Unknown vs Nem on 30 April, 1992
This
2173
has been approved and affirmed by the Apex Court in Ram
Jankijee Deities (supra). None of the witnesses of plaintiffs
(Suit-4) have said that he was present at the time of such
placement. On the contrary, plaintiff no. 3 (Suit-5) , i.e., OPW 2
in his statement under Order X Rule 2 has clearly said that due
ceremonies were performed when the idols were transferred.
Paramhans Ramchandra Das also appeared in the witness box as
OPW 1 and has proved the state of affairs. His presence on the
site at the relevant time has not been doubted either by the
plaintiffs (Suit-4) or their witnesses or before us during the
course of arguments by learned counsels. Some other witnesses
have also proved this fact.
