Out        of  the two<\/p>\n<p>defendants who were the respondents before the<\/p>\n<p>first appellate court, the first respondent<\/p>\n<p>died and her L.Rs are impleaded as additional<\/p>\n<p>respondents 3 to 5.

S. A. No.328 of 2008           -3-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      The prayer is to have recovery of the said<\/p>\n<p>      three cents and to have fixation of boundary<\/p>\n<p>      and for a mandatory injunction to remove the<\/p>\n<p>      compound wall constructed by the defendants.<\/p>\n<p>              3. Defendants 1 and 2 filed a joint<\/p>\n<p>      written          statement  resisting   the    suit.<\/p>\n<p>      According         to  them,   there  was   permanent<\/p>\n<p>      boundary         on   the  southern  side   of   the<\/p>\n<p>      defendants&#8217; property ever since the partition<\/p>\n<p>      of 1118 M.E and there is barbed wire fencing<\/p>\n<p>      and       the    trees were  also  standing in   the<\/p>\n<p>      boundary         separating  the  property  of  the<\/p>\n<p>      plaintiff and the defendants. The allegation<\/p>\n<p>      that there is deficit in extent by three cents<\/p>\n<p>      is false and is made with ulterior motive of<\/p>\n<p>      grabbing the property of the defendants. Item<\/p>\n<p>      No.4 property is not property belonging to the<\/p>\n<p>      plaintiff,         but  is  property  in   exclusive<\/p>\n<p>      possession of the defendants. There is well<\/p>\n<p>      defined boundary and there is no necessity for<\/p>\n<p>      the fixation of the boundary. If at all any<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">R. S. A. No.328 of 2008          -4-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      portion of the property is found to be in<\/p>\n<p>      possession of the defendants, the plaintiff<\/p>\n<p>      has lost title thereto for adverse possession<\/p>\n<p>      for more than 30 years and therefore, the<\/p>\n<p>      plaintiff is not entitled to the relief sought<\/p>\n<p>      for. The defendants prayed for a dismissal of<\/p>\n<p>      the suit with their cost.\n<\/p>\n<p>              4. On the above pleadings, the trial<\/p>\n<p>      court raised necessary issues for trial and<\/p>\n<p>      considering the case in the light of the above<\/p>\n<p>      pleadings and the evidence adduced at trial<\/p>\n<p>      which consisted of oral evidence of PWs.1 and<\/p>\n<p>      3 and DWs.1 and 2 and documentary evidence<\/p>\n<p>      Exts.A1 to A3, B1 and C1 to C3 dismissed the<\/p>\n<p>      suit. The aggrieved plaintiff filed A.S.46\/03<\/p>\n<p>      before the first appellate court and the first<\/p>\n<p>      appellate          court  dismissed   the   appeal<\/p>\n<p>      concurring with the findings of the trial<\/p>\n<p>      court. Hence, this R.S.A by the plaintiff.<\/p>\n<p>              5. It is contended before me by the<\/p>\n<p>      learned          counsel for  the  appellant that<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">R. S. A. No.328 of 2008        -5-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      actually three cents has been encroached upon<\/p>\n<p>      by the defendants and they have reduced it to<\/p>\n<p>      their possession; that the Surveyor has found<\/p>\n<p>      excess land in possession of the defendants<\/p>\n<p>      taking in &#8220;Kuthakappattam&#8221; property as well;<\/p>\n<p>      that possession of &#8220;Kuthakappattam&#8221; property<\/p>\n<p>      along with the property of the defendants has<\/p>\n<p>      not been pleaded in the written statement and<\/p>\n<p>      no       document   also was produced  by  the<\/p>\n<p>      defendants to establish that they have got<\/p>\n<p>      &#8220;Kuthakappattam&#8221; right over the property shown<\/p>\n<p>      by the Surveyor in the plan; that the total<\/p>\n<p>      extent of item No.1 property was found by the<\/p>\n<p>      Commissioner as 93 cents and 225 square links<\/p>\n<p>      whereas as per Ext.A1 the extent was 96 cents<\/p>\n<p>      and there was deficit to the extent of two and<\/p>\n<p>      odd cents and that therefore, if at all there<\/p>\n<p>      is such a deficit that deficit has to be<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">      proportionately      made in item Nos.2 and  3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      properties.