It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the Appellate Court fell in error in allowing the appeal filed by the respondent. It was submitted that the respondents have trespassed on the public way and therefore, the trial court was justified in granting injunction. 9. With reference to various documents i.e. Patta dated 4.8.2014, patta dated 12.8.2004 and sale deed dated 21.8.2014, it was submitted that the respondents-defendants have indicated the area of the land in question differently in different documents, which clearly shows that the defendants have indulged in trespassing on the land of the public way and therefore, the trial court was truly justified in granting injunction. 10. Learned counsel for the respondents supported the order passed by the Appellate Court with reference to the same documents. 11. 10. Learned counsel for the respondents supported the order passed by the Appellate Court with reference to the same documents. 11. I have considered the submissions made by learned counsel for the parties and have perused the material available on record. 12. From perusal of the foundational basis as indicated by the trial court and quoted herein-before, it is apparent that the trial court fell in error in reading the document i.e. Patta dated 12.8.2004. The Patta dated 12.8.2004 pertained to sale of strip of land, on Northern side of respondents' plot, however, the trial court while reading the said document at several places in its finding pertaining to prima facie case has treated the said strip of land which forms subject matter of patta as land of public way, which essentially is a clear misreading of the said document. 13. The entire finding of the trial court is based on such misreading of the document dated 12.8.2004, which the Appellate Court while hearing the appeal has came to the conclusion that the patta dated 12.8.2004 clearly indicates the land in question being that of the defendant and has therefore, rightly reversed the finding. 14. In view of the above, it cannot be said that the order passed by the Appellate Court requires any interference by this Court while exercising its jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India.No case for interference is made out, the writ petition is dismissed.Petition dismissed. *******
