            JUDGMENT ON PRELIMINARY ISSUE

        The Plaintiff has got filed this suit for a judgment

and decree of permanent injunction restraining the

Defendants from interference of suit schedule premises

and to evict the Plaintiff from the schedule premises.



2)      In nutshell Plaintiff's case is that, he is the tenant

under    the    Defendants running      a     garage   by   name

'M/s.A.F.Auto     Garage'   from    15.12.1986     under     rent

agreement and paid advance of Rs.15,000/- and monthly

rent was Rs.400/-. Every year Plaintiff is paying enhanced

rent at 5% of the existing rent and as of now Rs.800/- is

the rent per month. Plaintiff claims that Defendants have

taken more than Rs.1,00,000/- from him, in spite of that

they are trying to throw him out illegally from the suit

schedule property without following due process of law,

hence, this suit for the aforesaid reliefs.



3)      On service of notice, the Defendants marked

appearance through their counsel and filed their written
                             4                   OS.4299/2015


statement contending that the Plaintiff is not in

possession and occupation of the schedule premises as

on the date of the suit. The possession has already been

recovered under due process of law. Earlier, the

Defendants had filed a suit for ejectment, which came

to be decreed on 23.06.2014, against which, CRP

No.359/2014 was filed and disposed of on 17.03.2015

granting 90 days time to vacate and deliver vacant

possession of the suit schedule premises, since the

Plaintiff failed to comply with the said order, the

Defendants filed Execution Case No.683/2015, wherein,

Rs.50,000/- was refunded to the Plaintiff by way of two

Demand Drafts and Plaintiff undertook to vacate the

premises by 12.05.2015 by paying upto date electricity

bill. Plaintiff has already delivered vacant possession of

the   suit    schedule    premises     on    12.05.2015.

Subsequently,    Defendants     have    demolished    the

structure and fenced it. Hence, the Defendants contend

that in view of the decree passed in the earlier
                              5                   OS.4299/2015


proceedings and possession delivered in execution

petition, this case does not survive for consideration and

prayed for dismissal of suit with exemplary costs.



4)    On the above pleadings of the parties, the

following Issues have been framed by this court on

01.10.2015:-

      (1)    Whether the Plaintiff proves that as
             on the date of the suit the Plaintiff
             is in actual, lawful possession of
             the suit schedule property?

      (2) Whether the Plaintiff proves that the
          Defendants are interfering with his
          actual, peaceful, lawful possession
          of the suit schedule property?

      (3) Whether the Plaintiff is entitled for
          the reliefs sought for?

      (4) What Order or Decree?



      The following preliminary Issue has been framed

on 01.04.2017:

      "     Whether this suit is maintainable in
            the present form in view of order by
            the    Hon'ble   High    Court    in
                              6                   OS.4299/2015


          CRP.No.359,     360/14   and   EP.683,
          684/15?"



5)    Heard on preliminary Issue. Perused the records.



6)    My finding on the preliminary Issue is in the

negative for the following :


                     REASONS


7)    Preliminary Issue :        Upon going through the

materials available on record, it is seen that the Plaintiff

has come up with this suit for permanent injunction

restraining the Defendants from interfering with the suit

schedule property, to evict the Plaintiff from the suit

schedule property, etc.



       The Plaintiff's contention is that, he is running a

garage by name 'M/s.A.F.Auto Garage' from 15.12.1986

as    tenant under the Defendants under a rent

agreement, by paying advance of Rs.15,000/- and
                            7                   OS.4299/2015


monthly rent was Rs.400/-at the initial stage and as of

now, Rs.800/- is the monthly rent. Plaintiff claims that

Defendants have taken more than Rs.1,00,000/- from

him, in spite of that they are trying to throw him out

illegally from the suit schedule property without

following the due process of law etc.


      On the other hand, the Defendants do admit the

relationship of themselves and Plaintiff as landlord and

tenant.   The Defendants specific contention is that,

Plaintiff is not in possession and occupation of the

schedule premises as on the date of the suit. The

possession has already been recovered under due

process of law. Earlier, the Defendants had filed a suit

for   ejectment,   which   came   to    be   decreed   on

23.06.2014, against which, CRP No.359/2014 was filed

and disposed of on 17.03.2015.          Added to that,

Defendants have filed Execution Case No.683/2015,

wherein, Rs.50,000/- was refunded to the Plaintiff by

way of two Demand Drafts and Plaintiff undertook to
                                  8                       OS.4299/2015


vacate the premises by 12.05.2015 by paying upto date

electricity bill.   Plaintiff herein has already delivered

possession     of   the   suit       premises    on   12.05.2015.

Subsequently, the Defendants have demolished the

structure and fenced it. Hence, Defendants contended

that in view of the decree passed in the earlier

proceedings and possession delivered in the execution

petition, this case does not survive for consideration.



8)     Upon going through the materials available on

record and the documents placed on record by the

Defendants, it is seen that much water has flown under

the bridge. There are series of litigations between the

parties in respect of the same subject matter between

the same parties for the same relief.           It is significant to

note that the Plaintiff herein has filed two suits in

SC.No.800/2012 and 801/2012 before the Small Causes

Court, SCCH.No.5, wherein, the said cases were fought

to the tooth and nail between the parties and the trial

court disposed of both the suits on 23rd June, 2014,
                             9                    OS.4299/2015


wherein, the trial court has decreed the claim of the

Plaintiffs and directed the Defendants to handover the

vacant possession of the suit schedule property within

three months from the date of the order. Those two

suits were filed by the Defendants herein for ejectment

of the Defendant i.e. Plaintiff herein from the suit

schedule property and for future rent by way of

damages.     However, the Plaintiff herein who is

Defendant there has preferred CRP before the Hon'ble

High Court in CRP. No.359/2014 and 360/2014,

aggrieved by the orders passed by the trial court in

SC.No.800/2012 and 801/2012 before the Small Causes

Court, SCCH.No.5.    The matter was contested before

the Hon'ble high court., wherein, his Lordship of the

Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka has made the following

observation in CRP No.359/2014 and 360/2014:

            " Revision Petitions are hereby disposed
            of by affirming the judgment and
            decree passed by the Trial Court.
            However, time granted by the Trial
            Court is enlarged/extended by granting
            time till 17.3.2015 to the revision
                                10                     OS.4299/2015


               petitioner to quit, vacate and handover
               vacant possession of the suit schedule
               premises to respondent - landlord.

