            This suit is filed for permanent injunction.


      2.    The facts of plaintiffs case in brief are as under;


      The   properties    described      in   suit     schedule   are

residential sites bearing No.14 and 15 measuring from

East to West on Northern side 58 feets, on Southern side

43 feets, from North to South towards Eastern side 40 feet

on Western side 43 feet, in total 2095.75 sq. ft. formed in

Sy.No.4 of Chikkabettahalli Village in Yalahanka Hobli,

Bengaluru North Taluk. The boundaries of these two sites

are on East site belonging to Keshav Murthy, West-Road,

North-Private Property, South-Road.            The plaintiffs are

absolute owners in peaceful possession and enjoyment of

suit schedule sites.     The plaintiffs have purchased these
                            3               O.S.No.4538/2013

properties from one K.S.Dinesh S/o. K.M. Siddalingappa

through registered sale deed dated 24.1.2013 for valuable

consideration.    The plaintiffs have got khata of suit

schedule property transferred in their names and have

been paying taxes in respect of suit schedule properties

regularly.   The vendor of plaintiffs by name K.S.Dinesh

purchased these lands measuring 0.37 guntas in Sy.No.4

of Chikkabettahalli Village from one B. Srinivas S/o.

Boregowda and formed private layout in this 37 guntas.

There was civil dispute in respect of this 37 guntas land

between one Raghavendra Rao and vendors of plaintiffs

K.S.Dinesh and his vendor B. Srinivas in O.S.No.136/2000

and that dispute ended in compromise in R.A.No.116/2009

before I Addl. District and Sessions Judge, Bengaluru

Rural Court.     In view of compromise, the vendor of

plaintiffs Sri. K.S.Dinesh had become absolute owner of 37

guntas of land purchased by him. Therefore, the vendor of

plaintiffs Sri. K.S.Dinesh conveyed title of suit schedule

sites to plaintiffs by executing registered sale deed dated

24.1.2013.   The defendant is totally stranger to the suit

schedule properties. On 2.5.2013, at about 10.30 A.M. the
                                    4                      O.S.No.4538/2013

defendant along with his supporters came near suit

schedule     properties      and         interfered       with     plaintiffs

construction work of compound wall in suit schedule

properties without any right, title and interest.                         The

plaintiffs   have     made       all    their   efforts    to    resist   the

interference of defendant.              The plaintiffs filed complaint

before police against defendant but the police are not ready

to take any action against defendant. Hence this suit. The

plaintiffs have prayed to restrain the defendant, his agents

or any person claiming under him by permanent injunction

from obstructing construction of compound wall in suit

schedule property.


      3.     After     service     of     summons,        the    defendant

appeared before court through his advocate and filed

written statement.


      4.     The facts pleaded by defendant in his written

statement in brief are as under;


      Suit is not maintainable. The averments of the plaint

are all false.       It is false to say that the plaintiffs are
                                  5                     O.S.No.4538/2013

absolute owners in possession and enjoyment of suit

schedule properties. Alleged interference is false. The suit

schedule properties were part and parcel of land bearing

No.4 totally measuring 10 acres 36 guntas situated at

Chikkabettahalli   Village,          Yalahanka      Hobli,   Bengaluru

North Taluk. This entire land was consisting of 9 acres 10

guntas hyne land and 1 acre 26 guntas kharab land. One

Krishnamurthy was absolute owner in possession and

enjoyment of Sy.No.4 measuring 10 acres 36 guntas

referred to above. The said Krishnamurthy sold two pieces

of land in Sy.No.4 each measuring 1.1 guntas through two

separate   registered     sale       deed    dated    24.9.1979       and

29.11.1979 in favour of one Sri.C.A. Balasubramanian.

