Therefore, the plaintiff requested for appointing them as an agent
of Court Receiver and handover the possession of the Room No. 27
without any royalty.
7. None of the defendants opposed the application by filing
their say. Heard Ld. Advocate S.S.Redekar for the plaintiff.
Perused Notice of Motion. Plaintiffs are claiming possession of
Room No. 27 and appointing them as an agent of the Court
Receiver. One intervenor Mr. Sameer Sawant has filed Chamber
Summons No. 1425 of 2019 adding him as a party on the ground
that he is in occupation of Room No. 27. The aforesaid Chamber
Summons was came to be rejected vide order dated 16.09.2019.
Admittedly, during pendency of the present suit, my Predecessor
vide order dated 29.03.1996 passed in Notice of Motion No. 2599
of 95 appointed Court Receiver in respect of the entire property.
Accordingly, the Court Receiver on 16.07.1996 obtained the
possession of the entire building. The Court Receiver prepared its
report and list of occupants. The Court Reciver time to time
visited the building and filed its report on 19.07.2016, 04.06.2003,
23.07.2003, 18.08.2003, 19.09.2003, 23.09.2003, 01.10.2003,

8. On perusal of the above reports, the Court Receiver
mentioned that Room No. 27 was found locked having name plate
of Mr. Peter Pareira. It is not in dispute that the Mr. Sameer
Sawant filed Chamber Summons No. 1290 of 2003 against the
order or sealing of Room No. 19. My predecessor vide its order
dated 07.11.2003 dispose off the said Chamber Summons. It was
observed in the order that the applicant was in possession of Room
No. 19 and Room No. 27 was found to be locked. Thus, after
considering the aforesaid material, it is clear that Room No. 27 is
locked having name plate of Mr. Peter Pareira. Therefore, in order
to avoid the wastage and damage of the Room No. 27, prayer of
the plaintiff needs to be accepted so that the property can be
maintained. Therefore, in my view, the Notice of Motion needs to
be allowed. Thus, I proceed to pass the following order.
ORDER
1. Notice of Motion No. 507 of 2018 is made absolute in terms
of prayer clause “a”.
2. Court Receiver is directed to hand over the possession of the
Room No. 27, 1st Floor, Krishna Kunj, 4th Dadiseth Road,
Babulnath, Mumbai – 400 007 to the plaintiff as Agent of
the Court Receiver without payment of any royalty.
3. The plaintiff’s report be forwarded to this Court by the Court
Receiver.
