ORAL JUDGMENT
1. Heard the learned counsel for the appellant and the learned counsel for the respondents. The appellant’s counsel submits that there was a mistake in filing the suit while showing the boundary on the western side showing the property of one Ramanna's property and the same was a mistake made while filing the suit and now the appellant has realised that on the western side of the property is the property of respondent No.1. 2. The counsel appearing for the respondents also not disputes the fact that his property is on the western side of the property of the plaintiff and mistake was crept in while filing a suit and which lead the two Courts to comes to such a conclusion in dismissing the suit. 3. Having heard the appellant’s counsel and also the counsel appearing for the respondent in view of the submission of the respective counsel and only mentioning the boundary description an error was crept in filing the

HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:26073 RSA No. 1796 of 2023
suit wherein they have shown the property of Ramanna on the western boundary of the plaintiff and it was a mistake and now the appellant has realized the same. 4. The counsel appearing for the respondent No.1/defendant No.1 would contend that on the western side of the property of the plaintiff, his property is situated and he is also in possession of the property and counsel would submits that even plaintiffs are also in possession of the property and due to the error crept in the suit showing the boundary on the western side of the plaintiff, this litigation was continued. In view of the said discussion and also amendment made to the plaint averments showing the western boundary of the property of the defendant and also the plaintiff placed on record voluminous document with regard to the title is concerned since the suit is filed for the relief of declaration and injunction and defendant No.1 is also not claiming any title in respect of the property of the plaintiff.
When such material available on record and the documents which have been produced

before the Court both plaint and written statement and chief evidence in O.S.No.24/2013, RTC extracts, certified copy of sale deeds at Ex.P.7 and Ex.P.8 which are title deeds of the plaintiff, tax paid receipt, RTC extract, report and survey sketch. The Trial Court and Appellate Court also carried away with mentioning of the boundary on the western side of the different persons property instead of respondents and hence, I am of the opinion that matter requires re-consideration in view of the submissions of the respective counsels and no need to frame any substantive question of law since there is no any dispute to decide the same and only dispute is with regard to showing of boundary on the western side of the property one Mr.Ramanna instead of showing the boundary of defendant No.1/respondent No.1. Hence, the judgment and decree of dismissal of the suit before the Trial Court and also the confirmation made by the First Appellate Court is reversed in view of the correction made to the plaint with regard to western boundary taking into note of

HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:26073 RSA No. 1796 of 2023
the material when there is no dispute with regard to the title of the plaintiff is concerned, granted the relief of declaration as well as the plaintiff is in possession in respect of the property which the plaintiff claims and also the appellant/plaintiff also not disputes that on the western boundary of the plaintiff’s property, the defendant No.1 is also in possession of his land. Hence, permanent injunction is also granted in favour of the appellant. 5. In view of allowing I.A.No.2/2023 by this Court, the appellant’s counsel is directed to amend the plaint on the western boundary as sought in the I.A.No.2/2023.
The Trial Court is directed to permit the appellant to correct the plaint western boundary since the respondents also not disputes the same. Accordingly, the second appeal is allowed granting the relief of declaration and injunction in respect of the suit property as amended. Sd/- (H.P.SANDESH) JUDGE