Since then, C.A.Balasubramanian was absolute owner in

possession and enjoyment of those two pieces of lands

covered    under   sale     deeds           dated    24.09.1979       and

29.11.1979.   But after death of said Krishnamurthy, his

son Raghavendra Rao started to interfere with possession

of land purchased by C.A. Balasubramanian. Hence, said

C.A. Balasubramanian filed suit in O.S.No.10793/1996

against    Raghavendra      Rao        and     obtained      decree   for
                               6                  O.S.No.4538/2013

permanent       injunction.       Thereafter,      said      C.A.

Balasubramanian sold lands purchased by him from

Krishnamurthy     in    favour    of   present   defendant     on

12.7.2004 for valuable consideration through registered

sale deed dated 12.7.2004 after getting converted that

agricultural   land    into   non-agricultural    land.       The

defendant purchased this land for the reason that on

Northern side of this land, the property belonging to father

of defendant is situating.        The non-agricultural land

purchased by defendant under sale deed dated 12.7.2004

is measuring East to West on Northern side 69 feet 4

inches and on Southern side 45 feet 5 inches and from

North to South on Eastern side 39 feet 5 inches, on

Western side 43 feet 11 inches. This non-agricultural land

purchased by defendant was             initially coming under

Doddabettahalli Gram Panchayath, but now it is coming

under limits of BBMP. The khata of the land purchased by

defendant under sale deed dated 12.7.2004 is 23/3/215 in

BBMP record and it is standing in the name of defendant.

The defendant put up compound wall to this land and has

grown several trees therein and also put up sump etc.,
                              7                   O.S.No.4538/2013

The defendant is absolute owner in possession and

enjoyment of the non-agricultural land referred to above.

These being the facts, the vendors of the present plaintiff

and vendor's vendor of plaintiffs Sri.B.Srinivas and one

Raghavendra Rao S/o. Krishnamurthy started to interfere

with    defendant's   possession     of   non-agricultural   land

purchased by him as referred to above. Hence, defendant

filed suit in O.S.No.25544/2011 before CCH-21 of City

Civil Court, Bengaluru. In that suit, B.Srinivas remained

ex-parte and Raghavendra Rao made statement before

court that he has nothing to do with property purchased by

present defendant under sale deed dated 12.7.2004. These

being facts, B.Srinivas, who is vendor's vendor of present

plaintiffs sold property covered under sale deed dated

12.7.2004 executed in favour of defendant, sold same to

K.S.Dinesh by mentioning different site numbers as 14 and

15     and   by   creating   false    records    with   different

measurements. In fact, said B.Srinivas had no right, title

and interest to sell property of defendant covered under

sale deed dated 12.7.2004. Therefore, vendor of plaintiffs

Sri. K.S.Dinesh did not acquire any right, title and interest
                               8                 O.S.No.4538/2013

over suit site Nos.14 and 15 stated to have been purchased

by plaintiffs. Hence, plaintiffs have not acquired any right,

title and interest over suit schedule properties under sale

deed dated 24.1.2013 for the reason that as on date of

sale, the defendant was owner of those properties. In fact,

suit in O.S.No.136/2000 was collusive suit between

B.Srinivas, K.S.Dinesh and Raghavendra Rao filed with

intention to grab property purchased by defendant under

sale deed dated 12.7.2004. The plaintiffs are interfering

with defendant's possession of property based on false and

created documents. The defendant filed several complaints

before police against present plaintiffs and also against

their    vendors.     The     plaintiffs   obtained   temporary

injunction against defendant on false facts.          For these

reasons, the police did not help the defendant. There is no

cause of action for the suit. On these grounds, defendant

prayed to dismiss the suit.


        5.   On the basis of above pleadings, the following

issues were framed.
                               9                  O.S.No.4538/2013

            interference of the defendant over the suit

          3. Whether plaintiffs are entitled for the relief

     8.     For the reasons stated below, the above issues

are answered as under ;
                                   10                       O.S.No.4538/2013

                Issue No.1: In Negative.
                Issue No.2 : In Negative.
                Issue No.3 : In Negative.
                Issue No.4 : As per final order,
                             for the following;


                            R E A S ON S


        9.      Issue     Nos.1 to 3: To avoid repetition in

discussion,       these    issues      are    taken   up     together   for

consideration.


