This   is   a   second   appeal   filed   by <\/p>\n<p>     original   defendant   Nos.   2   and   3   being <\/p>\n<p>     aggrieved by the judgment and decree passed by<br \/>\n     the   Additional   District   Judge,   Jalna   in <\/p>\n<p>     Regular Civil Appeal No.191 of 1983 decided on<br \/>\n     6.3.1990, whereby the judgment and decree   of<br \/>\n     the trial court (Civil Judge, Junior Division, <\/p>\n<p>     Bhokardan)   in   Regular   Civil   Suit   No.   16   of <\/p>\n<p>     1977   decided   on   14.9.1983   was   reversed   and<br \/>\n     suit   of   Respondent   No.1-Plaintiff   for<br \/>\n     injunction   was   allowed.     The   trial   court   had <\/p>\n<p>     not  only   dismissed   the   suit,   but   even   in   the<br \/>\n     absence   of   Cross   Objections,     directed   the<br \/>\n     plaintiff   to   handover   possession   of   suit <\/p>\n<p>     property to the Defendants within three months<br \/>\n     from the date of the said judgment.\n<\/p>\n<p>     2.        Briefly stated, the facts giving rise<br \/>\n     to   this   second   appeal   are   that,   Suresh-<br \/>\n     Respondent   No.1   herein   was   the   original<br \/>\n     plaintiff.   He   filed   suit   for   injunction   in <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                         ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 14:46:34 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                  3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>     respect   of   six   acres   portion   of   land   on <\/p>\n<p>     northern side out of survey No.15 which in all<br \/>\n     is  admeasuring 35 acres 6 gunthas situated at <\/p>\n<p>     village Ibrahimpur, Taluka Bhokardan, District<br \/>\n     Jalna.   Plaintiff   had   purchased   the   said<br \/>\n     property   for   Rs.2000\/=   by   a   registered   sale <\/p>\n<p>     deed   dated   8.5.1974   from   respondent   No.2<br \/>\n     (original   defendant   No.1)   who   is   father   of<br \/>\n     appellant No.1 and husband of appellant No.2.\n<\/p>\n<p>     Since the purchase of the land, he has been in <\/p>\n<p>     possession   of   the   said   property.     The<br \/>\n     appellants   and   Respondent   No.   2   were <\/p>\n<p>     disturbing   his   possession   and,   therefore,   he<br \/>\n     filed suit for perpetual injunction.\n<\/p>\n<p>     3.        It   is     necessary   to   consider   the <\/p>\n<p>     written   statement   filed   by   Respondent   No.2<br \/>\n     (original   defendant   No.1)   who   is     father   of <\/p>\n<p>     appellant No.1 and husband of Respondent No.2<br \/>\n     in some detail, as the same throws much light<br \/>\n     on   the   matter.    Respondent   No.   2   Chunilal   in<br \/>\n     paragraph   2   of   his   written   statement   at   Exh.\n<\/p>\n<p>     14,   admitted     that   he   is   husband   of   present<br \/>\n     appellant No. 2 and father of appellant No.1.<br \/>\n     However,   he   denied   that   he   was   Karta   of   the<br \/>\n     family.   He further contended that eastern 15<br \/>\n     acres   land   is   belonging   to   and   is     in<br \/>\n     possession   of   his   family       and   he   himself, <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                         ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 14:46:34 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                   4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>     appellant No. 1 and his other sons were owners <\/p>\n<p>     thereof.     The   property   was   cultivated   by   his<br \/>\n     sons   and   wife.     He   had   not   sold   any   portion <\/p>\n<p>     from   survey   No.15   on   northern   side   to<br \/>\n     Respondent   No.1-plaintiff   and   that   the<br \/>\n     plaintiff was never in possession of the suit <\/p>\n<p>     property.  There is a well, so  also  13 mango<br \/>\n     trees in the northern portion of said 15 acres<br \/>\n     land; the land on that side is fertile and its <\/p>\n<p>     price   is   more   than   Rs.5000   per   acre.\n<\/p>\n<p>     Respondent   No.   2   further   contended   in   the<br \/>\n     written   statement   that   Dr.   Gopikishan,   the <\/p>\n<p>     father   of   the   plaintiff   had   joint   hands   with<br \/>\n     revenue officers and on the basis of false and<br \/>\n     bogus   sale   deed     had   got   false   mutation <\/p>\n<p>     entries made in revenue record  without notice <\/p>\n<p>     to the Defendants.   