Sh. Bharat Singh vs Municipal Corporation Of Delhi on 25 February, 2015
4. In his written statement, D3 has stated that present suit was filed without
any cause of action because he (D3) had merely repaired his already
existing construction which had been raised before year 1968. Further, D1
had no right, title or interest in the suit property as the same had already
been given to D3 in partition. Further, present suit was not appropriately
valued for the purpose of court fees and jurisdiction. He has further stated
that an electric pole was affixed by the Government in year 1960 when the
Village was electrified. Even then, the construction was in existence and
Suit No. 315/09/03 Bharat Singh v. MCD & Anr. 3 of 17
electric pole was installed near the property in question, meaning thereby
the suit property was not in public gali. Further, the present suit was not
maintainable as equally efficacious remedy could be obtained by
proceedings for removal of alleged construction/encroachment from public
way under Section 133 Cr. P.C. He has denied all other allegations/claims
made by the plaintiffs in his plaint.
