THIS WRIT PETITION FILED UNDER ARTICLES 226
AND 227 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA PRAYING TO
QUASH THE ORDER PASSED BY THE LEARNED CIVIL
JUDGE (JR.DN.) AND JMFC, MOLAKALMURU IN
O.S.NO.146/10 DATED 15.2.2007 ON I.A. NO.2
PRODUCED AT ANNEXURE-D TO THE WRIT PETITION.
THIS WRIT PETITION COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY
HEARING IN 'B' GROUP THIS DAY, THE COURT MADE THE
FOLLOWING:-
ORDER
The petitioners filed a suit for permanent injunction and consequential reliefs. Immediately thereafter he filed an application under Order 26 Rule 9 of CPC seeking appointment of Commissioner. The trial Court by the impugned order rejected the same. Hence the present petition.
2. Sri Shanthappa the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners contends that the impugned order is bad in law and liable to be set aside. That the appointment of Commissioner is just and necessary for the final adjudication of the suit.

3. On hearing the counsels and examining the impugned order I do not find any ground that calls for any interference. The suit is one for injunction. The plaintiff has to prove his case by leading cogent evidence. Immediately after filing of the plaint this application has been filed. I have perused the application. It does not warrant appointment of a Commissioner. Only because the defendants dispute the existence of a boundary, is not a ground for appointment of a Commissioner at this stage. The plaintiff has to establish his claim in the suit. The trial Court has rightly rejected the application. The same is in consonance with the facts of the case. I do not find any ground to interfere. The Petition being devoid of merits, is dismissed.