        The plaintiffs have pleaded that the suit schedule

properties are residential sites.                 The plaintiffs have

purchased these properties through registered sale deed

dated        24.1.2013     from     one      K.S.Dinesh     for   valuable

consideration.       The vendor of plaintiffs purchased these

properties from one B.Srinivas on 13.5.2005 through

registered sale deed.        The plaintiffs have got transferred

khata of suit schedule properties and have been paying

taxes to BBMP regularly.               The plaintiffs being absolute

owners of suit schedule properties are in possession and

enjoyment of same. It is specific case of plaintiffs that the
                             11                   O.S.No.4538/2013

defendant has been interfering with plaintiffs possession

and enjoyment of suit schedule property without right, title

or interest. The defendant is trying to prevent the plaintiffs

from putting up of compound wall in suit schedule

property.


     10.    The defendant denied case of plaintiffs in toto.

The defendant denied title of plaintiffs over suit schedule

sites and also denied title of previous vendors of plaintiffs.

It is specific case of defendant that the vendor's vendor of

plaintiffs got created false sale deed by mentioning

different site numbers and different measurements with

intention to grab property of defendant and then sold same

to one K.S.Dinesh. It is the case of defendant that the sites

described in suit schedule are the properties owned and

possessed by defendant. The defendant purchased these

properties through sale deed dated 12.7.2004. In fact, the

suit schedule property was part and parcel of land bearing

Sy.No.4 of Chikkabettahalli Village totally measuring 10.36

acres.      This   land   was    originally   belonged   to   one

Krishnamurthy. The said Krishnamurthy sold two pieces
                               12                      O.S.No.4538/2013

of land each measuring 1.1 guntas out of 10 acres 36

guntas to one C.A. Balasubramanian through two separate

sale deeds dated 24.9.1979 and 29.11.1979.                  After this

sale transactions, the son of Krishnamurthy by name

Raghavendra Rao started to interfere with possession of

C.A. Balasubramanian of land covered under two sale

deeds referred to above.           Hence, C.A. Balasubramanian

filed suit in O.S.No.10793/1996 and obtained injunction

against   Raghavendra        Rao    and   vendors      of   plaintiffs.

Thereafter, the defendant purchased same lands owned by

C.A. Balasubramanian under sale deed dated 12.4.2004.

The two pieces of lands measuring 1 acre 1 guntas each

shown     in   sale   deed    of    defendant    in     square    feet

measurements and given boundaries.              The boundaries of

land purchased by defendant as described in his sale deed

dated 12.4.2004 and the boundaries of suit schedule

properties purchased by plaintiffs are one and the same.

The defendant is in possession of suit schedule property

and has grown several trees therein. The plaintiff and his

previous vendors had no right, title or interest over suit
                              13                  O.S.No.4538/2013

schedule properties.      Now, the plaintiffs have filed this

false suit at instigation of their vendors.


      11.     The arguments of learned advocate for the

plaintiffs are that the suit schedule properties and property

claimed by defendant are totally different. The property of

defendant is situating at Doddabettahalli Village, whereas,

the    suit    schedule     properties     are   situating     in

Chikkabettahalli Village. The defendant has no right over

suit schedule properties.     The documents relied upon by

the defendant are no way related to the suit schedule

properties.     The plaintiffs have proved by oral and

documentary evidence about their possession over suit

schedule properties. It is further argued by relying upon

the documents produced by the plaintiffs that alleged

interference is also proved.      Hence, plaintiffs are entitled

for relief claimed.


