Bhagwat Narayan Dueby vs Kalicharan on 10 March, 2022
order deserves appropriate interference. In the application filed before
the trial court, the petitioner-plaintiff has stated that the case of
respondent-defendants was that the map filed by petitioner-plaintiff is
false and they are constructing a new room in the land vacant between
the houses of petitioner-plaintiff and respondents-defendants which is
causing blockage in the plaintiff's drain, whereas, the respondents-
defendants have stated in their reply before the trial court that they are
making construction only in the land allotted to them. Thus, in this
case there is dispute regarding the boundaries of the lands of the
petitioner-plaintiff and respondents-defendants and, such issue can be
ascertained by appointing a Commission under Order XXVI rule 9 of
the CPC. Though the object of local investigation is not to collect the
evidence which can be taken in the court but the purpose is to obtain
such evidence, which, from its peculiar nature with a view to elucidate
any point which is left doubtful in the evidence produced before the
Court. This court has considered the scope of Order XXVI Rule 9 of
the CPC and in the matter of Jaswant Vs. Deen Dayal2, and has held
that when there is dispute about demarcation of the property and its
identity and both the parties are claiming it to be their own, it is
incumbent upon the court itself to issue a Commission.
