Native Tree Developers Pvt Ltd v. Md. Salim Khan and 6 Ors

JUDGMENT AND ORDER

(CAV) Heard Mr. R.L. Yadav, learned counsel representing the petitioner as well as Mr. R.K. Bhuyan, learned counsel representing the respondents.

¶2This is an application under Article 227 of the Constitution of India challenging the order dated 27.03.2023 passed by the learned Civil Judge No.2, Kamrup(M) in Misc. (J) Case No.115/2022 arising out of Title Suit No.353/2020.

¶3The factual matrix giving rise to this petition lies within a very short campus. The respondent Md. Salim Khan and Md. Jahanuddin Ahmed purchased two plots of land attached to each other. Jahanuddin Ahmed handed over his portion of the land to the petitioner company for construction of a building. Salim Khan alleges that while the petitioner company was building a structure on the land of Jahanuddin Ahmed, encroached upon his land and started construction work of the building on his land.

¶4Salim Khan filed the suit for declaration of his right, title and interest as well as for recovery of possession. Salim Khan also prayed for an injunction and the trial court allowed the prayer for injunction. On a prayer of Salim Khan, the trial court directed police to implement the injunction order.

¶5The petitioner company filed the present revision petition against the said order of the trial court on the ground that it is not undertaking any construction work on the land of Salim Khan. The petitioner apprehends that police would stop construction of the building which is being Page No.# 5/6 undertaken on the land of the other person.

¶6I have given my anxious considerations on the submissions made by the learned counsels of both sides.

¶7The main grounds on which the High Court interferes under Article 227 of the Constitution of India are-------

¶1When the inferior Courts act arbitrarily

¶2When the inferior Courts act in excess of the Jurisdiction vested in them.

¶3When the inferior Courts fail to exercise jurisdiction vested in them.

¶8It is pertinent to note that the High Court does not interfere for correcting mere error of facts or, with a finding of the subordinate court which is within the jurisdiction of such court. However, if, such finding is perverse in such a sense that no prudent person having the knowledge of law could have arrived at such finding, or the finding is not based on any material evidence or, such finding results in manifest injustice or if there is a misdirection in law then the High Court can interfere under Article 227 of the Constitution of India.

¶9Reverting to the case in hand, the trial court has granted the prayer of injunction. The present petitioner never moved the trial court for cancellation or modification of the order of injunction. When the trial court directed police to implement the order of injunction, then only the petitioner has come to this Court for restraining police interference. Page No.# 6/6

¶10I am of the considered opinion that the petitioner has failed to satisfy this Court for exercising the power under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. There is no error in the impugned order for exercising the power of the High Court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. Therefore, the present petition is found to be devoid of merit and stands dismissed accordingly.
