The defendant is<\/p>\n<p>    a member          of said housing society. He has constructed<\/p>\n<p>    three rooms house and residing along with his family<\/p>\n<p>    there.       It    was     contended         in   the    plaint         that       the<\/p>\n<p>    defendant         unnecessary       retained        possession          over       the<\/p>\n<p>    suit premises. The plaintiff further contended that,<\/p>\n<p>    suit premises are required for residence and business<\/p>\n<p>    and for further construction of entire area of T.P.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_7\">    No. 133. They have prepared a map and sanctioned it by<\/p>\n<p>    Municipal         Council,     Amalner.       According        to     plaintiff,<\/p>\n<p>    they    have       constructed      area      which      was     possessed          by<\/p>\n<p>    them.    The remaining proposed construction area is in<\/p>\n<p>    possession         of    the    defendant,         where       they      want       to<\/p>\n<p>    construct         kitchen,       latrine          etc.     But        could        not<\/p>\n<p>    construct it. Since the plaintiffs required the suit<\/p>\n<p>    premises for residence they issued notice dated 15th<\/p>\n<p>    June,    1994        for       termination         of     tenancy          to      the<\/p>\n<p>    defendant.          Since       defendant         failed         to       handover<\/p>\n<p>    possession, the plaintiffs filed Suit bearing Regular<\/p>\n<p>    Civil Suit No. 159 of 1994.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_4\">                                                        ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 16:29:42 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_5\">                                            5<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"p_8\">    4.            The defendant resisted the claim by filing<\/p>\n<p>    written statement (Exh. 14). The plaintiffs bonafide<\/p>\n<p>    requirement      of     suit    premises          was     disputed          by     the<\/p>\n<p>    defendants.      It     was      also        stated       in        the    written<\/p>\n<p>    statement     that     the     suit    is     bad    for       non-joinder          of<\/p>\n<p>    necessary\/certain parties. It was also stated in the<\/p>\n<p>    written statement, that plaintiffs did file Regular<\/p>\n<p>    Civil Suit No. 104 of 1974 against the father of the<\/p>\n<p>    defendant      and   igsaid      suit        came       to        be   dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_9\">    Therefore, principle of res-judicata squarely applies<\/p>\n<p>    to the case, and therefore, Regular Civil Suit No. 159<\/p>\n<p>    of   1994   being     barred     by     principle            of    res-judicata,<\/p>\n<p>    should not be heard at all by the Trial Court. The<\/p>\n<p>    written statement also includes other contentions of<\/p>\n<p>    the defendant.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_10\">    5.              The     Trial        Court       after       closing       of      the<\/p>\n<p>    evidence      adduced    by     the     parties,         written          notes     of<\/p>\n<p>    arguments     (at     Exh.     256    and    Exh.       258)       respectively,<\/p>\n<p>    framed necessary issues for determination. The Trial<\/p>\n<p>    Court   has    framed     as    many        as    seven       issues       for     its<\/p>\n<p>    determination and consideration. So far personal and<\/p>\n<p>    bonafide requirement of the plaintiff is concerned,<\/p>\n<p>    the issue No. 2 was framed by the Trial Court and said<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_6\">                                                        ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 16:29:42 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_7\">                                        6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>    issue has been answered in negative. The issue No. 4<\/p>\n<p>    i.e.    &#8220;Whether     defendant     prove    that       suit       of     the<\/p>\n<p>    plaintiff is false?&#8221;        is answered in the negative. The<\/p>\n<p>    another issue i.e. Issue No. 5-A &#8221; whether suit is<\/p>\n<p>    barred by principle of res-judicata?&#8221; the said issue<\/p>\n<p>    is also answered in negative. However, the Trial Court<\/p>\n<p>    held against the plaintiffs on the point of bonafide<\/p>\n<p>    requirement     of   the   suit    premises,    and     further         held<\/p>\n<p>    that the plaintiff is not entitled for possession.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_11\">                 It appears that the Original plaintiff has<\/p>\n<p>    filed application for amendment of the plaint. By way<\/p>\n<p>    of   said    amendment,    the    plaintiffs    pleaded        that       the<\/p>\n<p>    defendant has built and acquired suitable residential<\/p>\n<p>    house   in      Gurukul    Co-operative     Housing         Society        at<\/p>\n<p>    Amalner, and the defendant is residing therein with<\/p>\n<p>    his family members.         It appears that by way of said<\/p>\n<p>    amendment the ground was taken in the plaint, that<\/p>\n<p>    defendant possessed his own house, he is residing in<\/p>\n<p>    the said house and on that ground, the Court can pass<\/p>\n<p>    the necessary decree in respect of suit premises.                         The<\/p>\n<p>    original defendants filed reply to the amended plaint.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_12\">    It further appears that at the time of final hearing<\/p>\n<p>    of the suit, the Trial Court, was aware about the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_8\">                                               ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 16:29:42 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_9\">                                     7<\/span><\/p>\n<p>    amendment    brought   by     the   plaintiff.         However,          it<\/p>\n<p>    appears that, no separate issue was framed in respect<\/p>\n<p>    of plaintiff&#8217;s assertion that the original defendant<\/p>\n<p>    has constructed and acquired his own house in                   Gurukul<\/p>\n<p>    Co-operative   Housing   Society    at   Amalner,         and      he    is<\/p>\n<p>    residing there with his family members.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_13\">    6.           The Trial Court, dismisseded the suit with<\/p>\n<p>    costs, and decree was drawn accordingly.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_14\">    7.          Though the Trial Court, dismissed the suit,<\/p>\n<p>    the issue No. 4 i.e. &#8221; whether defendant prove that<\/p>\n<p>    the suit of the plaintiff is false? and issue No. 5(A)<\/p>\n<p>    Whether suit is barred by principle of res-judicata?&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_15\">    have been answered in the negative. Being aggrieved by<\/p>\n<p>    the findings of the Trial Court on issues No. 4 &amp; 5(A)<\/p>\n<p>    in Regular Civil Suit No. 154 of 1994, the original<\/p>\n<p>    defendant    i.e.   Narayan    Jairam    Marathe        filed       Civil<\/p>\n<p>    Appeal No. 14\/2004 before the Adhoc District Judge-1,<\/p>\n<p>    Amalner, Dist. Jalgaon. The original plaintiff i.e.<\/p>\n<p>    Rajaram Keshav Dhobi also filed Civil Appeal No. 15 of<\/p>\n<p>    2004, challenging the judgment and decree in Regular<\/p>\n<p>    Civil Suit No. 159 of 1994.         The specific contention<\/p>\n<p>    was raised in the said appeal that the issue regarding<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_10\">                                             ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 16:29:42 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_11\">                                          8<\/span><\/p>\n<p>    assertion    of     the   plaintiff       that     the     defendant           has<\/p>\n<p>    constructed and acquired his own house in Gurukul Co-\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_16\">    operative      Housing      Society      at    Amalner,          and     he     is<\/p>\n<p>    residing with his other family members has not been<\/p>\n<p>    framed by the Trial Court.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_17\">    8.             It   appears     that      Adhoc     District           Judge-1,<\/p>\n<p>    Amalner, passed order below (Exh. 1) in Civil Appeal<\/p>\n<p>    NO. 15 of 2004, thereby framed the issue i.e. &#8220;Whether<\/p>\n<p>    plaintiffs        prove      that        defendant         has         acquired<\/p>\n<p>    residential house in Gurukul Kripa Cooperative Housing<\/p>\n<p>    Society   at      Amalner    and    thus       built\/acquired            vacant<\/p>\n<p>    possession of a suitable residence?.

