The plaintiff of OS.No.3483/2005 filed suit against defendants
for Declaration, Possession & Permanent Injunction.
2. The Brief facts of plaint averments in OS.No.16322/2005
is as under:
The plaintiffs submits that defendants No.8 to 12 are minors
and they are represented in this suit by their natural guardian and
father and plaintiffs have filed application U/o 32 Rule 3 CPC for
appointment of guardian for minor defendants for this suit. The
defendants No.1 to 3 being absolute owners of property bearing
No.81/2 measuring 3 acres 17 guntas of Horamavu Village, K.R
Puram Hobli, Bangalore South Taluk under registered WILL
executed by their grand mother Venkatamma on 13/06/1988. After
death of said testator relevant revenue records was mutated vide MR
11
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
No.17/1989-90 in favour of defendants No.1 to 3 in respect of said
land. Thus defendants No.1 to 3 became absolute owners of said
property. That in the year 1991 defendants No.1 to 3 formed layout of
house sites in the northern portion of their said agricultural dry land
in Sy.No.81/2 in Horamavu Village to an extent of 1 acre 24 guntas.
The defendants No.1 to 3 took assistance of defendant No.4 to form
layout and to find out purchasers and transact with the plaintiffs and
other site purchasers in this layout. The defendants No.1 to 3 had
executed General Power of Attorney in favour of defendant No.4 for
the purpose of transactions with purchasers in this layout. A portion
of land measuring 30 guntas was sold to defendant No.4 by
defendants No.1 to 3 under registered sale deed and that portion of
land also made into part of this layout. Totally 47 sites were formed
in this layout by defendants No.1 to 4. After formation of the layout,
the defendants No.1 to 4 got house list numbers assigned for sites
formed in this layout from local authority namely, Horamavu Village
12
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
Panchayat and katha were registered in respect of house sites formed
in layout in revenue records of local Horamavu Panchayat.
3. The plaintiff further submits that in the year 1991-92, the
defendants No.1 to 3 sold sites formed in this layout to plaintiffs
under separate registered sale deeds and also sold sites to some of
plaintiffs through the defendant No.4 through their duly constituted
attorney. The plaintiffs were in actual physical possession and
enjoyment of sites purchased by them. In northern portion of
Sy.No.81/2of Horamavu Village to an extent of 1 acre 24 guntas,
wherein the defendants No.1 to 4 formed 47 sites bounded by North:
land in Sy. No.81/1 belongs to Yamanna, South: land in Sy.No.84
belongs to Baluki Dasappa, West: Jayanthi Grama a part of
Horamavu Village, South: the portion of the land sold to the
defendant No.4 in Sy.No.81/2 by defendants No.1 to 3. The plaintiff
and many others purchased sites formed in this layout from
defendants No.1 to 4 and all 47 sites of different dimensions were
thus sold to plaintiff sand other purchasers during the year 1991-92.
13
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
The defendants No.1 to 3 did not retain any other right, title or
interest over portion of land in Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu Village
wherein the sites were formed and sold to plaintiffs and other
purchasers under registered sald deeds. Thus since year 1991-92
defendants No.1 to 3 ceased to be the owners of northern portion of
land in Sy. No.81/2 of Horamavu Village. The plaintiffs after
purchase of sites got katha of respective sites purchased by them
registered in revenue records of Horamavu Panchayat and paid
property tax in their names for house sites. The local authority,
Horamavu Panchayat thus approved residential layout formed
Sy.No.81/2 Local village authority, Horamavu Panchayat issued
licenses to construct houses in their respective sites to many of
plaintiffs and they have built up their houses and they are living in
the houses with their families since many years. The plaintiffs and
other purchasers of sites are in peaceful possession and enjoyment of
their respective sites. This layout of 47 sites, now part of the large
layout, known as Jayanthi Nagar which is fully developed residential
14
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
layout. There is main road Horamavu Agara-K.R Puram Road
running west to east and passing through the Southern portion in
Sy.No.81/2.
4. The plaintiffs further submit that there are 3 cross roads from
the Agara-K.R Puram Main Road across layout formed in Sy.No.81/2
providing access to all the 47 sites formed. These 3 cross roads
further towards North into layout formed in Sy.No.81/1, (land
belongs to Sri. Yamanna) and provide access to main road from
layout formed in Sy.No.81/1. Since 1991 there was no agricultural
operation in any portion of Sy.No.81/2 and land was fully developed
into layout of sites. The Sy.No.81/1 and Sy.No.84 (presently Eastern
Layout) were developed into layout of sites and many houses have
been constructed in those sites.
5. The plaintiffs further submit that eight of plaintiffs have
already constructed their houses in their respective sites after
obtaining building licenses from the panchayat and occupied their
15
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
houses before 2003 itself. Many more have put up their foundations
and compounds after obtaining license from local Horamavu
Panchayat and they are proceeding with their constructions and
plaintiffs are continuing in occupation of their respective properties.
On 21/10/2004 the defendant No.5 appeared in the layout along with
group of his supporters with strange and equally un-tenable claim
that he purchased the land measuring 1 acres 7 guntas in Sy.No.81/2
wherein the layout has already been formed, from the defendants
No.1 to 3 and their children under registered sale and the defendant
No.5 threatened the plaintiff and other purchasers of site in layout of
forceful dispossession from the properties. The defendant No.5 later
filed caveat against plaintiff before the Civil Judge, Junior Division,
Bangalore (which is not the court having jurisdiction on the area).
Thereafter the defendant No.5 filed suit in OS.No.983/2004 against
defendant No.11 and another purchasers. The defendant No.5
pursuant to sale deed dated 01/03/2004 executed by defendants No.1
to 3 and their respective children fraudulently got the phoding done
16
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
in Sy.No.81/2 and got mutation in respective revenue records and he
falsely representing and claiming that defendant No.5 is in possession
of the agricultural land in Sy.No.81/2 to the extent of 1 acre and 7
guntas (Phodied in his name as Sy.No.81/32) and purchased under
the sale deed dated 01/03/2004 from defendants No.1 to 3 and their
children got revenue records got the revenue department to make
entries in Records of Rights in his name in Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu
Village. That after obtaining copies of defendant No.5 documents
from suit in OS.No.983/2004 in Civil Judge, Junior Division,
Bangalore, they came to know that defendants No.1 to 6 have played
serious fraud in executing registered the sale deed of agricultural dry
land in Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu Village to an extent of 1 acre 7
guntas and 6 guntas Kharab land from defendants No.1 to 3 and their
children on 01/03/2004 and rectification deed dated 29/02/2004. The
property covered under principal deed as per description of
boundaries in schedule show that it is southern portion of Sy.No.81/2
and middle portion shown as portion sold to defendant No.4.
17
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
Whereas the property covered under rectification deed dated
29/03/2004 as per its schedule and boundaries described in the
schedule, it becomes clear that the property intended to be covered
under instrument is shifted to northern portion of Sy.No.81/2
maintaining portion of land sold to defendant No.4 at the middle of
Sy.No.81/2 and forming Southern Boundary to the land, 1 acre 7
guntas as described in the schedule to rectification deed dated
29/03/2004. It shows evil designs of defendants to fraudulently claim
northern portion of Sy.No.81/2. But the defendant No.5 by virtue of
these fraudulent instruments of transfer got phoding done in
Sy.No.81/2 by illegally influencing officials in survey and land
records department without knowledge of plaintiffs and other site
owners and said phoding land in favour of defendant No.5 in
Sy.No.81/2 was done illegally. The officials of survey department
were influenced by defendants did not observe and report about the
existent of layout and possession of plaintiffs and others with houses
in land phoded in the name of defendant No.5 (Sy.No.81/3) and
18
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
fraudulently prepared public document in favour of the defendant
No.5 without any enquiry with persons actually found in possession
in order to cause wrongful loss to plaintiffs and to support the illegal
dispossession of the plaintiffs and other purchasers of site by
defendant No.5. The defendant No.5 after getting the sale deed and
registered deed in his name and after getting done the entries in the
records of rights and mutation and phoding in the said survey
numbers in his name he started to threaten the plaintiffs with
dispossession of their properties from 21/10/2004. Hence the
plaintiffs constrained to file separates suits against the defendant
No.5 and defendants No.1 to 3 before the City Civil Court, Bangalore
(CCH-22) and these suits are pending adjudication Where in court
granted interim injunction in those suits and defendant No.5 and
defendants No.1 to 3 appeared and filed their statement that no layout
was formed in Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu Village and no sites were
ever sold to the plaintiffs. But the plaintiffs submits that the plaintiffs
have purchased the sites in the layout by investing their hard earned
19
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
money and the defendants have planned to take over plaintiffs
properties by such manipulation and machinations with sold aim of
amassing wealth by illegal and unscrupulous means with the aid of
officials and rowdy elements. The defendants are aware of the
purchase of sites from the concerned defendants earlier and
constructions of residential house by some of the plaintiffs. The sale
deed dated 01/03/2004 and rectification deed dated 29/03/2004 in
favour of the defendant No.5 is fraudulent documents and phoding
also done in favour of the defendant No.5 in survey and land records
is bound to be canceled.
6. The plaintiff further submits that cause of action arose on
01/03/2004 and 29/03/2004 which defendant No.5 got executed and
registered the fraudulent sale deed described in the schedule and on
subsequent dates when defendant No.5 got entries in the records of
rights in Sy.No.81/2 in his name and afterwards on 21/10/2004 when
the defendant No.5 armed with the said fraudulent instruments and
revenue documents set up in his name started to threaten the plaintiffs
20
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
to dispossess from their northern portion of Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu
Village and on subsequent dates. The plaintiffs prays decree the suit
for declaration declaring that sale deed dated 01/03/2004 and its
rectification deed dated 29/03/2004 described in the schedule and
executed by the defendants No.1 to 3 and defendants No.6 to 12 in
favour of the defendant No.5 is null and void. The plaintiffs prays to
direct concerned revenue authorities to cancel the entries made in the
record of rights pertaining to Sy.No.81/2 and the phoding of the sub-
survey No.81/3 in favour of the defendant No.5 pursuant to sale
declare null and void. The plaintiffs prays to direct concerned Survey
and land records authority to cancel the phoding done in favour of the
defendant No.5 in sub-No.81/3 in Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu Village
pursuant to instrument of sale declared as Null and Void. The plaintiff