      12.     On the other hand, learned advocate for

defendant argued that, herein this case, the identification

of property claimed by the plaintiffs are disputed by the

defendant. In fact, both properties are one and the same
                             14                  O.S.No.4538/2013

with different BBMP khata numbers.         It is well settled law

that when the identification of property is in dispute, then

the identification of such property can be established by

the boundaries of the properties.        The boundary of suit

schedule property pleaded by plaintiffs in plaint and the

boundary of property of defendant pleaded by defendant

and shown in his sale deed are one and the same.              The

plaintiff No.1 has admitted this fact in his evidence. Apart

from this, the boundaries of suit schedule property shown

in the title deed of plaintiffs and title deed of his vendors

match with the boundaries of property of defendant

pleaded in written statement. The plaintiffs have claimed

property owned and possessed by defendant. This fact is

established by oral and documentary evidence.                 The

defendant has proved that the plaintiffs are claiming

property   belonging   to   defendant.      The    property    of

defendant was initially coming under Chikkabettahalli

Village Grama Panchayath. Thereafter, it had come under

Doddabettahalli Village Grama Panchayath and now it is

under BBMP. The defendant disputed title of plaintiff over

suit schedule properties and successfully raised cloud over
                                15                  O.S.No.4538/2013

title of plaintiffs. Hence, suit for injunction simplicitor is

not   maintainable.          The    plaintiffs   require   to   file

comprehensive suit for declaration to establish their title

over suit schedule properties.         Hence, plaintiffs are not

entitled for any relief claimed.        The suit is liable to be

dismissed. The learned advocate for defendant relied upon

following decisions;

            1. AIR 2008 S.C. 2033 Anathula Sudhakar
            vs. P. Buchi Reddy (Dead) by L.Rs. And ors.


            2.     Judgment rendered in Civil Appeal
            No.8241/2009 in case of Jharkhand State
            Housing Board vs. Didar Singh and Anr.
            (Hon'ble Supreme Court of India)


      13.        This court has carefully perused pleadings of

both parties, appreciated evidence placed on record and

considered the arguments addressed by both learned

advocates.


      This suit is filed for permanent injunction.          In this

case, the plaintiffs require to establish their possession

over suit schedule properties as on date of suit and also
                            16               O.S.No.4538/2013

have to prove alleged interference by the defendant. It is

an admitted fact that the suit schedule properties were

originally part and parcel of agricultural land bearing

Sy.No.4 of Chikkabettahalli Village owned and possessed

by one Sri. Krishnamurthy. It is also an admitted fact that

said Krishnamurthy alienated pieces of lands to several

persons when it was agricultural land in Sy.No.4.      It is

further admitted that after the death of Krishnamurthy,

several disputes arose in respect of land alienated by

Krishnamurthy and in those litigations, the son of

Krishnamurthy by name Raghavendra Rao and subsequent

purchasers were parties. These are admitted facts. In the

light of these admitted facts, the facts and circumstances

of this case are to be appreciated.


      14.   The plaintiffs have pleaded the description of

suit schedule property in plaint schedule as residential

sites bearing No.14 and 15 presently BBMP property

identity    No.4/14-15,    'B'   Khata   No.1195/2013-14,

Corporation Ward No.3, carved out of land bearing Sy.No.4

measuring from East to West on Northern side 58 feet, on
                              17                  O.S.No.4538/2013

Southern side 43 feet and from North to South towards

Eastern side 40 feet, on Western side 43 feet in total

2095.75   sq.   ft.   situated    at   Chikkabettahalli   Village,

Yalahanka Hobli, Bengaluru North Taluk, bounded on East

by Site belonging to Keshav Murthy, West by Road, North

by private property and South by road.           The defendant

claims that the suit schedule property is the property

purchased by him under sale deed dated 12.7.2004 much

prior to the vendor of plaintiff purchased it. The title deed

of defendant Ex.D.6 discloses the description of property

covered under sale deed dated 12.7.2004 as two sites

converted into one unit and measuring in terms of sq. ft.

from East to West on Northern side 69 feet 4 inches, on

Southern side 45 feet 5 inches, from North to South on

Eastern side 39.5 inches and Western side 43.11 inches of

Doddabettahalli Village Panchayath, bounded on East by

remaining portion of C.A. Balasubramanian owned by Sri.

