3. The plaintiff No.1 is the plot owners Association and plaintiff Nos.2 to 4 are the owners of the plots. Defendant No.1 is the Housing Development Company and defendant Nos.2 to 13 are the purchasers of plots purchased through defendant No.1. The plaintiff No.1 has filed suit for declaration declaring the various sale deeds executed by the defendant No.1 on behalf of the defendant Nos.2 to 5 on various dates through various sale deeds as made in the prayer. Also sought for direction to the jurisdictional District Registrar having jurisdiction over the Revenue District in which the schedule 'B' property is located to register the decree in the suit upon the same being presented for registration by any of the plaintiffs and for other reliefs.
4. It is the case of plaintiffs in brief that the plaintiff No.1 is the Association of the site owners of Silver Springs Layout and plaintiff Nos.2 to 4 are the owners of the sites. Defendant No.1 is the partnership firm which has developed the layout. The defendant No.1 is the

owner of the larger extent of the converted land bearing Sy.Nos.26, 32, 33, 34 and portion of Sy.No.27 and portion of Sy.No.31, totally measuring 18 acres 22 guntas situated at Munnekollala Village, Varthur Hobli, Bengaluru South Taluk. In the year 1997 the Karnataka Yuva Society an Association comprised of 12 persons approached the defendant No.1 for forming a layout in the land owned by the defendant No.1 and has agreed to form a layout in the land owned by him. For the purpose of development of land, the defendant No.1 engaged the service of developer by name 'M/s.Silver Springs'. The defendant No.1 - Karnataka Yuva Society (for short 'the Society') and M/s. Silver Springs have entered into tripartite agreement dated 26.07.1997. As per the said agreement open spaces left in the suit 'A' schedule property and the roads formed in the suit 'A' schedule property vests exclusively with the Society. As per the said tripartite agreement a layout known as 'Silver Springs Layout' was formed in the suit 'A' schedule property comprising of residential sites,

common areas, internal roads, compound wall, board wall open space, etc.,
5. The defendant No.1 conveyed the sites formed in the suit 'A' schedule property in favour of Society and its members. But it is the case of the defendants that suit 'B' schedule property is not open space left for the common usage of the purchasers of sites. It is the case of defendant No.1 that the property to an extent of 10 acres 2 guntas was the part of tripartite agreement and defendant No.1 was in possession of the remaining area to the extent of 8 acres 20 guntas. But as per plaintiffs' case, the open space was handed over by the said Society to the plaintiff No.1, but it is the rival contention of the defendant No.1 that the said open space was not handed over to the Society. It is the case of plaintiffs that in the said open space of 100x100 feet the defendant No.1 has formed sites illegally and sold to defendant Nos.2 to 13. Therefore, plaintiffs filed the suit for declaration. It is the case of defendants that said open space was not handed

over to the Society and in turn the Society has not handed over to the plaintiffs. It is the contention of defendants that suit 'B' schedule property is nothing but open space surrounding the site No.2. Therefore, the appellants/defendants pray to reject the applications.
6. Having heard the arguments from both the learned counsel appearing for the parties and upon perusal of the material placed on record, the following points would arise for my consideration:
i. Whether, under the facts and
circumstances of the case, the
defendants make out prima facie case on the basis of materials produced before the Trial Court so as to vacate interim order of temporary injunction?
ii. Whether, under the facts and circumstances of the case, the defendants make out case of balance of convenience on the basis of the materials produced before the Trial

Court so as to vacate order of
temporary injunction?
iii. Whether, under the facts and
circumstances of the case, if an order of temporary injunction is not granted, then defendants would suffer any irreparable loss or injury?
7. Learned counsel for the appellants/defendants submitted that the Society is not made as party in the suit and the open space of suit 'B' schedule property was not handed over to the Society, hence there is no question of handing over possession by the Society to the plaintiffs' Association. Defendant No.1 is owner of suit 'B' schedule property, but not plaintiff No.1; therefore, defendant No.1 has rightly formed plots and sold them to the other defendants. This is not correctly appreciated by the Trial Court while considering the materials placed before it. Hence, questioned the order.

