JUDGMENT Devi Prasad Singh, J.—Heard Shri Shafiq Mizra, learned counsel for the petitioner and Shri Vinod Kumar Singh, learned counsel for the private respondents (Caveator). Counter-affidavit was filed by Shri Vinod Kumar Singh, on behalf of Caveator (private respondents). Shri Shafiq Mirza, advocate submitted that the writ petition may be heard and he does not intend to file rejoinder-affidavit. In view of above on 16.2.2004 after hearing parties counsel, the order was reserved in the present case. Now I proceed to decide on merit. Petitioner had filed a regular suit No. 189 of 2002 against the defendant respondent Nos. 2 to 7 for permanent injunction with the prayer that respondents may be restrained from interfering with the petitioner possession of the premises in question. According to petitioner the property in question was orally gifted to his wife Smt. Saeedul by one Hazi Peer Baksh which includes, a shop, on 27.9.1985. On the other hand, the case of the respondent Nos. 2 to 7 is that late Hazi Peer Baksh had by an oral gift dated 25.10.1980 transferred the property in question in their favour. 2. It has been fairly admitted by Shri Shafiq Mirza learned counsel for the petitioner that claim of both the parties is based on oral gift. He further submits that plaintiffs are the sons of the brother of the wife of original owner whereas defendants are brother and brothers son of the original owner. Shri Shafiq Mirza submits that the trial court had passed an order of temporary injunction directing the parties to maintain status quo, which was just and fair order. Since the plaintiffs are in possession of land in question, he assailed the order of appellate court submitted that defendant are not in the possession of the land in suit and the order passed by appellate court amounts to give a free hand to the defendant to raise pakka construction which will change the nature of suit. The appellate court had interfered without recording any reason. Shri Shafiq Mirza has relied upon the judgment of this Court in Ram Kalap v. IVth Additional District Judge, Gorakhpur and another, 1990 RD 15 ; Satya Prakash and another v. Ist Additional District Judge, Etah, 2002 (2) AWC 1368 : AIR 2002 All 198 , and a case of Apex Court in Wander Ltd. v. Antox India Pvt. Ltd., 1991 (9) LCD 290. 3. 3. On the other hand, Shri V. K. Singh, learned counsel for the private respondents submits that the defendant respondents are in possession of land in question and they are running a hotel in the shop existing in the premises in question. He submits that the house in question is in dilapilated condition, having a shop No. 263C recorded in the register of Municipality. He further submits that the defendant is in possession of house as well as shop in question and on account of order of status quo passed by the trial court the plaintiff petitioners were interfering with day to day hotel business of the defendant, running in the shop. 4. While discussing the evidence on record the trial court had considered the material produced by the defendant which shows that the name of defendant Nazim Ali was recorded in municipality register at the place of Hazi Peer Baksh. It has also been observed by the trial court itself that mutation took place on the basis of application submitted by Shri Nazim Ali. Trial court further held that the entry in the municipality record does not decide the title of the property in question. Only by the entry in the municipality register question relating to title cannot be decided. The trial court while passing the order of status quo had given emphasis on the title of the parties in question. When a question comes for the decision of application for temporary injunction, apart from title, the possession also plays a significant role. In case prima facie without recording the evidence the title of the parties cannot be deciphered or assessed then the possession plays important role. More so when a suit is filed for permanent injunction it was incumbent on the trial court to find out which party is seem to be in possession of the house in question. 5. On the other hand, appellate court recorded that in municipality register name of the Nazim Ali has been recorded and assessment has been done in his name. He is making the payment of municipal taxes like house tax, water tax, etc. A copy of the municipal assessment order of 1986-87 filed by defendant was considered by the appellate court, shows that the defendants respondents prima facie seems to be in possession of the premises in question subject to rebuttal by cogent evidence during the course of trial. He is making the payment of municipal taxes like house tax, water tax, etc. A copy of the municipal assessment order of 1986-87 filed by defendant was considered by the appellate court, shows that the defendants respondents prima facie seems to be in possession of the premises in question subject to rebuttal by cogent evidence during the course of trial. The appellate court was also influenced by the licence issued by Khadya Vighag to run the hotel in the shop which is the part of house in question. Copy of the approved plan was also filed by the defendants respondents. The appellate court has also relied upon the application moved by Saeedul Begum wife of Hazi Peer Bux in the Court in the year 1992 in which there is no reference of the alleged gift deed, pleaded in the plaint. It was defendant as per municipal record who have paid the house tax of the property in question as and when, it was due. 6. Along with counter-affidavit sworned by Wazi Bhondu on behalf of defendant respondent Nos. 2 to 7, the extract of entry in the municipality record has been filed relating to the house No. 263 (c), which shows that it has got two rooms having "Khaprail Roof". Endorsement shows that it has been recorded in he name of Shri Nazim Ali, the defendant. The receipt of payment of water tax, house tax has been filed as Annexures-C.A.-2 and C.A.-3 to the counter-affidavit. Licence for the period commencing from 1.4.2001 to 31.3.2002 issued by the department of food in favour of Shri Nazim Ali to run a non-vegetarian hotel, has been filed as Annexure-C.A. 4 to the counter-affidavit. It shows that Shri Nazim Ali runs a non-vegetarian hotel in the Khababchi Gali under licence No. 612. Notice received by Nazim Ali from the Labour Department, have been filed as Annexures-C.A. 5 and C.A. 6 to the counter-affidavit. A copy of Commissioner Report prepared by Shri Zamil Ahmed on 8.1.2003 has been filed as Annexure-C.A.