N.Krishnamurthy, West 30 feet road, North to South

No.214 of father of defendant, South 30 feet road.           The

defendant has pleaded that now the property referred to

above is coming under BBMP and Khata Number is 23/3,
                            18                  O.S.No.4538/2013

215   Chikkabettahalli   Village   Village,   Vidyaranyapura,

Bengaluru.     The defendant pleaded that the vendor of

plaintiff and his vendor created false sale deeds at

instigation of Raghavendra Rao S/o. Krishnamurthy by

mentioning different site numbers and measurements. It

is the specific case of defendant that the boundaries of suit

schedule property and property purchased by defendant

under sale deed dated 12.7.2004 are one and the same.

longing to


      15.    Careful perusal of oral evidence of PW.1 shows

that PW.1 in his cross-examination admitted that at the

Northern side of suit schedule property, the property of

defendant is situating. This admission support the case of

defendant that the defendant purchased suit schedule

property from one C.A. Balasubramanian for the reason

that suit schedule properties are situating on Southern

side of property owned and possessed by father of

defendant.      Careful perusal of boundaries given by

plaintiffs show that on Northern side of suit schedule

property there is private property. But in sale deed, it is
                            19                O.S.No.4538/2013

mentioned that private property is existing on North of suit

schedule properties.   But it is not mentioned that the

private property shown in sale deed of plaintiffs belonging

to whom ? Even during cross-examination, PW.1 initially

pleaded ignorance by deposing that he does not know the

private property referred to in the plaint schedule and in

his title deed belongs to whom ?.       But, finally, PW.1

admitted that the said private property is belonging to

defendant.    This conduct of plaintiff shows that the

plaintiffs willfully suppressed the fact of existence of

property of defendant on Northern side of suit schedule

property. Further, the fact that the Northern boundary is

shown in title deed of plaintiff in a vague manner itself

supports case of defendant that the vendor of plaintiffs

executed sale deed in favour of plaintiff in respect of

property of defendant by mentioning different site numbers

and different measurements.     Careful perusal of Ex.D.6

and plaint averments make it clear that the property under

dispute are one and the same.
                            20                 O.S.No.4538/2013

     16.   In this case, the plaintiffs have not produced

layout map of land in which site number 14 and 15 of

plaintiffs are situating. The defendant has specifically

pleaded that the plaintiffs are claiming title over property

owned by defendant. Therefore, it is the duty of plaintiffs to

produce layout map and prove that the property of

defendant is totally different. PW.1 has admitted in the

cross-examination that he has not produced layout map.

Hence, adverse inference has to be drawn against plaintiff

for withholding material evidence.


     17.   The plaintiffs have pleaded that suit schedule

properties are residential sites. During cross-examination,

PW.1 admitted that in the year 2013, when he tried to get

electricity connection to the shed situating in suit schedule

property, the defendant objected and stopped BESCOM

from providing electricity connection to suit schedule

property in the name of plaintiffs. But, in this case, the

plaintiffs have not pleaded about the existence of shed or

dispute arose in respect of electricity connection etc., for

the reasons best known to plaintiffs.     This circumstance
                                  21                     O.S.No.4538/2013

leads to inference that plaintiffs are trying to suppress

material facts relating to suit schedule properties.


     18.      From above, it is clear that the plaintiffs have

failed to establish their possession over suit schedule

properties.     Apart from these circumstance, it is further

opined that in this case, the plaintiffs require to establish

their title over suit schedule property to prove their

possession for the reason that the suit schedule properties

are vacant sites. Hon'ble Supreme Court of India has held in

Anathula Sudhakar vs. P. Buchi Reddy (dead by his L.Rs & Ors)

case, reported in 2008 SC. 2033 that,


           "In cases where dejure possession has to be
           established on the basis of title to the property, as in
           the case of vacant sites, the issue of title may
           directly and substantially arise for consideration, as
           without finding thereon, it will not be possible to
           decide issue on possession."



