T.Lakshmipathi & Ors vs P.Nithyananda Reddy & Ors on 31 March, 2003
[6]. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the
plaintiff being in possession of the land on the strength of sale
deed was entitled to ad interim injunction till final decision of the
suit. Learned counsel relied upon T. Lakshmipathi and others
vs. P. Nithyananda Reddy and others, (2003) 5 SCC to
contend that one of the co-sharer cannot take exclusive
possession of the property, nor committ an act of waste, ouster
or legitimate use of the land as by doing so, he would render the
whole of the property unfit for the use of other co-owners and
great prejudice would be caused to the co-sharers as the act of
one of the co-sharer would amount to ouster of others without
there being any exclusive possession of other co-owners.
[7]. Learned counsel for the petitioner also submitted that
co-owner cannot raise construction before getting the land
partitioned as it would affect the rights of other co-owners.
Defendants cannot be permitted to raise construction over a
specified portion of joint land so as to deprive other co-sharers
from the use of joint land. By doing such act, defendants would
violate the concept of co-sharership. In the aforesaid context,