10. The defendant No.5 submits that plaintiffs are making an
attempt to lay claim for land measuring an extent of 1 acre 7 guntas in
Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu village K.R Pura Hobli, Bangalore East
Taluk under the guise of having purchased the sites, bearing the
alleged house list numbers under the registered sale deeds. Their
cannot be property bearing house list numbers in the agricultural land
the house list numbers indicates that the properties are gramatana
properties. As such the contention of plaintiffs that their alleged sites
are in land in Sy.No.81/2 is false and in correct by contending so, the
plaintiffs are laying claim for land of defendant No.5 measuring an
extent of 1 acre 7 guntas in Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu Village, K.R
Puram Hobli, Bangalore East Taluk. That admittedly land in
Sy.No.81/2 is an agricultural land. It is not converted for residential
purpose. As such the question of forming the residential sites in the
agricultural land does not arise at all. Hence the claim of plaintiffs that
their alleged sites are situated in portion of land in Sy.No.81/2 is false
and incorrect and the same is contrary to their sale deeds. It has not
25
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
been stated anywhere in the sale deed that sites are located in the land

gramata1nas sites and said sites are not at all located in the land
Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu Village.

were title holders and in possession and enjoyment of land measuring
an extent of land 3 acre 17 guntas in Sy. No.81/2 of Horamavu Village
K.R Puram Hobli, Bangalore East Taluk having sold an extent of 1

13. The brief facts of plaint averments in OS.No.3483/2005 is
as under:
The plaintiff submits that he is absolute owner of landed
agricultural property bearing Sy.No.81/2 presently Sy.No.81/3 after
being phodied measuring 1 Acre 07 guntas excluding karab of 06
guntas situated at Horamavu village, K.R. Puram Hobli, Bangalore
East Taluk and he acquired said property under registered sale deed on
01/03/2004. That in view of discrepancy crept in with regard to the
boundaries of the schedule under sale deed dated 01/03/2004, the
vendors of schedule property executed registered rectification deed on

