    Bangalore Development Authority. The written statement
    
    schedule property is one of the sites formed in Sy.No.34/2
    
    of Nagavara Village. The vendor of the defendant purchased
    
    the written statement schedule property from Vyalikaval

    to the tenants from 2010 to till its demolition. The
    
    defendant was dispossessed consequent to the delivery
    
    warrant issued in Ex.No.780/2013. The defendant filed
    
    W.P.No.50828-836/2014 before the Hon'ble High Court of
    
    Karnataka seeking an order to quash the issuance of the
    
    said delivery warrant. After hearing the parties, the Hon'ble
    
    High Court of Karnataka disposed of the Writ Petition vide
    
    its order dated 16.12.2014 directing the defendant to file
    
    application before the executing Court in accordance with
    
    law. Accordingly, the defendant approached the executing
    
    Court by filing the application under Order XXI Rule 97 of
    
    the Code of Civil Procedure to permit the defendant to come
                                            6
                                                            O.S.No.5401/2015
    
    on record as obstructor. The said application was contested
    
    by the plaintiff. Vide order dated 31.03.2015, the City Civil
    
    Court passed an order holding that the Execution Petition
    
    filed by the plaintiff is not maintainable and directed the
    
    plaintiff   to    handover       the   possession       of   the   written
    
    statement        schedule    property        to   the   defendant.     On
    
    09.06.2015, the defendant took the possession of the
    
    written statement schedule property from the plaintiff by
    
    executing the delivery warrant as per the order of the Court.
    
    Thereafter, the defendant is in possession of the written
    
    statement schedule property. He is in the process of
    
    construction of the building in the written statement
    
    schedule property and for which to put up temporary shed
    
    and to obtain electricity connection. Thus, the defendant is
    
    in peaceful possession and enjoyment of the written
    
    statement schedule property. The plaintiff interfered to the
    
    peaceful possession and enjoyment of the written statement
    
    schedule     property       by   the       defendant.   Therefore,    the
    
    defendant has filed this counter claim.
                                    7
                                                 O.S.No.5401/2015
    
    5.   To the counter claim of the defendant, the plaintiff has
    
    filed his written statement. His contentions are that the
    
    defendant cannot file counter claim based on the same
    
    cause of action. If he has any other cause of action, he is at
    
    liberty to file a separate suit. The defendant has no right to
    
    question the orders passed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court.
    
    The questioning of the orders passed by the Hon'ble
    
    Supreme Court will amounts to contempt of Court for
    
    which, the defendant is liable to be prosecuted. The counter
    
    claim of the defendant for perpetual injunction is unknown
    
    to law. The alleged electricity connection to the premises is
    
    standing in the name of the plaintiff and not in the name of
    
    the defendant. The alleged building of the defendant is not
    
    at all in existence. The plaintiff is the purchaser of this
    
    property from its lawful owners by a Sale Deed i.e., acted
    
    upon after the transfer of revenue entries to his name. The
    
    layout where the alleged defendant's site is situated got
    
    canceled by the Bangalore Development Authority. The
    
    challenge of the same was allowed by the Hon'ble High
    
    Court of Karnataka. But, it is stayed by the Hon'ble
                                             8
                                                              O.S.No.5401/2015
    
    Supreme Court. Therefore, the defendant cannot contend
    
    that the layout in which his alleged site is situated is a
    
    legally formed layout. The Khatha of the alleged defendant's
    
    site has been canceled by the concerned authorities
    
    confirming the fact that the defendant is neither the owner
    
    nor has any right or interest over the alleged site. The
    
    alleged   site   owners          as   that   of   the     defendant   have
    
    approached the Society for the refund of the money. The
    
    defendant is also at liberty to claim the money from the
    
    Society if at all he has paid any consideration. The
    
    defendant     without       exclusive        cause   of    action   cannot
    
    maintain the counter claim. Hence, prayed to dismiss the
    
    counter claim.
    