No amount was received by<br \/>\n     Respondent No. 2 from the plaintiff and he had <\/p>\n<p>     not handed over possession of any land to the<br \/>\n     plaintiff.\n<\/p>\n<p>               In   paragraph   10   of   the   written <\/p>\n<p>     statement,   it   is   further   stated   that   the<br \/>\n     father of Respondent no.1-Plaintiff is running<br \/>\n     illegal   business   in   his   dispensary,   like<br \/>\n     gambling   by   way   of   Matka   and   selling<br \/>\n     psychotropic   drugs.   According   to   Respondent<br \/>\n     No. 2, he used to go to the dispensary of the <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                          ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 14:46:34 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                   5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>     Plaintiff&#8217;s   father   and   there   he   was   addicted <\/p>\n<p>     to gambling.   For 8 to 10 years prior to his<br \/>\n     written   statement   dated   4.7.1977,   he   was   not <\/p>\n<p>     looking   after   management   of   his   family   nor<br \/>\n     doing any work and everything was being looked<br \/>\n     after   by   his   wife-appellant   No.2.   He   had   not <\/p>\n<p>     sold   any   land.    Marriage   of  his  daughter   was<br \/>\n     performed   one   year   prior   to     said   written<br \/>\n     statement which is filed in July 1977.\n<\/p>\n<p>     4.<\/p>\n<p>                 Appellants   herein-original   defendant<br \/>\n     Nos.2   and   3   filed   their   written   statement   at <\/p>\n<p>     Exhibit 15 and made out  a case that Defendant<br \/>\n     No.1   (Respondent   No.2   herein)   was   not   the<br \/>\n     Karta   of   the   family;   that   he   was   addicted   to <\/p>\n<p>     various   vices;   the   land   is   in   possession   of <\/p>\n<p>     the   appellants;   Respondent   No.2   had   no   right<br \/>\n     to   sell   the   property   and   there   was   no   legal <\/p>\n<p>     necessity to sell the property. Defendant Nos.<br \/>\n     2 and 3 also stated about illegal business run<br \/>\n     by the father of Respondent No.1-Plaintiff and<br \/>\n     ultimately   prayed   for   dismissal   of   suit   with <\/p>\n<p>     compensatory costs.\n<\/p>\n<p>     5.        There was absolutely  no prayer by way<br \/>\n     of   counterclaim   either   by   appellants   or<br \/>\n     Respondent   No.2   in   their   respective   written<br \/>\n     statements   and   in   spite   of   that,   the   trial <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                          ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 14:46:34 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                   6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>     court misled itself into framing issues as to <\/p>\n<p>     whether   Respondent   No.   2   was   Karta   of   the<br \/>\n     family;   whether   he   sold   the   property   to <\/p>\n<p>     Respondent   No.1-Plaintiff   for   benefit   of   the<br \/>\n     estate.  The learned trial Court answered that<br \/>\n     Respondent   No.   2   was   Karta   of   the   family   but <\/p>\n<p>     held   that   he   had     not   sold   the   property   as<br \/>\n     Karta and the sale was not for benefit of the<br \/>\n     estate.     There   is   no   issue   framed   regarding <\/p>\n<p>     legal necessity. But, said issue was discussed <\/p>\n<p>     at length. In fact, the issues framed were not<br \/>\n     necessary for decision   of suit for perpetual <\/p>\n<p>     injunction   in   absence   of   any     counter-claim.<br \/>\n     Only   questions   those   should   have   been<br \/>\n     considered   were   whether   the   plaintiff   was   in <\/p>\n<p>     the     settled   possession   of   the   suit   property <\/p>\n<p>     and   whether   there   was   obstruction   to   his<br \/>\n     possession   by   Respondent   No.2   and   appellants-\n<\/p>\n<p>     original   defendants.     Though   the   trial   court<br \/>\n     answered that the plaintiff was in possession<br \/>\n     of   the   property   as   owner,   it   ultimately<br \/>\n     directed   the   plaintiff   to   handover   possession <\/p>\n<p>     of   the   suit   property   to   defendants   within<br \/>\n     three months from the date of the order.\n<\/p>\n<p>     6.        