The said premise is insufficient for<\/p>\n<p>    all the members who were and are residing in the suit<\/p>\n<p>    premises as a tenant. Further, the Son of Narayan by<\/p>\n<p>    name Prakash is residing separately in the premise in<\/p>\n<p>    Gurukul Housing Cooperative Society, at Amalner. Thus,<\/p>\n<p>    premises at Gurukul Co-operative Housing Society is<\/p>\n<p>    not available to the defendant for his residence.

On his death his heir i.e. Narayan as<\/p>\n<p>    well as Anil both have inherited the tenancy rights of<\/p>\n<p>    Jairam. Therefore, Anil was also a necessary party to<\/p>\n<p>    the    suit   for      eviction,    when    he    was      earlier          and<\/p>\n<p>    presently residing in the suit premises.

The     Court    has       also       recorded        the     finding<\/p>\n<p>    that the Studio business has not been running in suit<\/p>\n<p>    premises, and both the sons of Plaintiff Nos. 1 &amp; 2<\/p>\n<p>    are shifted at Pune. The Court has also referred to<\/p>\n<p>    the    cross-examination            of    the     plaintiff          in    which       he<\/p>\n<p>    admits that one room out of constructed rooms was let<\/p>\n<p>    out    to   the      others     by       them.     The        Court,       has      also<\/p>\n<p>    recorded in para No. 22 that 2\/3rd portion which is in<\/p>\n<p>    possession of the plaintiff is containing four rooms<\/p>\n<p>    at suit premises as well as another property No. 81\/2<\/p>\n<p>    available       to     them     nearby          the     side       of      the      suit<\/p>\n<p>    premises.