28
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
boundaries and he had been put in physical possession of schedule 'A'
property from the date of purchase.
:SUIT SCHEDULE 'A' PROPERTY:
All that piece and parcel of the agricultural dry land
bewaring Sy.No.81/2 presently Sy.No.81/3, after being
phodied measuring 1 Acre 07 guntas excluding karab of 06
guntas of land situated at Horamavu Village, K.R. Puram
Hobli, Bengaluru East Taluk (earlier Bangalore South
Taluk) bounded by East:Baluki Dasappa's Land, West:
Jayanthi Grama and Gomala, North:Vemanna's land,
South: Padmavathi's Land.
The revenue entries for schedule-A land were also mutated as per the
sale deed under M.R.No.48/03-04 in his name in the concerned
revenue authority, accordingly RTC for schedule-A land is running in
his name. Thereafter he has got phoded schedule-A land from survey
authority, as per the phody new Sy.No.81/3 was assigned to the
29
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
schedule-A land for an extent of 1 Acre 07 guntas. That as such being
situation, the persons namely, G. Balakrishna and C.Y. Das S/o
Chandramma although not having any manner of right had made an
attempt to interfere by way of digging the schedule-A land, hence he
filed suit in OS.No.983/2004 for permanent injunction against them.
In the said suit Prl. Civil Judge (Jr. Dvn) Bangalore Rural granted an
ad-interim order of temporary injunction against them from doing or
committing any such unlawful acts over schedule-A land. However
the said suit came to be dismissed, rejecting the plaint on the sole
ground that it bars the jurisdiction of court. That out of land in
Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu village the defendants No. 1 to 3 being
original owners of the land, as they had acquired the same by their
grandmother late Venkatamma W/o Late Venkatappa @ Kullappa by
means of registered WILL dated:13/06/1988, they have sold an
extent of 1 Acre 20 guntas in favour of Munivenkatamma W/o
Dasappa under registered sale deed, extent of 30 guntas in favour
defendant No.4/ Padmavathi Madhireddy W/o Jagadish under
30
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
registered sale deed and schedule-A land an extent of 1 Acre 07 guntas
his favour (plaintiff). As such being the situation the plaintiff in order
to put up fence around the schedule-A land has conducted survey
during the month of July 2004 to measure and identify the actual
extent to dig the pits for planting poles. During the survey defendants
No.5 to 10 and 16 have objected to conduct survey and to put up fence
around the schedule-A land, since it was noticed that the defendants
No.5 to 10 and 16 have been placed illegally over the portion of the
schedule-A land by constructing buildings thereon, which is schedule
'B' property as mentioned in schedule of plaint i.e., item Nos.1 to 8.
The said schedule 'B' is part of schedule 'A' property. The schedule
'B' of the plaint properties are item No.1 is site No.41 in house list
katha No.135/4, item No.2 is site No.21, house list katha No.122/2,
item No.3 is site No.41 in house list katha No.135/4, item No.4 is
site No.38 in house list katha No.122/2, item No.5 is site No.39 in
house list katha No.135/4, item No.6 is site No.37 in house list katha
No.122/2, item No.7 is site No.20 in house list katha No.122/2, item
31
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
No.8 is site No.45 in house list katha No.135/4 situated at Horamavu
Village, K.R. Puram Hobli, Bengaluru East Taluk, Bengaluru. The
plaintiff further submits that on inquiry with the defendants No.5 to 10
and 16 the plaintiff told that they have purchased the said properties
described under the schedule-B property under alleged registered sale
deeds from defendant No.4/Padmavathi Madareddy W/o Jagadish as
she had entered in to sale being alleged GPA holder of defendants
No.1 to 3. That in view of said developments, he had taken utter
surprise, had an enquiry with the defendants No.1 to 3 with regard to
alleged sale of the schedule-B property to defendants bit by bit in the
capacity of sites as schedule-A land has never been converted from
agricultural land into non agricultural land from any of the authorities
either from the hands of the defendants No.1 to 3 or from their
ancestors, apart that the revenue records for the schedule-A land
clearly reflects that it is still being an agricultural revenue land.
However defendants No.1 to 3 have told to the plaintiff that they had
never executed any kind of alleged GPA pertaining to the schedule-A
32
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
or schedule-B property in favour of defendant No.4 Padmavathi
Madareddy to transact with these properties. Therefore alleged sale
deeds on which defendants No.5 to 10 and 16 are claiming their rights
alleged to be the owners of schedule-B property are not substantial.
Hence he having been examined the said facts, has explained and
advised defendants No.5 to 10 and 16 that their possession over
schedule-B property is not legal and proper, since same is being
unauthorized possession, accordingly, they were requested to quit and
deliver the vacant possession of schedule-B property to him, but the
defendants No.5 to 10 and 16 instead of doing so, and they have filed
as many as injunction suits along with the defendants No.11 to 15 in
OS.No.17465/04, 17466/04, 17467/04, 17068/04, 17069/04,
17070/04, 17071/04, 17126/04, 17127/04, 1208/04, 15300/05 and
OS.No.15296/05 on the file of City Civil Judge, Mayo Hall,
Bangalore, and on the file of Addl. Civil Judge, (Jr. Dvn) Bangalore
Rural, Bangalore against the plaintiff. The defendants No.11 to 15
have also filed suits on the file of the City Civil Judge, Mayo Hall,
33
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
Bangalore for the similar relief of injunction for the sites on the basis
of alleged sale deeds. He came to know about all these aspects after he
had received summons of said case during the month of January 2005.
On receipt of case papers and documents, it is clear that defendant
No.4 had obtained alleged registered GPA dated 30/12/1991 from
defendants No.1 to 3 herein in respect of sites but not for the schedule-
A land. Since the alleged GPA had not recited any particulars as regard
to survey number, conversion of land, nature of flow of title of the
owners of the land and from which land the alleged sites referred
thereto were carved out, thus defendant on the basis of the unrelated
alleged GPA sold as many as sites to different persons, thereby
committed total fraud on the basis of unconcerned alleged GPA for
schedule-A land. That while selling said schedule-B property and
other sites under alleged sale deeds to defendants No.5 to 16 had
mentioned house list numbers thereto, which in fact, the schedule-A
land has never been converted at any point of time from agriculture
into non agricultural one. On verification with the concerned
34
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
panchayath, they gave an endorsement stating that no such house list
numbers were issued in the name of defendants No.1 to 3 for
schedule-A land. Thus in toto defendant No.4 on the basis of unrelated
forged alleged GPA has sold as many as sites to third parties, under the
circumstances defendants No. 5 to 16 do not derive any manner of
right and title on the basis of alleged sale deeds, accordingly the
possession of defendants No.5 to 10 and 16 on the schedule-B
property is unauthorized and not legal possession, therefore in the said
event, he having left with no other alternative than to file this suit for
the relief of declaration and possession of the schedule-A and B
property respectively. That he came to know that the defendants No.5
to 16 having realized their unlawful title for schedule-B property and
other alleged sites referred under the alleged sale deeds, and on the
basis of the stubborn entries, have been making attempts to dispose
the said properties by way of sale or creating third party encumbrance,
but the very alleged documents do not create any right or interest over
the said properties on the defendants No.5 to 16. Therefore the alleged
35
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
GPA and alleged sale deeds, which alleged to have been effected by
defendants are not pertaining to schedule property and are not binding
on him, as the said alleged documents are forged, concocted and
created to knock of valuable schedule property by illegal means. The
defendant No. 5 to 16 on the basis of alleged sale deeds said to have
been executed by the defendant No.4 on the basis of alleged bald GPA
have been making hectic efforts to interfere with peaceful possession
and enjoyment of schedule-A land, in fact none of the defendants
herein are having any manner of right and title over the schedule
property. Therefore the attempt of defendants No.5 to 16 on the basis
of concocted forged documents of alleged GPA and sale deeds are not
sustainable under the law, as the same would tantamount to have
wrongful gain to knock off the valuable schedule-A land from the
hand of the plaintiff by illegal means. The defendants No.5 to 10 and
16 are having realized their illegal title and possession of the
schedule-B property and the defendants No.11 to 15 on the basis of
alleged documents of GPA and sale deeds which are nullity in the eye
36
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
of law, however defendant No.5 to 16 with active collusion of
defendant No.4 being supported with money and men are using all
sorts of force over the plaintiff to knock off the schedule-A land by
illegal means, in this connection the defendants have also posed threat
with dire consequences to the life and limb of plaintiff, apart that
defendants No.5 to 16 are making illegal attempts being supported
with the money and men, they have been making hasty attempts to
dispossess the plaintiff from the schedule-A land. In fact he is absolute
owner of schedule-A land acquired title under valid process of law. In
view of the above said illegal developments happened pertaining to
the schedule-A land by the alleged acts of the defendants, the plaintiff
is having every right and title over the schedule-A land.
14. The plaintiffs further submits that the cause of action to file the
suit arose when the defendants have filed injunction suits in the year
2004 on the file of the City Civil judge, Mayo Hall, Bangalore and
Addl. Civil Judge, (Jr. Dn) Bangalore Rural and when the defendant
No.5 to 10 and 16 have made an obstruction to put up fence around
37
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
the schedule-A land during the time of conducting survey in the month
of July 2004 and subsequently. The plaintiff prays to declare that he is
the absolute owner of the schedule 'A' property. The plaintiff prays to
direct the defendants No.5 to 10 and 16 to quit and deliver the vacant
possession of the schedule 'B' property. The plaintiff prays to decree
the suit for permanent injunction restraining the defendants, their
agents, servants, coolies, workers or anybody claiming under them or
through them from interfering with the plaintiffs peaceful possession
and enjoyment of the schedule 'A' property by means of granting a
decree of permanent injunction. The plaintiff prays to award costs of
the suit.
15. The defendant No.1 Narayanappa in OS.No.3483/2005 filed his
written statement and same is adopted by defendants No.2 and 3 by
filing memo. The defendant No.4 not appeared and placed exparte.
The defendant No.1 in his written statement submits that defendants
No.1 to 3 were original owners of land bearing Sy.No.81/2 measureing
3 acre 17 guntas of Horamavu Village, K.R. Puram Hobli, Bangalore
38
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
East Taluk. These defendants acquired said property under registered
will executed by their grandmother dated 13/06/1988. Out of 3 acre
17 guntas they have defendants sold 1 acre 20 guntas in favour of
Munivenatamma under registered sale deed. They have also sold 30
guntas of land in favour of the defendant No.4 under registered sale
deed and put them in possession over the same. The defendants No.1
to 3 sold portion of land measuring 1 acre 7 guntas of Horamavu
Village in favour of plaintiff under registered sale deed dated
01/03/2004. There are some discrepancy in boundaries at the time of
executing sale deed. The plaintiff approached defendants No.1 to 3 for
rectification of boundaries. On verification these defendants comes to
conclusion that there are some discrepancies in boundaries at the time
of executing sale deed and therefore they have executed rectification
deed on 29/03/2004 in favour of plaintiff. On the date of executing the
sale deed defendants No.1 to 3 put him in possession and enjoyment
of said property. Since the date of purchase plaintiff has been
exercising his lawful ownership and possession over the said property.
39
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
The revenue authorities have lawfully effected mutation and pahanies
in his name. The said land was surveyed by department of survey
settlement and land records. As per the phode new survey number has
been assigned as Sy.No.81/3. That these defendants have not made
any application before concerned authority not only in respect of suit
schedule property but also to the entire extent of land to convert for
non residential purposes. Apart from that these defendants have not at
all executed the GPA in favour of defendant No.4 much less anybody.
Even if there is any GPA it is a created, concocted, and forged
document and no reliance could be placed on the said GPA. If any
transactions taken place on the strength of alleged GPA the purchasers
does not derive any right, title, interest or possession over the same.
16. The defendant No.1 further submits that the plaintiff during the
month of July 2004 conducted the survey to measure and identify the
actual extent of said property. At that time the defendants have
objected for the same. These defendants have not converted the land
in Sy.No.81/2 for non agricultural purposes from any of authorities.
40
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
Even to this day schedule property is an agricultural land. These
defendants have not executed any GPA's in favour of anybody much
less the defendant No.4 and they have also not executed sale deeds at
all in respect of the property in question. The alleged GPA's and sale
deeds are all created, concocted and forged documents. On the
strength of the alleged GPA's and sale deeds defendants No.5 to 24
does not derive any title or possession over the same. The alleged sale
deeds executed by defendant No.4 on the strength of alleged created,
forged and got up GPA, the defendants does not derive title or
possession over the same. The suit schedule property is not at all
gramatana property. At no point of time the defendants have not at all
formed any layout in the property in question much less obtained any
layout plan from any authorities as well as the village panchayat. The
suit schedule property is still an agricultural land. If any documents
obtained from the panchayat by the defendants 5 to 16 are all nothing
but created, concocted and collusive documents. Actually the suit
schedule property is not at all village panchayat property. At no point
41
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
of time the names of defendant entered in village panchayat records.
The sale deeds obtained by defendants on the strength of panchayat
records are all null and void documents. They have not derive any title
or possession over the same. In fact the properties claimed by
defendants No.5 to 16 are not at all in existence and the properties are
not at all find place in the panchayat records. The claim made by the
defendants No.5 to 16 as if they are panchayat properties is not at all
correct. At no point of time suit schedule property vest with village
panchayat. The claim made by defendants 5 to 24 are unrighteous and
illegal. The plaintiff is lawful owner in possession of suit schedule
property. Further reiterates that even to this day suit schedule property
is an agricultural land and at an no point time the land has been
converted for non agricultural purposes and even to this day the
property is not at all vest with the Village panchayat and the names of
purchasers have not at all been entered in the panchayat records. Even
the names of defendants have not at all been entered in panchayat
records at any point of time. That the defendants No.1 to 3 who being
42
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
the original owners of 1 acre 7 guntas not only sold by them but also
defendant No.1 daughters and third defendant daughters and sons
represented by the defendant No.3 as their father and natural guardian
in favour of the plaintiff under registered sale deed dated 01/03/2004
and put him possession over the same. The rectification deed also
came to be executed by the aforesaid persons in respect of the
boundaries under registered rectification deed dated 29/03/2004. The
above said facts are very well within the knowledge of the defendants
No.4 to 24. The defendants 4 to 24 have no manner of right, title
interest and possession in respect of suit schedule property at all since
the date of sale plaintiff has been in exercising his right of ownership
in respect of suit schedule property. Admittedly revenue authorities
have lawfully effected mutation and pahanies in the name of the
plaintiff. Admittedly suit schedule 'A' property got phoded by the
survey authorities and assigned new number as Sy.No.81/3 and the
said new number has been implemented in all the survey records and
also in the revenue records. Admittedly suit filed by plaintiff against
43
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
the G. Balakrishna and C.Y. Das for relief of permanent injunction and
in the said suit injunction is granted. Admittedly defendants No.1 to 3
acquired entire extent of land bearing Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu
Village from their grandmother under registered will dated 13/06/1988
and defendants No.1 to 3 sold 1 acre 20 guntas of land in favour of
Munivenkatamma and 30 guntas in favour of defendant No.4 and
remaining 1 acre 7 guntas in favour of the plaintiff. There is no land in
Sy.No.81/2 belonged to defendants No.1 to 3 at all. That in para 8 of
the plaint that the GPA refereed to by the plaintiff alleged to have been
executed by defendants No.1 to 3 in favour of the defendant No.4 is a
created, concocted and forged document. Any sale deeds executed by
the defendant No. 4 in favour of defendant No.5 to 24 are all null and
void documents and they does not derive title or possession over the
same. Admittedly the alleged sale deeds in the schedule 'B' property to
the defendants bit by bit in the capacity of sites has never been
converted from agricultural land to non agricultural one and the suit
schedule property is still agricultural land. The said fact is evidenced

