Shankar Vanzari Chawl, now known as Noor Manzil, situated at Sane
Guruji Marg, Jacob Circle, Saatrasta, Mumbai11. Plaintiff No.1 was
tenant thereof. The said old property was demolished and then, it was
redeveloped. After redevelopment, permanent alternate accommodation
has been provided to the plaintiff No.1. It bears room No.216, situated
at 2nd Floor at 273279, Bhandari Chawl and 283Vanjari Chawl, Sane
Guruji Marg, Jacob Circle, Saatrasta, Mumbai11, as described in
paragraph No.3 of the plaint. This is suit premises. According to the
plaintiffs, they are the legal and lawful occupiers of the suit premises as
per the allotment letter, possession letter given by MHADA and
electricity bill, ration card etc. also stand in the name of the plaintiff
No.1. The defendants have no right, title or interest in the suit premises.
It is submitted that the defendant Nos.1 & 2 are trying to dispossess the
plaintiff illegally, whereas, defendant No.3 is looking after the plaintiffs
and plaintiffs have no grievance against defendant No.3. But, he is
impleaded as appropriate party. In such circumstances, the plaintiffs
have requested to grant the aforesaid reliefs against the defendant
Nos.1 & 2.

Judgment .. 5 .. Suit No.860/18
5. I have heard the arguments advanced by the learned Advocate of
the plaintiffs. Following points arise for determination, on which I
record my findings as under, for the reasons to follow :
POINTS FINDINGS
1 Whether the plaintiffs have proved that
they have lawful right to occupy the suit
premises and defendant Nos.1 & 2 have
no right, whatsoever ?
In Affirmative
2 Whether the plaintiffs are entitled for
injunction restraining the defendant
Nos.1 & 2 from entering into the suit
premises ?
In Affirmative
3 What order and decree ? The suit is decreed as per
final order
: R E A S O N S :
AS TO POINTS NO.1 TO 3 :
5. As noted herein earlier, the defendants have not filed written
statement to oppose the aforesaid claim of the plaintiffs. The evidence
of PW1 is as per the pleadings in the plaint, which I have noted herein
earlier elaborately. Evidence of PW1 shows that there was original old
premises in occupation of the plaintiffs. The plaintiff No.1 was tenant
thereof. The said old premises has been demolished and alternate
accommodation has been provided to the plaintiff in lieu of the old
premises. This alternate accommodation is the suit premises. The
property has been allotted in the name of the plaintiff No.1. This is
supported by the documents produced by the plaintiffs, particularly the
allotment letter exhibit10, possession receipt exhibit11, original
possession letter dated 19.04.2011 exhibit12 in the name of the
plaintiff No.1. These documents were issued by the authority of
-- 5 of 7 --
Judgment .. 6 .. Suit No.860/18
MHADA. The plaintiffs have also produced original electricity bill
pertaining to the suit premises. It is also in the name of plaintiff No.1. In
the Ration Card, names of the defendants are mentioned, but that does
not prove that they have any right or interest in the suit premises, so as
to, harass the plaintiffs and to dispossess the plaintiffs from the suit
premises. The evidence of the plaintiff shows that the defendants are
also residing in the suit premises, but as they do not have right and
interest in the suit premises, to stay any more in the suit premises. The
plaintiffs have requested to direct defendant Nos.1 & 2, not to enter into
the suit premises, but the relief as such, appears to be short of the relief
of direction to the defendant Nos.1 & 2 to remove themselves from the
suit premises and then, not to enter into it. Considering the
circumstances of the case, including that the defendant Nos.1 & 2 are
allegedly harassing to the plaintiffs, who are lawful occupiers of the suit
premises, the defendant Nos.1 & 2 may be directed to remove
themselves from the suit premises within a prescribed period and,
thereafter, they may be directed not to interfere in the possession of the
plaintiffs. In these terms, the suit may be decreed and disposed off and,
accordingly, I have answered to the point Nos.1,2 and 3 and, I pass the
following order.
: O R D E R :
1. The suit is decreed as under :
(i) It is declared that the plaintiffs are entitled to occupy
the suit premises to the exclusion of the defendant Nos.1 & 2
and the defendant Nos.1 & 2 have no right to stay in the suit
premises any more, without consent of the plaintiffs.
(ii) By mandatory direction, the defendant Nos.1 & 2 are
directed to remove themselves from the suit premises, within
-- 6 of 7 --
Judgment .. 7 .. Suit No.860/18
six months from today and thereafter, defendant Nos.1 & 2
are directed not to enter in the suit premises without
permission or consent of the plaintiffs.
(iii) In these terms, the suit is disposed off accordingly.
2. Decree be drawn up accordingly.
