             Plaintiff -Harnek Singh had filed a Civil suit No. 417 dated<\/p>\n
17.7.1999 and Paramjit Kaur and Gurpreet Singh-plaintiffs had filed Civil<\/p>\n
Suit No. 295 dated 10.8.1999 for permanent injunction restraining the<\/p>\n
defendants from interfering in their peaceful possession. Civil Judge<\/p>\n
( Junior Division),Kharar vide judgment and decree dated 22.11.2006<\/p>\n
dismissed the suit filed by plaintiff- Harnek Singh and decreed the suit of<\/p>\n
the plaintiffs- Paramjit Kaur and Gurpreet Singh. Aggrieved by the same,<\/p>\n
plaintiff-Harnek Singh      preferred appeals. Additional District Judge,<\/p>\n
Rupnagar vide judgment      and decree dated    22.12.2007, dismissed the<\/p>\n
appeal     filed by Harnek Singh-plaintiff against   Gurpreet Singh    and
\n R.S.A.No. 971 of 2008 (O&M)                                  {2}<\/p>\n
Bhupinder Singh (defendants in C.S.No. RT\/ 417 of 17.7.1999)and allowed<\/p>\n
the appeal filed by Harnek Singh against Paramjit Kaur and Gurpreet<\/p>\n
Singh(Plaintiffs in C.S.No. 295 of 10.8.1999) Hence, the present appeal by<\/p>\n
plaintiffs Gurpreet Singh and Paramjit Kaur.<\/p>\n
            The facts of the case as noticed by the learned Additional<\/p>\n
District Judge, in paras 3 and 4 of its judgment read as under:-<\/p>\n
              ” 3.         The case of the appellant, in brief, is that the<\/p>\n
              appellant purchased 3K-19M from the suit land measuring<\/p>\n
              20K. He was put in exclusive possession of the land near the<\/p>\n
              Phirni of village Gabe Majra. The respondents have got no<\/p>\n
              right to interfere in the said exclusive possession of the<\/p>\n
              appellant.;      Yet, they have threatened to dispossess the<\/p>\n
              appellant illegally and forcibly. Hence, the suit.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
              4.                  The case of the respondents Gurprit Singh<\/p>\n
              and paramjit Kaur on the other hand, in brief, is that they are<\/p>\n
              co-owners to the extent of 4\/5 share, whereas the appellant is<\/p>\n
              the co-owner to the extent of 1\/5th share of the joint holding<\/p>\n
              only.The respondent Gurprit Singh purchased 3\/5 share of<\/p>\n
              the suit land on 5.6.1998 and he came to be in possession of<\/p>\n
              the entire     suit land, as he was cultivating the shares of<\/p>\n
              Paramjit Kaur and          Bhupinder   Singh     who      ultimately<\/p>\n
              sold his 1\/5th      share of the   suit      land to the appellant.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
              The appellant       tried to forcibly occupy a       specific portion<\/p>\n
              of the land adjoining the passage         shown as red in the site<\/p>\n
              plan Ex.D2\/A . Whole of the land was joint and was in<\/p>\n
              joint cultivation     of    the co-owners.      Hence,      the
\n R.S.A.No. 971 of 2008 (O&M)                             {3}<\/p>\n
              co-owners who sold his 1\/5th share to the appellant was not in<\/p>\n
              exclusive possession of any parcel of the joint holding.<\/p>\n
              Hence, he could not have delivered the exclusive possession<\/p>\n
              of any parcel of the joint holding. As the appellant forcibly<\/p>\n
              tried to occupy a specific portion of the joint holding, the<\/p>\n
              matter was taken to the Police. Hence, with the intervention<\/p>\n
              of the respectables and common friends, the parties resolved<\/p>\n
              the matter amicably and executed the settlement Ex. D1\/A on<\/p>\n
              13.6.1999. Accordingly, the portion shown as back in Ex.<\/p>\n
              D2\/A fell to the share of Paramjit Kaur, green portion fell to<\/p>\n
              the share of Gurpreet Singh and blue portion fell to the share<\/p>\n
              of the appellant. The parties occupied the suit land in the<\/p>\n
              above said manner and started cultivating their respective<\/p>\n
              parcels. Gurprit Singh respondent sowed maze and fodder<\/p>\n
              crops in the land in his possession.      In violation of the<\/p>\n
              aforesaid compromise, on 11.12.7.1999, the appellant<\/p>\n
              destroyed the maze crop sown by the respondent Gurprit<\/p>\n
              Singh. Accordingly, FIR No. 100 dated 13.7.1999 was got<\/p>\n
              registered against him under Sections 44, 427 and 506 IPC.<\/p>\n
              The appellant did not desist and he again threatened to<\/p>\n
              interfere in the possession of the respondents in the land<\/p>\n
              above said. He was requested to desist from doing so. But<\/p>\n
              in vain. Hence the suit of the respondents.”<\/p>\n
            On the pleadings of the parties, trial court framed the following<\/p>\n
issues in Civil suit No.417\/17.7.1999<\/p>\n
            “(1)Whether the plaintiff is entitled to the permanent injunction
\n R.S.A.No. 971 of 2008 (O&M)                               {4}<\/p>\n
