Project is Vaswani Exquisite. The Brochure of the project
is enclosed with the Plaint. Till date the Plaintiff has spent
about Rs. 44.57 Crores towards purchase of the land,
obtain various permissions, sanctions, clearances etc.,
and also towards security, compound wall, leveling,
excavation etc. The Schedule Property has been enclosed
by compound comprising' of sheet metal barricades.
Portions of the compound are attempted to be dislodged
by the Defendants from time to time. The Plaintiff has
lodged Police Complaint with the SHO, Mahadevapura on
26.3.2013 and 1.4.2013. However since the Defendants
are powerful and influential persons the Police have not
registered any case and instead they are stating that the
dispute is civil in nature. The photograph produced along
with the plaint would show that the metal sheet
barricade by way of compound is enclosing the Schedule
Property. The Defendants do not have any manner of
right, title or interest in the Schedule Property which has
been purchased by the Plaintiff and/or placed for Joint
Development by the Land Owner with them. The 1st
Defendant K.C.Rajaram has purported to sell lands which
22
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
are in excess of what was owned by him to Defendant.
There is no such land in existence with the boundaries as
claimed by the Defendants. The Plaintiff has spent more
than Rs. 44 crores towards purchase of the Schedule
Property and developmental costs. The repeated acts of
interference by the Defendants is seriously affecting the
property right of the Plaintiff. Most recently on
16.11.2014 certain persons proclaiming themselves to be
agents of the Defendants had come to the Schedule
Property and attempted to remove sheet and barricades.
The Workers / Contractors of the Plaintiff rushed to the
spot and objected to the highhanded actions of these
persons. Because of the Galata these persons left the
spot holding out threats of renewed interference with
larger force of people in a day or two. These
interferences by the Defendants since April, 2013 is
becoming more frequent. Now that the Plan has been
sanctioned by the BBMP, the Plaintiff is making all efforts
to commence construction. The lands have been leveled
and excavation work is to commence and the Plaintiff is
making arrangement to construct sales office and mock-
23
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
up flat on a portion of the land. Infact temporary site
cabin is already there on the property. Unless the
schedule property is properly fenced/barricaded there
will be acts of theft, vandalism of the Plaintiff's property
and materials. Hence it has become necessary for the
Plaintiff to seek the relief of permanent injunction
restraining the Defendants, their agents or anyone
claiming through them from dismantling or removing the
metal sheet barricade/ compound enclosing the Schedule
Property and / or from interfering in any manner with the
Plaintiffs construction work and/ or possession on the
Schedule Property. Hence this Suit.

the Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka, Bengaluru. The
Official Liquidator took charge the assets of the company

guntas of land which was classified as kharab. In the

only 4 acre 16 guntas of land was actually converted.
Thus, the husband of the 2nd defendant could not have
obtained title over 4 acres 20 guntas of land. The entire
extent of land measuring 14 guntas, which was classified
as "kharab" was used for formation of Whitefield to
Hosakote road, which passes through Sy. No. 132/1 from
the eastern side to the western side. Subsequently the
said road was widened and for widening purpose an
extent of 5 guntas, was utilized in Sy.No.132/1. Thus, the

33
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016

mentioned the extent of land in each survey number, in
the conversion certificate the Thasildar Bangalore South
taluk has totally mentioned 4 acre 30 guntas out of
survey number 132/1, 132/2, 132/3 and 132/4. As
34
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
already stated above as on the date of conversion order
Mr.K.C.Rajarama reddy was not the owner of southern
edge 28 guntas land in the land bearing Sy.No.132/4, the
said land was not a subject matter of the conversion
order. Sri. H. Thippareddy, i.e, the husband of the 2nd
defendant has sold eastern portion measuring 2 acres 10
guntas land bearing Sy.No.132/1, 132/2, 132/3 and 132/4
in favor of one D. Anjaneyalu on 25-01-2007 under a
registered sale deed. Sri.D.Anjaneyalu has passed away
prior to filing of this suit and the defendants No.6 to 16
are the legal representatives of said D.Anjaneyalu. The
defendant No.1(referred as Plaintiff) is claiming to be
purchaser of 1 acre 10 guntas of land in the land bearing
Sy.No.132/1 and 132/2. The defendant No.1(referred as
Plaintiff) has also entered into a joint development
agreement with defendant No.2 to 16 for construction of
multi-storied apartment. While purchasing the land
bearing Sy.No.132/1 and other land from the official
liquidator, the husband of the 2nd defendant had not
verified the actual exact land available in the land
bearing sy.No.132/1 after formation of road. The land
35
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
measuring 19 guntas of land was utilized for formation
and widening of road. The actual land available was only
2 acre 06 guntas and the husband of the 2nd defendant
without verifying the same has purchased 2 acres 25
guntas in the land bearing Sy.No.132/1. Thus, there is a
shortage of land to an extent of 19 guntas in the land
purchased by the husband of the 2nd defendant. The
husband of the 2nd defendant with an intention to make
up for his lost land tried to usurp some land belonging to
the plaintiff.
30. It was then noticed by the plaintiff(referred as
defendant) that there was a mistake in the sale deed
dated 10.09.2007 while mentioning the boundaries to
the 'A' schedule property. The "A" schedule property
boundary was described as East by: Private land bearing
Sy.NO.131 and & Tank bund, West by: Private land and
Sy.No.133, North by : Portion of Sy.No.132/4, South by
Portion land bearing Sy.No.132/4 and private land, Hence
a deed of rectification was executed on 21.3.2016 and
the vendor of the plaintiff has executed the Deed
36
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
rectifying the schedule and making correction to the
boundaries to 'A' schedule property as stated above.
Similar mistake had also been found in the 2nd sale deed
dated 10.09.2007, while mentioning the boundaries to
the 'B' schedule property, The "B" schedule property
boundary was described as private land bearing
Sy.No.131 and & tank bund, West by: Private land and
Sy.No.132/4, North by : Portion of Sy.No.132/4, South by
Portion land bearing Sy.No.131 and tank bund. Hence, a
deed of rectification was executed on 23-03-2016 and
the vendor of the plaintiff has executed the Deed
rectifying the schedule and making correction to the
boundaries to 'B' schedule property as stated above.
31. The 2nd Defendant husband made repeated
attempts to usurp the property belonging to the plaintiff.
Finally the plaintiff has filed a suit against the husband of
the 2nd defendant before this Hon'ble court in
O.S.No.7161/2011 for the relief of permanent injunction.
During the pendency of the above suit the husband of
the 2nd defendant died, the suit filed by the plaintiff
37
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
against 2nd defendant husband is bare injunction; the
cause of action does not survive on the LRs of the
deceased defendant.

Plaintiff) herein on the basis of the joint development
agreement executed by the defendant No.2 to 16 has
tried to encroach upon some land belonging to the
plaintiff company. The plaintiff has resisted illegal
activities of the 1st defendant(referred as Plaintiff). The
1st defendant(referred as Plaintiff) had instigated
Thasildar and Police authorities to recover the possession

the land as per the survey records and he has not fixed
any boundaries to the survey No.132/1 to 132/4. The

basis of title deeds of the parties. The report of the court
commissioner do not speaks about the exact land used
for formation of road in Sy.NO.132/1 and available land in
land bearing Sy.No.132/1. The report of the commissioner
is not helpful to the parties to resolve the disputes
among them. The 1st defendant(referred as Plaintiff)

agreement with the defendant No. 2 to 16 has issued a
public notice in daily newspaper calling upon the general
public for objection if any. After noticing the same the
plaintiff(referred as defendant) has filed a detailed

within the land bearing Sy.No.132/1. On the northern side
of the road, there is a land existing in the land bearing

guntas of cultivable land was utilized. After utilizing the
land for formation of road, the land available in the land
bearing Sy.No.132/1 is only 02 acres 06 guntas. The
defendants knowing fully about the same, are falsely
claiming 02 acres 25 guntas in the land bearing
Sy.No.132/1.
34. The defendants(referred as Plaintiff) taking
advantage of the non- granting of exparte injunction
order in the present suit, have illegally entered the
portion of the schedule properties and excavated the
mud in the entire 'B' schedule property to the depth of
20 feet and 9 1⁄2 guntas of land in the 'A' schedule
property day-by-day during the pendency of the suit,
44
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
totally the defendants(referred as Plaintiff) have
encroached 19 1⁄2 guntas of land in the schedule 'A' and
'B' properties. The said 19 1⁄2 guntas of land in the land
bearing Sy.No.132/4 New Sy.No.132/4A and Sy.No.132/4B
is morefully described in the schedule as the 'Schedule
'C' Property'. The defendants(referred as Plaintiff) after
the stay order granted in MFA No.4903/2017, have
illegally started to construct a multi-storied apartment
building in the 'C' schedule property. The 'C' schedule
property is the absolute property of the plaintiff(referred
as defendant). The defendants(referred as Plaintiff) do
not have any right, title or interest in the 'C' schedule
property or 'A' and 'B' schedule properties. The
defendants have forcibly entered the 'A' and 'B' schedule
properties and taken possession of the 'C' schedule
property. The defendants(referred as Plaintiff) have
dispossessed the plaintiff from the 'C' schedule property
during the pendency of the present suit. Hence the
plaintiff having no other alternative is seeking the relief
of possession directing the defendants to hand over the
vacant possession of the 'C' schedule property to the
45
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
plaintiff(referred as defendant), failing which this Court
may be pleased to hand over the possession of the 'C'
schedule property through court media. The
defendants(referred as Plaintiff) herein have no manner
of right, title and interest or possession over the
schedule 'A' and 'B' properties belonging to the
plaintiff(referred as defendant). The defendants(referred
as Plaintiff) taking undue advantage of the interim order
passed in O.S.No.9024/2014, and interim order passed in
W.P.No.8366-8370/2016 are denying the
plaintiff's(referred as defendant) title over the schedule
'A' and 'B' properties. The defendant No.1(referred as
Plaintiff) knowing fully well that schedule 'A' and 'B'
property belongs to the plaintiff(referred as defendant),
taking advantage of the above orders, has come near to
the schedule property on 31.03.2016 along with security
guards, coolies and goonda elements and has tried to
put-up compound wall encroaching the schedule 'A' and
'B' properties. The plaintiff with the timely help of friends
and well-wishers has resisted the illegal activities of the
defendant(referred as Plaintiff). The defendant
46
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
No.1(referred as Plaintiff) went away from the schedule
'A' and 'B' properties proclaiming that they will come
again with huge supporters and put-up compound wall
and construction in the properties belong to the
plaintiff(referred as defendant). The only intention of the
Defendants(referred as Plaintiff) in doing so is to deprive
the right of the Plaintiff(referred as defendant) over the
schedule property and hence the plaintiff(referred as
defendant) is filed the present suit for the relief of
Declaration, declaring that the plaintiff is the absolute
owner and in possession and enjoyment of the schedule
'A' and 'B' properties and also consequential relief of
permanent injunction restraining the defendants from
interfering with the peaceful possession and enjoyment
of the plaintiff over the schedule 'A' and 'B' properties
and for recovery of schedule "C" property Hence, this
suit.
35. Since I have already narrated the plaint averments
made in both suits, as they in their respective written
statements taken similar contentions, hence I have not
47
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
reproduced the same again in order to avoid repetition of
their pleadings.
36. The Written Statement filed by Defendant No.1
Shri.K.C.Rajaram in O.S.No.9024/2014 is breifly stated as
follows:-
37. There is no cause of action pleaded as against this
defendant. This defendant has not gone near the
properties in question since the date of sale by this
defendant to 2nd defendant due to his ill health. Just a
casual reference as 'defendants' would not give raise to
any cause of action as against this defendant. Hence, the
suit for permanent injunction against this defendant is
not maintainable and is liable to be dismissed. This
defendant does not admit the title, possession and
identity of the schedule property. Hence mere suit for
injunction is not maintainable and is liable to be
dismissed. It is admitted that the total extent of Sy No.
132/1, 132/2, 132/3 and 132/4 was 5 Acres 18 Guntas
including 14 guntas of Karab. It is not admitted that
entire 14 Guntas of Karab was utilized for formation and
extension/widening of White Field Road. It is not admitted
48
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
that remaining extent was 5 Acre 04 Guntas. On the day
Sri.H. Thippa Reddy purchased property from the Official
Liquidator, in Sy.No.132/1, a small width road was
passing. Now it is broadened. Consequently, the extent
available to SriH. Thippa Reddy in Sy.No. 132/1 is less.
The plaintiff wants to show that the extent available to it
is the same, notwithstanding the road having been
widened and by usurping the property of others and
consequently has filed this suit. Sri.H.Thippa Reddy and
Sri.D.Anjeenayalu being owners of the property
described in the Schedule to the plaint to the extent
mentioned is disputed and such extent does not exist
and as they were not the owners of the extent
mentioned, plaintiff who claims under them is not
entitled to claim any rights with respect to the extent
stated. Except in the property of 2nd defendant, in no
other part of Sy.No. 132/1,132/2, 132/3 and 132/4 any
building exists. A suit for injunction with respect to
vacant land where title and identity of property is denied
is not maintainable. This defendant got 5 acre 18 Guntas
under various documents and not 5Acres 04 Guntas as
49
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
mentioned in para-5 of the Plaint. 14 guntas of Kharab
was there which also was included in the property of this
defendant. The conversion certificate clearly states that
4 acre 30 guntas is converted which includes 14 guntas
of Kharab. In addition to that 28 guntas of agricultural
land existed in Sy.No. 132/4 acquired by the 1st
defendant under sale deed dated 24/11/1979. This
purchase is subsequent to conversion order dated
12/4/1979. It is true that 4 Acres 30 Guntas was
converted but it is not out of 5 Acre 04 Guntas, it was out
of 5 Acres 18 Guntas. The remaining extent of land 04
Guntas, it was out of 5 Acres 18 Guntas. The remaining
extent of land was not 14 guntas but it was 28 guntas in
Sy No.132/4 which was purchased as per Sale deed of
24/11/1979. This 28 guntas was not converted and was
agricultural land. It is true that the first defendant did not
retain any land in 4 Acres 30 Guntas. This defendant is
not aware whether Sri.H.Thippa Reddy's name was
entered into Revenue Records. It is not known and hence
not admitted that there was any typographical error in
the Sale deed executed by the Official Liquidator in
50
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
favour of Sri.H.Thippa Reddy. This defendant is not aware
of typographical error in the Sale deed executed by the
Official Liquidator and the Rectification deed. This
defendant is not aware of Sale by Sri.H.Thippa Reddy to
Sri.D.Anjaneyalu and other statement regarding Revenue
records being made in the name of the wife and sons of
Sri.D.Anjaneyalu. This defendant is not aware of the Sale
of Western portion of the land to the plaintiff by
Sri.H.Thippa Reddy and katha being obtained by the
plaintiff. It is not admitted that Sri.H.Thippa Reddy
retained 1 Acre in the western portion. The correctness of
the sale deed executed by Sri.H. Thippa Reddy as well as
the statement made in para-11 are not admitted. It is not
admitted that plaintiff is in possession of 3 Acres 10
Guntas out of 4 Acres 20 Guntas referred to as Schedule
Property. As Schedule Property does not exists, claim of
possession can never be correct. It is true that the first
defendant has sold 28 Guntas in Sy No.132/4 to the
second defendant. This is the property which he got
under Sale deed of 24/11/1979. Before the said sale deed
there was an agreement of sale dated 02/04/1994 by the
51
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
1s defendant to M/s Tyche India Put, Ltd., it is true that
Tyche India Pt Ltd., has sold 10 Guntas to the second
defendant which was converted land got under
Dissolution Deed. It is false to state that first defendant
did not own 28 Guntas of land in Sy No. 132/4. It is false
to state that the above said Sale deeds by first defendant
are in excess of land holding of the first defendant. It is
false to state that there are no Revenue documents to
show ownership and possession of first defendant
regarding 28 guntas of land when the sale was made. It
is false to state that defendant No.2 & 3 are attempting
to encroach on the land of plaintiff unauthorizedly and
illegally. It is not admitted that the plaintiff has spent
Rs.44.57 Crores. This defendant is not aware of the
alleged police complaint lodged by plaintiff. The
boundaries stated in the plaint is substantially correct
subject to clarity that on the South the land bearing
Sy.No. 132/4 mentioned is Sy.No. 132/4 belonging to 2nd
defendant. This defendant is not aware of Joint
Development Agreement entered into by the plaintiff. It
is false to state that this defendant has sold the property
52
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
in excess of what was owned by him to the second
defendant. The property sold by this defendant to the
second defendant is in existence. It is not admitted that
the plaintiff has spent Rs.44 Crores towards purchase of
alleged Schedule property and development costs. It is
false to state that any attempts are made to interfere
with alleged schedule property which has seriously
affected the alleged rights of the plaintiff. It is false to
state that on 16/11/2014 certain persons claiming to be
the agents of this defendant had come to the schedule
property and attempted to remove the sheet barricades
on the Southern side. It is false to state that the
workers/contractors of the plaintiff rush to the spot and
objected to the high handed actions of these persons and
because of galata the persons left holding out threats
with renewed interference with large force of people in a
day or two. It is false to state that there was any
interference by this defendant since April 2013 and it is
becoming more frequent. It is not known to this
defendant whether plan is sanctioned and plaintiff is
making efforts to commence construction. It is not
53
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
admitted whether land is excavated and leveled and
attempts are being made to construct sale office and
mock up flat on a portion of the land. This defendant has
not gone near the property since the date of sale to the
second defendant and this defendant is not aware of the
present status of the property and hence the averments
made in para-22 are not admitted and plaintiff is put to
strict proof of the same. It is false to state that any
attempt to interfere was made by this defendant. The
suit filed against this defendant is liable to be dismissed.
Plaintiff is not entitled for permanent injunction. The
cause of action is imaginary. Hence the defendant. No.1
Sri K.C.Rajaram prays for dismissal of suit.

