    Order on Notice of Motion No.524 of 2020
         Perued notice of motion, affidavit in support of it and written statement. I have heard learned counsels of both sides. It is contention of learned counsel of plaintiff Shri. Singh that plaintiff is a social worker. He is serving society by providing education to people. His trust is taking care of suit plot since last 40 years. State of Maharashtra is owner of suit property. Plaintiff requested defendants to safe guard suit property by removing encroachers and trespassers. But defendants did not take any action against encroachers therefore plaintiff filed this notice of motion for appointment of court commissioner to visit suit site and submit his report about possession of the suit site.
         Shri. Khatib learned counsel for defendants submitted that this suit was filed in 2008. Issues were framed in 2011. Now this notice of motion is filed to prolong the suit. Commissioner cannot be appointed to ascertain possession of possession over suit property. This notice of motion is beyond scope of order 26 rule 9 of Civil Procedure Code. Plaintiff has not locus standi to file such notice of motion. He prayed for rejecting this notice of motion with cost.
         I have thoughtfully considered submissions of both sides. It appears suit was filed in 2008. Issues were framed in 2011, thereafter affidavit of examination in chief was also filed, thereafter this notice of motion was taken. This notice of motion is also pending from year 2020. Admittadly plaintiff is not owner of suit property. He claims that he is protecting suit property from trespassers. But he avoids to say that he is also a trespasser. Order 26 Rule 9 of C.P.C. deals with appointment of court commissioner for making local investigation. Ascertainment of possession is not mentioned in Rule 9. Plaintiff has to prove his contentions by adducing evidence on record. Rule 9 of order 26 of C.P.C. cannot be utilised to collect evidence of possession of suit property. With these observations I pass following order
    ORDER
    1. Notice of Motion No.524 of 2020 is rejected.
    2. Notice of Motion No.524 of 2020 stands disposed off.
