A positive stand was taken that the Gram Panchayat or<\/p>\n<p>the defendants had no intention to interfer with the possession of the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiff\/respondent.

However, counter claim filed<\/p>\n<p>by the Gram Panchayat was also accepted and the plaintiff\/respondent<\/p>\n<p>was restrained from interfering in possession of Gram Panchayat over<\/p>\n<p>khasra No. 130.\n<\/p>\n<p>          The plaintiff\/respondent challenged the decree of the learned<\/p>\n<p>trial Court passed in favour of the defendant\/appellant primarily on the<\/p>\n<p>plea that Gram Panchayat has failed to prove their ownership over khasra<\/p>\n<p>No. 130 and, therefore, they were not entitled to injunction.<\/p>\n<p>          The learned lower appellate Court accepted the appeal<\/p>\n<p>primarily on the ground that the Gram Panchayat has failed to produce<\/p>\n<p>on record any document to prove its ownership over khasra No. 130.<\/p>\n<p>The learned lower appellate Court further held that mere oral statement<\/p>\n<p>of the defendant witnesses could not be used to hold that the Gram<\/p>\n<p>Panchayat was owner of khasra No. 130 and, thus, reversed the finding<\/p>\n<p>on issue No. 6.\n<\/p>\n<p> R.S.A.

In a suit for injunction, question of title was not<\/p>\n<p>to be determined and in any case the dispute regarding the title of Gram<\/p>\n<p>Panchayat could only be adjudicated under the Punjab Village Common<\/p>\n<p>Lands (Regulation) Act and not in the civil suit. For the purpose of<\/p>\n<p>injunction, the Court was only to see the possession of the parties. Once<\/p>\n<p>the plaintiff\/respondent had not raised any claim over khasra No. 130<\/p>\n<p>and had taken a stand that he had no intention to interfere with the<\/p>\n<p>possession over khasra No. 130, and was only to protect his possession<\/p>\n<p>and ownership over khasra No. 189, the learned trial Court was justified<\/p>\n<p>in accepting the suit as well as counter claim in view of the admission<\/p>\n<p>made by the respective parties.\n<\/p>\n<p>          The judgment and decree passed by the learned lower<\/p>\n<p>appellate Court is, therefore, outcome of mis-reading of the pleadings,<\/p>\n<p>evidence and is also contrary to established law that in a suit for<\/p>\n<p>injunction, question of title was not to be determined.<br \/>\n R.S.A.
