Business: Advocate S. S. Lanke for Plaintiff present.
Advocate Ajay Mistry for Defendants present.
ORDER ON NM NO.3036/18
This Notice of Motion is filed by Plaintiff for directions to Defendants to restore Plaintiffs possession over suit structure no.55 (Old Hut no.3885) situated at SRA Co-operative housing Society Federation Waswani Marg, Ganeshmruti Nagar, Part-2, behind Backbay depot, Cuffe Parade, Colaba, Mumbai-400 005. Plaintiffs have further prayed for appointment of court commissioner with directions to him to visit suit structure and to make inventory of the articles belonging to Plaintiffs which are lying in suit structure and to submit the report to the court.
Plaintiff no.1 has filed his affidavit in support of Notice of Motion contending that Plaintiffs have filed suit u/s 6 of Specific relief Act in respect of suit premises referred above. It is alleged that Defendants have forcibly dispossessed Plaintiff from suit premises on 30/05/2018 and Plaintiffs have no other accommodation in Mumbai, hence they are required to take shelter on road without roof on t heir head. Plaintiffs are having documentary evidence to show that Plaintiffs were in possession of suit structure, hence according to Plaintiffs court can pass interim order directing Defendants to forthwith handover possession of suit structure to Plaintiffs.
Defendant no.1 has filed affidavit in reply and resisted the Notice of Motion contending that Plaintiffs have no locus-standi to file the suit and to occupy suit premises temporarily. Plaintiff have played fraud by producing sham and bogus documents for getting orders from the court. It is alleged that contentions raised in plaint and Notice of Motion are false and Plaintiffs have indulged themselves in criminal Acts by committing offenses. With the help of those contentions Defendant no.1 has payed to dismiss the Notice of Motion.
Heard Plaintiffs advocate as well as Defendants advocate. Perused plaint and documents annexed to it. It is noticed that Plaintiffs have prayed for decree directing Defendants to restore Plaintiffs possession over suit structure. Thus, on perusal of plaint and Notice of Motion t is noticed that prayer clause (a) of the Notice of Motion is as like the final relief claimed in the suit. If such a relief will be granted without giving the parties opportunity to prove their rival contentions, it will amount to grant pre-mature decree without giving the opportunity to parties to prove their contentions on merits, hence I find that reliefs as claimed in prayer clause (a) of the Notice of Motion can not be granted. Further, in prayer clause (b) of the Notice of Motion Plaintiff s have sought for appointment of court commissioner for visiting suit premises and for preparing the inventory of articles of Plaintiffs which are allegedly lying in suit structure. It is settled principle of law that court commissioner can not be appointed for collecting evidence for any of the parties. Further, even if such a court commissioner will be appointed the question will arise as to how commissioner can ascertain the fact that articles lying in suit structure belong to which person. In such circumstances, no purpose will be served by appointing Court commissioner. Plaintiffs will have to prove before the court by adducing cogent evidence the fact that articles lying in suit structure belong to Plaintiffs or they are owned by Plaintiffs and evidence for proving those articles to be of Plaintiff can not be collected through court commissioner. Hence, I find that relief as prayed in prayer clause (b) of Notice of Motion can not be granted. Hence, I proceed to pass following order-
ORDER
Notice of Motion no.3036 of 2018 stands disposed off / dismissed.
Parties are directed to file draft issues on next date.
