THESE APPEALS, COMING ON FOR FURTHER ARGUMENTS, THIS DAY, JUDGMENT WAS DELIVERED THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HANCHATE SANJEEVKUMAR ORAL JUDGMENT MFA No.5118 of 2025 is filed by the plaintiff in O.S.No.4241/2019 challenging the order dated 09.06.2025 passed on interlocutory application (I.A) filed under Order XXXIX Rules 1 and 2 read with Section 151 of CPC in O.S.No.4241/2019 on the file of XXIV Additional City Civil and Sessions Judge, Bengaluru City (CCH No.8)1, thereby, I.A filed for seeking to grant an order of temporary injunction was rejected. Whereas, MFA No.2542 of 2020 filed by defendant No.1 in O.S.No.4241/2019 challenging the order dated 18.02.2020 passed on I.A.No.1 filed under Order XXXIX Rules 1 and 2 read with Section 151 of CPC in O.S.No.4241/2019 on the file of XXXIV Additional City Civil and Sessions Judge, Bengaluru, thereby, the 1 hereinafter referred to as ‘the Trial Court’ for short - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:45732 MFA No. 5118 of 2025 C/W MFA No. 2542 of 2020 application filed for seeking to grant an order of ad-interim exparte temporary injunction was allowed. 2. For the sake of convenience and easy reference, the parties are referred to as per their rankings before the Trial Court. 3. The application I.A.No.1 filed by the plaintiff against the defendants seeking to grant an order of exparte ad-interim temporary injunction was allowed restraining the defendants from interfering with the plaintiff’s right to use the sump tank situated in the ‘C’ schedule property till disposal of the suit. The application I.A. filed by the plaintiff for grant of an order of temporary injunction restraining the defendants from locking the gate provided on the northern side of the ‘A’ and ‘B’ schedule properties facing Armugam Mudaliar Lane and from removing the CCTV cameras put up on the ‘A’ schedule property facing towards the common passage morefully detailed in the ‘C’ schedule property was rejected. - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:45732 MFA No. 5118 of 2025 C/W MFA No. 2542 of 2020 4. Sri. S.G. Bhagavan, learned counsel appearing for the appellants in MFA No.2542 of 2020 submitted that if a suitable direction is issued to the Trial Court to dispose of the suit as expeditiously as possible, that would meet the ends of justice. Hence, prays to issue directions for time bound disposal. 5. Considering MFA No.5118 of 2025, which is preferred against the order passed on I.A. filed under Order XXXIX Rules 1 and 2 read with Section 151 of CPC, rejecting the application filed for making use of the common passage is concerned, it is an admitted fact that the plaintiff is owner of the ‘A’ schedule property and defendant No.1 is owner of the ‘B’ schedule property. There is a common passage between the ‘A’ and ‘B’ schedule properties of 8 feet width. What the plaintiff is praying for is to keep open the gate put up on the northern side of 8th passage till 11.00 p.m. As the area towards southern side is declared as no parking zone; therefore, the only access to the shop of the plaintiff is - 6 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:45732 MFA No. 5118 of 2025 C/W MFA No. 2542 of 2020 through the northern side gate and now the gate is closing at 8.00 p.m. If the said gate is opened till 11.00 p.m., then the plaintiff would be able to shift the materials through this gate till 11.00 p.m. Hence, at the most, it is prayer of the plaintiff to keep the gate open till 11.00 p.m. 6. Defendant No.1 in the written statement has admitted that the said 8 feet passage is the common passage. Though the learned counsel for the defendants submitted that it is not a common passage and by placing reliance on the materials such as gift deed and lease deed that the said lane is private lane of site No.729, Chickpet building. But in the written statement, defendant No.1 admitted that it is an 8 feet common passage. Whether this is made inadvertently or not, whether it is private lane is the question for trial to be considered in the suit, but prima facie, the admission made by defendant No.1 is that it is a common passage as found in paragraph No.7 of the written statement. - 7 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:45732 MFA No. 5118 of 2025 C/W MFA No. 2542 of 2020 7. Considering these aspects, any how the gate is open till 8.00 p.m. and if the said gate is kept open till 11.00 p.m. for making the plaintiff to shift the materials through the gate that would not cause much injury or loss to defendant No.1. Hence, the only limited prayer made by the plaintiff is to keep open the gate till 11.00 p.m. and thereafter let the defendant No.1 lock the gate at 11.00 p.m. is to be considered positively. Therefore, the question is only for extension of 3 hours’ time keeping open the gate for another 3 hours. Hence, the appeals be disposed off with a direction to defendant No.1 to keep the gate open till 11.00 p.m. and after 11.00 p.m., defendant No.1 may lock the gate; till then, the plaintiff has access to make use of the gate towards the northern side. 8. This access made to the plaintiff till 11.00 p.m. shall not enable the plaintiff to claim any right over it till decision in the suit. After locking the gate at 11.00 p.m., let defendant No.1 keep the keys of the gate himself. - 8 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:45732 MFA No. 5118 of 2025 C/W MFA No. 2542 of 2020 9. With these observations, the appeals are disposed off. Also, the Trial Court is directed to expedite the trial and dispose of the suit as expeditiously as possible.