    
    6.   Based on the above pleadings of the parties, the
    
    following Additional Issues are framed on Counter Claim.

    intentionally suppressed the orders passed in Execution

    Petition No.780/2013 and the earlier suits filed by him to

    19. The specific case of the defendant is that the written

    statement schedule property is one of the sites formed by the

    Society in Sy.No.34/2 of Nagawara Village, Kasaba Hobli,

    Bengaluru North Taluk. The document contained Ex.P9 is the

    Final Notification dated 21.02.1986 issued by the

    Government of Karnataka for acquisition of the lands for

    formation of the layout by the Society situated at Nagawara

    Village. The land bearing Sy.No.34/2 was one of the subject

    matters of the said acquisition. The said acquisition

    proceedings were challenged before the Hon’ble High Court of

    Karnataka and it went up to Hon’ble Supreme Court in Civil

    Appeal No.2086-2087/2004 and other Civil Appeals. In the

    said proceedings, out of the total extent of the land notified

    for acquisition, the acquisition of 52 acre 17 guntas of land
    26
    O.S.No.5401/2015

    were quashed. In the said extent of the land quashed, the

    land bearing Sy.No.34/2 is not a subject matter. It is

    forthcoming in the documents marked at Ex.P7. Though, the

    plaintiff while filing the suit as claimed his title and

    possession over the land bearing Sy.No.34/2 of Nagawara

    Village measuring 1 acre 17 guntas, he has abandoned his

    claim by withdrawing the suit and in the written statement

    filed to the counter claim of the defendant, he has not made

    any claim in respect of the said land.

    20. It appears from the documentary evidences produced by

    the defendant at Ex.D2 and Ex.D3 that on 07.05.2004, the

    Society sold the written statement schedule property in

    favour of K.Vikas and handed over is vacant possession to

    him. It appears from the contents of Ex.D4 that pursuant to

    the said sale, the Khatha of the written statement schedule

    property was entered in the name of K.Vikas. It appears from

    the contents of Ex.D5 and Ex.D52 that K.Vikas represented

    by his GPA holder K.Vinay sold the written statement

    schedule property in favour of the plaintiff through registered

    Sale Deed dated 24.01.2006. It further appears from the
    27
    O.S.No.5401/2015

    contents of Ex.D7 to Ex.D17 that pursuant to the Sale Deed

    dated 24.01.2006, the Khatha of the suit schedule property

    transferred to the name of the defendant and he has paid

    property tax up to 2018-2019 in respect of the suit schedule

    property. It further appears from the contents of Ex.D21 to

    Ex.D31 that the defendant has obtained License and

    Approved Building Plan to construct the house in the suit

    schedule property and obtained electricity connection to the

    building in the suit schedule property. These documentary

    evidences produced by the defendant prima-facie proving his

    lawful possession and enjoyment over the suit schedule

    property.

    21. It is admitted fact that the plaintiff filed Execution Case

    No.780/2013 before this Court to issue delivery warrant in

    respect of Sy.No.34/2 situated at Nagawara Village

    measuring 1 acre 17 guntas based on the orders passed in

    Civil Appeal No.930/2012 and its connected cased by the

    Hon’ble Supreme Court. In the said case, the plaintiff

    through the process of the Court took possession including

    the written statement schedule property. Aggrieved by the
    28
    O.S.No.5401/2015

    same, the defendant filed I.A.No.XIX under Order XXI Rule 97

    of the Code of Civil Procedure to come on record as objector

    No.24, I.A.No.XX under Section 151 of the Code of Civil

    Procedure for recalling the delivery warrant and I.A.No.XXI

    under Order XXI Rule 99 and 100 of the Code of Civil

    Procedure to delivery back the possession of the written

    statement schedule property. After hearing the both parties,

    vide order dated 31.03.2015, the said Execution Petition was

    dismissed as not maintainable since the plaintiff herein

    wrongly filed the Execution Petition; obtained the delivery

    warrant by suppressing facts; also obtained order to break

    open lock with Police help and with that order, wrongly

    dispossessed the defendant herein. The Court ordered the

    plaintiff to handover the possession of the written statement

    schedule property to the defendant herein. Ex.D34 is the

    certified copy of the said Order. Challenging the said order,

    the plaintiff filed C.R.P.No.218/2015 before the Hon’ble High

    Court of Karnataka. The reason to say that the above facts

    are the admitted facts, the plaintiff in the plaint as averred

    that the possession of the plaintiff in the suit schedule
    29
    O.S.No.5401/2015

