed in the year 1973. The appellate court also found<\/p>\n
that the “purathezhuthu” which was also produced along with the<\/p>\n
F.A.O.No.228 Of 2008<\/p>\n
                                ::6::\n<\/p>\n
mortgage deed would go to show that the mortgage was<\/p>\n
redeemed after ten years, in the year 1983. In this context, the<\/p>\n
lower appellate court took the view that a remand is necessary<\/p>\n
for affording an opportunity to the parties to establish whether<\/p>\n
there is transfer of possession of the property based on the<\/p>\n
mortgage deed and that there are sufficient grounds to allow<\/p>\n
I.A.No.874 of 2008 and held that a remand is inevitable.<\/p>\n
      4.   The lower appellate court also observed that the<\/p>\n
records would show that on 19.6.2001 the lower court raised six<\/p>\n
issues whereas the judgment reveals that those were not the<\/p>\n
issues considered by the lower court.        The appellate court<\/p>\n
observed that the issue as to the adverse possession and<\/p>\n
limitation   has   not been    specifically framed.      In   such<\/p>\n
circumstances also, the court also held that issues are not<\/p>\n
properly framed and not considered.\n<\/p>\n
      5.   Learned counsel appearing for the plaintiffs submitted<\/p>\n
that framing of additional issues does not arise since the issue to<\/p>\n
be decided is as to whether the plaintiffs have got title and<\/p>\n
possession over the plaint schedule property. The trial court can<\/p>\n
consider the question of framing additional issues only after<\/p>\n
F.A.O.No.228 Of 2008<\/p>\n
                                 ::7::\n<\/p>\n
hearing both sides and after considering the objections raised by<\/p>\n
the plaintiffs.  I do not find any reason to interfere with the<\/p>\n
conclusions and observations entered by the lower appellate<\/p>\n
court. The appellate court directed the trial court to dispose of<\/p>\n
the matter afresh as expeditiously as possible, untrammelled by<\/p>\n
any of the observations made by the appellate judgment. In the<\/p>\n
interest of justice, this Court is of the view that the case can be<\/p>\n
decided afresh within a time frame fixed by this Court. The trial<\/p>\n
court shall dispose of the suit within a period of six months from<\/p>\n
the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.        The date of<\/p>\n
appearance of the parties is fixed as 22.6.2010. The records of<\/p>\n
the case shall be transmitted immediately to the trial court,<\/p>\n
forthwith.\n<\/p>\n
      In the result, the appeal fails and accordingly, dismissed.<\/p>\n
There will be no order as to costs.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
                                              HARUN-UL-RASHID,
\n                                                      Judge.\n<\/p>\n