This   Second   appeal   is   admitted   on<br \/>\n     18.1.1991   on   ground   Nos.   3,   8   and   9   of   the<br \/>\n     appeal memo which are as follows;\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                          ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 14:46:34 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                           7<\/span><\/p>\n<p>           &#8220;3. The learned Judge has wrongly <\/p>\n<p>      held   that   the   suit   is   not   based   on<br \/>\n      title.     Whereas   the   Plaintiff   has<br \/>\n      stated that he is claiming the relief <\/p>\n<p>      of   perpetual   injunction   on   the   basis<br \/>\n      of his title derived by him.   As per<br \/>\n      law,   unless   the   Plaintiff   proves   his <\/p>\n<p>      title   and   right   to   possess,   the <\/p>\n<p>      Plaintiff   cannot   succeed   in   getting<br \/>\n      injunction.\n<\/p>\n<p>           8.   Admittedly,   it   is   a   joint<br \/>\n      family property and ancestral property <\/p>\n<p>      of   the   Defendant   No.   1   and   Defendant <\/p>\n<p>      Nos. 2 and 3 and there are other minor<br \/>\n      co-parceners,   who   are   jointly   in <\/p>\n<p>      possession   of   the   property.   In   such<br \/>\n      circumstance, the suit simplicitor for<br \/>\n      injunction   is  not  maintainable,  since<br \/>\n      the property is a undivided   property <\/p>\n<p>      and   a   co-parcener   can   not   be   clamped<br \/>\n      with injunction.\n<\/p>\n<p>           9.   The           learned             Additional<br \/>\n      District Judge has failed to see that<br \/>\n      the view of our High Court is that a <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                  ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 14:46:34 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                  8<\/span><\/p>\n<p>               purchaser   of   a   share   of   joint   Hindu <\/p>\n<p>               family   must   bring   a   suit   for   general<br \/>\n               partition   and   carve   out   his   share, <\/p>\n<p>               assuming that the Defendant No. 1 sold<br \/>\n               some portion, and the simplicitor suit<br \/>\n               of injunction is not maintainable ?&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>     7.        In   this   case,   respondent   No.1-<br \/>\n     plaintiff   has   come   out   with   a   case   that <\/p>\n<p>     particular   6 acres portion of   land has been <\/p>\n<p>     in   his   possession.     According   to   him,   on<br \/>\n     earlier day of sale deed, they had gone to the <\/p>\n<p>     land,   the   portion     to   be   sold   was   demarcated<br \/>\n     and   handed   over   to   him   by   respondent   No.2.<br \/>\n     So,   suit   for   injunction   is   in   respect   of <\/p>\n<p>     specific   portion   of   land.   So,   this   is   not   a <\/p>\n<p>     case where undivided share\/portion of land is<br \/>\n     sold   by   a   coparcener   of   Hindu   family   to   a <\/p>\n<p>     stranger.In that light,we have to answer later<br \/>\n     two points raised at the time of admission.\n<\/p>\n<p>     8.

The sale <\/p>\n<p>     by a Karta of the family would be at the most<br \/>\n     voidable.     In   any   case,  Respondent   No.   2   was<br \/>\n     entitled   to   sell   his   undivided   share   in   the <\/p>\n<p>     ancestral   property.     In   a   suit   for   perpetual<br \/>\n     injunction, we are concerned with whether the<br \/>\n     plaintiff   was   in   settled   possession   of   the <\/p>\n<p>     property   in   question   as   on   the   date   of   the <\/p>\n<p>     suit   and   whether   there   was   threat   to   his<br \/>\n     possession at the hands of the defendants.\n<\/p>\n<p>     11.   Learned counsel for the appellant relied<br \/>\n     upon   paragraph   No.   26   of   the   case   of  <a href=\"\/doc\/1272244\/\">Hardeo <\/p>\n<p>     Rai vs. Sakuntala Devi<\/a> (2008)7 SCC 46.  In the <\/p>\n<p>     said   case,     sale   of   undivided   share   of   co-<br \/>\n     parcener     in   joint   family   property   and   right <\/p>\n<p>     of   purchaser   were   considered   and   it   is   laid<br \/>\n     down   that   the   coparcenery   interest   can   be<br \/>\n     transferred   subject   to   condition   that   the<br \/>\n     purchaser   without   the     consent   of   other <\/p>\n<p>     coparceners   cannot   get   possession   of   what   he<br \/>\n     has  purchased.    