            as prayed for ? OPP<\/p>\n
            (2)Relief<\/p>\n
            Following issues sere framed by the trial court in Civil Suit No.<\/p>\n
295\/10.8.1999:-\n<\/p>\n
            (1)Whether the plaintiffs entitled to the permanent injunction as<\/p>\n
               prayed for? OPP<\/p>\n
            (2)Whether the suit of the plaintiffs is not maintainable in the<\/p>\n
               present form? OPD<\/p>\n
            (3)Whether the plaintiff has no locus standi to file the present<\/p>\n
               suit? OPD<\/p>\n
            (4)Relief.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
            After hearing learned counsel for the appellant, I am of the<\/p>\n
opinion that the present appeal deserves to be dismissed.<\/p>\n
            Plaintiffs filed a suit for permanent injunction restraining the<\/p>\n
defendants from interfering in their peaceful possession.<\/p>\n
            It has been held by this Court in the case Sant Ram Nagina<\/p>\n
Ram vs. Deva Ram Nagina Ram and others AIR<\/a> 1961 PB 528 as under:-<\/p>\n
            “(1) A co-owner has an interest in the whole property and also<\/p>\n
            in every parcel of it.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
            (2)Possession of joint property by one co-owner, is in the eye<\/p>\n
               of law, possession of all even if all but one are actually out of<\/p>\n
               possession.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
            (3)A mere occupation of a larger portion or even of an entire<\/p>\n
               joint property does not necessarily amount to ouster as the<\/p>\n
               possession of one is deemed to be on behalf of all.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
            (4)The above rule admits of an exception when there is ouster
\n R.S.A.No. 971 of 2008 (O&M)                             {5}<\/p>\n
            of a co-owner by another.        But in order to negative the<\/p>\n
            presumption of joint possession on behalf of all, on the<\/p>\n
            ground of ouster, the possession of a co- owner must not<\/p>\n
            only be exclusive but also hostile to the knowledge of the<\/p>\n
            other as, when a co-owner openly asserts his own title and<\/p>\n
            denies that of the other.\n<\/p>\n
          (5)Passage of time does not extinguish the right of the co-<\/p>\n
            owner who has been out of possession of the joint property<\/p>\n
            except in the event of ouster or abandonment.<\/p>\n
          (6)Every co-owner has a right to use the joint property in a<\/p>\n
            husband like manner not inconsistent with similar rights of<\/p>\n
            other co-owners.\n<\/p>\n
          (7)Where a co-owner is in possession of separate parcels under<\/p>\n
            an arrangement consented to by the other co-owners, it is<\/p>\n
            not open to any one to disturb the arrangement without the<\/p>\n
            consent of others except by filing a suit for partition.<\/p>\n
          (8) The remedy of a co-owner not in possession, or not in<\/p>\n
            possession of a share of the joint property, is by way of a suit<\/p>\n
            for partition or for actual joint possession, but not for<\/p>\n
            ejectment. Same is the case where a co-owner sets up an<\/p>\n
            exclusive title in himself.\n<\/p>\n
          (9) Where a portion of the joint property is by common consent<\/p>\n
            of the co-owners reserved for a particular common purpose,<\/p>\n
            it cannot be diverted to an inconsistent user by a co-owner; if<\/p>\n
            he does so, he is liable to be ejected and the particular parcel<\/p>\n
            will be liable to be restored to its original condition. It is not
\n R.S.A.No. 971 of 2008 (O&M)                                {6}<\/p>\n
               necessary in such a case to show that special damage has<\/p>\n
               been suffered. Case law reviewed.”\n<\/p>\n
                Admittedly, the suit land is jointly owned and possessed by<\/p>\n
the parties as per their share. Learned counsel for the appellants has failed to<\/p>\n
point out from record that the appellants are in exclusive possession of the<\/p>\n
suit property. Reliance has been placed by the learned counsel for the<\/p>\n
appellants on the compromise alleged to have been executed between the<\/p>\n
parties (Es. D1\/A). However, the said compromise is not a memorandum of<\/p>\n
partition and is rather a partition deed. Since the same has not been<\/p>\n
registered, it is inadmissible in evidence. Admittedly, the alleged partition<\/p>\n
between the parties is not reflected in the revenue record.            In these<\/p>\n
circumstances, every co-sharer has a right to enjoy the joint property and is<\/p>\n
presumed to be in possession of every inch of the joint property. Learned<\/p>\n
lower appellate court has, thus, rightly dismissed the suit of the plaintiffs<\/p>\n
for permanent injunction.\n<\/p>\n
               No substantial question of law arises in this appeal.
\nAccordingly, this appeal is dismissed.\n<\/p>\n
                                                    (SABINA)