    property was confirmed by the mahazar Report filed in

    Execution No.780/2013 and the order passed in Execution

    No.780/2013 is assailed in C.R.P.No.218/2015. It appears

    from the contents of Ex.D33 that in pursuance to the delivery

    warrant issued directing the decree holder to handover the

    possession of the written statement schedule property to the

    defendant, on 09.06.2015, the possession of the written

    statement schedule property was handed over to the

    defendant.

    22. In the Judgments relied by the learned Counsel for the

    defendant, the Judgments in the cases between Silver Line

    Forum Pvt. Ltd., V/s Rajiv Trust, Bangalore Development

    Authority V/s N.Nanjappa and another, Shamsher Singh and

    another V/s LT. COL. Nahar Singh (D) through LR’s and

    others, Jogendra Kaur V/s Kali Prasad, Ashand Devi V/s

    Phulwasi Devi, Shoban Salim Thakur V/s Chitanya Arora

    and others, Ramadevi V/s Rajeshwari, B.K.Gopala V/s

    Nagarathnamma, Basappa V/s Sambireddy and Ranjith K.G

    and others V/s Sheeba, Periyammal (Dead), through LR’s and

    others V/s Rajamani and another, Brahmadeo Choudhary
    30
    O.S.No.5401/2015

    V/s Rishikesh Prasad Jaiswal and Sriram Housing Finance

    and Investment (India) Ltd., V/s Omesh Mishra Memorial

    Charitable Trust, the law with regard to the adjudication of

    the right under Order 21 Rule 97 to 102 of the Code of Civil

    Procedure by executing Court and its consequences are laid

    down. There is no dispute with regard to the above principles

    of law. By adjudicating the right of the defendant in the

    written statement schedule property, this Court directed the

    plaintiff to hand over the vacant possession of the written

    statement schedule property to the defendant and

    inconsequence thereof, the possession of the written

    statement schedule property was taken by the defendant

    through the process of the Court. Therefore, as on the date of

    filing of the suit, the defendant was in possession of the

    written statement schedule property.

    23. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case between Rame

    Gowda (Dead) by LR’s V/s M.Varadappa Naidu (Dead) by LR’s

    and another held that

    “8. It is thus clear that so far as the Indian
    law is concerned, the person in peaceful
    31
    O.S.No.5401/2015

    possession is entitled to retain his possession
    and in order to protect such protection, he may
    even use reasonable force to keep out a
    trespasser.”

    24. It appears from the evidences produced by the

    defendant both oral and documentary that the defendant was

    in possession and enjoyment of the written statement

    schedule property, he has dispossessed by the plaintiff and

    later on 09.06.2015, the defendant took back the possession

    of the written statement schedule property from the plaintiff

    through the process of the Court.

    25. I perused the oral evidences of DW1 deposed in his

    cross-examination. DW1 in his cross-examination has

    deposed that he is the member of the Society. Though, he has

    not produced any documentary evidences to show that he is

    the member of the Society, it is not demerit to his case.

    Because, the suit schedule property was not allotted to him

    by the Society. It was allotted to his vendor. Therefore, the

    legality of the purchase of the suit schedule property by the

    defendant cannot be questioned by the plaintiff.
    32

    O.S.No.5401/2015

    26. On perusal of the entire cross-examination of DW1, it

    appears that no effective cross-examination is made with

    regard to Ex.D2 to Ex.D4, Ex.D6 to Ex.D34 and Ex.D52 to

    disbelieve the documents produced by the defendant.

    Therefore, from the above documentary evidences, the

    defendant has proved his lawful possession over the written

    statement schedule property.

