Headnotes / Summary

Ss.42 & 54

Suit for declaration and permanent injunction

Pleadings of the parties showed that no dispute existed about specific Survey number and all the Courts also had found no controversy in that regard

Courts, including the High Court had found that parties were owners in equal shares so far as said Survey number was concerned

Controversy in the case was confined to another Survey number

Respondents had claimed that by virtue of an agreement they were the owners in possession of suit-land while appellants had claimed its ownership to the extent of one half of share in respect of said suit-land

Prima facie, no agreement was available in respect of said another Survey number

Decree for permanent injunction passed in favour of respondents in respect of said another Survey number was not maintainable

Courts below and High Court were under mistaken impression that a compromise was effected in respect of the said Survey number during the earlier litigation

Order of High Court was set aside by the Supreme Court and matter was remanded to the Trial Court which would proceed in accordance with law.
