He submits that in this background petition under Order 39 Rules 1 and 2 read with section 151 of C.P.C. has been filed for grant of temporary injunction which was dismissed. He further submits that the learned court dismissed the same by order dated 27.05.2022 and against that order the petitioners filed Misc. Appeal No. 3/2022 before the Court of learned Principal District Judge, Hazaribagh and the said appeal was also dismissed vide order dated 16.01.2023. He then submits that both the courts have erred in considering the spirit of Order 39 Rules 1 and 2 and in view of that the said orders may kindly be quashed and temporary injunction may kindly be made. 4. The Court has looked into the order of the learned trial court dated 27.05.2022. The learned court by a reasoned order came to the conclusion that title of the plaintiffs is itself in dispute and in view of that the said petition was dismissed. Learned court has also found that defendants had purchased the suit property by registered deed and by the impugned order the learned appellate court has also affirmed the same considering the reason and giving its own finding. 5. If such a situation is there, the plaintiffs’ title is itself in doubt and the petitioners have not been able to prove their possession and in that view of the matter the learned court has found three ingredients that is prima facie balance of convenience and irreparable loss has not been made out by the plaintiffs and in view of that those orders have been passed. 3 6. There is no illegality in the impugned orders. No case of interference is required. Accordingly, this petition is dismissed. Pending I.A. if any, stands dismissed. ( Sanjay Kumar Dwivedi, J.)
