    Order on Notice of Motion No.1336 of 2019 in Suit No.376 of 2019
    Perused notice of motion and replies filed by defendants. Heard their counsels.
          This is a dispute between children of Yeshwant Sawant regarding suit property i.e. room No.412, Bhagirath Sadar, Senapati Bapat Marg, Lower Parel, Mumbai. It is contended by plaintiff that Yeshwant Sawant was tenant in Room No.412. He passed away on 29.09.1996. Plaintiff and defendant Nos.1 to 8 were residing in the said room with deceased Yeshwant Sawant. After death of Yeshwant Sawant, defendant No.1 got suit property transferred to his name. Exh. D (page No.33 of plaint) is agreement between deceased and Yeshwant and MHADA. It shows that defendant No.2 was residing with deceased Yeshwant. Learned counsel of plaintiff drew my attention towards signature of Yeshwant on agreement dated 25.05.1988 between him and MHADA and signatures of deceased Yeshwant on alleged application dated 07.10.1995 and affidavit dated 26.09.1995 by which deceased Yeshwant allegedly sought to transferred suit property to defendant No.1. He pointed out that these three signatures are patently different. He submitted that the affidavit is bogus.  I have perused these documents. The signatures on three documents are apparently different.
          Learned counsel of plaintiff drew my attention to letter written by MHADA to defendant No.1 on 30.01.1996 (Exh.I page 44 of plaint). By this letter defendant No.1 was called upon to submit NOC of other legal representatives of deceased Yeshwant but Prakash did not submit NOC of  other legal representatives of deceased Yeshwant. Learned counsel for plaintiff drew my attention to Exh.J (page No.46 of plaint). He submitted that defendant No.1 mentioned in this indemnity bond that he was legal heir of deceased Yeshwant and was entitled to rent receipt in his name. He submitted that other legal representatives of Yeshwant were also entitled to have their names as tenant of said room. He drew my attention towards para No.3 on page No.4 of this indemnity bond in which defendant No.1 undertook to surrender said premises if any other legal heir of deceased Yeshwant calimed interest in the premises. He pointed out that defendant No.1 did not annex no objection of other legal heirs of Yeshwant with his application dated 12.04.1996. He pointed out that the application (page No.52 of plaint) was filed during life time of Yeshwant and in this application different ages of Yeshwant were mentioned. Learned counsel of plaintiff drew my attention towards letter from Estate Manager dated 16.08.1996 by which defendant No.1 was directed to produce NOC of other legal representatives of deceased Yeshwant. The defendant No.1 by letter dated 31.08.1996 (Exh.M) informed Estate Manager that as Yeshwant was alive. There was no question of NOC of other legal representative of Yeshwant. He also pointed that thereafter defendant No.1 was asked to come with original tenant (Yeshwant) and appear before the authority because there is difference in signatures of original tenant.
          In the course of argument I asked learned counsel of defendant No.1 whether after this letter Yeshwant was produced before the authorities. She conceded that Yeshwant was not produced before authorities. Thus one thing is clear that there is appearant difference between signatures of Yeshwant in agreement with MHADA and the documents by which Yeshwant allegedly sought to transferred suit property to defendant No.1 to the exclusion of other legal heirs of Yeshwant.
         Learned counsel of defendant No.1 submitted that the suit is barred by limitation as the plaintiff knew about mutation of name of defendant No.1 in the record of MHADA as the parties had cordial relations during that period. She also drew my attention towards pleadings in written statement of defendant No.1 that defendant No.1 supported entire family of Yeshwant including widows and children of two pre-deceased sons of Yeshwant. As defendant No.1 shouldered the entire responsibility, Yeshwant transferred this room to defendant No.1. This is all a matter of evidence. It cannot be decided without detailed appreciation of evidence of both parties.
           At this stage plaintiff primafacie proved that deceased Yeshwant was tenant of suit property. After his demise, all children of Yeshwant had interest in suit property. If in such circumstances defendant No.1 creates third party interest in the suit property, it will caused irreparable loss to plaintiff. Balance of convinience lies in favour of plaintiff.  In such circumstances discretion needs to exercised in favour plaintiff. He is entitled to relief of injunction as prayed by him. Hence I pass following order;
    ORDER
    1. Notice of Motion No.1336 of 2019 is allowed.
    2. Defendant No.1 is restrained from selling, transferring, disposing of or creating third party interest in the suit property either by himself, or through his agent, servant,relatives ect. during pendancy of this suit.
    3. Notice of Motion No.1336 of 2019 stands disposed off.
    Matter is referred to Lok Nyayalay which is on 09.12.2023.
    Matter adjourned for Lok Nyayalay to 09.12.2023.