Counsel for Plaintiff.
56
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
42. The learned Senior Counsel for the plaintiff argued
that the original owner K.C Rajaram who acquired the
lands bearing no. 132/1, 132/2, 132/4 under registered
gift deed acquired these lands for which the northern
boundary is shown as Whitefield main road. The
defendant claiming his property towards south in Sy. No.
132/4 now numbered as 132/4A measuring 28 guntas
and 132/4B measuring 10 guntas. According to the
defendant, Sy. No. 132/4B is situated towards north of Sy.
No. 132/4A. He submitted that the original owner KC
Rajaram owned the property in Sy. No. 132/1 towards
south of the Whitefield main road. He submitted that the
property bearing Sy. No. 132/1 situated towards north
and 132/4 situated towards south, Sy. no. 132/1, 132/2,
132/3 and 132/4 are situated in a chronological way
from north to south. The land bearing Sy. No. 132/3
belongs to one HN Anandaram Reddy and brothers which
exchanged under exchange deed dated 22.11.1978
under Ex.P16/ Ex.D18 with KC Rajaram. They exchanged
28 guntas each. After execution of exchange deed, the
land bearing Sy.no. 132/4 reduced from 1 acre 5 guntas
57
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
to 17 guntas. Thus Sri KC Rajaram became the owner
and in possession of 4 acres 30 guntas in the lands
bearing Sy. No. 132/1 measuring 2 acres 11 guntas plus
14 guntas kharab, Sy. No. 132/2 measuring 1 acre, Sy.
No. 132/3 measuring 28 guntas, Sy. No. 132/4 measuring
17 guntas. He argued that as per order official
memorandum dated 3.04.1979, the Deputy
commissioner passed conversion order with respect to 4
acre 30 guntas of land in Sy. No. 132/1 to Sy. No. 132/4 in
the name of KC Rajaram. He submitted that HN
Anandram Reddy sold 28 guntas in Sy. No. 132/4 in
favour of KC Rajaram under Ex.P19 dated 24.11.1979. He
argued that the same schedule which is mentioned in
this sale deed is mentioned in plaint schedule. He
submitted that the defendant who claimed that he
purchased the property under Ex.D8 and 9 sale deeds
unilaterally got created the documents Ex.D32 and 33
rectification deeds. He argued that KC Rajaram, who
formed the partnership firm on 1.04.1985 brought his 4
acre 30 guntas of land into partnership firm. But the
partnership firm KAYCEE Industrial Estate which also
58
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
consisting partners, Tyche India (Pvt.) Ltd and SWEDE
India teletronics dissolved as per dissolution deed Ex.P21
on 1.03.1987. In that dissolution Schedule II, i.e., the
land bearing Sy. No. 132/4 measuring 1008 Sq.
Meters(10 Guntas) given to the Tyche India (Pvt) Ltd and
Schedule III i.e., Sy. No. 132/1 to 132/4 measuring
18,211.50 Sq meters (4 acres 20 guntas) given to SWEDE
India. He submitted that as SWEDE India went into
liquidation, Sri Tippareddy purchased this property under
public auction and accordingly official liquidator executed
Ex.P2 sale deed dated 14.08.2006. he submitted that in
Ex.P2 sale deed also the same boundary which is
mentioned in Ex.P21 dissolution deed is mentioned. He
argued that in page no. 10 of Ex.D8, false recitals are
mentioned regarding 7 guntas of land. He submitted that
in Ex.P19, the boundaries to the 28 guntas of land which
repurchased by KC Rajaram from Anandram Reddy are
mentioned. But the defendant while got executed Ex.D8,
boundaries are changed. He submitted that during the
course of cross-examination of DW1, he has admitted
that he has not produced any survey documents. He
59
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
argued that the plaintiff company produced the
documents such as sale deeds, joint development
agreement, GPA and other documents issued by various
authorities to show that plaintiff company is in
possession of 4 acres 20 guntas of land. The plaintiff
company possessing the same land measuring 4 acres
20 guntas which possessed by the previous owners.
BBMP authorities, several statutory authorities who
visited the spot and verified the documents held that
actual area which is in possession of plaintiff is 18,210.70
Sq meters. He argued that even in Ex.P 76 village map,
the Hoodi / Whitefield main road is shown towards north
of the plaintiff's property. There exists no property in Sy.
No. 132/1 towards north of the road. He argued that the
defendant is claiming right over non- existing C Schedule
Property. According to DW1, C Schedule property is
between A and B Schedule which is sandwiched. Under
such circumstances, there is no possibility to encroach
any such C Schedule property. He argued that DW1 is not
sure who was encroached which portion of the property.
DW1 after almost 10 years of Ex.D8 and D9 got prepared
60
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
Ex.D32 and Ex.D33 rectification deeds. When compared
to Ex.D8, Ex.D9 with Ex.D32 and 33, three side
boundaries i.e., east, west and south are completely
changed. He argued that after filing of the suit by the
defendant in OS No.7161/2011 as per Ex.D42 plaint filed
against Thippareddy as the defendant therein as per
Ex.D43 WS in para No. 10 seriously disputed regarding
identity, location and existence of the property, by
realizing the same, the defendant got created the
documents Ex.D32 and Ex.D33 rectification deeds by
changing three sides boundaries unilaterally without
having any registered documents showing the
boundaries mentioned Ex.D32 and 33. He argued that if
the defendant shows the plaintiff is having excess land
than 4 acres 20 guntas, which also possessed by the
original owners, then only the defendant can succeed in
this suit. He argued that Ex.P14 is the first document
under which KC Rajaram acquired ownership over the
property measuring 4 acres 30 guntas. In Ex.P14 dated
13.11.1978, the northern boundary is shown as
Whitefield main road. There is no evidence to show when
61
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
actually this Whitefield main road constructed. He
submitted that the defendant has not appointed any
commissioner or any surveyor. Only on the basis of oral
evidence, defendant claims 19 guntas gone to the road.
He submitted that if we peruse the document Ex.D25
notice dated 15.09.2016 issued by tahsildar, it was
issued only against the defendant. No such notice was
issued to the plaintiff. Ex.D26 is the survey sketch
wherein signed date is mentioned as 20.09.2016. Ex.D26
prepared at the instance of the defendant. Ex.D7 is the
statement of objection. He argued that as soon as the
plaintiff came to know about the survey, he has preferred
WP No. 51470/2016 before Hon'ble High Court of
Karnataka as per Ex.P75. The Hon'ble High Court passed
stay order dated 29.09.2016. Interim order extended
until further orders as per order dated 28.10.2016. When
there is a stay, any report submitted by Tahsildar, ADLR,
DDLR, JDLR are no evidentiary value. It cannot be looked
into. The defendants have not moved any application
before Hon'ble High Court to accept this survey report.
The Hon'ble High Court dismissed the writ petition as the
62
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
present two suits are pending. He submitted that internal
arrangement made by the defendant and the survey
department cannot be looked into. He argued that incase
of any encroachment made out, the adjacent owners
should be issued with notice. The land should have got
measured to find out who is in possession to what extent.
But there is no such attempt made to issue notices to the
adjacent owners to find out whether there is
encroachment is made of not. There is no notification
made for road widening. Other than relinquishment deed
executed with respect to 5 guntas for road widening,
there is no other documents in existence to show any
notification regarding road or road widening. He argued
that the plaintiff has mentioned in his suit the same
boundaries which are mentioned in the gift deed
executed in favour of KC Rajaram, in dissolution deed
while dissolving the partnership firm, in the sale deed
executed by official liquidator in favour of the Tippareddy.
He submitted that the plaintiff has produced the
documents Ex.P45 license, Ex.P50, 54, 55, 56, 62, 63,
documents issued by various authorities to show that the
63
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
land which is in possession of the plaintiff is 4 acre 20
guntas.
43. Arguments addressed by learned Counsel for
Defendant.
44. The learned counsel for the defendant argued
that since there is a formation of a road in the land
bearing Sy.No. 132/1, there is shortage of 19 guntas of
land in possession of the plaintiff. To the partnership firm,
the industrially converted land measuring 4 acres 30
guntas including the land measuring 14 guntas kharab
was contributed as capital. Sri KC Rajaram was owner of
the land bearing Sy.No. 132/1 measuring 2 acre 25
guntas including 14 guntas of Kharab. The land bearing
Sy.No. 132/2 measures 1 acre, 132/3 measures 28
guntas, 132/4 measures 1 acre 5 guntas total land 5
acres 18 guntas. If we deduct 14 guntas of kharab, then
the remaining land would be 5 acres 4 guntas. As per
Ex.P14 gift deed including 14 guntas kharab, land
measuring 14 acre 30 guntas gifted to KC Rajaram. At
that time, KC Rajaram was not the owner of Sy.No. 132/3.
As per Ex.D18, exchange deed, exchange of land
64
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
measuring 28 guntas was taken place. The land remains
in Sy. No. 132/4 with KC Rajaram was 17 guntas. Thus the
KC Rajaram became owner of the land measuring 4 acres
30 guntas including 14 guntas kharab i.e., Sy. No 132/1
measuring 2 acres 11 guntas, Sy.No. 132/2 measuring 1
acre, Sy.No. 132/3 measuring 28 guntas, Sy.No. 132/4
measuring 17 guntas(1 Acre 5 guntas - 28 guntas). He
submitted that at the time when KC Rajaram was applied
for conversion, 28 guntas of land was not subject matter
of conversion order. Only 4 acres 16 guntas land was
converted. Which could be seen from the documents
Ex.D1 to D4. He submitted that there is clear shara in
Ex.P20 in para No. 3 that the phut kharab as per the
rules should be reserved to the government U/s 67 of
KLR Act. Thus only converted land is 4 acres 16 guntas.
Remaining 14 guntas is ordered to reserve to the
government. The KC Rajaram became owner of
purchased 28 guntas subsequently, on 2.11.1979, as per
Ex.D17, if we add this 28 guntas to 4 acre 16 guntas,
then total comes to 5 acres 4 guntas excluding 14 guntas
kharab. He argued that the 28 guntas of subsequently
65
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
purchased land by KC Rajaram not at all the asset of the
firm. He submitted that Schedule II in dissolution deed
given to Swede India, Schedule III given to Tychee. Then
actual controversy started. He submitted that the
plaintiffs in OS No. 2835/2016 admitted that 14 guntas
taken for road further 5 guntas acquired for road. Thus
totally 19 guntas went for road. He submitted that the
actual land of Swede India is only 4 .01 acres. Since
nobody surveyed the land, the same entry continued.
Even the official liquidator who executed the sale deed
also not surveyed the land. He argued that when the
public notice was issued by the plaintiff, then the
defendant filed the objection for the same. The plaintiff
fully aware that the owners got only 4.01 acres started to
develop the land out of 4 acres 20 guntas. He submitted
that defendant purchased 10 guntas of the land under
Ex.D9 from Tychee which is shown as B schedule
property. KC Rajaram and children sold 28 guntas of land
in favour of the defendant as per Ex.D8. Thus the
defendant having the title of 38 guntas which is
mentioned as A and B schedule property in plain in OS
66
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
No. 2835/2016. He argued that while mentioning the
boundaries in Ex.D8 and Ex.D9 sale deeds, mistake
crept. Hence rectification deed executed as per Ex.D32
and Ex.D33. There is no such change of boundaries as
contended by the plaintiff. The boundaries which are
mentioned in Ex.D17 and Ex.D33 are one and the same.
Likewise, the boundaries mentioned in Ex.D9 and Ex.D32
are one and the same. If we peruse the documents
Ex.D1, Ex.D2, Ex.D5 survey and tippani sketch, it would
go to show that even beyond the road towards north, the
land bearing Sy.No. 132/1 is situated. The plaintiff has
not challenged the documents Ex.D1 to Ex.D3 and Ex.D5.
He submitted that as the land bearing Sy.No. 132/4 got
converted, hence it is re numbered as Sy.No. 132/4A and
Sy.No. 132/4B. He submitted that Ex.D27 is the technical
report, Ex.D29 is the statement of objection filed by
DDLR/Government. Ex.D26 is the sketch. If we peruse
Ex.D26, NAK indicates Non Converted Agricultural land.
He argued that as on the date of filing of the suit, the
plaintiff was not in possession of C Schedule property
which could be seen from Ex.D44 photos of vacant land.
67
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
During the pendency of this suit, the plaintiff company
encroached 19 ½ guntas of the land belongs to the
defendant which is mentioned as C Schedule. PW1 in his
cross-examination clearly admitted the suggestion that
the plaintiff not surveyed the land. He argued that as per
Ex.P77, the plaintiff themselves filed the writ petition and
thereafter themselves withdrawn the same. Interim order
passed by Hon'ble High Court on 29.09.2016. On that
day, prior to passing of interim order,survey is already
conducted. DDLR prepared sketch and submitted report.
The sketch and report of DDLR remained unchallenged.
He argued that since KC Rajaram purchased 28 guntas of
land, after conversion, this 28 guntas was not subject
matter of conversion. He submitted that 19 guntas which
is now in possession of the plaintiff wherein already flats
constructed during the pendency of the suit mentioned
in schedule C is belongs to the defendant. Hence he
prayed to decree the suit in OS No. 2835/2016 and
dismiss the suit in O.S.No.9024/2014.

