JUDGMENT 1. The instant appeal is filed by appellant-defendant to challenge judgment and decree dated 24.07.2018 passed by Additional District Judge No. 1, Sriganganagar (for short, learned trial Court) decreeing the suit of the respondent-plaintiff for possession of dwelling house situated at 5A Chhoti, Tehsil and District Sriganganagar. 2. Learned trial Court, upon appreciation of evidence, decreed the suit of respondent-plaintiff. 3. At the outset, learned counsel for the appellant has abandoned challenge to the judgment and decree passed by learned trial Court but has prayed for granting him reasonable time to handover vacant possession of the suit property to the respondent-plaintiff. Mr. Kotwani, learned counsel for the appellant has prayed for granting him two years time to handover possession of the disputed property. 4. Per contra, Mr. Sandhu has though agreed to grant reasonable time to the appellant for handing over vacant possession of the disputed property but has objected for granting him two years time. 5. After due deliberations, both the counsel have agreed that vacant possession be handed over by the appellant to the respondent-plaintiff on or before 30.04.2020. 6. The aforesaid arrangement is arrived at between rival parties inspired by the concept of Lok Adalat. 7. In view thereof, while maintaining the judgment and decree passed by learned trial Court, the appellant-defendant is allowed time to vacate the disputed property and handover possession to the respondent-plaintiff in terms of compromise. The appellant- defendant shall handover vacant possession of the suit property to the respondent-plaintiff on or before 30.04.2020 and during the interregnum shall not create any encumbrance, inasmuch as, neither he shall alienate, i.e., mortgage, sale or otherwise part with possession of the suit property so as to create third party interest. 8. Learned counsel for the appellant shall furnish an undertaking before the learned trial Court within a month to the effect that he shall handover peaceful vacant possession of the suit property on or before 30.04.2020 and shall not create any encumbrance, mortgage, sale or otherwise alienate it so as to create any third party interest. He shall also furnish a copy thereof before this Court along with his affidavit.
He shall also furnish a copy thereof before this Court along with his affidavit. It is made clear that in case the appellant-defendant does not adhere to his undertaking then it will be open for the respondent-plaintiff to get the decree executed forthwith even before the aforesaid date, i.e. 30.04.2020, and the respondent-plaintiff may also initiate contempt proceedings in this Court against the appellant- defendant. 9. In view thereof, the instant first appeal is dismissed subject to the observations made hereinabove. 10. A copy of this judgment be sent to the learned Court below forthwith.