Here in this case also, as per plaintiffs case, the suit

schedule properties are vacant residential sites. Therefore,

the principle that possession follows title is applicable to

the case of plaintiffs. Hence, to establish their possession
                             22                  O.S.No.4538/2013

over suit schedule property, the plaintiffs require to prove

title over suit schedule property.


      19.   In this case, the defendant has successfully

established that the property described in suit schedule

and the property owned by him are one and the same.

From this, it is clear that the title of plaintiffs over suit

schedule property is in dispute.         The defendant has

asserted his title over suit schedule property and produced

his title deed which was executed much prior to the

execution of sale deed of plaintiffs. For this reason, it is

opined that the title of plaintiffs over suit schedule

property is under cloud.


      20.   Hon'ble Supreme Court of India has held in

decision of Anatula Sudhakar vs. P. Buchi Reddy,

referred to above that, where the title of plaintiff is in

dispute or under a cloud or where defendant asserts his

title thereto and there is threat to the possession of

plaintiff from defendant, then, the plaintiff will have to file

suit for declaration of their title and for consequential relief

of injunction.
                                 23                      O.S.No.4538/2013

      21.   The principles referred to above are applicable

to case on hand.         The plaintiffs claim that they are in

possession of suit schedule properties by virtue of sale

deed dated 24.1.2013. But the defendant disputed title of

plaintiffs and asserted his title over suit schedule property

by virtue of sale deed dated 12.7.2004 executed much prior

to the sale deed of plaintiffs. Hence, the plaintiffs require

to establish their title in a comprehensive suit for

declaration of title.     For these reasons, this suit filed for

bare injunction is not maintainable.


      22.   Under similar circumstance, Hon'ble Supreme

Court of India has held in Civil Appeal No.8241/2009

Jharkhand State Housing Board vs. Didar Singh and

Anr. Case at para 11 as under;

         "It is well settled by catena of Judgments of this
         Court that in each and every case where the defendant
         disputes the title of the plaintiff it is not necessary
         that in all those cases plaintiff has to seek the relief of
         declaration. A suit for mere injunction does not lie
         only when the defendant raises a genuine dispute with
         regard to title and when he raises a cloud over the
         title of the plaintiff, then necessarily in those
                                24                   O.S.No.4538/2013

         circumstances, plaintiff cannot maintain a suit for
         bare injunction.



Here in this case, the defendant raised a genuine dispute

with regard to the title of plaintiffs and title of his previous

vendors, thereby raised cloud on the title of plaintiffs.

Therefore, the plaintiffs cannot maintain suit for bare

injunction against defendant.


      23.   The defendant has pleaded and proved by

producing oral and documentary evidence and also from

eliciting admission from the mouth of PW.1 that after death

of   Krishnamurthy,         original   owner   of     Sy.No.4     of

Chikkabettahalli Village, several disputes have arisen

among subsequent purchasers and son of Krishnamurthy.

This being the fact, the present dispute between plaintiffs

and defendant with regard to suit schedule property is also

title dispute.    For these reasons, it is opined that the

plaintiffs have failed to establish interference alleged by

them. On the other hand, the defendant established that it

is a title dispute which requires to be decided by competent

court in a comprehensive suit filed for declaration of title.
                                25                    O.S.No.4538/2013

Therefore, it is opined that the plaintiff has failed to prove

his possession over suit schedule property and also failed

to prove alleged interference.        Further, the suit filed for

bare injunction is also not maintainable against defendant.

For these reasons, it is opined that the plaintiffs are not

entitled for reliefs claimed.       Hence Issue No.1 to 3 are

answered in Negative.


      24.    Issue No.4: For the reasons stated above, I

pass following;

                              ORDER

Suit is dismissed.

No order as to costs.

Draw decree accordingly.
