Sundaramurthy, learned counsel appearing for respondents 5 and 6.
3. Sri. Dhananjaya Joshi, learned Senior Counsel appearing for the petitioner invited the attention of the Court to
order dated 01st July, 2019 (Annexure-Y) passed in Writ Appeal Nos.5875-5877/2017 particularly to paragraph 5 therein and contended that, though the Original Suit No.753/2018 is filed seeking relief of permanent injunction, the Division Bench of this Court had made an observation that the said suit is filed for declaratory relief. In this regard, learned Senior Counsel, by placing the judgment and decree dated 21st August, 2024 passed in Original Suit No.753/2018 on the file of the III Additional Civil Judge and JMFC., Shivamogga contended that, both the respondents 2 and 3 have misconstrued the aforementioned aspect and passed the impugned orders, which requires interference in the present petition.
4. Per contra, Sri. W.M. Sundaramurthy, learned counsel appearing for respondents 5 and 6 submits that the respondents 5 to 9 are claiming right over the property in question based on the registered Sale Deed and accordingly,

the respondents 2 and 3 have passed the impugned orders based on the order passed by the Division Bench of this Court in Writ Appeal Nos.5875-5877/2017. Accordingly, he submits that the impugned orders passed by the respondent-Authorities are just and proper, which does not call for interference by this Court in the present petition.
5. Smt. B.P. Radha, learned Additional Government Advocate appearing for respondents 1 to 4 sought to justify the impugned order passed by the respondents 2 and 3.
6. In the light of the submission made by learned counsel appearing for the parties, on careful examination of
order dated 01st July, 2019 (Annexure-Y) passed in Writ Appeal No.5875-5877/2017, it is forthcoming that the Division Bench of this Court at paragraph No.5 had observed that the parties have to establish their right over the property in question before the Competent Civil Court. In that view of the matter, taking into consideration the fact that, both the respondents 2 and 3 have also relegated the petitioner to establish right over the property in question before the competent Civil Court, I am of the view that, no interference be called for in this petition.