executed an exchange deed in favor of K. C. Rajaram and
exchanged their land, extent of 28 guntas out of 1 acre
05 guntas) under a registered deed dated 22-11-1978. In

61. DW1 further deposed that, Sri. K.C.Rajraram,
86

land bearing Sy.No.132/1 measuring 2 acres 25 guntas,
Sy.No.132/2 measuring 1 acre, Sy.No.132/3 measuring 28
guntas, Sy.No.132/4 measuring 17 guntas, situated at

and conversion certificate was issued on 12.04.1979. In
Sy.No.132/1, an extent of 14 guntas is classified as
kharab land. Thus, in the Conversion Certificate, a
condition was imposed in clause 3 that "the phut Kharab
as per rules should be reserved to government under
section 67 of the KLR Act 1964". Subsequent to the
conversion order the survey authorities prepared a Hissa
Tippani in respect of the land bearing Sy.No.132/1 to
Sy.No.132/4. During these Durasthi proceedings,
Sy.No.132/4 was re-classified and re-numbered as
Sy.No.132/4A and Sy.No. 132/4B. Agricultural land
87
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
measuring 28 guntas belonging to H.M.Anandaram
Reddy was assigned as Sy.No.132/4A and the converted
land i.e., an extent of 17 guntas in Sy.No.132/4 was
assigned as Sy.No.132/4B. He states that Sy. No. 132/4A

Rama Reddy and his family members sold above said 28
guntas of land in the land bearing Sy.No.132/4 in favor of
K.C.Rajaram under the registered sale deed dated

under the sale deed dated 24.11.1979 was agricultural
land and was not subject matter of conversion under the
order dated 03.04.1979. Sri.K.C.Rajaram thereafter
formed a Partnership Firm with other partners, under the
name and style of M/s.Kaycee Industrial Estate. The
object of the firm was to own and run an Industrial Estate
and construction of industrial sheds. K.C. Rajaram had
contributed industrial converted lands bearing
Sy.No.132/1 measuring 2 acres 25 guntas, Sy.No.132/2
measuring 1 acre, Sy.No.132/3 measuring 28 guntas,
Sy.No.132/4 measuring 17 guntas, totally measuring 4
acres 30 guntas towards his share of capital to the above
88
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
said partnership firm.
62. DW1 further deposed that, with the purpose of
improving the business, the partners of M/s.Kaycee
Industrial Estate agreed to take M/s. Swede (India)
Teltronics Limited, as partner to the partnership firm.
Accordingly, a re-constitution partnership deed was
executed on 5.7.1986. The partnership firm now consists
of 3 partners viz., (1) K.C.Rajaram, (2) M/s.Tyche Private
Ltd and (3) M/s. Swede (India) Teltronics Limited. The
partners thereafter decided to dissolve the partnership
firm functioning under the name and style M/s.Kaycee
Industrial Estate. Accordingly, the partnership firm was
orally dissolved on 31.12.1986. The dissolution of the
partnership deed was reduced in writing on 01.03.1987.
The assets of the firm are setforth in Schedule-I of the
deed of dissolution. The asset of the firm consisted only
of the converted lands bearing Sy.No.132/1 measuring 2
acres 25 guntas, Sy.No.132/2 measuring 1 acre,
Sy.No.132/3 measuring 28 guntas, Sy.No.132/4

89
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
guntas. However out of 4 Acres 30 guntas an extent of
14 guntas was classified as kharab Land. The agricultural
land measuring 28 guntas was not contributed to the
asset of the partnership firm. Under the deed of
dissolution of partnership, the entire industrial converted
land contributed by Sri.K.C. Rajaram has been allotted to
two partners namely M/s Tyche Private Ltd and M/s
Swede (India) Teltronics Ltd. Under the said deed, M/s
Swede (India) Teltronics Ltd. has become the owner of
18,211.50 Sq. Mtrs with the factory building, measuring
1,896.11 Sq. Mtrs in the land bearing Sy.No.132/1, 132/2,
132/3 and Sy.No.132/4 of Hoodi village. The land allotted
to M/s. Swede (India) Teltronics Ltd., is including 14
guntas of Khara land, situated in Sy. No.132/1. The other
partner M/s.Tyche Private Ltd,. has become the owner of
1,008.50 sq. mtrs with factory building of 900.20 sq. mtrs
of Sy.No.132/4 of Hoodi village. The agricultural property
measuring 28 guntas belongs to K.C Rajaram was
described as southern boundary to the property allotted
to M/s.Swede (India) Teltronics Ltd. M/s.Swede (India)
Teltronics Ltd. was declared as sick company and
90
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
referred to Board for Industrial & Financial Reconstruction
Government of India, ("BIFR"). BIFR had opined that the
company cannot be reviewed and consequently, the said
company was ordered to be wound-up by order dated
21.07.2000 passed in Company Petition No.68/1997 by
the Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka, Bengaluru. The
Official Liquidator took charge of the assets of the
company and obtained orders to sell the land to the
highest bidders. In a public auction, the husband of the
defendant No.2, in O.S. No.2835/2016 i.e., Sri. H.
Thippareddy was declared as the highest bidder and a
registered sale deed was executed in favour of
Sri.H.Thippareddy on 14.08.2006 to an extent of 4 acres
20 guntas of land i.e. land bearing Sy.No.132/1, 132/2,
132/3 and 132/4 of Hoodi village. Out of the said 4 Acres
20 gunats of land an extent of 14 guntas of land is
reserved as Kharab Land.
63. DW1 further deposed that, the land bearing Sy. No.
132/1 consisted of 14 guntas of land which was classified
as kharab. In the conversion certificate, it was mandated
91
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
that the phut Kharab as per rules should be reserved to
government under section 67 of the KLR Act, 1964 and
hence, though 4 acres 30 guntas of land was submitted
for conversion, only 4 acre 16 guntas of land was actually
converted. Thus, the husband of the 2nd defendant in
O.S.No.2835/2016 could not have obtained title over 4
acres 20 guntas of land. The entire extent of land
measuring 14 guntas, which was classified as "kharab"
was used for formation of Whitefield to Hosakote road,
which passes through Sy. No.132/1 from the eastern side
to the western side. Subsequently the said road was
widened and for widening purpose an extent of 5 guntas,
was utilized in Sy.No.132/1. Thus, the extent of
Sy.No.132/1 was therefore reduced from 2 Acre 25
guntas to only 2 Acres 6 Guntas.
64. DW1 further deposed that, "A" & "B" schedule
property in O.S.No.2835/2016 was included in the limits
of Bruhath Bangalore. K.C.Rajaram reddy has
approached Bruhath Bangalore Mahanagara palike for
change of katha into his name, accordingly, BBMP has
92
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
ordered to change the khatha in respect of the schedule
'A' and 'B' properties in O.S.No.2835/2016 in favour of
K.C.Rajaram reddy and M/s Tyche Private Ltd. Before
changing the katha the said K.C.Rajarama Reddy has also
paid the betterment charges to the BBMP. The 2nd
Defendant Company has acquired 'A' schedule property
in O.S.No.2835/2016 under the registered sale deed
dated 10.09.2007 from 1st Defendant K.C.Rajaram and
his family members for a valuable sale consideration
amount. As on the date of sale deed, the vendor of the
Defendant No.2 has put the Defendant No.2 in physical
possession of the schedule 'A' property in
O.S.No.2835/2016 and from the date of registered sale
deed, the 2nd Defendant company is in actual physical
possession of the schedule 'A' property in
O.S.No.2835/2016. The 2nd Defendant Company has
acquired the 'B' schedule property in O.S.No.2835/2016
under the registered sale deed dated 10.09.2007 from
M/s.Tyche Private Ltd, for a valuable sale consideration
amount. On the date of registered sale deed, the vendor
of the Defendant No.2 has put the Defendant No.2 in
93
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
physical possession of the 'B' schedule property in
O.S.No.2835/2016. From the date of the registered sale
deed, the Defendant No.2 is in possession and enjoyment
of the 'B' schedule property in O.S.No.2835/2016.
Subsequent to the registered sale deed, the 2nd
Defendant company approached the BBMP for change of
khatha in respect of the schedule 'A' and 'B' properties in
O.S.No.2835/2016 into their names. Accordingly, BBMP
has ordered to change the khatha in respect of the
schedule 'A' and 'B' properties in O.S.No.2835/2016 in
favour of the Defendant No.2 Company. In this regard,
BBMP has issued the khatha certificate, khatha extract in
the name of the 2nd Defendant Company. The 2nd
Defendant Company is paying the property tax to the
schedule 'A' and 'B' properties in O.S.No.2835/2016. The
Defendant No.2 is exercising all the rights of the
ownership over the schedule properties mentioned in
O.S.No.2835/2016 which is free from all encumbrances.
DW1 further deposed that at the time of conversion
order the Deputy Commissioner or the Thasildar
concerned have not mentioned the extent of land in each
94
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
survey number. In the conversion certificate the
Thasildar Bangalore South Taluk has totally mentioned 4
acre 30 guntas out of survey number 132/1, 132/2, 132/3
and 132/4. As already stated above as on the date of
conversion order Mr.K.C.Rajarama Reddy was not the
owner of southern edge 28 guntas land in the land
bearing Sy.No.132/4, the said land was not a subject
matter of the conversion order. Sri. H. Thippareddy, i.e,
the husband of the 2nd defendant in O.S.No.2835/2016
has sold eastern portion measuring 2 acres 10 guntas
land bearing Sy.No.132/1, 132/2, 132/3 and 132/4 in
favor of one D. Anjaneyalu on 25-01-2007 under a
registered sale deed. Sri.D.Anjaneyalu has passed away
prior to filing of this suit and the defendants No.6 to 16 in
O.S.No.2835/2016 are the legal representatives of said
D.Anjaneyalu. The Plaintiff is claiming to be purchaser of
1 acre 10 guntas of land in the land bearing Sy.No.132/1
and 132/2. The Plaintiff has also entered into a joint
development agreement with defendant No.2 to 16 in
O.S.No.2835/2016 for construction of multistoried
apartment. While purchasing the land bearing
95
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
Sy.No.132/1 and other land from the official liquidator,
the husband of the 2nd defendant O.S.No.2835/2016 had
not verified the actual exact land available in the land
bearing Sy.No.132/1 after formation of road. The land
measuring 19 guntas of land was utilized for formation
and widening of road. The actual land available was only
2 acre 06 guntas and the husband of the 2nd defendant
in O.S.No.2835/2016 without verifying the same has
purchased 2 acres 25 guntas in the land bearing
Sy.No.132/1. Thus, there is a shortage of land to an
extent of 19 guntas in the land purchased by the
husband of the 2nd defendant O.S.No.2835/2016. The
husband of the 2nd defendant O.S.No.2835/2016 with an
intention to make up for his lost land tried to usurp some
land belonging to the Defendant No.2 in
O.S.No.9024/2014. It was then noticed by the Defendant
No.2 that there was a mistake in the sale deed dated
10.09.2007 while mentioning the boundaries to the 'A'
schedule property mentioned in O.S.No.2835/ 2016. The
"A" schedule property boundary was described as East
by: Private land bearing Sy.No.131 and & Tank bund,
96
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
West by: Private land and Sy.No.133, North by : Portion of
Sy.No.132/4, South by Portion land bearing Sy.No.132/4
and private land, Hence a deed of rectification was
executed on 21.3.2016 and the vendor of the Defendant
No.2 has executed the Deed rectifying the schedule and
making correction to the boundaries to 'A' schedule
property mentioned in O.S.No.2835/2016 as stated
above. Similar mistake had also been found in the 2nd
sale deed dated 10.09.2007, while mentioning the
boundaries to the 'B' schedule property, The "B"
schedule property mentioned in O.S.No.2835/2016
boundary was described as East by: private land bearing
Sy.No.131 and & tank bund, West by: Private land and
Sy.No.132/4, North by : Portion of Sy.No.132/4, South by
Portion land bearing Sy.No.131 and tank bund. Hence, a
deed of rectification was executed on 23-03-2016 and
the vendor of the Defendant No.2 has executed the Deed
rectifying the schedule and making correction to the
boundaries to 'B' schedule property as stated above. The
husband of the 2nd Defendant in O.S.No.2835/2016
made repeated attempts to usurp the property belonging
97
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
to the Defendant No.2 in O.S.No.9024/2014. Finally the
Defendant No.2 has filed a suit against the husband of
the 2nd defendant in O.S.No.2835/2016 before this
Hon'ble court in O.S.No.7161/2011 for the relief of
permanent injunction. During the pendency of the above
suit the husband of the 2nd defendant in
O.S.No.2835/2016 died, the suit filed by the Defendant
No.2 against husband of the 2nd defendant in
O.S.No.2835/2016 is bare injunction; the cause of action
does not survive on the LRs of the deceased defendant.
The Plaintiff herein on the basis of the joint development
agreement executed by the defendant No.2 to 16 in
O.S.No.2835/2016 has tried to encroach upon some land
belonging to the Defendant No. 2 Company. The
Defendant No.2 has resisted illegal activities of the
Plaintiff. The Plaintiff had instigated Tahsildar and Police
authorities to recover the possession on the guise of
survey. After coming to know about the same the
Defendant No.2 has challenged the communication of
Government machinery before the Hon'ble High court of
Karnataka in WP No.39376/2013, wherein the Hon'ble
98
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
High -court of Karnataka appointed Deputy Director of
City survey as court commissioner to conduct the survey
of land bearing Sy.No.132 of Hoodi Village and disposed
off the writ petition by the order dated 12-08-2014.
Based on the orders of the Hon'ble High court of
Karnataka the Deputy Director of Land Records has
conducted a survey and submitted a report to the
parties. However the deputy director has not surveyed
the land as per the survey records and he has not fixed
any boundaries to the survey No.132/1 to 132/4. The
court commissioner has prepared his report only on the
basis of title deeds of the parties. The report of the court
commissioner do not speak about the exact land used for
formation of road in Sy.No.132/1 and available land in
land bearing Sy.No.132/1. The report of the commissioner
is not helpful to the parties to resolve the disputes
among them. The Plaintiff herein before entering into the
Joint development agreement with the defendant No. 2
to 16 in O.S.No.2835/2016 has issued a public notice in
daily newspaper calling upon the general public for
objection if any. After noticing the same the Defendant
99
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
No.2 has filed a detailed objection on 16.05.2012. In-
spite of strong objection raised by the Defendant No.2,
the Plaintiff colluding with the defendant No.2 to 16 in
O.S.No.2835/2016 has entered into a JDA agreement.
65. DW1 further deposed that, as per the survey
records such as Hissa Survey, Tippani Prathi, Secondary
Re-clause Hissa Tippani, and Village Map of the land
bearing Sy.No.132/1 of Hoodi village, there is a road
passing within the land bearing Sy.No.132/1. On the
northern side of the road, there is a land existing in the
land bearing Sy.No.132/1 of Hoodi village. In spite of the
existence of the land above the road, the Plaintiff has
intentionally concealed in order to knock-off the property
belonging to Defendant No.2 and is claiming the land
below the road. After deducting the land measuring 38
guntas of the land belonging to Defendant No.2, the land
available in the land bearing Sy.No.132 new No. 132/1 to
132/4 is only 4 acres 01 gunta. The remaining 19 guntas
of land is used for formation of road. The Plaintiff
knowing fully about the same, and suppressing the
100
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
above stated facts, is forcibly trying to encroach the
Schedule 'A' & 'B' property mentioned in
O.S.No.2835/2016 belongs to Defendant No.2 to match
up the an extent. When the matter stood thus the
Plaintiff herein with an intention to encroach property
belonging to the Defendant No.2 has filed false suit
before this court in O.S.No.9024/2014 for the relief of
permanent injunction. This court after hearing the
Plaintiff and after looking into the dispute between the
parties was pleased to grant an order ex-party injunction
of status-quo. The Plaintiff and other defendant No.2 to
16 in O.S.No.2835/2016 colluding with each other taking
advantage of the same has tried to erect metal sheet ,
barricades/compound in the Defendant No.2 property,
the Defendant No.2 has resisted the Plaintiff and other
defendant No. 2 to 16 in O.S.No.2835/2016 from erecting
the metal sheet barricades. When they failed to complete
their works the Plaintiff has filed a writ petition before the
Hon'ble High court of Karnataka in W.P.No.8366-
8370/2016 wherein the Hon'ble High court of Karnataka
was pleased to pass an interim order directing the
101
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
parties to approach civil court for appropriate remedy.
The Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka while passing an
interim order has permitted the Plaintiff to go ahead with
construction by the order dated 08.03.2016. The Plaintiff
taking advantage of the order passed in W.P.No.8366-
8370/2016 has tried to put up a construction. The
Defendant No.2 has challenged the order passed in
W.P.No.8366-8370/2016 before the Division Bench of
Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka by filing an appeal in
W.A.No.826- 830/2016. The Hon'ble Division Bench of
Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka by the judgment dated
20.06.2016 was pleased to allow the writ appeal filed by
the Defendant No.2 and set aside the order dated
08.03.2016. In the meantime the Defendant No.2 has
also filed the above suit in O.S.No.2835/2016 on
07.04.2016. Along with the suit the Defendant No.2 has
filed an application for an order of temporary injunction
restraining the Plaintiff in O.S.No.9024/2014 and
defendant No.2 to 16 in O.S.No.2835/2016 from putting
up construction on the 'A' and 'B' schedule properties
mentioned in O.S.No.2835/2016. Before filing the suit,
102
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
the Plaintiff has filed a Caveat Petition against the
Defendant No.2 before this Court. After filing of the suit,
this Court issued a notice to the Plaintiff. Initially this
court has declined to grant an ex-parte injunction order
in view of the caveat filed by the Plaintiff. This Court after
hearing the defendant No.2, was pleased to allow the
application filed by the defendant No.2 under Order
XXXIX Rule 1 & 2, by the order dated 20.06.2017 and
restrained the Plaintiff herein and Defendant No. 2 to 16
in O.S.No.2835/2016 from putting up any construction in
the schedule 'A' and 'B' properties mentioned in
O.S.No.2835/2016. As against the orders of this Hon'ble
Court, the Plaintiff herein has filed Misc. First Appeal
before the Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka in MFA
No.4903/2017 and obtained an order of stay to the order
passed by this Hon'ble Court dated 20.06.2017. During
the pendency of the suit in O.S. No.2835/2016, the Joint

