Learned counsel for the respondent No. 2 submits that the dispute is the petitioner/plaintiff and the respondent No. 1 / defendant No. 1. 4. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. 5. The petitioner/plaintiff filed a suit seeking the above stated relief at the strength of some agreement to sale executed on 21.01.2004 as it is a case of the plaintiff that it was put his of possession by virtue of an agreement. From the perusal pleading it appears that for almost so may year the petitioner / plaintiff does not appear to have acted upon execution of the sale agreement which is only in the year 2023 the civil suit was filed after issuing of legal notice. The civil Judge while deciding the application in
3 paragraph Nos. 8 & 9 held that as per the revenue record the suit property appears to have been recorded in the name of respondent No. 1 / defendant No. 1. Prima facie the learned Civil Judge found that respondent No. 1 / defendant No. 1 is title and possession holder in the suit property. Sofar as the possession of petitioner / plaintiff, in paragraph No. 9 of the order it has categorically given a finding there is no documents with regard to possession of the petitioner / plaintiff has been filed. Thus, on that basis, the learned Civil Judge found that three ingredients. i.e. prima facie case; balance of convenience and irreparable loss is not in favour of the petitioner/ plaintiff. The finding of fact which has recorded by the learned Civil Judge has also been affirmed by the District Judge. 6. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of M/s Puri Investments Versus M/s young friends and co. & Ors. reported in 2022 Live law (SC) 279 has held that three situations were spelt out in the judgment under appeal as to when a finding on fact or question of law would be perverse. These are: (I) Erroneous on account of non-consideration of material evidence or, (ii) Being conclusions which are contrary to the evidence, or (iii) Based on inferences that are impermissible in law.”
7. This Court is of the view that both the Court below has not acted illegally or with material irregularity there is not jurisdiction error while passing the impugned order. 8. Thus, this writ petition fails and is hereby dismissed. 9.