8. On the other hand, learned counsel for the respondents/plaintiffs justified the order passed by the Trial Court stating that there is a tripartite Agreement handing over the common areas and open space surrounding the site of defendant No.2, which has handed over to the Society and in turn, it has been handed over possession to the plaintiff no.1. The materials placed before the Trial Court reveals that there is tripartite agreement dated 26.07.1997 wherein the open space is left in suit 'A' schedule property and roads formed in suit 'A' schedule property shall vest exclusively with the Society. Defendant No.1 is not denying the execution of tripartite agreement. As per paragraph Nos.V(a) and V(b) of the tripartite agreement, the rights of use of roads, open areas within suit 'B' schedule property are exclusively vested with the Society. In this regard, a letter dated 09.07.2015 issued by the Society to defendant No.1 is produced.

9. It is argued by the learned counsel for the appellants/defendants that in the said letter, it is not forthcoming as to which open space in the said document is specifically stated; therefore, it is argued by the learned counsel for the appellants/defendants that such open space may be part and parcel of the layout to the extent of 10 acre 02 guntas, but not the entire extent of 18 acre 22 guntas. However, in the plan produced by the plaintiffs there is open space of 100 x 100 ft. is left in the middle of the layout. Suit 'B' schedule property is the only space that is surrounded by site No.D-2. The layout plan produced by the plaintiffs reveals the existence of open space of 100 x 100 ft., which is earmarked in the centre of the layout. Defendant No.1 is not disputing the permission of Silver Spring Layout for the benefit of the Society and the sites formed by defendant No.1 for the benefit of members of the Society were sold to various members. Defendant No.1 is not disputing the open space measuring 100 x 100 ft. It is the grievance of the

plaintiffs as pleaded in the plaint that when this open space is the common area usable for the members of the plaintiff No.1 - Association and as per the layout plan, the said open space is left for the benefit of members of plaintiff No.1 who are purchasers of the sites, then defendant No.1 has made an attempt to form sites in the said open space measuring 100 x 100 ft. and alienated them to defendant Nos.2 to 13, which is illegal.
10. Admittedly, the layout plain is not approved by any competent authority, but the said layout plan reveals that there is an open space measuring 100 x 100 ft. in the middle of the layout. When this being the admitted fact that defendant No.1 himself formed the layout, therefore for public utility services such open space is left out and as per the layout plan it is the only open space left in the layout plan. Defendant No.1 had executed sale deed to the Society dated 11.07.1997.

11. Upon considering the boundaries in the sale deed as per the Schedule shown therein, on all four sites there is open common space and road with the site numbers mentioned on all four sites. Therefore, it prima facie shows that this open space area was handed over to plaintiff No.1 by the Society. When this being the fact revealed, prima facie defendant Nos.2 to 13 are claiming to be purchasers of the sites in the said open space, which was formed by defendant No.1. Certainly this would lead to deprivation of common space which is earmarked for the benefit of members of the Society, who are the purchasers of the sites. Therefore, if the defendants are not injuncted then it may lead to occupation of open space leaving no space of common utility for the benefit of members of the plaintiff No.1 - Association. Therefore, the Trial Court is correct in granting an order of temporary injunction and the Trial Court has not made any perversity while passing the order. Hence, I answer point Nos.(i) to

(iii) in the Negative. Hence, the appeal is liable to be dismissed.
12. Accordingly, the appeals are dismissed. However, whatever observations are made above are only for the purpose of considering the appeal, which is filed under Order XLIII Rule 1(r) of CPC. Therefore, the Trial Court shall not be influenced by those observations and the suit is to be tried and dispose of in accordance with law after appreciating the evidence on record independently.