-7 to the counter-affidavit which shows that in the shop which is the part of premises in question a hotel is running. The Commissioner report further reveals that the petitioner’s counsel had received notice but not participated in the Commissioners proceedings. 7. A copy of Commissioner Report prepared by Shri Zamil Ahmed on 8.1.2003 has been filed as Annexure-C.A.-7 to the counter-affidavit which shows that in the shop which is the part of premises in question a hotel is running. The Commissioner report further reveals that the petitioner’s counsel had received notice but not participated in the Commissioners proceedings. 7. In view of these facts and circumstances supported by trustworthy evidence prima facie it appears that defendant respondents are in possession of shop in question and they are running a business of hotel. Influenced by these facts and circumstances, the first appellate court had set aside the order passed by the trial court and permitted the defendant respondents that they shall not raise any pakka construction and even in case it is raised it shall be on their own risk. 8. In the case of Ram Kalap (supra), this Court relying upon the judgment of Supreme Court had held that permitting a party to raise construction with the rider to pull down shall not be appropriate order. In the case of Satya Prakash (supra) this Court while interpreting the provision contained in Order XXXIX, Rules 1 and 2 of Code of Civil Procedure held as under : "….It is settled principles of law that discretion conferred under Order XXXIX, Rules 1 and 2 Code of Civil Procedure in granting or refusing temporary injunction is discretionary and like other cases of discretion is vested in courts which is to be exercised in accordance with reason and sound judicial principles. The sound and judicial principles which govern the exercise of discretion conferred under Order XXXIX, Rule 1 and 2, Code of Civil Procedure upon trial courts are to the effect that a person who seeks a temporary injunction must satisfy the Court, firstly that there is a serious question to be tried in suit to dispel cloud of doubt relating to his entitlement and there is probability of plaintiff being entitled to the relief sought by him. Secondly the Courts interference is necessary to protect him from threatened aspects of injuries enumerated under Order XXXIX, Rules 1 and 2, Code of Civil Procedure which the Court considers irreparable before his legal right can be established on trial. Lastly the comparative inconvenience which is likely to ensue from withholding temporary injunction would be greater than that which is likely to arise from granting it. Lastly the comparative inconvenience which is likely to ensue from withholding temporary injunction would be greater than that which is likely to arise from granting it. Prima facie case is not to be confused with title of the plaintiff which is to be established on evidence but it would be sufficient if substantial question at first sight needs investigation and decision whereas irreparable injury does not mean that there must be no physical possibility of compensating the injuries but it means only that injuries cannot be compensated in terms of money. In ascertaining the balance of convenience, the courts are to weigh and compare the substantial mischief that is likely to be done to the plaintiff. If injunction is refused, it is held that while courts are considering balance of convenience, the Courts are also required to keep in mind the public convenience as well it is well to remember that aforesaid three ingredients are to be proved on affidavits as envisaged under Order XXXIX, Rule 1, Code of Civil Procedure. The power given to Courts to act on affidavits it is not subject to the provisions of Order XIX, Rules 1 and 2, Code of Civil Procedure." 9. It has been further held by this Court in the case of Satya Prakash (supra) that normally the appellate court should not substitute its own discretion for that of the Court from which an appeal has been preferred. It has been further held that in case discretion has been exercised by the trial court reasonably and in a judicial manner the appellate court may not interfere with the order of temporary injunction passed by trial court only on the ground that appellate court may take a different view. In the case of Satya Prakash (supra) this Court further reiterated the settled law for grant of temporary injunction, i.e., fulfilment of all three conditions namely ; prima facie case, balance of convenience and irreparable loss. 10. In the other case of Wander Ltd. and another (supra) Supreme Court ruled that in case the existence of legal right asserted by plaintiff and its alleged violation of both contested are uncertain and remain uncertain then temporary injunction may be granted till the rights are established as a trial on evidence. 10. In the other case of Wander Ltd. and another (supra) Supreme Court ruled that in case the existence of legal right asserted by plaintiff and its alleged violation of both contested are uncertain and remain uncertain then temporary injunction may be granted till the rights are established as a trial on evidence. For convenience para 9 of the Apex Court judgment in Wanders case is reproduced as under : "Usually, the prayer for grant of an interlocutory injunction is at a stage when the existence of the legal right asserted by the plaintiff and its alleged violation are both contested and uncertain and remain uncertain till they are established at the trial on evidence. The Court at this stage acts on certain well-settled principles of administration of this form of interlocutory remedy which is both temporary and discretionary. The object of the interlocutory injunction, it is stated : "…..Is to protect the plaintiff against injury by violation of his rights for which he could not adequately be compensated in damages recoverable in the action if the uncertainty were resolved in his favour at the trial. The need for such protection must be weighed against the corresponding need of the defendant to be protected against injury resulting from his having been prevented from excersing his own legal rights for which he could not be adequately compensated. The Court must weigh one need against another and determine where the balance of convenience lies." The interlocutory remedy is intended to preserve in status quo, the rights of parties which may appear on a prima facie case. The Court also, in restraining a defendant from exercising what he considers his legal right but what the plaintiff would like to be prevented, puts into the scales, as a relevant consideration whether the defendant has yet to commence his enterprise or whether he has already been doing so in which latter case consideration somewhat different from those that apply to a case where the defendant is yet to commence his enterprise are attracted." 11. In the present case both the parties claim title on he basis of oral gift. However, the defendant claims title and possession of property in question on the basis of oral gift of the year 1980 and the consequential entries in the relevant record as discussed hereinabove. In the present case both the parties claim title on he basis of oral gift. However, the defendant claims title and possession of property in question on the basis of oral gift of the year 1980 and the consequential entries in the relevant record as discussed hereinabove. On the other hand plaintiff claims title and possession on the basis of oral gift of the year 1985. 12. While evaluating the right of parties on the basis of material on record prima-facie defendants case carries more weight though defendant also claim the right title and possession of property in question on the basis of the said oral gift of the year 1980. But on the basis of said gift the consequential actions were taken by the defendant which included entry in the municipality records, running of hotel in pursuance to licence issued by the competent authority in the shop in question, payment of house tax, water tax etc. 13. Learned counsel for the petitioner could not draw the attention of this Court to any such material and admissible document which can say that in pursuance to said oral gift of the year 1985 the plaintiff was in active possession of the premises in question. Only the claim in pursuance to oral gift without any follow up action will not make out a prima facie case in favour of plaintiff petitioner. Though it is for the trial court to give finding on the basis of material on record and evidence led by the parties relating to the genuineness of oral gift alleged to be existing in favour of rival parties after due trial but the follow up actions and incidents in pursuance to the gift of the year 1980 the defendant respondents, prima facie established that they have got the prima facie case relating to property in question. 14. Even otherwise in view of law cited by Shri Shafiq Mirza learned advocate for the petitioner the appellate court is not debarred from considering the material evidence on record while substituting its own opinion over and above the trial court. 15. 14. Even otherwise in view of law cited by Shri Shafiq Mirza learned advocate for the petitioner the appellate court is not debarred from considering the material evidence on record while substituting its own opinion over and above the trial court. 15. The trial court while passing an order of temporary injunction under Order XXXIX,, Rules 1 and 2 of Code of Civil Procedure failed to consider and appreciate material evidence on record and passed a mechanical order, hence, the appellate court was having right to consider the material evidence on record and pass appropriate order to safeguard the interest of not only the properties but also the rights of rival claimants, i.e., the plaintiff and the defendant of the suit. 16. In the present case prima facie from the evidence on record it appears that the defendant respondents are in possession of property in question and running a hotel business in pursuance to licence issued by the competent authority. Any vague order which may affect their business will cause irreparable loss to them. The balance of convenience also lies in the favour of defendant. Under the material on record and on the basis of said oral Will of 1980 and the follow up action taken by them and the use of premises in question as the source of livelihood by running a hotel business, there should be clarity in order. So that the defendants may not be deprived from their source of livelihood, during course of trial or pendency of suit. 17. Though to safeguard the property in a suit has got paramount importance but the interest of defendant or plaintiff cannot be ignored in case the property is being used as the source of livelihood, while passing an order of temporary injunction. In the present case a non-vegetarian hotel is run by the defendant. Accordingly the defendants’ right to run the hotel should also be preserved being source of livelihood. Normally such injunction should not be granted which may affect the source of livelihood of a party as it may cause extreme hardship to the party which uses the property as the source of livelihood. 18. Keeping in view the facts and circumstances stated hereinabove the judgment of the learned appellate court seems to be well founded based on well appreciation of facts and law. 18. Keeping in view the facts and circumstances stated hereinabove the judgment of the learned appellate court seems to be well founded based on well appreciation of facts and law. However, in case the suit itself is decided expeditiously, it shall be better mode to settle the controversy creating peace among the parties. In view of above, writ petition is disposed of finally directing the trial court to expedite the case preferably within a period of one year from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order. The plaintiff shall not interfere with the possession of defendant respondent Nos. 2 to 7 during the pendency of suit in the trial court. The defendant respondents shall not raise any pakka construction in the premises in question. However, they will be entitled to raise temporary construction necessary to run their hotel business, in the premises in question during the pendency of suit. In case any temporary construction is raised it shall be subject to the decision of suit in question. With the aforesaid observation writ petition is disposed of finally.
