Kalaiselvi, v. Petchiammal (Died) Seeni (Died) Periyakaruppan (Died) 1.Bhahaathal

JUDGMENT Since the appellant has filed a suit only for bare injunction, the Courts below by their concurrent findings have held that the suit is not maintainable as the appellant ought to have filed a suit for declaration. Admittedly, there is a cloud over the title of the suit schedule property, as seen from the defence raised by the defendants in their written statement. Therefore, necessarily the appellant/plaintiff ought to have filed a suit for declaration.

¶2The learned counsel for the appellant would now submit that liberty may be granted to the appellant/plaintiff to file a suit for declaration. He has also made an endorsement in the Court bundle seeking such liberty.

¶3The said endorsement is recorded by this Court. No prejudice would be caused to either of the parties, if such a relief is granted. In view of the fact that the suit has been dismissed on the ground that the plaintiff has not filed a suit for declaration, this second appeal is disposed of by granting liberty as prayed for by the appellant. No costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petitions are closed.