by the revenue documents. The defendants No.1 to 3 never executed
any kind of alleged GPA pertaining to the schedule 'A' or schedule B'
property in favour of defendant No.4 to transact with this properties.
Admittedly the defendants No.5 to 10 and others filed the suit against
the defendants No.1 to 4 and the plaintiff on the file of the City Civil
Judge, Bangalore City for the reliefs of permanent injunction on the
strength of the created and concocted sale deeds. The said suits are
pending. Admittedly, the alleged GPA dated 30/12/1991 in respect of
the alleged sites does not recited any particulars as regard to survey
number conversion of land and title of the owners and same is not in
accordance with the Power Attorney Act and on the strength of the
alleged GPA any sites have been sold is nothing but a created one.
Admittedly, in the sale deeds it had mentioned the house list numbers.
The House list numbers have to entered only after conversion from
agricultural to non agricultural purposes. No such house list numbers
were issued in the name of the defendants No.1 to 3 in respect of
schedule 'A' property. The defendants No.5 to 24 on the strength of
45
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
alleged sale deed does not derive title or possession over the same and
they are not in possession on the strength of the alleged sale deeds.
The alleged sale deeds and GPA are all null and void documents
created in active collusion with defendant No.4. The plaintiff is entitle
for declaration, possession and permanent injunction in respect of the
suit schedule 'A' and B' properties. The defendant No.1 prays to decree
the suit of plaintiff as prayed.
17. The defendant No.5 of OS.No.3483/2005 filed written statement
submitting that there is no comments on para No.1 & 2 of the plaint
averments and in response to para No.3 of the plaint, the defendant
No.5 submits that the sale deed produced at Document No.1 is
fraudulently executed and registered instrument of transfer and the
agricultural land described in its schedule did not exist as on the date
of this sale deed defendants No.1 to 3 and the plaintiff executed and
registered instrument in respect of a non-existent land with a purpose
to play fraud on him and other defendants herein who purchased sites
from defendants No.1 to 3 in the residential layout formed by them in
46
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
the Northern portion of the land in Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu village,
K.R.Puram Hobli, Bangalore South Taluk. That the defendant 1 to 3
had formed the said layout in the Northern portion of their land in
Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu village, K.R.Puram Hobli as early as in the
year 1991 and had sold sites under registered sale deeds to intending
purchasers after obtaining house list numbers and Khatha from the
local Panchayat in their names. After sale of sites in favour of
intending purchasers during 1991-1992 under registered sale deeds the
purchasers were put in physical possession of the sites. That the
rectification deed dated 29/03/2004 to the registered sale deed dated
01/03/2004 is a meticulously drafted fraudulent instrument. The
change brought in the description of boundaries in the original sale
deed, brought in an altogether different property under the
rectification deed. It was not brought to the notice of the Sub Registrar
and got the rectification deed registered by practicing fraud on the
authorities. It could be seen from the description of boundaries to the
property covered under the principal sale deed dated 01/03/2004 that
47
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
the property covered under this sale deed in the Southern portion of
Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu Village situated towards South of the 30
guntas land sold to Smt. Sripadmavathy Madireddy. But the property
described in the schedule to the rectification deed dated 29/03/2004
clearly goes to show that it is the land in Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu
Village situated towards North of the land sold to Smt. Sripadmavathy
Madireddy in Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu village. In other words it
becomes very clear from the description of the property in the
schedule to the sale deed dated 01/03/2004 that the sale deed is not in
respect of the Northern portion of Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu Village
whereas the rectification deed dated 29/03/2004 produced at
Document No.2 is an invalid, fraudulent instrument and it does not
confer any right or title on the defendant No.5 in respect of the
Northern portion of the land in Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu Village
wherein the residential layout was formed by the defendants No.1 to 3
and sites were sold to him and other purchasers of sites. A close look
and verification of the Atlas and Tippani of Sy.No.81/2 placed on
48
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
record again establish the fact that property described in the principal
sale deed schedule is the Southern portion of Sy.No.81/2 situated
towards South of the land sold to Sripadmavathy Madireddy in
SyNo.81/2. The contents of para 5 are denied. It is absolutely false to
say that the plaintiff was put in physical possession of the schedule
property on the date of the purchase. He and other defendant who had
purchased their respective sites formed in the Northern portion of
Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu Village were already in possession of the
land since the year 1991-92 and the purchasers are continuing in
possession of their respective sites. Many site owners have put-up
their houses after obtaining building license from the local authority
Horamavu Village Panchayat. RTC and M.R. Extract produced by the
plaintiff at Document Nos-3 and 4 are fraudulently got-up
manipulated revenue records and those documents do not confer any
right or title on the plaintiff in respect of the agricultural land
described in those documents as the land described in those revenue
documents were not in existence as on the date of the issue of those
49
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
documents. The plaintiff has illegally obtained the land phoded with
Sy.No.81/3 in his name without issuing notices to the site owners,
including him who have been in actual possession of the land and
officials of the survey department also acted in collusion with the
plaintiff to play fraud on him and other site owners. The documents
placed on record at document No-5 to 9 are all got-up documents
obtained at the back of this defendant without following legal
procedure in obvious collusion with officials and they do not confer
any right or title on the plaintiff in respect of the Northern portion of
Sy.No.81/2 of Horamau Village. The contents of para 6 and the facts
stated therein are not relevant for the purpose of deciding the dispute
in this suit. All the averments in para 7 are admitted, except the
averments that schedule-A land to an extent of 1 acre 7 guntas was
sold in favour of the plaintiff. The alleged sale of schedule land in
favour of the plaintiff by defendants No.1 to 3 is a fraudulent
instrument and same is liable to be declared void by the Court. This
defendant and other defendants have already fled a suit in
50
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
OS.No.16322/2005 pending on the file of the City Civil Court, CCH2,
Bangalore to declare the sale deed dated 01/03/2004 and its
rectification deed dated 29/03/2004 claimed by the plaintiff as null
and void and plaintiff has entered his appearance in that suit.
18. The defendant No.5 further submits that averments in para 8 are
not true. That these were fully developed sites with three layout roads
leading to the Agra-Krishnarajapura road passing East to West through
the southern portion of Sy.No.81/2. It is absolutely false to say that the
plaintiff noticed the occupation of the land by him and other
purchasers only in July 2004 when the plaintiff came to put-up fencing
around the schedule-A land after purchase in March 2004. That many
of the site owners had already constructed their houses and many
owners have put compounds and foundations in their respective sites
and they were in existence on the schedule-A land many years prior to
the year 2004. That most of the registered sale deeds were executed by
defendants No.1 to 3 directly collecting money from the site owners
before the Sub-Registrar and only very few sale deeds were executed
51
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
through the registered GPA Holder Smt. Padmavathy Madireddy. In
any view of the matter he and other purchasers of the sites were in
physical possession and enjoyment of their respective properties
formed in the Northern portion of Sy.No.81/2 under their respective
registered sale deeds and title documents for more than 12 years prior
to the plaintiff's sale deed dated 01/03/2004. Defendants 1 to 3 had no
subsisting title to the Northern portion of Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu
Village wherein the layout was formed to confer title to the plaintiff as
on 01/03/2004.
19. The defendant No.5 denied the plaint para Nos.9 to 16. The
defendant No.5 submits that the defendants No.5 to 16 were acted to
defend their respective properties taking recourse to legal remedy. The
plaintiff attempted to invade on defendants property after obtaining
the fraudulent sale deed and manipulated the revenue records in his
name and defendants No.5 to 16 have filed separate suit for
injunction, now pending before the CCH-22. The defendants also filed
OS.No.16322/2005 before the City Civil Court, Bengaluru to declare
52
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
the sale deed claimed by the plaintiff as null and void. The suit for
possession of the schedule property is barred by Limitation. The
plaintiff nor his vendors never in possession of the schedule property
within 12 years immediately precedeing to filing of this suit. The suit
is not filed with proper. By seeking the relief of clause (a) in prayer
column, the plaintiff is seeking cancellation of individual sale deed of
the defendants in respect of their respective sites. Further under clause
(b) in prayer column the plaintiff seeking the relief of possession of 'B'
schedule properties which are site with buildings and Court Fee ought
to have been paid on the market value of the property covered under
the schedule 'B' and also market value of the sites other than described
in the schedule 'B' in existence on 'A' schedule land and also taken
into account for the Court Fee. The plaintiff is not entitled for the
relief. The defendant No.5 prays to dismiss suit with exemplary costs.
20. The defendants No.6 to 10 and 12 to 16 of OS.No.3483/2005
have filed separate written statement narrating the same set of facts as
53
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
narrated by the defendant No.5 in his written statement as discussed
above.
21. The defendant No.17 of OS.No.3483/2005 filed written
statement submitting that there is no comment on plaint para Nos.1 &
2. With reference the para No.3 of the plaint, he submits that the sale
deed produced at Document No.I is fraudulently executed and
registered instrument of Transfer and the agricultural land described in
its schedule did not exist as on the date of the sale deed. The
defendants No.1 to 3 and the plaintiff executed and registered
instrument of sale in respect of a non-existent land with an intention to
play fraud on him and other defendants herein who purchased sites
from defendants No.1 to 3 in the residential layout formed by them in
the Northern portion of the land in Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu Village,
K.R. Puram Hobli, Bangalore South Taluk. That the defendants No.1
to 3 had formed the said layout in the Northern portion of their land in
Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu Village, K.R. Puram Hobli as early in the
year 1991 and had sold sites under registered sale deeds to intending
54
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
purchasers after obtaining House List numbers and khatha from local
panchayat in their names. After sale of sites in favour of intending
purchasers during 1991-92 under registered sale deeds the purchasers
during 1991-92 under registered sale deeds the purchasers were put in
physical possession of the sites. Defendants No.5 to 23 in this suit are
purchasers of sites in this layout formed in schedule 'A' land.
22. The defendant No.17 further submits that the rectification deed
dated 29/03/2004 is meticulously drafted fraudulent instrument. The
change brought in the description of boundaries in the original sale
deed brought in an altogether different property under the rectification
deed. It was not brought to the notice of the Sub-Registrar and got the
rectification deed registered by practicing fraud on the authorities. It
could be seen from the description of the boundaries in the original
sale deed dated 01/03/2004 that the property covered under this sale
deed is in the Southern portion of Sy.No.81/2 of Horavamu Village
situated towards South of the 30 guntas land sold to Smt. Padmavathy
Madireddy. But the property described in the schedule to the
55
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
rectification deed dated 29/03/2004 clearly goes to show that it is the
land in Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu Village situated towards North of the
land sold to Smt. Padmavathy Madireddy in Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu
Village. In other words it becomes very clear from the description of
the schedule property in the sale deed dated 01/03/2004 that the sale
deed is not in respect of the Northern portion of Sy.No.81/2 of
Horamavu Village, whereas the rectification deed dated 29/03/2004
produced at Document No.2 is an invalid, fraudulent instrument and it
does not confer any right or title on the plaintiff in respect of the
Northern portion of the land in Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu Village,
wherein the residential lay out was formed by the defendants No.1 to
3 and sites were sold to this defendant and other purchasers of sites. A
close look and verification of the Atlas and Tippani of Sy.No.81/2
placed on record in the principal sale deed schedule is the Southern
portion of Sy.No.81/2 situated towards South of the land sold to
Sripadmavathy Madireddy in Sy.No.81/2.