Section 49(f) of the Karnataka Land Revenue Act read
with Rule-36(1) of the Karnataka Land Revenue Rules,
has issued a direction to the Assistant Director of Land

land was utilized. After utilizing the land for formation of
road, the land available in the land bearing Sy.No.132/1
is only 02 acres 06 guntas. The Plaintiff knowing fully
about the same, is falsely claiming 02 acres 25 guntas in

No.2 to 16 in O.S.No.2835/2016 have dispossessed the
Defendant No.2 from the 'C' schedule property during the
pendency of the present suit. Hence the Defendant No.2
having no other alternative has sought for the relief of
possession by amending the Plaint in O.S.No.2835/2016.
66. DW1 further deposed that, the Plaintiff herein have
no manner of right, title and interest or possession over
the schedule 'A' and 'B' properties mentioned in
O.S.No.2835/2016 belonging to the Defendant No.2. The
Plaintiff herein and Defendant No.2 to 16 in
O.S.No.2835/2016 taking undue advantage of the interim
order passed in O.S.No.9024/2014, and interim order
passed in W.P.No.8366-8370/2016 are denying the
Defendant No. 2 title over the schedule 'A' and 'B'
properties mentioned in O.S.No.2835/2016. The Plaintiff
knowing fully well that schedule 'A' and 'B' property is
belongs to the Defendant No.2, taking advantage of the
106
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
above orders, has come near to the schedule property
described in O.S.No. 2835/2016 on 31.03.2016 along
with security guards, coolies and goonda elements and
has tried to put-up compound wall encroaching the
schedule 'A' and 'B' properties. The Defendant No.2 with
the timely help of friends and well-wishers has resisted
the illegal activities of the Plaintiff. The Plaintiff went
away from the schedule 'A' and B properties mentioned
in O.S.No.2835/2016 proclaiming that they will come
again with huge supporters and put-up compound wall
and construction in the properties belong to the
Defendant No.2. The only intention of the Plaintiff in
doing so is to deprive the right of the Defendant No.2
over its property and hence the Defendant No.2 has filed
a Suit in in O.S.No.2835/2016. The Plaintiff herein is not
in possession and enjoyment of 4 Acres 20 Gunats of
land. Out of 4 Acres 20 guntas of land an extent of 19
guntas of land is used for formation of road. As such the
Plaintiff is not in possession and enjoyment of the suit
schedule property mentioned in O.S.No.9024/2014 as on
the date of filing the Suit. The Defendant No.2 has not
107
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
interfered with the alleged possession of the Plaintiff over
the suit schedule property. When there is no such extent
physically available, the question of interfering with the
possession of the Plaintiff does not arise. Hence, he
prayed for dismissal of the suit.
67. The defendants mainly relied on the documents

suggestion that H Thippareddy in his WS filed in OS No.
113
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016

the suggestion that the northern boundary of Sy.No.
132/1 given to K.C Rajaram under Ex.P14 is Whitefield

Ex.P 74 conversion order passed by DC regarding
conversion of land measuring 4 acres 30 guntas as a non
agricultural land for industrial purpose. He has admitted
the suggestion that ADLR proceedings were stayed by

further orders as per order dated 28.10.2016. He has
114
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
identified certified copy of order passed by Hon'ble High
Court in WP No. 51470/2016 which is marked at Ex.P75.
He has admitted the suggestion that Whitefield main

Rajaram received the property by way of gift as per

no.9024/2014 put up construction of residential
apartment as shown in photographs at Ex.P64 to Ex.P66
i.e., 4 residential blocks A, B, C, D.
70. Keeping in mind all these admitted facts which
115
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
are admitted by PW1 as well as DW1, one thing is very
clear that both parties have not disputed regarding the
documents Ex.P14 gift deed dated 13.11.1978 under
which KC Rajaram got 4 acres 30 guntas of land in Sy. No.
132/1, 132/2, 132/4. Both partied have not disputed the
documents Ex.P16/ Ex.P40 and Ex.D18 exchange deed
dated 22.11.1978 entered into between K.C. Rajaram
and H.N Anandram Reddy and brothers for exchange of
28 guntas each in Sy. No. 132/3 and 132/4. Both parties
have not disputed the document Ex.P20/Ex.P74 copy of
official memorandum dated 3.04.1979 regarding
conversion of land measuring 4 acred 30 guntas in Sy
No.132/1, 132/2, 132/3, 132/4. Both parties have not
disputed the documents Ex.P19/ Ex.P38 equivalent to
Ex.D17 registered sale deed dated 24.11.1979 executed
by H.M Anandram Reddy in favour of K.C. Rajaram selling
28 guntas in Sy.No. 132/4. Both parties have not disputed
formation of partnership firm called Kaycee Industrial
Estate on 1.04.1985 which consisting partners K.C.
Rajaram and his children, Tychee India Pvt. Ltd, Swede
India Telectronics. Both parties have not disputed
116
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
document Ex.P21 equivalent to Ex.D13 certified copy of
deed of dissolution of partnership firm Kaycee Industrial
Estate under which Schedule II property land Sy.No.
132/4 measuring 1008 Sq. meters (10 Guntas) given to
Tychee India Pvt Ltd and Schedule III land in Sy. No.
132/1, 132/2, 132/3, 132/4 measuring 18211.50 Sq.
Meters (4 acres 20 guntas) allotted to Swede India
Telectronics. Both parties have not disputed the fact that
Swede India went in liquidation and as per order of
Hon'ble High Court, sale deed executed in favour of H
Thippareddy successful auction purchaser with regarding
to property given to Swede India Telectronics under
Ex.P21=Ex.D13 dissolution deed.
71. Now the main contention of the defendant is that
there was no such property measuring 4 acres 20 guntas
in existence inorder to execute the sale deed by official
liquidator in favour of H Thippareddy as 19 guntas out of
4 Acres 20 guntas already went for construction of
Whitefield road and the remaining land available was
only 4 Acres 1 guntas. It is the contention of the
117
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
defendant is that inorder to make good 19 guntas of land
gone for construction of road, the plaintiff encroached
upon the defendant's C Schedule property measuring 19
1/2 guntas. It is the contention of the defendant is that
when the Deputy Commissioner passed an conversion
order for dated 3.04.1979 converting 4 acres 30 guntas
of land, it included 14 guntas of kharab land. Thereafter
5 guntas additionally acquired for widening the road.
Thus total land measuring 19 guntas in Sy.No. 132/1
went for road. But the plaintiff instead of claiming 4 acres
1 guntas of actual existing land, started to develop land
measuring 4 acres 20 guntas including 19 1/2 guntas
belongs to the defendants which is shown as C Schedule
Property. It is the contention of the defendant is that 28
guntas in Sy.No. 132/4 which belongs to H.N Anandram
Reddy subsequently purchased by K.C. Rajaram was not
subject matter of conversion order passed by DC. As this
28 guntas in Sy.No. 132/4 subsequently purchased by
K.C. Rajaram, same remained unconverted land. This
land purchased by the defendant which is mentioned as
A Schedule. The defendant has also purchased land
118
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
measuring 10 guntas i.e., 1008 Sq. Meters converted
land from Tyche India which is mentioned as B Schedule.
By way of sale deeds as per Ex.D8 and 9= Ex.D32 and 33
rectification deeds, the defendant became the owner of
Schedule A and B properties. On the other hand, it is the
contention of the plaintiff is that in gift deed Ex.P14 land
measuring 4 acres 30 guntas, the northern boundary is
mentioned as Whitefield Main Road. After execution of
exchange deed as per Ex.P16 and after Ex.P19 sale deed,
K.C. Rajaram became owner of 5 acres 18 guntas in
Sy.No. 132/1 to 132/4 and he has given converted land of
4 acres 30 guntas to the partnership firm. In Ex.P21
dissolution of partnership, the land measuring 4 acres 20
guntas given to Swede India, The northern boundary is
shown as Whitefield Main Road. The very same property
is purchased by H Thippareddy under Ex.P2 sale deed in
auction purchase. Even in Ex.P2 also for 4 acres 20
guntas, northern boundary is shown as Whitefield Main
road. Throughout from the inception, i.e., original owner
H.R. Gurava Reddy who executed gift deed in favour of
K.C. Rajaram till the plaintiff came in possession of the
119
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
property, same boundaries and extent are mentioned. It
is the defendant who inorder to locate the property
within the boundary of the plaintiff's property changed
the 3 side boundaries i.e., east, west and south which are
mentioned in Ex.D8 and 9 by creating Ex.D32 and 33
rectification deeds. It is the contention of the plaintiff is
that the defendant has failed to show regarding identity,
location and existence of A and B Schedule properties. It
is the contention of the plaintiff is that schedule C
property is not in existence. It is also the contention of
the plaintiff is that the alleged survey report prepared by
ADLR, DDLR are having no evidentiary value as there
was a stay order passed by Hon'ble High Court in WP No.
51470/2016.
72. I have appreciated the rival contentions taken by
the parties. Since there is no documents either on the
side of the plaintiff or on the side of the defendant to
show that any of the parties by legally applying for
survey and the proper authorities by issuing notices all
the adjacent owners surveyed the lands bearing Sy.No.
120
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
132/1, 132/2, 132/3, 132/4 and prepared survey sketch,
this court cannot rely on the documents Ex.D30, Ex.D31,
Ex.D6. More than that there was a stay order passed by
Hon'ble High Court in WP No. 51470/2016 as on the date
of preparation of alleged sketch relied by the defendant.
There is no documents either on the side of the plaintiff
or on the side of the defendant to show prior to
execution of any title documents the survey was
conducted inorder to fix the boundaries of the property
which was in possession of the owners of the land. Since
in these suits, the question of title as well as possession
are involved, it is this civil court that has got jurisdiction
to adjudicate the dispute. Whatever the title documents
produced in this case overtakes the revenue documents.
The revenue documents cannot confer any title. This
court has to mainly rely on the title documents inorder to
adjudicate the dispute between the parties. The revenue
documents like Khatha certificate, khatha extract, tippani
sketch do not take the precedent over documents such
as sale deeds, exchange deeds, dissolution of partition
deed relied by the parties in this suit. The revenue
121
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
documents neither invest title, nor divest it. Hence
inorder to ascertain what is the actual extent and
possession of K.C. Rajaram, this court mainly looked into
the title deeds documents ,marked at Ex.P14/ Ex.P39=
Ex.D39. On perusal of this document, registered gift deed
executed by H.R. Gurava Reddy in favour of his grandson
K.C. Rajaram and his family members, he has gifted
totally 4 acres 30 guntas in their favour in land bearing
Sy.No. 132/1 measuring 2 acres 25 guntas including 14
guntas Kharab, Sy.No 132/2 measuring 1 acre, Sy. No.
132/4 measuring 1 acre 5 guntas. It is important to note
the northern boundary of these lands which are
mentioned as Whitefield Main road. The very boundary
which is mentioned as Whitefield main road which is
mentioned in Ex.P14=Ex.D39 dated 13.11.1978 would
indicates that even prior to execution of this gift deed,
there exists Whitefield main road. Thereafter, after
execution of Ex.P16 exchange deed dated 22.11.1978,
the land in Sy.No. 132/1 to 132/4 measuring 4 acres 30
guntas converted as non agricultural land as per Ex.P20.
No doubt in Ex.P20 there is no such mention how much
122
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
lands in each Sy.No. converted into non-agriculture. Since
the land upto Sy.No. 132/4 are mentioned in this
conversion order, one thing can be held that entire land
in Sy.No 132/1, 132/2, 132/3 were converted as non-
agricultural and portion of the land in Sy. No. 132/4 was
converted into non-agricultural. But fact remains that
very same land measuring 4 acres 30 guntas was given
by K.C. Rajaram to the partnership firm Kaycee Industrial
Estate. At the time of dissolving this partnership firm on
1.03.1987 as per Ex.P21 when land measuring 18211.50
Sq. Meters (4 acres 20 Guntas ) allotted to Swede India
Telectronics, the northern boundary is shown as K.R.
Puram Whitefield Main Road. Since K.C. Rajaram, his
Children, Tychee India Pvt Ltd(vendor of defendant),
Swede India Telectronics are all parties to the document
Ex.P21 dissolution deed under which property is given to
Swede India Telectronics and Tychee India Pvt Ltd, they
are estopped from disputing the boundaries and extent
which is mentioned in Ex.P21 dissolution deed. Under
such circumstances the contention of the defendant is
that the land which was given to Swede India
123
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
Telectronics was not 4 acres 20 guntas, but it was 4 acres
1 guntas is no water and not acceptable. The contents of
the undisputed document Ex.P14 gift deed, Ex.P6
exchange deed, Ex.P19 sale deed, Ex.P21, partnership
dissolution deed are binding on K.C Rajaram, his children,
Tychee India Pvt Ltd, Swede India Telectronics as the
plaintiff as well as the defendant claiming their right over
these documents.
73. The learned counsel for the defendants while
addressing arguments submitted that portion of
Sy.No.132/1 also situated towards northern side of
K.R.Puram - White Field Main Road. He submitted that
on perusal of the sketch prepared by DDLR and village
map, would go to show that there exists land in
Sy.No.132/1 towards northern side of K.R.Puram - White
Field Main Road also. In perused all the documents.
Based on the village map and sketch prepared by DDLR,
it cannot be held that the portion of Sy.No.132/1 is also
situated towards northern side of K.R.Puram - White
Field Main Road. The main documents from which
124
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
K.C.Rajaram gets the property is Ex.P14 Gift Deed dated
13.11.1978. The defendant also produced certified
copies of this Gift Deed. In Ex.P14 Gift Deed the
northern boundary of the land bearing Sy.No.132/1 given
to K.C.Rajaram is mentioned as road. The plaintiff as
well as defendant cannot deny the contents of Ex.P14,
because they are claiming the right over the property
under K.C.Rajaram. Even though Thippa Reddy
purchased the property in Sy.No.132/1 to 132/4 under
public auction. Originally these lands belong to
K.C.Rajaram who contributed the property to the
partnership firm KAYCEE Industrial Estate. Even in the
document Ex.P21 dated 01.03.1987 certified copy of
dissolution of partnership firm, the northern boundary of
land bearing Sy.No.132/1 is mentioned as White Field
main road. Under such circumstances, the contention of
DW 1 as well as arguments of learned counsel for the
defendant is that there exists portion of land in
Sy.No.132/1 even towards northern side of White Field
main road is not acceptable.
125
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
74. Since the plaintiff as well as the defendants
claiming their right over the property, under K.C
Rajaram, first and foremost point to be considered in this
suit is what was the actual extent of the land got by KC
Rajaram under gift deed, exchange deed and sale deed is
to be taken into consideration. Ex.P14 is the gift deed
under which KC Rajaram got 4 acres 30 guntas of the
land. The defendant has also relied same gift deed. On
perusal of Ex.P14, K.C Rajaram by way of gift got the
land bearing Sy.No.132/1 measuring 2 acres 11 guntas
plus 14 guntas kharab which bounded towards East: Tank
bund, west: Thoti Inam land, north: Whitefield road,
South: land bearing Sy. No 132/2 belongs to Sri HR Guruv
Reddy. He got the land bearing Sy.No. 132/2 measuring 1
Acre bounded towards east: tank bund, west: Private
land, north: land bearing Sy. No. 132/1 belongs to HR
Guruv Reddy, south: land bearing Sy. No. 132/3
belonging to Anandram Reddy's family. He got land
bearing Sy.No. 132/4 measuring 1 acre 5 guntas with
boundary towards east: tank bund, west: Private land,
north: land bearing Sy. No. 132/3 belongs to Anandram

Reddy, south: Thoti Inam Land. Thus in the gift deed
dated 13.11.1978, the northern boundary of Sy.No. 132/1
is mentioned as Whitefield Road. The second documents

acres 30 guntas in Sy.No. 132/1, 132/2, 132/3, 132/4 as
per order of the Deputy Commissioner as non agricultural
land. No doubt in Ex.P20, it is not mentioned in which
Sy.No. how much land converted as non agriculture. But
the total extent of the land converted in Sy.No. 132/1 to
132/4 is mentioned as 4 acres 30 guntas. The next
document Ex.P19/Ex.P38 and Ex.D17 copy of sale deed
127
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
executed by Sri HN Anandram Reddy to KC Rajaram
selling 28 guntas of the land in Sy.No 132/4. wherein the
Schedule of the property is mentioned as east by tank
bund, west by wet land, north by our own land in Sy.No.
132/4 and south by service inam land. It is not in dispute
that KC Rajaram formed partnership firm by name
KAYCEE Industrial Estate along with its partners, Tyche
India Pvt Ltd and Swede India Telectronics. It is not in
dispute that partnership firm Sri KAYCEE Industrial Estate
was dissolved on 1.03.1987 under dissolution deed. The
plaintiff as well as the defendant produced the
documents which are marked at Ex.P21 and Ex.D13.
Under this dissolution deed, schedule II given to the
Tychee and Schedule III Property given to Swede India
Telectronic Ltd. In Schedule II, the property discription is
shown as Sy. No. 132/4 measuring 1,008.50 Sq Meteres

tank bund, west by private land, north by KR Puram
Whitefield road, south by part of Sy. No 132/4 belonging

document Ex.P21 is not disputed by the defendant. The
defendant claiming very same property given to Tyche
India Ltd by contending that he purchased the same
under registered sale deed Ex.D9. Since the defendant
claiming the right over schedule B property which given
to Tyche India Pvt Ltd under Ex.P21, the defendant
cannot deny this document Ex.P21. Since the defendant
has not disputed Ex.P21, defendant cannot dispute the
boundaries of schedule II and Schedule III mentioned in
Ex.P21. In Ex.P21, the northern boundary of all these
lands bearing Sy. No. 131/1, 132/2, 132/3 and 132/4
measuring 4 acres 20 guntas is shown as KR Puram-
Whitefield road.

O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
75. The next document is Ex.P2 / Ex.P22 sale deed
dated 14.08.2016 executed by Official liquidator
appointed by Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka executed
in favour of Thippa Reddy who is the successful auction
purchaser of this property which is mentioned as
Schedule III of Ex.P21 given to Swede India as this
company Swede India liquidated. If we peruse the
document Ex.P2, the same boundaries and extent which
is mentioned in Ex.P.21 Schedule III ie,towards northern
side of this property, is shown as Whitefield main road.
Since there is mistake crept while mentioning Sy.No, the
typographical error is rectified by executing Ex.P3
rectification deed. Thus on perusal of the documents
produced by the plaintiff, the same boundaries which are
mentioned in mother deeds Ex.P14 gift deed dated
13.11.1978, Ex.P21 dissolution deed dated 1.03.1987 are
mentioned especially the northern boundary which is
shown as Whitefield Main Road.
76. Now coming to the documents of the defendant is
130
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
concerned, defendant purchased 28 guntas of the land in
Sy. No. 132/4A as per Ex.D8 and 10 guntas of the land in
Sy. No. 132/4B under Ex.D9 dt. 10.09.2007. Pw1 as well
as DW1 in their cross-examination admitted that they
have not surveyed the lands before the purchase of their
lands. The defendant has produced and got marked the
documents Ex.D 1 to Ex.D46. The documents Ex.D1 to
Ex.D7 are all marked during the course of cross-
examination of PW1. The defendant has mainly relied on
the documents Ex.D8 certified copy of sale deed dated
10.09.2007 to contend that they purchased 28 guntas of
land in Sy.No. 132/4A i.e., Schedule A Property and
document Ex.D9 certified copy of sale deed dated
10.09.2007 by contending that they have purchased
1008.50 Sq. Meters. i.e., Schedule B property. Ex.D32
and Ex.D33 are the rectification deeds dated 23.03.2016
and 21.03.2016 for rectifying the boundaries. It is
pertinent to note that in view of the orders passed by
Hon'ble High Court in WP. No. 39376/2013 (LB-BMP) the
court was appointed DDLR as a Commissioner inorder to
demarcate the lands in Sy.No. 132/1, 132/2, 132/3, 132/4
131
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
and to submit report. Accordingly, DDLR surveyed the
land, prepared the sketch. But DW1 in his examination in
chief has deposed that DDLR has not surveyed the land
as per the survey records and he has not fixed and
boundaries to the survey no. 132/1 to 132/4. The court
commissioner has prepared his report only on the basis
of title deeds of the parties. The report of the court
commissioner do not speak about the exact land used for
formation of road in Sy.No. 132/1 and available land in
Sy.No. 132/1. DW1 has deposed that the report of
commissioner is not helpful to the parties to resolve the
disputes among them. DW1 in his cross-examination also
admitted the suggestion that he has not accepted the
commissioner report i.e., DDLR Report and sketch. Thus
even though DDLR as per the order of Hon'ble High Court
in WP No. 39376/2013 prepared sketch and submitted
the report, the defendant has not acceptable the same.
The defendant relied on the documents such as Ex.D7
statement of objection filed by High Court government
advocate to the report of Commissioner in WP. No
51470/2016. He has relied on the document Ex.D19
132
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
certified copy of orders dated 30.03.2017 passed in WP.
No. 8366/2016 to 8370/2016 (KLR-RES), Ex.D20 and 21
copy application filed under RTI and endorsement issued
by DDLR. Ex.D23 copy application dated 4.06.2016
issued by DDLR under RTI Act. Ex.D24 copy of letter
dated 24.04.2016 issued by DDLR under RTI Act. Ex.D25
copy of intimation letter issued by DDLR. Ex.D26 copy of
sketch issued by DDLR. Ex.D27 copy of letter dated
20.04.2016 issued by DDLR. Ex.D28 copy of letter dated
12.01.2017 issued by DDLR. Ex.D29 copy of objections in
W.P.No. 51470/2016 issued by DDLR under RTI. Ex.D30
copy of reply of court commissioner dated 8.09.2014
issued by DDLR under RTI Act. Ex.D31 copy of notice
dated 23.07.2014 issued by DDLR under RTI Act. The
learned senior counsel for the plaintiff while addressing
the arguments submitted that as per Ex.D25 notice
dated 15.09.2016, it was issued by tashildar. It was
issued only to the defendant and not to the plaintiff. He
submitted that no such notice was issued to the plaintiff
either by tashildar or by ADLR, DDLR inorder to conduct
survey and to prepare sketch. He submitted that as per
133
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
Ex.D31 also it was issued only to the defendant. He
submitted that as per Ex.D26 sketch, it was signed on
20.09.2016. He submitted that the Hon'ble High Court in
WP. No. 51470/2016 granted stay order dated
29.09.2016. Interim order extended until further order as
per order dated 28.10.2016. When there is a stay by
Hon'ble High Court, any such alleged report submitted by
Tahsildar, ADLR, DDLR, JDLR have no evidentiary value, it
cannot be looked into. He submitted that the defendant
has not moved any application before Hon'ble High Court
to accept the survey reports which are produced by the
defendant in this suit. The Hon'ble High Court not
accepted any such report. There is some force in the
arguments of the learned counsel for the plaintiff. The
Hon'ble High Court in WP. No. 51470/2016 passed stay
order on 29.09.2016. According to the defendant, on the
same day survey was conducted. There is no document
to show that whether survey was conducted prior to
passing stay order by Hon'ble High Court or after passing
Stay order. But fact remains that as on the date of
survey, on 29.09.2016, the Hon'ble High Court granted
134
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
stay. It is not the contention of the defendant is that the
survey report was submitted to Hon'ble High Court in WP
No. 51470/2016 and the present defendant moved any
application before Hon'ble High Court to accept the
sketch and reports of DDLR which are all produced in the
present suit. Since there is no document on the side of
the defendant to show that DDLR report and sketch was
accepted by Hon'ble High Court in writ petition, this court
of the opinion that these documents relied by the
defendants i.e., report and sketch prepared by DDLR are
not having evidentiary value. More than that there is no
document to show that prior to conducting such survey,
the plaintiff and other adjacent owners were issued with
notice. There was also stay passed by Hon'ble High Court
in WP. No. 51470/2016 as on the date of the alleged
survey. Hence this court of the opinion that the DDLR
report and sketch relied by the defendant cannot be used
in evidence under Order XXVI Rule 9 and 10 of CPC. If we
exclude the DDLR report and sketch relied by the
defendant, there are no other sketch or report of any
authorities such as surveyor, ADLR, DDLR, JDLR, Tashildar
135
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
to show who are in possession of which portion of the
lands in Sy.No. 132/1. 132/2, 132/3, 132/4. The other
documents relied by the defendant is that Ex.D10
certificate issued by the BBMP, Ex.P11 extract of ledger
pertaining to houses and vacant sites, Ex.D15, copy of
Tippani, Ex.D34 and 36 Khatha Certificate, Ex.D35 and
37 assessment extracts, Ex.D38 11 tax paid receipts. All
these revenue documents cannot overtake the title
documents of the properties. In other words the title
documents prevails over the revenue documents when
dispute arose between the parties with regarding to
ownership and possession over the properties.
77. Now coming to the property of the defendant is
concerned, it is the contention of the defendant is that
he is the owner of the schedule A & B properties, as he
purchased the same under the registered sale deeds
Ex.D8 and D9 and which rectified by way of Rectification
Deeds Ex.D32 and Ex.D33. It is the specific contention
of the defendant is that the plaintiff has encroached upon
19 ½ guntas of his land out of A-schedule property as
136
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
well as B-schedule property, which is mentioned by him
as Schedule - C property. On the other had, the plaintiff
would dispute the identify, measurement, boundaries of
A & B schedule properties of the defendant. It is the
contention of the plaintiff is that schedule - C property
mentioned by the defendant in his pleadings is not at all
in existence. Hence, question of encroaching over C-
schedule property does not arise at all. Since the
plaintiff has taken specific contention that the defendant
is not the owner of the property, within the boundaries as
mentioned in A-schedule and B-schedule in his pleadings
as well as there exists no such C-schedule property.
Under such circumstances, we have to verify whether the
property A & B schedule which are mentioned by the
defendant in the pleadings can be identified or such
property is in existence as contended by the defendant.
As I already noted that both the parties have admitted
the documents Ex.P14/Ex.P39 = Ex.D39 i.e. registered
Gift Deed executed by H.R. Guruva Reddy in favour of
K.C.Rajaram. Both the parties have admitted the
document Ex.P16/Ex.P40=Ex.D18 exchange deed
137
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
entered into between K.C.Rajaram and H.N.Anandaram
Reddy. Both parties have admitted Ex.P19 / Ex.P38=
D.17 sale deed executed by H.N.Anandaram Reddy in
favour of K.C.Rajaram with respect to 28 guntas in
Sy.No.12/4. It is not in dispute that as on the date of
formation of partnership firm KAYCEE Industrial Estate,
K.C.Rajaram was the owner of 5 acres 18 guntas of land
in Sy.No.132/1, 132/2, 132/3, 132/4. It is not in dispute
that the total measurement of the lands in Sy.No.
Sy.No.132/1, 132/2, 132/3, 132/4 are measuring 5 acres
18 guntas including karab 14 guntas. Since the plaintiff
as well as defendants admitted all these documents
Ex.P14=D39, Ex.P16=D18, Ex.P19=Ex.D17, both the
parties cannot dispute the total extent of land in these
Sy.No.132/1, 132/2, 132/3, 132/4. Since both the parties
are claiming their right over the property based on these
title deeds and also based on Ex.P21=D31, dissolution
deed of partnership firm, they cannot deny the
boundaries and extent which are mentioned in all these
documents. According to the defendant schedule - B
property i.e. measuring 1008 Sq. mtrs. (10 guntas of
138
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
land) purchased by him from Tyche India (P) Ltd. It is not
in dispute that Tyche India (P) Ltd got this property
under Ex.P21 dissolution deed. Hence, in order to
identify the property of the defendant i.e. 10 guntas of
land purchased from Tyche India (P) Ltd and A-schedule
property, we have to look into the mother deeds
Ex.P19=D17 sale deed executed by H.N.Anandaram
Reddy in favour of K.C.Rajaram and also documnt
Ex.P21=D31 dissolution of partnership under which
Tyche India (P) Ltd got the property. On perusal of the
document Ex.P19=D17 schedule of 28 guntas of land
which sold by H.N.Anandaram Reddy to K.C.Rajaram is
mentioned as part of Sy.No.132/4 in extent recently
exchanged with under the registered exchange deed for
equal extent 132/3 bounded on east by Tank-bund, west
by wet lands of Patel Guruva Reddy , North by our own
land of Sy.No.132/4 (part) and South by Inam land. The
boundary which is mentioned in Ex.P21 given to Tyche
India (P) Ltd. under Schedule - II for the land measuring
1008.50 sq.mtrs with factory building measuring 900.29
sq.mtr. which is mentioned as towards east by property
139
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
land Sy.No.131 and tank-bund, west by part of
Sy.No.132/4, belonging to the first party (refers to
K.C.Rajaram), north by land in Sy.No.132/4 belongs to
first party (refers to K.C.Rajaram), South by private land
and Tank-bund.
78. Now prior to discussing further, we have analyze
under Ex.P21 actual situation of land given to Tyche is to
be considered. According to Ex.P21 document, the land
measuring 1008.50 sq.mtrs. (10 guntas) given towards
eastern side of land in Sy.No.132/4. If we read
boundaries mentioned in Ex.P21 i.e. land given by Tyche
India (P) Ltd, towards western side of that land, there is
mention that there exist part of Sy.No.132/4 belongs to
first party (K.C.Rajaram), towards eastern side private
land Sy.No.131/1 and Tank-bund. No doubt, towards
north land in Sy.No.132/4 belongs to K.C.Rajaram and
towards south private land and tank-bund is mentioned.
Why this court is stressing on the eastern boundary and
western boundaries, because it has to be say under
Ex.P21 land which was given to Tyche India (P) Ltd was
140
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
situated towards eastern portion of the land bearing
No.132/4. That is because in Ex.P21 itself, the western
boundaries mentioned as part of Sy.No.132/4 belongs to
K.C.Rajaram.
79. Now the document Ex.D9 sale deed dated
10.09.2007 relied by the defendant can be looked into.
This sale deed executed by Director of Tyche India (P)
Ltd. in favour of the defendant with respect to land
measuring 1008.50 sq.mtrs.in Sy.No.132/4, wherein also
the eastern boundary is mentioned as private land, Sy.
No.131 and Tank-bund. When we compare boundaries
mentioned in Ex.D9 with Ex.P21 except southern
boundary, wherein survey number is mentioned and all
other sides boundaries tallies with Ex.P21. It is not in
dispute that the defendant had filed suit against Thippa
Reddy, auction purchaser of the property in Sy.No.132/1
to 132/4 of Swede India Pvt. Ltd. While filing the suit
against Thippa Reddy in O.S.No.7161/2011 present
defendant has mentioned B-schedule property therein
which measuring 1008.50 sq.mtrs. in Sy.No.132/4 which
141
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
bounded towards east by private land Sy.No.131 and
tank-bund, west by part of Sy.No.132/4, north part of
Sy.No.132/4, south by private land Sy.No.131 and tank
bund. That means the present defendant while filing the
suit against Thippa Reddy has mentioned the same
boundary as mentioned in Ex.D9. Thus, according to the
defendant as on the date of filing of the suit in
O.S.No.7161/2011 his property in Sy.No.132/4 measuring
1008.50 sq.mtrs is abutting to Sy.No.131 and tank bund,
towards eastern side and remaining portion of the same
survey in Sy.No.134/4 towards west.
80. Now coming to the rectification deed relied upon by
the defendant and boundaries mentioned in B-schedule
property, which boundary is mentioned is to be looked
into. The defendant has produced document Ex.D32
copy of rectification deed dated 23.03.2016 with respect
to the land measuring 1008.50 sq.mtrs. Wherein the
boundaries of this property is mentioned as east by land
bearing Sy.No.138, west by land bearing Sy.No.136, North
by part of Sy.No.132/4, south by remaining portion of
142
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
land bearing No.132/4. The defendant has mentioned the
very same boundary in his plaint in O.S.No.2835/2016.
During the course of cross examination of DW1 the
village map which is admitted by him marked as Ex.P76.
If we look into the village map, the land which are
surrounded to the land bearing Sy.No.132 towards north
Sy.No.126, towards east Sy.No.131 and 138. The entire
land in Sy.No.138 is lake, towards south Sy.No.137 and
Sy.No.138 lake, towards west Sy.No.134, 135, 136. If we
look into the village map as per Ex.P76, there is no such
survey numbers 131 abutting to Sy.No.132/4. Now if we
combine read the document Ex.P21, Ex.D9, Ex.D32 and
Ex.P76 we can say that the land in Sy.No.136 is situated
towards western side of land bearing Sy.No.132/1. As per
Ex.P21 dissolution deed, Tyche India (P) Ltd was not
given any land abutting Sy.No.136. As per Ex.P21
towards western side of the land given to Tyche India (P)
Ltd there exists portion of same land Sy.No.132/4 belongs
to K.C.Rajaram. Now by way of Ex.D32 rectification deed
what they made is, they stretched the land upto
Sy.No.136 towards west. If we read Ex.P21 dissolution
143
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
deed the land measuring 1008.50 sq.mtrs. given to
Tyche India (P) Ltd is abutting to the land bearing
Sy.No.131 towards east and abutting to remaining land of
K.C.Rajaram, towards west. That means the land which
was given to Tyche India (P) Ltd. as per ExP21 was
situated towards eastern portion of the land bearing
Sy.No.132/4. After withdrawal of the suit in
O.S.No.7161/2011, the Tyche India (P) Ltd and
defendants have made rectification deed as per Ex.D32
and changed boundary of the land bearing Sy.No.132/4
measuring 1008.50 sq.mtrs. and they have shown the
western boundary as land bearing Sy.No.136, which is
nothing but extending land east to west i.e. from
boundary of Sy.No.131 to boundary of 136. Any land can
be identified based on its boundary and measurement.
When the measurement of the land measuring 1008.50