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">R. S. A. No.328 of 2008            -6-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>              6.      It  is   worthy  to  note  that  the<\/p>\n<p>      plaintiff has no case that the defendants did<\/p>\n<p>      trespass upon any portion of their property on<\/p>\n<p>      any particular day and constructed a compound<\/p>\n<p>      wall unauthorisedly reducing about three cents<\/p>\n<p>      of property to their possession. The commissioner<\/p>\n<p>      has reported that the boundary wall that has<\/p>\n<p>      been constructed was along the boundary that<\/p>\n<p>      existed          originally.  In  Ext.C2   Commission<\/p>\n<p>      Report,          the Commissioner  has  reported the<\/p>\n<p>      existence of remnants of old &#8220;kayyala&#8221; also<\/p>\n<p>      along the said line. The shortage found on the<\/p>\n<p>      measurement of the property of the plaintiff<\/p>\n<p>      is only 800 square links and not three cents<\/p>\n<p>      as pleaded in the plaint. It is an admitted<\/p>\n<p>      case that certain portions of the plaintiff&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>      property was taken for widening the road. If<\/p>\n<p>      any portion of the property was taken for<\/p>\n<p>      widening the road certainly there will be<\/p>\n<p>      reduction in extent in the balance property<\/p>\n<p>      that         remains   in   the  possession  of   the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">R. S. A. No.328 of 2008          -7-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      plaintiff. For the mere reason that there is<\/p>\n<p>      reduction in extent in the property of the<\/p>\n<p>      plaintiff it cannot be concluded that the<\/p>\n<p>      defendants have trespassed upon any portion of<\/p>\n<p>      the property belonging to the plaintiff. The<\/p>\n<p>      court below has observed that the Commissioner<\/p>\n<p>      and Surveyor has reported that the boundary<\/p>\n<p>      separating the plaintiff and the defendants<\/p>\n<p>      was       along    the G.F  line and  the  present<\/p>\n<p>      compound         wall which is  sought to  be  got<\/p>\n<p>      demolished and removed is also exactly through<\/p>\n<p>      the G.F line. Consequently, therefore, the<\/p>\n<p>      plaintiff cannot seek to have a mandatory<\/p>\n<p>      injunction to remove the said compound wall<\/p>\n<p>      which is constructed along the boundary line<\/p>\n<p>      that was already in existence. There is no<\/p>\n<p>      prayer          also in  the  plaint  seeking  for<\/p>\n<p>      declaration that the plaintiff is having title<\/p>\n<p>      to any portion of the property now found in<\/p>\n<p>      possession of the defendants and therefore,<\/p>\n<p>      the question of declaration of title to any<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">R. S. A. No.328 of 2008             -8-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      portion of the property not in the possession<\/p>\n<p>      of the plaintiff also does not arise. It<\/p>\n<p>      appears that the attempt of the plaintiff is<\/p>\n<p>      to      grab      certain  portions  of   the  property<\/p>\n<p>      beyond          their  boundary   line   by   advancing<\/p>\n<p>      contentions that there is deficit in extent in<\/p>\n<p>      their         property  and  that  is   by   reason  of<\/p>\n<p>      putting          up of   boundary  by  the   defendants<\/p>\n<p>      though the boundary was being put up along the<\/p>\n<p>      line         in    which  already   there   existed   a<\/p>\n<p>      boundary. The case of the plaintiff did not<\/p>\n<p>      find favour in the circumstances with both the<\/p>\n<p>      courts below and there is no merit in this<\/p>\n<p>      R.S.A and no substantial question of law also<\/p>\n<p>      arises for consideration by this Court in this<\/p>\n<p>      R.S.A as is attempted to be made out.<\/p>\n<p>              7. In the result, refusing admission, I<\/p>\n<p>      dismiss this R.S.A in limine.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                            K.P.BALACHANDRAN,<br \/>\n                                                        JUDGE<br \/>\n      kns\/-<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Karunakaran Nair vs Kalyani Amma (Died) &amp; Ors on 17 June, 2008 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM RSA.No. 328 of 2008() 1.