    27. During the evidences of the defendant, the certified

    copies of the pleadings and order sheets in respect of the

    suits in O.S.No.4297/2015, O.S.No.4374/2015,

    O.S.No.3256/2019, O.S.No.5331/2014, the depositions of

    the plaintiff herein in O.S.No.3256/2019, the deposition of

    the defendant herein in O.S.No.4374/2015, the judgments

    and decrees in O.S.No.1850/2014, O.S.No.1852/2014,

    O.S.No.4374/2015 and O.S.No.4392/2015 are produced by

    the defendant. It appears from the said documents that the

    land bearing Sy.No.34/2 of Nagawara Village was the subject

    matter of the suits filed by the plaintiff herein. No documents

    are produced in respect of the final result of the suits in

    O.S.No.4297/2015, O.S.No.3256/2019, O.S.No.5331/2014
    33
    O.S.No.5401/2015

    and O.S.No.3256/2019. In O.S.No.1850/2014 and

    O.S.No.1852/2014, the written statement schedule property

    was not the subject matter of the suit.

    28. During Cross-examination of DW1, the certified copies

    of the Judgments and Decree in O.S.No.4374/2015 and

    O.S.No.4297/2015 are got marked on admission through

    confrontation on behalf of the plaintiff. DW1 during his cross-

    examination has admitted that the counter claim made by

    him were dismissed under the said Judgments and Decree. It

    appears from the contents of Ex.P.16 and 17 that the written

    statement schedule property herein was also the subject

    matters of the above suit in the counter claims of the

    defendant herein and the said counter claims were dismissed

    on the ground that the title of the defendant herein is under

    cloud; therefore, the suit for bare injunction is not

    maintainable and the defendant herein has not proved the

    cause of action for claiming the relief of counter claim. DW1

    in his cross-examination has admitted that he has not filed

    any appeals challenging the judgment and decree passed in

    O.S.No.4374/2015 and O.S.No.4297/2015. Therefore, the
    34
    O.S.No.5401/2015

    findings in the above suits are reached its finality. It is a

    conclusive proof of the fact in issue involved in the said suits

    and the present suit for the reason that the subject matters

    of the said counter claim and the present suit counter claim

    are one and the same; the defendant herein has claimed the

    counter claim against the plaintiff herein based on the

    similar pleadings and the defendant herein has also relied the

    very same documentary evidences in the said suits.

    29. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case between

    Anathulla Sudhakar V/s S.P.Buchi Reddy (Dead) by LRs. and

    other held that where a cloud is created over the plaintiff’s

    title and he does not have possession, a suit for declaration

    and possession, with or without a consequential injunction,

    is the remedy. Where the plaintiff’s title is not in dispute or

    under a cloud, but he is out of possession, he has to sue for

    possession with a consequential injunction. Where there is

    merely an interference with the plaintiff’s lawful possession

    or threat of dispossession, it is sufficient to sue for an

    injunction simpliciter. As the suit for injunction simpliciter is

    concerned only with possession, normally the issue of title
    35
    O.S.No.5401/2015

    will not be directly and substantially in issue. The prayer for

    injunction will be decided with reference to the finding on

    possession. But in cases where de jure possession has to be

    established on the basis of title to the property, as in the case

    of vacant sites, the issue of title may directly and

    substantially arise for consideration, as without a finding

    thereon, it will not be possible to decide the issue of

    possession. In the present case on hand, there are pleadings

    of the defendant and the evidences produced by the

    defendant that before he was dispossessed by the plaintiff

    from the written statement schedule property, he was in

    possession and enjoyment of the written statement schedule

    property. It is admitted fact by the defendant that he was

    dispossessed by the plaintiff from the written statement

    schedule property and he was out of possession over the

    written statement schedule property, till his possession was

    restored on 09.06.2015. As per the pleadings of the

    defendant and the oral evidences of DW1 as well as the

    documentary evidences produced by the defendant, as

    aforesaid, on 09.06.2015, the defendant took possession of
    36
    O.S.No.5401/2015

    the written statement schedule property through the process

    of the Court. As per the pleadings of the defendant and the

    oral evidences of DW1, he has put up shed and secured

    electric connection to it. The defendant has produced Ex.D21

    to Ex.D31. Among them, Ex.D21 and Ex.D22 are dated

    03.12.2015 and Ex.D23 to Ex.D31 are for the year 2017 i.e.,

    subsequent to filing of the suit and written statement. The

    written statement of the defendant was filed on 13.07.2015.