               5. In view of revisions petitions having
               been disposed of on main, question of
               considering pending applications does
               not arise and hence, IA.1/2014 and
               IA.2/2014 stands rejected."



9)     It is seen that both the parties have filed a joint

memo     before     the     Hon'ble   High    Court    in   CRP

No.359/2014 and 360/2014. The legal notice issued by

one Mr.Gouse Pasha, counsel representing the Plaintiff

herein indicates that in pursuance of the decree passed

in CRP No.359/2014 and 360/2014, the Plaintiff herein

was willing to vacate the premises by receiving

Rs.50,000/-.     However, the endorsement on the legal

notice indicates that for some reason he is issuing the

notice by delaying the same etc. However, the Plaintiff

approaches       the      executing   court    in     Execution

No.683/2015 and 684/2015 in pursuance of the decree

passed in SC.No.800/2012 and 801/2012 and in CRP
                             11                      OS.4299/2015


No.359/2014 and 360/2014 of the Hon'ble High Court.

The order sheet dated 02.05.2015 placed on record in

respect of these two litigations indicates that :

          " Both parties argued as per order of
            Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka .

             DHr handed over DD No.114786 dated
             16.3.2015 to JDr drawn on Bank of
             Baroda for Rs.25,000/- and another DD
             No.425383 dated 16.3.2015 of SBI,
             Bengaluru for Rs.25,000/- to JDr.

             JDr agreed as per order to vacate
             premises by 12.5.2015. DHr has co-
             operated to give extra time. Hence,
             application filed by JDr is disposed as
             agreed.

             On failure to handover vacant
             possession order of abeyance comes to
             an end and office to comply order of this
             court dated 20.4.2015 returnable by
             Hgdt: 06.6.15.

             JDr agrees to handover paid electricity
             bill as on today."



10)   The Decree Holder also appears to have filed a

Memo dated 06.06.2015 reporting delivery of possession

to him.   It is also seen that the Plaintiff herein has

issued a legal notice to Defendant No.3 and directed
                             12                   OS.4299/2015


him to execute the registered sale deed in respect of the

very same subject matter, which was replied by the

Defendants herein denying the said transactions. Apart

from that, the very same Plaintiff has filed a suit in

O.S.No.7884/2016 before the City Civil Court, Bengaluru

for re-delivery of possession of the very same schedule

premises. The said suit was filed on 15th February, 2016.

Even though the learned counsel appearing for the

Plaintiff vehemently argued that he has got very good

case on merits and he is able to establish it by adducing

evidence and has every possibility of succeeding etc.,

but as rightly argued by the learned senior counsel Sri.

R.B.Sadashivappa, appearing for the Defendants, it is

seen that this is a height of misusing the justice

dispensation    system.    The    materials   on    record

imminently establish the fact that the Plaintiff is trying

to make mockery of the justice dispensation system. It

is pertinent to note that in spite of Plaintiff being party

to all the previous proceedings, absolutely nothing has
                             13                   OS.4299/2015


been whispered in the plaint regarding previous

litigations. In spite of giving an undertaking before the

Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka regarding delivery of

possession and inspite of intimating the Defendants

through his counsel offering delivery of possession, still

Plaintiff claim that he is in possession and enjoyment of

the suit schedule premises as on the date of the suit.

But the documents on record obviously speak otherwise.

The materials on record clearly indicate that the Plaintiff

is an unscrupulous man having disrespect to the orders

of the court. In spite of he himself undertaking before

the highest court of the State, he has approached the

court with a relief of injunction suppressing all true and

material facts. Added to that, by filing OS.No.7884/2016

Plaintiff makes it very clear that he is not in possession

of the suit schedule premises. Apart from that, in this

suit also, Plaintiff has filed as many as 07 interim

applications for injunction and amendment, wherein, he

himself claim that he is not in possession of the suit
                              14                   OS.4299/2015


premises. The conduct of the Plaintiff clearly indicates

that he is making mockery of the orders of the Hon'ble

High Court of Karnataka. Added to that, there is one

more litigation in respect of the same subject matter

claiming re-delivery of possession already instituted by

the Plaintiff. Even if the Plaintiff has got any truth in his

claim, he has got every liberty to establish it in

O.S.No.7884/2016 and work out his remedies. By filing

this kind of frivolous litigations Plaintiff has caused great

inconvenience to the opposite party as well as to the

court.



11)      Under the facts and circumstances of the case, I

am of the opinion that in view of the various litigations

fought and concluded before the competent court of

law, in Small Causes Court as well as before the Hon'ble

High Court of Karnataka coupled with acceptance of the

executing court regarding delivery of possession as on

02.05.2015, I am of the opinion that this suit is being
                                  15                   OS.4299/2015


      filed on 12.05.2015 subsequent to acceptance by the

      competent court regarding the dispossession of the

      Plaintiff from the suit schedule property. Such being the

      case, a simple suit for bare injunction, that too,

      suppressing all the material facts does not survive for

      consideration at all and hence, I answer the preliminary

      Issue accordingly and proceed to pass the following :


                            ORDER

The suit of the Plaintiff is hereby dismissed with costs.