sq.mtrs. which given to Tyche India (P) Ltd, was not
changed, how can that land stretched upto boundary of
Sy.No.136 towards western side is not made known in
this suit. Which indicates that the defendant trying to
locate the land which purchased from Tyche India (P) Ltd
144
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
to the different place, than its original existence. In other
words, the land which is mentioned in Ex.D32
rectification deed was not at all given to Tyche India (P)
Ltd under Ex.P21 dissolution deed. Even though there is
no dispute regarding land measuring 1008.50 sq.mtrs. in
Sy.No.132/4 was given to Tyche India (P) Ltd. under
Ex.P21 dissolution of partnership deed. But since there
after the boundaries of this land was changed especially
towards western boundary by stretching upto Sy.No.136
the entire land is not identifiable. Admittedly, the land
bearing Sy.No.132/4 totally measure 1 acres 5 guntas. It
was originally belongs to K.C.Rajaram, who got it under
Ex.P14 Gift Deed from his grand father H.R.Guruva
Reddy. No doubt, after he got this land under Gift Deed
he has exchanged 28 guntas by giving the same to
H.N.Anandaram Reddy in order to have property in
Sy.No.132/3 measuring 28 guntas. After this exchange
deed as per Ex.P16 again K.C.Rajaram purchased the
exchanged 28 guntas Iand in Sy.No.132/4 from
H.N.Anandaram under Ex.P19=ExD.17. Thus,
K.C.Rararam as on 24.11.1979 became the owner of
145
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
entire land in Sy.No.132/1 to 132/4. Since K.C.Rajaram
was the owner of the entire land in Sy./No.132/1 to 132/4
he should have known the boundaries of his entire land
measuring 5 acres 18 guntas. As I already noted in Gift
Deed, in dissolution deed, northern boundary is shown as
White Field main road. It was K.C.Rajaram who himself
along with other partners have mentioned the said
boundaries as White Field main Road as northern
boundary.
81. According to the defendant, he had purchased A-
schedule property i.e. land bearing Sy.No.132/4
measuring 28 guntas from K.C.Rajaram. First of all, this
court has to make note as to how K.C.Rajaram got this
property in Sy.No.132/4. It is undisputed fact that
K.C.Rjaram had got this property Sy.No.132/4 totally
measuring 1 acre 5 guntas under Gift Deed Ex.P14=D39
dated 13.11.1978. As per this Gift Deed , the boundaries
to the land bearing Sy.No.132/4 measuring 1 acre 5
guntas is mentioned as towards East - Tank-bund, West -
private land, North - land bearing No.132/3 belong to
146
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
Anandaram Reddy South - Toti Inam land. It is admitted
fact that as K.C.Rajaram got exchanged 28 guntas out of
1 acre 5 guntas with H.M.Anandaram Reddy, at that time
his property in Sy.No.132/4 reduced to 17 guntas and
then again as he repurchased the land measuring 28
guntas from H.M.Anandaram Reddy as per sale deed
dated 24.11.1979, then K.C.Rajaram again became
owner of the entire land bearing Sy.No.132/4 as on the
date of sale deed. It is pertinent to note that
K.C.Rajaram contributed the land measuring 4 acres 30
guntas to the partnership firm, only after he purchased
28 guntas of land under Ex.P19=D17 from
H.M.Anandaram Reddy. As on the date of dissolution of
partnership firm in view of Ex.P21 dissolution deed dated
01.03.1987, K.C.Rajaram was the owner of the remaining
extent of the land in Sy.No.132/4 excluding land
contributed to the partnership firm KAYCEE Industrial
estate. One thing is to be noted here that after purchase
of land from H.M.Anandaram Reddy under Ex.P19 dated
24.11.1979 and no separate document made by the
parties showing in which survey number, how much
147
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
property was contributed to the partnership firm. In other
words, it can be said that K.C.Rajaram has contributed 4
acre 30 guntas of land to the partnership firm, without
mentioning the extent of the land in each survey number
i.e. Sy.No.132/1 to 132/4. As on the date of dissolution of
partnership firm i.e. as on the date of execution of Ex.P21
dated 01.03.1987 as K.C.Rajaram was also owner of the
remaining lands in Sy.No.132/4 he should have
mentioned what was the actual extent of land in
Sy.No.132/4 given to Swede India Ltd. No doubt there is
mention in Ex.P21 is that the land which was given to
Tyche India (P) Ltd was the land bearing Sy.No.132/4
measuring 1008.50 sq.mtrs. but it is not mentioned in
Ex.P21 what was the extent given to Swede India in
Sy.No.132/4. In Ex.P21 the total measurement of the
land given to Swede India is mentioned as 18211.50
sq.mtrs. in Sy.No.132/1 to 132/4. It is also not mentioned
whether this area of 18211.50 sq.mtrs. including kharab
land measuring 14 guntas in Sy..No.132/1 or excluding
the kharab land measuring 14 guntas. Since while giving
land to Tyche India (P) Ltd as well as Swede India Ltd.
148
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
the extent is mentioned in square meters, without stating
the karab land, we have to presume that it is all usable
land i.e. without karab land given to Swede India and
Tyche India (P) Ltd. Merely because, as per Ex.P20 there
is clause that photkarab as per rules to be reserved to
Government u/S/67 of Karnataka Land Revenue Act, 1964
it does not presupposes that while giving land to Swede
India measuring 18211.50 sq.mtrs it included 14 guntas
of karab land. K.C.Rajaram is the main party to the
document Ex.P21 who was the owner of this properties
bearing Sy.No.132/1, 132/2, 132/3, 132/4 which
contributed to the partnership firm. If at all under Ex.P21
while giving full extent of land measuring 18211.50
sq.mtrs. to Swede India it included 14 guntas of karab
land what prevented them to mention in Ex.P21 that this
extent of 18211.50 sq.mtrs. Includes karab land is not
explained in Ex.P21. The Deputy Commissioner while
passing conversion order as per Ex.P20 has not
mentioned the converted lands in sq.mtrs. The Deputy
Commissioner passed an order as per Ex.P20 converting
land measuring 4 acres 30 guntas( by mentioning it by
149
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
acres and guntas) out of Sy.No.132/1 to 132/4, without
making bifurcation regarding in which survey numbers,
how much lands were converted into non-agricultural
land. Even though there is no mention in Ex.P20
regarding the extent of land in square mtrs. but in
Ex.P21 dissolution deed, the land which was given to
Swede India and Tyche India (P) Ltd are mentioned in
Sq.Mtrs. As I already noted that northern boundary of
the property measuring 18211.50 sq.mtrs. given to
Swede India is mentioned as K.R.Puram - White Field
Road. K.C.Rajaram who knows about the boundary and
extent mentioned in Ex.P21 given the land measuring
18211.50 sq.mtrs. to Swede India without retaining any
land for himself as partner. The very same K.C.Rajaram
executed sale deed as per Ex.D8 in favour of the
defendant with regarding to 28 guntas of land in
Sy.No.232/4 by mentioning the boundaries as towards
East private land in Sy.No.131 and Tank bund, West
private land and Sy.No.133, North portion of Sy.No.132/4,
South portion of Sy.No.132/4 and private land. While
executing the document Ex.D8 sale deed with respect to
150
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
28 guntas of land. Eastern boundary shown as Sy.No.131
and Tank bund, West private land in Sy.No.133, North
portion of Sy.No.132/4 and South portion of Sy.No.132/4
and private land. If at all there remains portion of
Sy.No.132/4 towards southern side of this 28 guntas of
land to whom that land belongs is a question. The
defendant while filing the suit in O.S.No.7161/2011
against Thippa Reddy mentioned same boundaries and
extent as mentioned in Ex.D.8, in the plaint schedule.
After withdrawal of the suit, rectification deed got
executed as per Ex.D33 wherein the boundaries of this
28 guntas of land are mentioned as east by land bearing
Sy.No.138, west by land bearing Sy.No.136, North by land
bearing Sy.No.132/4 and South by land bearing
Sy.No.137. While executing Ex.D33 there are change of 3
side boundaries i.e. East, West and South. If at all
K.C.Rajaram who actually knows where his 28 guntas of
land was situated he should have mentioned the correct
boundaries in Ex.D8 sale deed dated 10.09.2007 itself.
The learned counsel for the plaintiff rightly submitted
that in O.S.N.7161/2011 Thippa Reddy seriously disputed
151
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
regarding boundaries and its extent and existence of
such property mentioned in plaint in O.S.No.7161/2011.
The certified copy of the written statement filed by
Thippa Reddy marked at Ex.D43, which would go to show
that Thippa Reddy seriously disputed the boundaries,
identify and possession of the plaintiff therein with
respect to A & B schedule properties mentioned in the
plaint. If at all K.C.Rajaram was in actual possession of 28
guntas of land in Sy.No.132/4, he should have mentioned
the correct boundaries of the same in Ex.D8 sale deed
itself. In Ex.D8 southern boundary mentioned as portion
of Sy.No.132/4. It means while executing the document
Ex.D8, the land 28 guntas is shown in the middle of
Sy.No.132/4. But thereafter by way of rectification deed
as per Ex.D33 by changing 3 sides boundary this
rectification deed executed. Why this court has
mentioned regarding the same, because K.C.Rajaram
while dissolving the partnership firm given the
partnership firm property measuring 4 acres 30 guntas to
Swede India and Tyche India (P) Ltd by mentioning the
boundaries of that property given to this two partners.
152
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
Since K.C.Rajaram himself while executing Ex.P21
dissolution of partnership firm admitted northern
boundaries of this entire property is that of K.R.Puram -
White Field main road. Under such circumstances, now
the defendant cannot argued that the plaintiff surged
towards south in order to encroach upon the property
belongs to the defendant which purchased by
K.C.Rajaram. In other words, we can say that the
property which was given to Swede India starts from
K.R.Puram - White Field main road and ends in a portion
of the land bearing Sy.No.132/4. When we peruse the
document, Ex.P76 village map, we can see that the land
bearing Sy.No.131 is situated towards north - east side
direction. The said survey No.131 is almost towards the
eastern side of Sy.No.132/1, which is not touching to the
Sy.No.132/3 or 132/4. The defendant himself produced
document Ex.D1 to 4 Tippani sketch, settlement
document. But strangely while executing Ex.D8 by
K.C.Rajaram eastern boundary of 28 gunta is shown as
Sy.No.131 and Tank bund. On perusal of Ex.P76 map, it
would go to show that the land bearing Sy.No.133 is
153
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
situated towards top of Sy.No.132/4, which abutting to
Sy.No.132/1 towards west. But in Ex.D8 sale deed
western boundary 28 guntas is mentioned as private
land and Sy.No.133. No doubt, the vendor and the
purchaser have right to rectify any deeds, if there is any
mistake crept in, while executing such deed. But fact
remains that while filing the suit in O.S.No.7161/2011 the
present defendant who is plaintiff therein by contending
that he is in possession of the A & B schedule properties,
within same boundaries which are mentioned in Ex.D8
and D9 would contend that he was in possession of that
property as on the date of filing that suit. The plaint
averments or written statement contents made in any
suit are having evidentiary value and any admissions
made in pleading are judicial admissions. The defendant
has not stated anything about while filing the suit in
O.S.No.7161/2011 due to mistake boundaries of his
property are wrongly mentioned. The present plaintiff
has filed suit against the defendant in the year 2014
itself. As per Ex.D41 copy of Memo suit in
O.S.No.7161/2011 withdrawn on 03.06.2016 i.e. after
154
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
filing of the present suit in O.S.No.9024/2014 by the
plaintiff. All these facts indicates that K.C.Rajaram who
executed sale deed in favour of the defendant with
respect to 28 guntas of land in Sy.No.132/4 was not
aware as to where exactly that land was situated.
82. The plaintiff approached this court for the relief of
permanent injunction, specifically contending that the
plaintiff is in possession of 4 acres 20 guntas of land in
Sy.No.132/1 to 132/4 which bounded towards East by
Sy.No.131 and 138, West by Hotel Luri and land in
Sy.No.133, 134, 135, 136, North by White Field main
road, ITPL and South by remaining land in Sy.No.132/4. If
we compare the extent and boundaries mentioned by the
plaintiff in the plaint schedule with Ex.P21 dissolution of
partnership firm, boundaries as well as extent are tallies.
The same boundaries and extent are mentioned by the
official liquidator while executing the sale deed as per
Ex.P2 in favour of Thippa Reddy. When we perused the
documents produced by the plaintiff, the plaintiff has
maintained the same boundaries as well as same extent
155
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
throughout right from erstwhile owners title deeds. It is
the defendants who got changed the boundaries which
are mentioned in Ex.D8 and D9 by way of rectification
deeds Ex.D32 and Ex.D33.
83. The plaintiff's plaint schedule in O.S.No.9024/2014
not only tallies with the document Ex.P14 Gift Deed
dated 13.11.1978, Ex.P21 dissolution of partnership
dated 01.03.1987 and Ex.P2 sale deed executed by the
official liquidator, but also tallies with the subsequent
documents, after the plaintiff started to develop the land
measuring 4 acre 20 guntas in Sy.No.132/1, 132/2, 132/3
and 132/4. The plaintiff has produced documents
Ex.P10/Ex.P45 sanctioned plan dated 07.08.2014 for
constriction of 2B+G+17/18 UF in 4 blocks - ABCD. The
plaintiff has produced documents Ex.P50 NOC dated
29.05.2014 issued by Director General of Police and
Karnataka State Fire Force Department, wherein the sital
area is mentioned as 18210.70 sq.mtrs. equivalent to 4
acres 20 guntas and in Sl.No.10 boundaries which
mentioned are tallies with the plaint schedule
156
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
boundaries. The plaintiff has produced document Ex.P57
modified sanctioned plan dated 09.08.2021 to construct
the additional floor. The plaintiff has produced and got
marked documents Ex.P69, check-list for modified
sanctioned plan issued by BBMP wherein in Col.3 plot
area in sq.mtrs. is shown as 18210.70 sq.mtrs. In col.17
road width is mentioned. Ex.P70 is the corrigendum
dated 11.02.2020 issued by State Level Environmental
Impact Assessment Authority wherein the plot area is
shown as 18210 sq.mtrs. Ex.P71 is final NOC dated
06.02.2020 issued by the Director General of Police and
Karnataka Fire Force Department wherein in col.8 plot are
is shown as 18210.70 sq.mtrs. and the boundaries in
co.11 is mentioned towards north 30.43 mtrs. wide Hoodi
main road, south - private property (vacant land), East -
private property (vacant land), West - Zuri Hotel. Ex.P72
is the modified sanctioned plan wherein the site area is
mentioned as 18210.70 sq.mtrs and area left for road
widening is mentioned as 674.83 sq.mtrs. Thus on
perusal of the oral evidence of PW1 which is supported
by the documents Ex.P21, P2, P4, P5, P7, P8, P10, P50,
157
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
P69, P70, P71, P72 are all shows that plaintiff in
O.S.No.9024/2014 as owner, Developer, JDA holder, in
possession of the 18211.50 sq.mtrs.ie. 4 acres 20 guntas
of land abutting to K.R.Puram - White Field main road.
Even though the defendant would taken the contention
that the plaintiff has encroached 19 guntas of his land in
Sy.No.132/4, but the documents produced by the plaintiff
is shown that since from the date of dissolution of
partnership as per Ex.P21, Swede India continuously in
possession of the property measuring 18211.50 sq.mrs.
(4 acres 20 guntas) and after execution of Ex.P2 sale
deed by Official Liquidator in favour of Thippa Reddy the
same measurement of the property continued with
Thippa Reddy. The very same property is developed by
the plaintiff by constructing 4 blocks A.B.C.D of the
residential apartments.
84. The defendant has taken contention that the
plaintiff has encroached his 'C' schedule property. It is
important to note what is the boundary of 'C' schedule
property mentioned by the plaintiff in O.S.No.2835/2016
(referred as defendant) is to be taken into consideration.
158
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
The defendant in this 'C' schedule property mentioned
the measurement as 19½ guntas in Sy.No.132/4A and
132/4B bounded towards East by land bearing No.138,
West by land bearing Sy.No.136, North by remaining
portion of land bearing Sy.No.132/4, new Sy.No.132/4B,
South by remaining portion of land bearing Sy.No.132/4,
new Sy.No.132/4A (A-schedule property). Thus,
according to the defendant, towards north of schedule -C