    Therefore, the said documents cannot be considered as a

    proof of the pleadings of the defendant and the oral evidences

    of DW1 that after restoration of the possession of the written

    statement schedule property, the defendant has put up shed

    and he has secured electric connection to it. The defendant

    has not produced any documentary evidences to show that

    after his possession to the written statement schedule

    property was restored on 09.06.2015, he put up shed and

    secured electric connection to it as averred in the written

    statement deposed by DW1 in his examination-in-chief.

    Though, the documentary evidences like Sale Deeds, Khatha

    documents and Tax Paid Receipts are proving his lawful
    37
    O.S.No.5401/2015

    possession over the written statement schedule property i.e.,

    de facto possession of the defendant, he is not in de jure

    possession of the written statement schedule property. The

    defendant has also not produced any documentary evidences

    to prove that after his possession on the written statement

    schedule property was restored on 09.06.2015, the plaintiff

    interfered with his peaceful possession and enjoyment of

    written statement schedule property. For the above reasons,

    the defendant has proved Additional Issue No.1 and 2. When

    the defendant has not proved Issue No.1 and 2, he is not

    entitle for the relief of permanent injunction as prayed.

    Hence, I answer Additional Issue No.1 to 3 in the Negative.

    30. POINT FOR CONSIDERATION :- By filing I.A.No.XV, the

    defendant alleged that the plaintiff has made false pleadings,

    filed false affidavits, suppressed judicial orders, fraudulently

    obtained an order and misled this Court by making false

    claim regarding possession and cause of action concealing

    the judicial order during the judicial proceedings before this

    Court. There are no evidences in that regard. The plaintiff in

    his plaint has disclosed about the orders passed in execution
    38
    O.S.No.5401/2015

    proceedings. As on the date of filing of the suit, the appeal

    filed challenging the said orders in execution proceedings was

    pending. It was also disclosed by the plaintiff in his plaint.

    Therefore, there is no suppression of facts with regard to the

    execution proceedings. It is true that before filing of the

    present suit, the plaintiff has filed this suits in

    O.S.No.4374/2015 and O.S.No.4297/2015. The said suits

    were filed not only against the defendant herein, but also

    against some other defendants. The plaintiff has withdrawn

    the said suits. It appears from the contents of Ex.D35 and

    Ex.D42 that the said suits were withdrawn by the plaintiff

    after filing of the pleadings of both parties were completed in

    this suit. Therefore, the allegation that the plaintiff

    suppressed the withdrawal of the said suits has no merits.

    The defendant has also not produced any evidences to prove

    the false pleadings and the affidavits filed in the present suit.

    For the above reasons the Judgments relied by the learned

    Counsel for the defendant on I.A.No.XV are not applicable to

    the present case on hand. Under these circumstances, the

    defendant has not shown sufficient reasons to order to refer
    39
    O.S.No.5401/2015

    the matter to Chief Administrative Officer of this Court to

    lodged complaint against the plaintiff before the jurisdictional

    Magistrate under Section 379 of Bharathiya Nagaraika

    Suraksha Samhita, 2023 as prayed in I.A.No.XV. Hence, I

    answer the Point for consideration in the Negative.

    13. ADDITIONAL ISSUE No.4 :- In view of the findings on

    Additional Issues No.1 to 3 and point for consideration, the

    counter claim of the defendant and I.A.No.XV filed by the

    defendant are liable to be dismissed with cost. In the result, I

    proceed to pass the following;

    ORDERS

    The counter claim of the defendant
    and I.A.No.XV filed by the defendant are
    hereby dismissed with cost.

    Draw the decree accordingly.
