Moreover, the 6th respondent is claiming his title through registered sale deeds said to have been acquired by him in the year 1984 and 1985.

It is further observed that in view of the temporary injunction granted by the competent Civil Court in favour of the petitioner, the 3rd respondent was clearly precluded to conduct any enquiry in respect of the extent held by the petitioner herein, which is suit schedule property. 7. In view of the above, the present Writ Petition is disposed of directing the 3rd respondent not to make any enquiry in respect of an extent of the land held by the petitioner against which the 6 competent Civil Court already granted temporary injunction. However, the 3rd respondent is at liberty to conduct an enquiry other than the suit schedule property as mentioned above in respect of the other extents of land in survey No.296/2.