property there exists property bearing Sy.No.132/4B and
towards South of schedule 'C' property there exist
remaining portion of the land bearing Sy.No.132/4 i.e.,
Sy.No.132/4A (A-schedule property). According to the
defendant his plaint schedule B-property is situated
towards North of plaint 'A' schedule property. But while
describing schedule - C property, the northern boundary
again shown as Sy.No.132/4B and southern boundary is
shown as 132/4A (A-schedule property).
85. DW1 during the course of his cross examination has
deposed that his schedule B-property come to the North
of schedule-A property. When the questioned was asked
him by the learned counsel for the plaintiff 'can you tell
159
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
the court that where C-schedule of plaint in
O.S.No.2835/2016 is located with reference to 'A' and 'B'
schedule properties respectively of that suit" ?. Then he
answered as 'it is between 'B' and 'A' schedule property
of O.S.No.2835/2016 with 'B' schedule property to the
north and A-schedule to the South as described in plaint
schedule. Thus, according to DW1 his C-schedule
property is situated in between Schedule - A and B
properties that means it sandwiched between A & B
schedule properties. It is not in dispute that the plaintiff
also having property in land bearing Sy.No.132/4. That
means plaintiff's property is towards northern side of the
remaining property of original owner K.C.Rajaram, which
was in Sy.No.132/4. As I already noted that in Ex.P21
while giving the property to Tyche India Pvt. Ltd. the
eastern boundary is mentioned as private land in
Sy.No.131 and Tank band and the western boundary is
mentioned as part of Sy.No.132/4 belongs to the first
party (K.C.Rajaram). According to the defendant he had
purchased the same property of Tyche India Pvt. Ltd. and
he has mentioned the same as Schedule - B property.
160
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
When the property measuring 1008.50 sq.mtrs. which is
situated towards eastern side of the property belongs to
K.C.Rajaram in Sy.No.132/4 is given to Tyche India Pvt.
Ltd. how can the defendant stretch his property
purchased from Tyche India Private Limited till Sy.No.136
towards west is not made known in this case. That itself
indicates that the boundaries mentioned to the B-
schedule property especially western boundary is not
correct one. There is no such chance to have the
property upto Sy.No.136 and to share the boundary with
respect to the property of Tyche India Pvt. Ltd. because
as per Ex.P21 dissolution deed there is no such boundary
mentioned as 136 towards western side. According to
DW 1 the schedule - C property is situated in between A
& B schedule properties. If that is so, it is not possible to
the plaintiff to encroach upon the C-schedule property of
the defendant. No doubt, DW 1 in his cross examination
has deposed that the plaintiff had encroached the entire
B-schedule property and also portion of A-schedule
property totally measuring 19 ½ guntas of land. It is
pertinent to note that DW.1 in his cross examination at
161
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
page 33 deposed that he has also filed suit against the
owners of Sy.No.136 i.e. Total Environment Development
claiming that portion of his plaint schedule A property
has been encroached by them also. DW1 has deposed
that he had field the suit against the Total Environment
Developments in order to recover the land approximately
7 ½ guntas. Thus, according to DW1 it is not only the
plaintiff who encroached his land, but also Total
Environment Developments encroached 7 ½ guntas of
land. The defendant has not produced any sketch to
show the existence of C-schedule property. As I already
noted that the identity of the very B-schedule property is
not proved by the defendant. When we compare the
boundaries mentioned in Ex.P21 with boundaries
mentioned in Ex.D9, it does not tallies with each other,
especially eastern and western boundaries. Since
K.C.Rajaram himself is a party to the document Ex.P21
dissolution deed, the defendant who claiming under the
same document Ex.P21 and also claiming that he
purchased A-schedule property measuring 28 guntas
from K.C.Rajaram now estopped from disputing the total
162
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
extent of land measuring 18211.50 sq.mtrs. given to
Swede India which is in possession of the plaintiff as
purchaser, joint development agreement holder. The
oral evidence of PW1, DW1 and the documents produced
on the side of the plaintiff, would go to show that the
predecessor in title i.e., K.C.Rajaram, Swede India,
Thippa Reddy are all in possession of the property
measuring 18211.50 sq.mtrs. excluding northern side
K.R.Puram - White Field road. Hence, there is no such
property measuring 28 guntas in Sy.No.132/4 available
with K.C.Rajaram in order to alienate the same in favour
of defendant. The boundaries and the measurement
shown in A & B schedule properties by the defendant in
his plaint in O.S.No.2835/2016 is incorrect. The plaintiff
in O.S.No.9024/2014 proved that C-schedule property is
not in existence. The oral evidence of PW 1 which is
supported by title documents, as well as revenue
documents, would go to show that the plaintiff, its
vendors and the property given to the plaintiff for
development were / are in possession of 4 acres 20
guntas of land i.e., 18211.50 sq.mtrs. of land in
163
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
Sy.No.132/1, 132/2, 132/3 and 132/4 as owners. It is now
settled principle of law is that when there is dispute
arose with regarding to boundaries and extent, the
boundaries of the property prevails over its extent. This
principle can be made applicable to the present suit,
because since from the beginning i.e. from execution of
Gift Deed in favour of K.C.Rajaram, the northern bundary
of the property bearing No.132 is mentioned as White
Field main road, which indicates that White Field main
road in existence prior to execution of E.P14 Gift Deed in
favour of K.C.Rajaram. The plaintiff is claiming property
given to Swede India under Ex.P21. In view of my
finding even though it is proved that there is some
property available to K.C.Rajaram in Sy.No.132/4 and also
the property was given to Tyche India in Sy.No.132/4, but
the defendant has failed to prove the boundaries and
actual extent of land available in Sy.No.132/4. It is now
settled principle of law is that in order to decree the suit
for declaration of ownership the parties must prove the
actual extent and identity of the property. On the basis
of mathematical calculation, the civil court cannot decide
164
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
the title or possession by deducting 14 guntas for road
and then calculating remaining lands in Sy.No.132/1,
132/2, 132/3 and 132/4 and cannot hold that 19 ½
guntas of land belongs to defendant is in possession of
the plaintiff. The plaintiff has proved that its vendor and
the persons who have given property for development if
combinedly calculate it was measuring 4 acres 20 guntas
i.e. 18211.50 sq.mtrs. as on the date of filing of the suit,
also the plaintiff is possessing same extent of property
within boundaries mentioned in the plaint schedule. The
plaintiff has proved lawful possession over the suit
schedule property. The defendant has failed to prove
actual measurement, extent, boundaries and identity of
the property which purchased by the defendant under
Ex.D8 and D9 sale deeds and Ex.D32 and D33
rectification deeds. The learned counsel for the
defendant much argued regarding clause 3 of Ex.P20
Special DC Order while converting 4 acres 30 guntas of
land as non agricultural for industrial purpose. It is true
that in Ex.P20, Clause 3 is mentioned as the phut karab
as per rule should be reserved to government U/s 67 of
165
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
Karnataka Land Revenue Act 1964. It is pertinent to note
that as on the date of execution of Ex.P21 partnership
dissolution deed, being one of the partner KC Rajaram
was also owner of 4 acres 30 guntas which contributed to
partnership firm Kaycee Industries, also the owner of the
remaining property in Sy. No. 132/4. In Ex.P21
partnership dissolution deed, by mentioning the northern
boundary of land measuring 18211.50 Sq. Meters given
to Swede India as KR Puram Whitefield road, handed over
the possession of this extent of 18211.50 Sq. meters to
Swede India. Thus according to KC Rajaram, the land
which was given to Swede India starts from KR Puram
Whitefield Road in northern side. It is important to note
the description of Schedule property which is mentioned
in Ex.D9 with respect to 1008.50 Sq. Meters which sold
by Tyche India to the defendant. The very four lines of
the schedule reads thus " all that piece and parcel of
converted land bearing no. 132/4 of Hoody village (from
Whitefield Main road to Hoodi) KR Pura hobli, Bangalore
South Taluk admeasuring a site area of 1008.50 Sq
meters(10,851.46 Sq Feet) together with factory
166
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
buildings measuring a built up area of 900.20 Sq. Meters.
(9689.75 Sq. Feet.) situated thereon and bounded on
the". Thus on plain reading of the schedule mentioned in
Ex.D9 also, the word (from Whitefield Main road to Hoodi)
finds a place in this sale deed. Thus the defendant who
allegedly purchased the property measuring 1008.50 Sq.
meters from Tychee India admitted that the subject
matter of property starts from Whitefield main road. I
have already noted that in Ex.D9, the western boundary
of this site area measuring 1008.50 Sq. Meters is shown
as part of Sy. No. 132/4. That means, this property which
was given to Tychee India situated in eastern portion of
Sy.No. 132/4. But the defendant and his vendor by
executing Ex.D32 rectification deed located this property
in different place by stretching the western boundary
upto land bearing Sy.No. 136. As a cost of repetition, as
per Ex.D8 sale deed, the southern boundary of 28 guntas
purchased by the defendants is shown as the portion of
Sy.No. 132/4 and private land. Western boundary is
shown as private land and Sy.No 133. eastern boundary
is shown as private land in Sy. No. 131 and tank bund.
167
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
But by way of rectification deed Ex.D33, eastern
boundary is shown as Sy.No. 138, western boundary is
shown as Sy.No. 136, Southern boundary is shown as Sy.
No. 137. It indicates that Sri KC Rajaram who do not
know regarding his remaining actual extent existed in
Sy.No. 132/4 and who do not know where actually his
remaining land in Sy.No. 132/4 is situated by mentioning
some boundaries executed sale deed as per Ex.D8 in
favour of the defendant. Hence this court held that even
though KC Rajaram was having some lands in Sy. No.
132/4 but he is not having the land to the extent of 28
guntas as mentioned in Ex.D8 within the boundaries
mentioned in Ex.D8 as well as Ex.D33. The land which
was given to Tychee India as per Ex.P21 dissolution of
partnership deed was eastern portion of Sy.No. 132/4.
But now the defendant after got executed Ex.D32
claiming B Schedule Property till the boundary of Sy.No.
136 towards western side. Hence it can be held that A
and B Schedule property claimed by the defendant is not
in existence by way of actual measurement and by
actual extent and within boundaries as claimed by the
168
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
defendant. This court of the opinion that Schedule C
property claimed by the defendant is not in existence.
Since the defendant has failed to prove actual extent and
actual boundaries of A and B Schedule properties, it
cannot be held that the defendant is the owner of A and
B Schedule properties. The Property which was given to
Ms. Tychee India Pvt Ltd under Ex.P21 dissolution of
partnership deed is not tallies with the B schedule
property claimed by the defendant. Since K.C. Rajaram
himself admitted the northern boundary of Sy.No. 132/1
is of Whitefield Main road as per Ex.P14 Gift deed, as per
Ex.P21 dissolution of partnership deed,the defendant
who claiming under KC Rajaram is estopped from
disputing the northern boundary of the property which
given to Swede India which purchased by Sri Thippa
Reddy under public auction and the very same property
as a purchaser, as a developer under JDA developed by
the plaintiff. The plaintiff successfully proved that the
plaintiff is the absolute owner and in possession of entire
4 acres 20 guntas i.e., 18211.50 sq. meters of property in
Sy. No. 132/1, 132/2, 132/3, 132/4. The defendant has
169
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
failed to prove the identity, extent and ownership of A
and B schedule properties mentioned in OS No.
2835/2016. The defendant has also failed to prove that
the plaintiff encroached 19 and half guntas i.e., C
Schedule Property. Hence I answered Issue No. 1 in OS
No. 9024/ 2014 in the affirmative, Issue no. 3 and 4
dated 17.03.2021 framed in OS No. 2835/2016 in the
affirmative, Issue no. 1 and 2 dated 17.03.2021 and issue
no. 1 and 2 dated 20.06.2017 framed in OS No.
2835/2016 in the negative.
86. Issue no. 5 in OS No. 2835/2016: In view of my
finding on issue no. no. 1 to 4 framed on 17.03.2021 and
issue no. 1 and 2 framed on 20.06.2017, as the
defendant company failed to prove the identity, extent of
A and B schedule properties thereby failed to prove its
ownership and possession over A and B Schedule
properties, this court of the opinion that the defendant is
not entitled for the relief of declaration of ownership over
A and B Schedule property and recovery of possession of
C Schedule property and also not entitled for the
170
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
consequential relief of injunction as prayed for. Hence I
answered Issue no. 5 in negative.
87. Issue No. 2 in OS No. 9024/2014:- The plaintiff
company has successfully proved that it is in lawful
possession of plaint schedule property as on the date of
the suit. The defendant has admitted that the plaintiff
has already constructed the multi-storied apartments.
The total extent of the land i.e., 4 acres 20 guntas in
equivalent to 18211.50 sq.meters which is in possession
of plaintiff tallies with the mother deed Ex.P21 dissolution
of partnership deed. Same property which was given to
Swede India Pvt Ltd after its winding up purchased by H
Thippa Reddy in public auction. Official liquidator
executed sale deed as per Ex.P2 in favour of Thippa
Reddy with respect to the same property of M/s. Swede
India Telectronics Ltd. The plaintiff as a purchaser of 1
acre 10 guntas of land, as a joint development
agreement holder of 1 acre of land of H Thippa Reddy
and 2 acres 10 guntas of land of legal heirs of D
Anjaneyalu constructed multi-storied apartment. The
171
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
plaintiff has proved lawful possession over the suit
schedule property as on the date of the suit. The very
contention of the defendant is that plaintiff encroached
on its property is sufficient to hold that the defendant
interfered with the plaintiff's possession over the suit
schedule property. DW1 also deposed regarding the
police complaints. There is sufficient evidence to show
the interference made by the defendants over plaintiff's
possession of the suit property. Hence I answered issue
no. 2 in OS No. 9024/2014 in the affirmative.
88. Issue No. 3 in OS No. 9024/2014 and Issue no.
4 dated 20.06.2017, Issue no. 6 dated 17.03.2021
framed in OS No. 2835/2016:- In view of my findings
on afore said issues, as the plaintiff in OS No. 9024/2014
successfully proved its lawful possession over the suit
property and threatened interference by the defendants,
the plaintiff is entitled for the relief of permanent
injunction as prayed for. Since the defendant has failed
to prove its ownership and possession over A and B
Schedule properties and also failed to prove
172
O.S.No.9024/2014 C/W 2835/2016
encroachment of C Schedule Property by the plaintiff, the
defendant is not entitled for relief of declaration and
possession and relief of injunction as prayed in OS No.
2835/2016. Hence I proceed to pass the following.
ORDER
The suit of the plaintiff in OS No. 2835/2016 is hereby dismissed.
The suit of the plaintiff in OS No. 9024/2014 is hereby decreed.
The permanent injunction is granted restraining the defendants, their agents or anyone claiming through them in OS No.9024/2014 from dismantling or removing the metal sheet barricade/ compound enclosing the schedule property and/or from interfering in any manner the plaintiff's construction work and/or possession of the plaintiff over the Plaint Schedule Property.
The parties shall bear their own cost. Draw decree, accordingly.
Office shall keep the original Judgment in O.S. No. 9024/2014 and copy of the judgment in OS No. 2835/2016.
(Dictated to SG-I, transcribed by him, corrected and then pronounced by me in the open court on the 3 rd day of JANUARY 2026).