The plaintiff aggrieved by the findings of<\/p>\n<p>    the Trial Court, preferred appeal. In appeal also in<\/p>\n<p>    para    No.    61   the     Appellate    Court     held        that       the<\/p>\n<p>    plaintiff has failed to prove that the suit premises<\/p>\n<p>    are required for reasonable and bonafide requirement<\/p>\n<p>    by the plaintiff for their occupation. In substance<\/p>\n<p>    the Appellate Court, has confirmed the findings of the<\/p>\n<p>    Trial Court, on the point of bonafide requirement of<\/p>\n<p>    the    suit   premises.     Therefore,    there      are     concurrent<\/p>\n<p>    findings of facts recorded by the Courts below, that<\/p>\n<p>    the land-lord\/plaintiff failed to prove that the suit<\/p>\n<p>    premises are reasonably and bonafide requirement of<\/p>\n<p>    the    plaintiff    for   their   occupation.       Both      the     Court<\/p>\n<p>    have taken into consideration the adjoining property<\/p>\n<p>    of the plaintiff, and also the house owned by his son<\/p>\n<p>    at Pune. The Court, has also recorded the finding that<\/p>\n<p>    the 2\/3rd portion contains four rooms. Therefore, there<\/p>\n<p>    are concurrent findings of facts in consonance with<\/p>\n<p>    the evidence        brought on record by the parties. I do<\/p>\n<p>    not find, that the concurrent findings recorded by the<\/p>\n<p>    Courts below are perverse.

According          to     the      revision<\/p>\n<p>    applicant,      the     original      plaintiff           did    file      Regular<\/p>\n<p>    Civil    Suit    No.     104\/1974      on   the       ground       of     bonafide<\/p>\n<p>    requirement, and since the said suit was dismissed,<\/p>\n<p>    the Regular Civil Suit No. 159\/2004 being barred by<\/p>\n<p>    the principle of res-judicata was not maintainable. In<\/p>\n<p>    this respect, both the courts, have held against the<\/p>\n<p>    Revision applicant \/ Ori. defendant. The Trial Court,<\/p>\n<p>    has frame specific issue on this aspect i.e. issue No.<\/p>\n<p>    5(A)    &#8220;Whether       suit    is    barred      by    principle          of     res-\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_32\">    judicata?       same    is    answered      in      the     negative.

Therefore,            there       is     no<\/p>\n<p>    substance, in the contention of the Counsel appearing<\/p>\n<p>    for the revision applicant \/ Ori. Defendant, that the<\/p>\n<p>    Appellate     Court,       was     not       justified            in      referring<\/p>\n<p>    additional issue to the Trial Court, for giving the<\/p>\n<p>    findings     and    for    recording         additional            evidence,          if<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_36\">                                                          ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 16:29:42 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_37\">                                       21<\/span><\/p>\n<p>    felt necessary. It is true, that after the additional<\/p>\n<p>    issue was answered by the Trial Court, the Original<\/p>\n<p>    defendants filed cross-objections before the Appellate<\/p>\n<p>    Court, however, said cross-objections are negatived by<\/p>\n<p>    the lower Appellate Court.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_42\">    20.

The main ground, on which the Appellate Court<\/p>\n<p>    set aside the decree passed by the Trial Court, is<\/p>\n<p>    that   the    defendant    is     built\/acquired          house       having<\/p>\n<p>    necessary     facilities    and    same    is     suitable         for      the<\/p>\n<p>    residence, and further defendant has failed to produce<\/p>\n<p>    positive      evidence     to   show      that      the       house         has<\/p>\n<p>    built\/acquired       by   him     is   not      suitable          for       his<\/p>\n<p>    residence.

The       Appellate<\/p>\n<p>    Court    reproduced         part       of    the    cross-examination                in<\/p>\n<p>    vernacular language in the said para. On reading the<\/p>\n<p>    portion     of       the     cross-examination                  available            in<\/p>\n<p>    vernacular        language        in    para        No.     46,      it     clearly<\/p>\n<p>    emerges, that the defendant has admitted that he is<\/p>\n<p>    member     of      Gurukul         Sahakari          Grahanirman            Housing<\/p>\n<p>    Society, Amalner. This society has allotted                                 plot to<\/p>\n<p>    its members. The size of the plot is 3000 Sq. ft. It<\/p>\n<p>    further appears, that the defendant has voluntarily<\/p>\n<p>    made a statement, in the cross-examination that out of<\/p>\n<p>    3000 Sq.ft., each member has been allotted 1500 Sq.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_63\">    ft.   land.

In the said<\/p>\n<p>    ration card the name of Gurukul Housing Society have<\/p>\n<p>    also     mentioned.     Therefore,      in    para       No.      47,       the<\/p>\n<p>    Appellate Court, recorded the finding that defendant<\/p>\n<p>    is the member of Gurukul Co-operative Housing Society,<\/p>\n<p>    Amalner,     a   plot     allotted      to   the      defendant,            the<\/p>\n<p>    defendant has constructed              on the said plot and the<\/p>\n<p>    defendant is residing in the said house along with his<\/p>\n<p>    wife and children.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_65\">    28.