23. The defendant No.17 further submits that the contents of para-5
are denied. It is absolutely false to say that the plaintiff was put in
physical possession of the schedule property on the date of purchase.
This defendant and other defendants who had purchased their
respective sites formed in the Northern portion of Sy.No.81/2 of
Horamavu Village were already in possession of the land since the
year 1991-92 and the purchasers are continuing in possession of their
respective sites. Many site owners have put up their houses after
obtaining building license from the local authority, Horamavu Village
Panchayat. RTC and MR extract produced by the plaintiff at
Document Nos.3 and 4 are fraudulently got-up manipulated revenue
records and those documents do not confer any right or title on the
plaintiff in respect of the agricultural land described in those
documents. The plaintiff has illegally obtained the land phoded with
Sy.No.81/3 in his name without issuing notices to the site owners,
including this defendant, who have been in actual possession of the
land and officials of the Survey Department also acted in collusion
57
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
with the plaintiff to play fraud on this defendant and other site owners.
The document placed on record at Document Nos.5 to 9 are all got up
documents obtained at the back of this defendant without following
legal procedure obviously in collusion with officials and those do not
confer any right or title on the plaintiff in respect of the Northern
portion of Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu Village.
24. The defendant No.17 of OS.No.3483/2005 further submits that
the averments made in para-7 are admitted, concept the averments
that schedule 'A' land to an extent of 1 acre 7 guntas was sold in
favour of the plaintiff. The alleged sale of schedule land in favour of
the plaintiff by defendants No.1 to 3 is a fraudulent instrument and the
same is liable to be declared void by the Court. He and other
defendants have already filed suit in OS.No.16322/2005 pending on
the file of City Civil Judge, CCH-22, Bengaluru to declare the sale
deed dated 01/03/2004 and its rectification deed dated 29/03/2004
claimed by the plaintiff is null and void and the plaintiff has entered
appearance in that suit. That the averments made in para-8 of the
58
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
plaint are not true. That these were fully developed sites with three
layout roads leading to the Agra-Krishnarajapura Main Road passing
East to West through the Southern portion of Sy.No.81/2. It is
absolutely false to say that the plaintiff noticed the occupation of the
land by this defendant and other purchasers only in July 2004 when
the plaintiff came to put up fencing around the schedule 'A' land after
purchase in March 2004. That many of the site owners have put up
compounds and foundations in their respective sites and they were in
existence on the schedule 'A' land many years prior to the year 2004.
That most of registered sale deeds were executed by defendants No.1
to 3 directly collecting money from the site owners before the Sub-
Registrar and only few sale deeds were executed through the
registered GPA Holder/ Padmavathy Madireddy. In any view of the
matter he and other purchasers of the sites wherein physical
possession and enjoyment of their respective properties formed in the
Northern portion of Sy.No.81/2 under their respective registered sale
deeds and title documents for more than 12 years prior to the
59
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
plaintiff's deed dated 01/03/2004 defendants No.1 to 3 had no
subsisting title to the Northern portion of Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu
Village wherein the layout was formed to confer title to the plaintiff as
on 01/03/2004. The defendant No.17 submits that the contents of
plaint para No.10 to 15 are all false. The plaintiff deliberately avoided
to implead many of the purchasers of the sites including him in this
suit. The plaintiff is not entitled for the reliefs as prayed. The
defendant No.17 prays to dismiss the suit with exemplary costs.
25. The defendants No.18 to 23 of OS.No.3483/2005 have five filed
their separate written statement narrating the same set of facts as
submitted by the defendant No.17 in the written statement as
discussed above.
26. The defendant No.24 not appeared inspite of service of
summons and placed exparte. The defendant No.11 appeared through
counsel, but not filed written statement and contested the suit.
60
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
27. The defendant No.25 and 26 have filed common written
statement submitting that the plaintiff filed suit seeking the relief of
Declaration that the plaintiff is absolute owner of suit schedule 'A'
property and also directing the defendants No.5 to 10 and 16 to quit
and deliver the vacant possession of the schedule 'B' property and also
for Permanent Injunction restraining the defendants, their agents,
servants, coolies, workers or anybody claiming under or through them
from interfering with the plaintiffs peaceful possession and enjoyment
over the suit schedule 'A' property. The suit of plaintiff is not
maintainable either in law of on facts. The plaintiff has deliberately
sought for relief of declaration that he is the absolute owner of the
schedule 'A' property suppressing the fact that Sy.No.81/2 has lost its
agricultural character as the owners of the land namely children of Sri
Venkataswamappa @ Cheekabbayya have formed private layout and
sold lthe sites to several persons. Therefore Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu
Village, K.R. Puram Hobli, Bangalore East Taluk is no more an
agricultural land. Further, the plaintiff has not valued the suit on the
61
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
market value of the schedule property and therefore Court Fee paid is
insufficient. In view of the same the plaintiff may be directed to pay
the Court Fee on the market value of the property failing which the
plaint may be rejected U/o VII R.11 of CPC. The plainitff is neither
owner nor in possession of suit propeprty. The land bearing
Sy.No.81/2 situated at Horamavu Village, K.R. Puram Hobli,
Bengaluru South Taluk originally belong to Venkatasamy S/o
Muthappa. In the said survey number the owner/his children have
formed private layout of residential sites and sold most of the sites to
the outsiders. The Children of Venkataswamappa namely 1)
Narayanappa, 2) Nagaraja and 3) Jayaram have sold site No.46
measuring East to West 37 feet and North to South 30 feet totally 1110
sq.ft in favour of N.S. Kaimal under the sale deed dated 18/12/1991.
They have also sold another site bearing No.47 measuring East to
West (39+37)/2 and North to South 30 feet totally 1140 sq.ft in favour
of T. Vijayan. The said T. Vijayan and N.S. Kaimal have sold both the
site Nos.46 & 47 totally measuring 2250 sq.ft to Smt. M. Malini W/o
62
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
V. Rajan under the sale deed dated 13/07/2001. The said Smt. Malini
has in turn sold Northern portion of site No.47 and entire site No.46
measuring East to West 37 feet and North to South 30.5 feet in all
measuring 1129 sq.ft in favour of these defendants under the sale deed
dated 14/06/2004. Since then these defendants are enjoying the said
sites purchased by them as its owners and in fact, these defendants
have also dug a bore well on the said site purchased by them. Further
these defendants have been paying taxes to the concerned authority.
Inspite of knowing the formation of the layout, selling of the sites in
favour of these defendants the plaintiff has suppressed the same and
not challenged the sale deeds. Even according to the plaint averments,
plaintiff is claiming schedule properties on the basis of sale deed dated
01/03/2004. Even before said sale deed owners have transferred their
rights in favour of various purchasers including these defendants.
Therefore sale deed dated 01/03/2004 is void, illegal, unauthorized
and without authority of law. The plaintiff is neither the owner not in
possession of the schedule properties. No relief is claimed against him
63
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
and sites for which these defendants are owners in possession are not
subject matter of suit and on this ground alone the suit as against these
defendants is liable to be dismissed. The defendants No.25 & 26
denied allegations of plaint para No.3 to 15. The defendants No.25 &
26 submits that there is no cause of action for the suit against them.
The defendants No.25 & 26 prays to dismiss the suit with exemplary
costs. The defendant No.27 filed memo adopting written statement of
defendants No.6, 16, 17 and 19.

enjoyment of the said land measuring 3 acres 17 guntas in Sy.No.81/2
of Horamavu village, K.R. Puram Hobli, Bengaluru south taluk. That
during the year 1991 the defendant No.1 to 3 formed house sites in the
Northern portion of their said Sy.No. 81/2 in Horamavu village to an
extent of 1 acre 24 guntas. The defendant No.1 to 3 took the assistance
of the defendant No.4 to form layout and to find out purchasers and
transact with the plaintiffs and other site purchasers in this layout.
The defendants No.1 to 3 had executed General Power of Attorney in
favour of the defendant No.4 for purpose of transaction with
purchasers of sites in this layout. A portion of this land measuring 30
guntas was sold to defendant No.4 by defendant No.1 to 3 under
registered sale deed and that portion of land also made into part of this
layout. That totally 47 sites were formed in the layout by defendant
70
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
No.1 to 4. After formation of the layout, the defendants No.1 to 4 got
House List numbers assigned for the sites formed in this layout from
the local authority namely, Horamavu village Panchayat and Khatha
were registered in respect of House sites formed in the layout in the
revenue records of the local Horamavu panchayat. That during the
year 1991-1992 defendant No.1 to 3 sold the sites formed in the
layout to the plaintiffs under separate registered sale deeds registered
in the office of the Sub-Registrar, K.R. Puram defendant No.1 to 3
sold sites and received payment of sale consideration from many of
the plaintiff before the Sub-Registrar as evidenced by this respective
sale deeds of sites produced herewith. The defendants No.1 to 3 also
sold sites to some them through defendant No.4 their duly constituted
attorney. They were put in actual physical possession and enjoyment

Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
to one Baluki Dasappa, West: Jayantigrama a part of Horamavu
village, South :the portion of the land sold to the defendant No.4 in
Sy.No.81/2 by defendant No.1 to 3. The plaintiffs and many others
purchased the sites formed in this layout from defendant No.1 to 4 and
all the 47 sites of different dimensions were thus sold to him and other
purchasers during the year 1991-92 defendant No.1 to 3 did not retain
any right, title or interest over the portion of the land in Sy.No.81/2 of
Horamavu Village wherein the sites were formed and sold to the
plaintiffs and other purchasers under registered sale deeds. Thus since
the year 1991-92 the defendant No.1 to 3 ceased to be the owners of
the northern portion of the land in Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu village
wherein the said layout was formed and sites were sold to the
plaintiffs and other purchasers. That after purchase of sites got the
khatha of the respective sites purchased by them registered in the
revenue records of Horamavu Panchayat and paid property tax in their
names for the house sites. The local authority, Horamavu panchayat,
thus approved the residential layout formed in Sy.No.81/2 Local
72
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
village authority, Horamavu panchayat issued licenses to construct
houses in their respective sites to many of them and they have built-up
their houses and are living in those houses with their families since
many years. They along with other purchasers of sites are in peaceful
possession and enjoyment of their respective sites. This layout of 47
sites, now a part of the larger layout,known as Jayanthi Nagar which is
fully developed residential layout. There is main road Horamavu
Agra, K.R. Puram Road running west to east and passing through the
southern portion in Sy.No.81/2. There are three cross roads from the
Agra-K.R.uram main road across the layout formed in Sy.No. 81/2
providing access to all the 47 sites. There three cross roads extend
further toward north into the layout formed in Sy.No.81/1 (land
belongs to Yamanna) and provide access to the main road from the
layout formed in Sy.No.81/1. That since 1991 there was no
agricultural operation in any portion of Sy.No.81/2 and land was fully
developed into layout of sites. The adjoining Sy.No.81/1 and Sy.No.84
(presently easther layout) were also developed into layout of sites and
73
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
many houses have been constructed in those sites. That eight of them
have already constructed our houses in their respective sites after
obtaining building licences from the Panchayat and occupied the
houses before 2003 itself. Many more of them have put up the
foundations and compounds after obtaining license from the local
Horamavu panchayat and are proceeding with their constructions. In
total they are continuing in occupation of their respective properties.
The defendant No.5 for the first time on 21/10/2004 appeared in
layout along with group of his supporters with strange and equally
untenable claim that he purchased the land measuring 1 acre 7 guntas
in Sy.No.81/2 from the defendants No.1 to 3 and their children under
registered sale deed, wherein the layout has already been formed, and
the defendant No.5 threatened them and other purchasers of sites in
the layout of forceful dispossession from their respective properties.
They have filed complaints before the jurisdictional police for
protection of their properties. The defendants No.1 to 4 even though
contacted by them were not prepared to intervene. The defendant No.5
74
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
later filed caveat against some of them before the Civil Judge
(Jr.Dvn.) Court, Bengaluru which is not the Court having jurisdiction
on the area and copies of the caveat petition were served on the
plaintiffs. Thereafter defendant No.5 filed suit in OS No.983/2004 in
the Civil Judge (Jr.Dn) Court against the plaintiff No.11 and another
purchaser of site and produced his sale deed and other revenue
documents, defendant No.5 pursuant to sale deed dated 01/03/2004
executed by defendants No.1 to 3 and their children fraudulently got
the phoding done in Sy.No.81/2 and got mutation in respective
revenue records. The defendant No.5 falsely representing and
claiming that he is in possession of the agricultural land in Sy.No.81/2
to the extent measuring 1 acre and 7 guntas (phoded in his name as
Sy.No.81/3) purchased under sale deed dated 01/03/2004 from
defendants No.1 to 3 and their children got the revenue records got the
revenue department to make entires in the records of rights in his
name in Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu village. That after obtaining copies
of the defendant No.5 documents from the above said suit in OS
75
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
No.983/2004 in Civil Judge (J.D) Bengaluru, they came to know that
the defendants have played serious fraud in executing and registering
the sale deed of the agricultural dry land in Sy.No.81/2, Horamavu
village to an extent of 1 acre 7 guntas and 6 guntas kharab land from
defendants No.1 to 3 and their children, defendants No.6 to 12 under
the registered sale deed dated 01/03/2004 and its rectification deed
dated 29/03/2004 registered in the office of the Sub-Registrar, K.R.
Puram, Bengaluru.
34. The PW.1 deposed evidence that careful look at the property
covered under the said principal sale deed dated 01/03/2004 as
described in its schedule and the property described in the schedule to
the Rectification Deed dated 29/03/2004 will go to establish the fact
that these instruments are very meticulously engineered fraudulent
instruments of transfer to wrongfully claim and gain the plaintiffs
properties covered under their title deeds executed by defendants No.1
to 4 about 13 years ago after forming the layout in question during
1991-92. The property covered under the principal deed (sale deed
76
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
dated 01/03/2004) as per the description of boundaries in the schedule
show that it is the Southern portion of Sy.No.81/2 and the middle
portion shown as portion sold to defendant No.4 Padmavathy
Madireddy. Whereas the property covered under the Rectification
deed dated 29/03/2004 as per its schedule and the boundaries
described in the schedule, it becomes clear that the property intended
to be covered under the instrument is shifted to Northern portion of
Sy.No.81/2 maintaining the portion of the land sold to defendant No.4
(Padmavathy Madireddy) at the middle of Sy.No.81/2 and forming
Southern boundary to the land, 1 acre 7 guntas as described in the
schedule to the rectification deed dated 29/03/2004. It obviously
shows the evil designs of the defendants to fraudulently claim the
Northern Portion of Sy.No.81/2 wherein the layout was formed
defendant No.5 by virtue of these fraudulent instruments of transfer
got the phoding done in Sy.No.81/2 by illegally influencing the
officials in the survey and land records department without the
knowledge of the plaintiffs and other site owners who have been in
77
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
possession of land for the past 13 years and over and got the land
phoded as Sy.No.81/3 in his name without any notice to the plaintiffs
whose possession and physical presence with house on the land
phoded in favour of the defendant No.5 would be clear and evident to
any official from the survey and land record department. It is obvious
that the phoding in favour of the defendant No.5 in Sy.No.81/2 was
done illegally, improperly and by playing fraud on the plaintiffs and
other purchasers of sites who are in actual occupation of the Northern
portion of the land in Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu village to an extent of
1 acre 24 guntas. That the officials of the survey department who were
the defendants did not observe and report the existence of the layout
and the possession of the plaintiffs and others with houses in the land
phoded in the name of the defendant No.5 and fraudulently prepared
public documents to favour the defendant No.5 with out any enquiry
with the persons actually found in possession in order to cause
wrongful loss to the plaintiffs and to support the illegal dispossession
of the plaintiffs and other purchasers of sites by defendant No.5 who
78
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
also got his name entered in the records of rights and mutation register
in respect of Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu Village by virtue of the
fraudulent instrument of sale dated 01/03/2004 and its Rectification
deed dated 29/03/2004 without any proper enquiry and with out notice
to plaintiffs and other purchasers. That there was no agricultural
operation in the land in question in Sy.No.81/2 in the year 2003 or
2004 and since 1992 land was not agricultural. That the instrument of
sale dated 01/02/2004 and its Rectification deed dated 29/03/2004 are
bound to be declared null and void as the same being fraudulent and
do not confer any title on the defendant No.5 in respect of Northern
portion of the land in Sy.No.81/2 to the extent of 1 acre 7 guntas
(phoded as Sy.No.81/3 in the name of the defendant No.5) and the
entries made in the records of rights in Sy.No. 812 of Horamavu
village and phoding done in the name of the defendant No.5 in
pursuance of the instrument of transfer are liable to be cancelled. That
the defendants No.1 to 3 were absolute owners of land in Sy.No.81/2
of Horamavu Village which they acquired under the registered Will of
79
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
their grand mother as stated above. Their children, defendants No.6 to
12 did not acquire any right in the said property during the life time of
their father even though they are shown as parties to the instrument of
sale dated 01/03/2004 and its rectification deed dated 29/03/2004.
They are also impleaded as defendants in this without prejudice to the
contention of the plaintiffs that the defendant No.1 to 3 were the
absolute owners of the land in northern portion of Sy.No.81/2 of
Hoamavu Village wherein the layout in question was formed and sites
were sold to the plaintiffs and other purchasers by defendant No.1 to
3. That the defendant No.5 after getting the fraudulent instrument of
sale executed and registered in his name and after getting done the
entries in the Records of Rights and Mutation and phoding in the said
survey number in his name in the concerned revenue records and
survey records started threatening the plaintiffs with dispossession of
their properties from 21/10/2004, defendant No.5 cunningly and
stealthy completed the process of setting-up his fraudulent title to the
and in question with active collusion of the officials of the revenue
80
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
and survey departments. The plaintiffs apprehending danger to their
peaceful possession and enjoyment of their properties filed separate
suit against defendant No.5 and defendants No.1 to 3 for permanent
injunction in the City Civil Court, Bengaluru (CCH-22) and these
suits are pending adjudication. The court has granted interim
injunction in those suits and defendant No.5 and defendants No.1 to 3
appeared and filed their statements taking collusive stand to the effect
that no layout was formed in Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu Village and no
sites were ever sold to the plaintiffs. The Plaintiffs have purchased the
sites in the layout by investing their hard earned money and the
defendants have planned to take over the plaintiffs properties by such
manipulations and machinations with sole aim of amassing wealth by
illegal and unscrupulous means with the aid of officials and rowdy
elements. The defendants are aware of the purchase of the sites from
the concerned defendants earlier and constructions of residential house
by some of the plaintiffs were also carried out not with in short span
of time. All the plaintiffs being in the middle income group
81
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
construction was carried out step by step and defendants were mute
witnesses for all these developments and change taking place.
Purposely they waited so as to brow beat and coerce the plaintiffs into
submission, concerned revenue officials have also gave their whole
hearted co-operation in fulfilling the evil designs of the defendants.
The defendant No.5 has set up a fraudulent instrument of sale
described in the schedule without any title conferred on him under the
said instrument from his vendors in respect of the land covered under
the said sale deed. The said instrument of sale is fraudulent, devoid of
title and in respect of a property which does not exist as on the date of
its execution on 01/03/2004 and rectification deed dated 29/04/2004
and it was executed and registered with the malicious and evil motive
to grab the plaintiffs properties and to make wrongful gain by
perpetuating fraud. The instrument of sale described in the schedule is
bound to be declared by this Court as null and void. That the entires
made in the records of rights in Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu village in
favour of defendant No.5 pursuant to the said fraudulent instrument of
82
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
sale are also liable to be cancelled and removed. The phoding done in
favour of the defendant No.5 in the survey and land records
(Sy.No.81/3) is also bound to be cancelled. It is also imperative to
issue such directions from this court to the concerned revenue
departments to nullify the fraudulent entries made in those records
hence this suit. The above facts prove the mischief played by the
defendants on the purchasers of the sites in the said layout. That each
of the plaintiff has filed a suit against the defendant for the relief of
permanent injunction. Further the defendant No.5 has filed another
counter suit in O.S.No.3483/2005 which has been clubbed along with
this suit. The PW.1 prays to decree the suit as prayed. In support of
oral evidence PW.1 marked ExP1 to ExP100 and ExP110 to ExP133.
35. The plaintiff No.5 Sahadevan Pillai S/o Late P. Achuthan Pillai
has filed his affidavit evidence in lieu of examination-in-chief of PW.2
and deposed the evidence same set of evidence as deposed by PW.1 as
discussed above. The PW.2 prays to decree suit as prayed. In support
of oral evidence PW.2 marked ExP101 to ExP109.

Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
36. The defendant No.1 Narayanappa S/o Venkateshwarappa @
Chikkabbaiah filed his affidavit in lieu of examination in chief as
DW.1 and deposed evidence that the plaintiffs filed above frivolous
suit based on concocted documents and distortion of the facts only to
harass him. The defendants No.1 to 3 are absolute owners of land
bearing Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu Village, K.R. Puram Hobli,
Bengaluru South Taluk, (presently Bangalore East Taluk) measuring 3
acres 0.17 guntas. That earlier the said land acquired by their
grandmother Venkatamma under registered sale deed dated
28/09/1964 from one Venkataswamy, her name entered to revenue
records as owner in cultivation, thereafter their grandmother
Venkatamma executed registered Will dated 13/06/1988 in their
favour i.e., himself, his brothers Nagaraja, Jayaram and his sister Smt.
Pullamma. Their grandmother Venkatamma died leaving behind above
said Will, thus they became the absolute owners of land measuring 3
acres 0.17 guntas including kharab of 0.06 guntas, the same bounded
by East:land of Balki Dasappa, West:Jayanthi Village, North:Land of
84
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
Yamanna and South: land of Baluki Dasappa. That out of afore said
land they sold 1 acre 20 guntas in favour of Munivenkatmma thereby
retained remaining extent measuring 1.37 guntas with 6 guntas of
kharab. They defendants No.1 to 3 sold another portion of 30 guntas
out of the above said land in favour of Padmavathy Madireddy under
registered sale deed om 17/07/1991 and they retained 1 acre 13 guntas
including 6 gunta karab.
37. The DW.1 further deposed the evidence that the defendants No.1
to 3 along with their family members continued to enjoy the
remaining extent of 1 acre 13 guntas treating it as their joint family
property. That in order to meet their urgent family necessities, they
sold the said extent of 1 acre 13 guntas in Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu
Village in favour of defendant No.5 Y.N. Kondareddy under registered
sale deed dated 01/03/2004. that after registration of the said sale deed
it is noticed that there is some mistake crypt in mentioning of
boundaries under aforesaid sale deed dated 01/03/2004, there after
they along with their family members executed rectification deed
85
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
dated 29/03/2004 in favour of Y.N. Kondareddy, the property sold
bounded by East:land of Baluki Dasappa, West:Jayanthi Village,
North: Land of Yamanna and South:Land of Padmavathi Madireddy.
That the property they sold in favour of Y.N. Kondareddy situated
towards the north of land sold to Padmavathi. That pursuant to the
registered sale deed in favour of Y.N. Kondareddy, the Sy.No.81/2 it is
sub phoded and assigned with a new Sy.No.81/3 measuring 1 acre 7
guntas in favour of the purchaser Y.N. Kondareddy, the mutation and
RTC entered to the name of purchaser Y.N. Kondareddy. That they the
defendants No.1 to 3 and their family members never sold an inch of
land in aforesaid Sy.No.81/2 which was already sold in favour of Y.N.
Kondareddy.
38. The DW.1 further deposed evidence that defendants No.1 to 3
are uneducated not acquainted with worldly affairs. He know to put
his signature in Kannada but he do not know reading and writing of
any of the language. The false allegation of the plaintiffs that in the
year 1991 defendants No.1 to 3 formed layout of house sites in the
86
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
Northern portion of their agricultural dry land bearing Sy.No.81/2 of
Horamavu Village in an extent of 1 acre 24 guntas by taking
assistance of defendant No.4/Padmavathi Madireddy is absolute false,
the defendants No.1 to 3 never ever executed any power of attorney in
favour of defendant No.4, since at no point of time they have any
transaction with Padmavathi except land sold to her measuring 30
guntas of land. The allegations of plaintiffs that they formed 47 sites
including 30 guntas of land sold in favour of defendant No.4 is utter
false, the said land retained by them after sale in favour of
Padmavathi Madireddy measuring only 1 acre 13 guntas the same
remained and retained as agricultural land assessable for land revenue,
the false allegation of plaintiffs that plaintiffs alleged sites unexisted
layout of sites was assigned with house list numbers including katha
in the Village Panchayath records of Horamavu Panchayath is another
blatant false. That Horamavu village panchayath situated for from
their agricultural land i.e., Sy.No.81/2 new No.81/3, they never
approached said village panchayathfor katha and house list number to
87
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
their names. That to his knowledge the village panchayth had no
authority or power to issue katha of house list numbers in respect of
revenue land. Hence he denied alleged katha numbers as claimed by
the plaintiffs. Their further allegations that katha numbers alleged to
be issued by Horamavu Village Panchayath is a bogus document.
39. The DW.1 further deposed evidence that further allegations of
plaintiffs that they the defendants No.1 to 3 executed alleged General
Power of Attorney in favour of Padmavathi Madireddy etc.,
allegations are false. Even such documents are got up by plaintiffs,
same are concocted, created for false convenience of plaintiffs and
Padmavathi Madireddy. The northern portion to the property of Smt.
Padmavathi Madireddy, there remains only 1 acre 7 guntas and 6
guntas kharab retained as agricultural land, thereafter they sold the
same in favour of Y.N. Kondareddy and put him in actual physical
possession of the same, he continued to be owner in possession. After
alienation of portion i.e., 1 acre 20 guntas in favour of
Munivenkamma 30 guntas in favour of Padmavathi Madireddy and
88
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
the remaining portion of 1 acre 7 guntas in favour of Y.N.
Kondareddy, they have not retained any portion of land in the said
property, so also they never sold sites much less an inch of land in
aforesaid survey number at any point of time, the allegations of
plaintiffs is false. The defendants No.1 to 3 are uneducated, drown
trident community, the plaintiffs misusing their innocence in order to
harass humiliate and expose to hardship filed above false suit on
concocted stories and documents. The plaintiffs have no locus standi
or right to question the register sale deed dated 01/03/2004 and
rectification deed dated 29/03/2004 executed by them in favour of
Y.N. Kondareddy, the plaintiffs have no semblance of interest or
property rights in respect of Sy.No.81/2 ( 81/3).
40. The DW.1 further deposed evidence that plaintiffs have
concocted and fabricated some of make believable sale deeds referring
to as sites under katha Horamavu Village Panchayath, in fact they
have no property with the alleged katha and sites in their name and
possession in the Village limits of Horamavu Village. The plaintiffs to
89
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
knock off their survey number property had factiously set up alleged
katha numbers with Horamavu Village Panchayath and alleged sites.
That as already submitted their land in Sy.No.81/2 never converted for
any purposes and never changed its character as non agricultural land
at any time up till the alienation in favour of Y.N. Kondareddy and the
same on the date of sale to said persons remained as survey number
property assessed for land revenue and the RTC stands in their name
as on the date of sale to said persons remained as survey number
property assessed for land revenue and the RTC stands in their name
as agricultural land thereafter same assigned with new pode No.81/3,
the revenue entries the name of purchaser Y.N. Kondareddy. The
plaintiffs with ulterior motives included their names to the above suit,
the above suit is bad for mis-joinder of parties. The plaintiffs
themselves not sure or certain about the existence of alleged sites and
not furnished the boundaries for the same, the plaintiffs filed above
suit for imaginary un existed property, hence above suit not
sustainable in law liable to be dismissed with costs. That there is no
90
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
cause of action for the above suit, the one asserted is false concoction,
the plaintiffs never have any locus standi or property interest in
respect of Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu Village, hence suit liable to be
dismissed for mis joinder of causes of action. That the defendant No.5
Y.N. Konareddy filed OS.No.3483/2005 against him and others as
already submitted since they sold the property measuring 1 acre 7
guntas in old Sy.No.81/2, nor new Sy.No.81/3 of Horamavu Village,
they concedes and admits Y.N. Kondareddy is the absolute owner in
possession of said property. Hence they have no objection to decree
the said suit in OS.No.3483/2005 of Y.N. Konda Reddy. The DW.1
prays to dismiss the suit of plaintiff in OS.No.16322/2005 with
exemplary costs and decree the suit in OS.No.3483/2005 of Y.N.
Kondareddy.
41. The defendant No.5 in O.S.No.16322/2005 and plaintiff in
O.S.No.3483/2005 Y.N.Kondareddy S/o Narayanareddy filed his
affidavit in lieu of examination in chief as DW.2 and deposed
evidence that plaintiffs filed suit against him and others for the reliefs