In   the   present   matter,   it   is<br \/>\n     the case of Respondent No.1-Plaintiff that he<br \/>\n     was actually put in possession of six acres of<br \/>\n     land   purchased   by   him.     There   is   a   positive<br \/>\n     evidence   led       to   that     effect     and     the <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                        ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 14:46:34 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                  12<\/span><\/p>\n<p>     first appellate court has considered the said <\/p>\n<p>     evidence   and   held   that   the   the   plaintiff<br \/>\n     proved his exclusive possession over the suit <\/p>\n<p>     property.     So   the   case   of   Hardeo   Rai  (supra)<br \/>\n     is not applicable to the facts of the present<br \/>\n     case.\n<\/p>\n<p>     12.       Here, I may rely on the case of  Rame <\/p>\n<p>     Gowda v. M. Vardappa Naidu 2004 AIR SCW 4205.<br \/>\n     It is held therein that where the plaintiff is <\/p>\n<p>     in   settled   possession   of   the   property,   he   is<br \/>\n     entitled   to   protect   his   possession,   even <\/p>\n<p>     though   he   failed   to   prove   his   ownership   or<br \/>\n     title.     Even   a   true   owner   cannot   dispossess<br \/>\n     such   trespasser   except   otherwise   than   in   due <\/p>\n<p>     course   of   law   and   grant   of   injunction   was <\/p>\n<p>     proper.  What is &#8220;settled possession&#8221;  is also<br \/>\n     discussed.  I may refer to observations of the <\/p>\n<p>     Hon&#8217;ble   Apex   Court   in   paragraph   8   of   the<br \/>\n     judgment which read as follows:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>                         &#8220;8. It   is  thus   clear   that  so <\/p>\n<p>               far as the Indian law is concerned the<br \/>\n               person   in   peaceful   possession   is<br \/>\n               entitled to retain his possession and<br \/>\n               in order to protect such possession he<br \/>\n               may even use reasonable force to keep<br \/>\n               out a  trespasser.

If   the<br \/>\n               trespasser is in settled possession of<br \/>\n               the property belonging to the rightful <\/p>\n<p>               owner,   the   rightful   owner   shall   have<br \/>\n               to   take   recourse   to   law;   he   cannot<br \/>\n               take   the   law   in   his   own   hands   and <\/p>\n<p>               evict the trespasser or interfere with <\/p>\n<p>               his possession.   The law will come to<br \/>\n               the   aid   of   a   person   in   peaceful   and <\/p>\n<p>               settled  possession  by  injuncting   even<br \/>\n               a   rightful   owner   from   using   force   or<br \/>\n               taking law in his own hands, and also <\/p>\n<p>               by   restoring   him   in   possession   even <\/p>\n<p>               from   the   rightful   owner   (of   course<br \/>\n               subject to the law of limitation), if <\/p>\n<p>               the latter has dispossessed the prior<br \/>\n               possessor by use of force.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>     13.

It   is   ancestral <\/p>\n<p>     property   of   Respondent   No.2.   Respondent   No.2<br \/>\n     was Karta of the joint family.   One day prior<br \/>\n     to execution of the sale deed, Respondent No.2 <\/p>\n<p>     took   consideration   amount   and   handed   over<br \/>\n     possession   to   him.     He   paid   Rs.2,000\/=   to<br \/>\n     Respondent   No.   2   at   his   house   and   possession <\/p>\n<p>     was     delivered   to   him   in   presence   of   his <\/p>\n<p>     father     and   witnesses   Vithal   and   Subhash.<br \/>\n     After   the   sale   deed,   he   continued   to   be   in <\/p>\n<p>     possession   of   the   property,   mutation   entry<br \/>\n     produced   at   Exhibit   96   was   sanctioned   in   his<br \/>\n     name.

He stated that on<br \/>\n     earlier   day,   there   was   agreement   of   sale   at <\/p>\n<p>     the   house   of   Respondent   No.1-plaintiff.     At <\/p>\n<p>     that time, Rs.2,000\/= were paid to Respondent<br \/>\n     No.2 by Respondent No.1.

In   the   cross<br \/>\n     examination,   he   stated   that   he   was   knowing<br \/>\n     father   of   Respondent   No.1   and   he   had   no <\/p>\n<p>     concerned   with   Dr.   Gopikishan-the   father   of<br \/>\n     the   plaintiff.