92
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
action for the plaintiffs to file the suit and cause of action as stated in
para 18 of the plaint does not give legal right to the plaintiffs to file
the above suit. The plaintiffs misrepresented the facts and filed suit.
The suit is not properly valued and court fee paid is insufficient and
plaintiff has not valid the suit on the basis of market value of the suit
properties. The plaintiffs are making an attempt to lay claim for the

under the guise of having purchased the sites bearing the alleged
house list numbers under alleged registered sale deeds. There cannot
be the property bearing house list numbers in the agricultural land the
house list numbers in the case that the properties are gramatana
properties and as such the contentions of the plaintiffs that their
alleged sites are in the land in Sy.No.81/2 is false and incorrect by

defendant No.5 measuring to an extent of 1 acre 7 guntas with 6

Hobli, Bengluru South Taluk. The land in Sy.No.81/2 is an agricultural
land. It is not converted for residential purpose and as such the
question of forming the residential sites in the agricultural land does
not arise at all. Hence claim of plaintiff that alleged sites are situated
in portion of land in Sy.No.81/2 is false and incorrect and same is
contrary to their sale deeds. It has not been stated any where in the
sale deeds that the sites are located in the land in Sy.No.81/2. It is
clear that the alleged sites of the plaintiff are the gramatana sites and
the said sites are not at all located in the land in Sy.No.81/2 of
Horamavu Village.

the plaintiffs under their alleged sale deeds are nothing to do with the
land bearing Sy.No. 81/3. There is no existence of the properties as

case posted for arguments in part, the plaintiff No.6 of
OS.No.16322/2005 filed IA No.31 U/o 16 Rule 2 of CPC praying to
summon the certified copy of Power of Attorney dated 30/12/1991

in all the sale deed properties are different, boundaries are
different and purchasers are different." The PW.1 further deposed

are mentioned in the schedule. In any of the sale deeds it is not
mentioned and said sites are formed in Sy.No.81/2 near Sy.No.81/3
of Horamavu Village. It is true that, there is no mention in any of
the sale deed as how our vendor acquired the title over property.
It is true that it is not mentioned in any of the sale deeds that said
land has been converted for non-agricultural land and sites have

42, 65, 67, 73, 79, 81, 85 and 86 there is no reference that in
Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu Village, K.R. Puram Hobli, Bengaluru East
Taluk, the sites mentioned in the said sale deeds are formed. Further to
162
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
prove that sites were formed in Sy.No.81/2 of Horamavu Village, the
plaintiffs of OS.No.16322/2005 have not produced the conversion
order copy issued by the competent authority along with the approved
sanctioned layout plan.

ExD15 endorsement discloses that house list No.129/2 site No.12

Sy.No.81/3 of Horamavu Village are found in the records and such
documents are not in the name of Narayanappa, Nagaraj and Jayaram
in their office records. In ExD17 the defendant No.5 called
information regarding furnishing the copies of katha of site Nos.28,
29, 27, 26, 37, 21, 41, 38, 4, 5, 6, 7, 36, 42, 45, 43 and 23 in katha
Nos.122/2, 122/1, 135/4 of Horamavu Village and the revenue officer
163
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
furnished the information that Namuna No.9 & 10 of the said
properties are not in the name of Narayanappa, Nagaraj and Jayaram.
That further ExD18 is endorsement discloses that relating to the site
Nos.20, 29, 28, 27, 26, 37, 21, 41, 39, 4, 5, 6, 7, 36, 44, 45 and 42 of

1991 to 2005 the lay out plan, sanction plan for construction of house,
issued are called by Y.N. Konda Reddy revenue officer information
that there are no said documents of document plan, sanction plan
available in the records. The ExD22 is endorsement issued by the
Tahsildar, Bengaluru East Taluk mentioning that relating to
Sy.No.81/3 measuring 1A-7Gs of Horamavu Village there is no
conversion of land. Therefore from these exhibits discussed above it is
clear that land was Sy.No.81/2 (new No.81/3) measuring to an extent
of 1A-7Gs of Horamavu Village is not converted for non-agricultural
purpose and sites were not formed in the said land. Further the record
of rights for the year 2004-2005 & 2011-12 marked at ExD4 and
ExD9, ExD66 discloses that the land measuring 1A-7Gs in Sy.No.81/2
164
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
(new Sy.No.81/3) of Horamavu Village in the name of defendant No.5
Y.N. Konda Reddy is an agricultural land. Hence at the time of filing
the suit by the plaintiffs in the year 2005 the said land is agricultural
land. Further DW.2 marked ExD78 information furnished by the
Assistant Revenue Officer, BBMP, Horamavu Division to the
defendant No.5 Y.N. Konda Reddy as possession and enjoyment it the
defendant No.5 called information regarding furnishing information
about inclusion of Sy.No.81/2 new Sy.No.81/3 and Sy.No.81/1 new
Sy.No.81/4 of Horamavu Village to the BBMP limit and information
is furnished by Assistant Revenue Officer that as per the Notification
No.UDD-92-MNY-200 dated 16/01/2007 Horamavu Village
Sy.No.81/2 and new Sy.No.81/3 and Sy.No.81/1 new Sy.No.81/4 are
included in the BBMP Limits. Therefore in the year2007 the said land
Sy.No.81/2 new Sy.No.81/3 of Horamavu Village comes within the
jurisdiction of BBMP. Under the circumstances burden is on the
plaintiff to prove that till the suit schedule sites are in the limits of
Horamavu Grama Panchayath Limits. But to prove the said fact the
165
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
plaintiffs of OS.No.16322/2005 have not produced any documents and
further as per ExD78 the Sy.No.81/2 new Sy.No.81/3 of Horamavu
Village comes within the jurisdiction of BBMP. But the plaintiffs have
not produced katha certificate and katha extract of respective sites
purchased by them issued by BBMP Authority to prove their lawful
possession and enjoyment over the sites purchased by them. Therefore
plaintiffs of OS.No.16322/2005 have failed to prove their lawful
possession and enjoyment of the sites. That in the citation reported in
ILR 2005 Karnataka 884 relied by the defendant No.5 counsel in
OS.No.16322/2005 and plaintiff counsel in OS.No.34832005 counsel
it is held that "Unless the Court is satisfied with regard to material
details in the light of the material evidence with regard to the
identification of the property, no declaration and injunction can
be granted." Further in the another citation reported in ILR 2007
Karnataka 339 relied by the defendant No.5 counsel counsel in
OS.No.16322/2005 and plaintiff counsel in OS.No.34832005 counsel
it is held that "In a suit for declaration of ownership and
166
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
permanent injunction, the plaintiff has to prove his title to the
property and also his possession over the property on the date of
the suit-Further held, when the plaintiff is not in possession of the
property on the date of suit, relief of permanent injunction is not
an appropriate consequential relief-The appropriate relief
consequential to declaration of ownership would be recovery of
possession of the property -When the plaintiff is out of possession
of the property and does not seek relief for possession, a mere suit
for declaration is not maintainable-Court below was justified in
dismissing the suit as not maintainable-Appeals are dismissed".
The both citation discussed above applies to the present case in hand,
as in OS.No.16322/2005 the plaintiffs are failed to prove that they are
lawful owners in possession of their respective sites as mentioned in
the plaint. On the contrary the defendant No.5 in OS.No.16322/2005
and plaintiff in OS.No.3483/2005 proved that he is purchased 1 Acre
13 Guntas in Sy.No.81/2 (new Sy.No.81/3) of Hormvu village and
plaintiffs of OS.No.16322/2005 are illegally trespassed in his land
167
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
constructed house. Hence the plaintiffs of OS.No.16322/2005 are not
entitle for the reliefs claimed by them in said suit and plaintiffs of
OS.No.16322/2005 failed to prove Issues No.1 to 4. On the contrary
plaintiff of OS.No.3483/2005 proved that he is the absolute owner in
possession of the suit schedule 'A' property, hence the plaintiff of
OS.No.3483/2005 is entitle for the vacant possession of the suit
schedule 'B' properties from the respective defendants and also entitle
for the relief of declaration and possession and permanent injunction
as prayed. The citations referred by plaintiffs of OS.No.16322/2005
and defendants No.25 and 26 of OS.No.3483/2005 are not applicable
to the stand taken by them. The plaintiffs of OS.No.3483/2005 proved
Issues No1 to 5. Hence I answer Issue Nos.1 to 4 in
OS.N.16322/2005 in Negative and I answer Issues No.1 to 5 in
OS.No.3483/2005 in Affirmative.
81. Addl. Issue No.1 :
168
O.S.No.16322/2005
Common Judgment C/w O.S.No. 3483/2005
The defendants No.25 & 26 in OS.No.3486/2005 have filed
common written statement, wherein they have taken contention that
the plaintiff has not valued the suit on the market value of the schedule
property and Court Fee paid is in sufficient and prays to reject the
plaint. The defendant No.25 is examined as DW.3 as discussed above.
But in the entire examination in chief of DW.3, he has not deposed
regarding the Court Fee paid by the plaintiff is insufficient and also
not narrated about the market value of the schedule property and also
not mentioned how much Court Fee is insufficient. The plaintiff of
OS.No.3483/2005 filed suit for Declaration and Mandatory Injunction
and Possession of 'B' schedule property and properly paid the Court
Fee. The defendants No.25 & 26 of OS.No.3483/2005 have failed to
prove additional Issue. Hence I answer Additional Issue in
OS.No.3483/2005 in Negative.

O.S.No.16322/2005

In view of above discussion I proceed to pass following:
