L2. Being aggrieved by the same the p esent CMA is filed on the tollowing ground contending thz t the learned Principal District Judge, Khammam having ;one into the entire groun<is have allowed the CMA '1 smissing the I l i I l l i :' i i I I i I t I I I I i I i I s I I t I i I i i t e I I I I t I a 6 I.A.No.598 of 2O15 in O.S.No.255 of 2013 passed by the learned Principal Junior Civit Judge, Kharnrnam and set aside the order passed by learned Principal Junior Civil Judge, Khammam. Being aggrieved by ttre same the present Civil Revision Petition is filed on tJle ground that the learned Judge did not consider the fact that the petitioner/plaintiff has sold the part of her land in the eastern side of the western portion as detailed in the plan annexed in the suit documents and there is no justification whatsoever to ignore the same and evolve a new case craved out basing on some mistake of the western boundar5r in one of the documents and in view of the said reasoning on the entire order while reversing the well- considered trail Court order. Further, the learned Judge failed to see that when the defendants/respondents have not denied Ex.P1 the balance land of Ac.0-26 guntas is still available with the ptaintiff, as it is her lald and ignoring the assertion of the petitioner/plaintiff that a mistake has crept in Ex.P8 on the western boundary and tJrereby set aside the injunction granted by the learned trial Court.

Whether the order passed by r ,etitioner and d the entire which raised oitted bY the setting aside r Civil Judge, rterfering rvith he Junior Civil Judge deserves to be confirmed'
15.

16. On perusal of Judgment passed by the learned trial Court Judge that as there is no dispute that the western side of the land purchased under Ex.Pl which is an undisputed fact and it is the contention of the petitioner that after alienation of larrd under Exs.P8 and P2, the remainin g Ac.O.26 guntas land which was purchased r:nder Ex.Pl, since the learned counsel for the respondent raised the contention that the western side boundar5r was wrongly mentioned as land of Sri M.Narsaiah, as the contentions of the respondent counsel is not supported by ary material document whereas the documents Exs.P8 to P13 would show that there remains AC.O-26 guntas of land to tl.e petitioner and it is supported by the Ex. P2 pattedar passbook, Ex.P3-lEl form and Ex.P4 pahani for the year 2074.In Exs Y2 to P4. 6i 11 L7. Further, It clearly mentioned that fr: petitioner is the owner and possessor of Ac.O.26 guntas o' land' Though there is no dispute regarding the remaining, land of O'26 guntas for western side boundary is stated as tl : father of the respondents No. 1 and 2, but physically the lzu td is available on the ground which is in the possession of the 1 etitioner' But, it is denied by the resPondent.
18. It is contended that the respondent {o.2 alienated the land of Ac. 1 .O8 guntas through registt:: ed sale deed No.l478l2OO6 in favour of Sri Chilakala VenL ata Narayana, but the respondents have not filed tJle said deed before this Court to prove bona-6des' F\t 'egistered sale ther, it is the case of the respondents that the respondent \o.2 alienated Ac.O.22 guntas of land in favour of Chilakall out of Ac.6.2O guntas through a register Parvathamma :d sale deed No.I479 l2O06, to ascertain whether the easterr side land was sold to Sri Chilaka Venkata Narayana and his t wo brothers in said document and the land is mentioned a ; eastern side boundary' to the Ac. 1.O8 guntas, but the resp rndent did not choose to file any document. Further, the r-t spondent filed Exhibit: R4 and R5 which shows that the welrt ern side of the 12 land was sold under Exs.R4 and R5, the land of Sri M.Narsaiah is mentioned.
19. Learned counsel for the respondents submitted that the respondent No'2 raised the cotton crop ald green grarn crop in the land taken on l'ease from Sri Ch' Venkata Narayana and his two brothers and the petitioner is not averredinthea-ffidavitastothenatureofthecropi'e''raised in the petition schedule property. 2C.. On perusal of the entire contentions of the respondents, though it is denied as to the extent of Ac'O '26 guntas as contended by the petitioner/plaintiff, but on perusal of the order passed by the learned trial Judge, who have gone into entire documentar5r evidence placed by the petitioner and as there \.f,Ias no documentar5r evidence placed by the respondents, as the respondents did not choose to hle anv registered sale deed before the Court to prove that the actual boundaries which are existing. But, the learned trial Judge considering the entire material placed and also the documentary evidence which are placed by the plaintiff in the absence of the documentar5r evidence on behalf of the 13 defendant have rightly granted the temp rrary interim injunction in favour of the petitioner/plaintiff. I ut the learned appellant Court without considering the said c r cuments, held that the aspect of the boundary dispute cannol )e gone into at tl.is juncture and further held that having consi lered, that tl.e Ex.P8 prima facie establishes that plaintiff sold ttre land commencing from the land she held with the s arting point of the land of the defendant as the eastern side o: the defendant land and thus the question of alienating th, , suit land in between the land of Ex.P8 and defendant land loes not arise. Thus the aspect of eistence of boundary 'r as not rightly considered by the learned trial Court and ther :fore ftre same was set aside. It is also held that the Court :annot at this stage decide whether the boundar5r of lrt stern side is incorrecfly mentioned or not. 2L. Hence, prima facie there is no dispr .te with regard to the plaintiffs possession over the land of A<:. ).26 guntas in view of the same the learned lower Appellate )ourt ought to have seen ttrat the unless and until the said pc ssession is not secured pending the suit of the very purpos€ of filing of the suit would get defeated and the plaintiff wo : .d suffer great \ \ s 14 irreparable loss. Hence, for ttre said reasons, this point is answered accordingly in favour of the plaintiff against tJle defendant.
22. On perusal of the order passed by the learned trial Court Judge, it appears that learned trial Judge have rightly granted temporary injunction in favour of petiLioner/ plaintiff in respect of Ac.O.26 guntas. And the lower appellate Court without considering the same has set aside the order passed by the learned trial Court Judge.
23. Hence, for the said reason this Court is of the opinion that it is a ht case, where the said order passed by the lower appellate court deserves to be set aside. Hence, in the result the CRP is allowed setting aside the order and decree passed in CMA No.06 of 2017, revivtng the interim injunction granted by the learned Junior Civil Judge in LA.No.598 of 2O15 in O.S.No.255 of 2015 in favour of petitioner/plaintiff. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this revision petition shall stand closed. //TRUE COPY// SD/- A SREENIVASA REDDY SISTANTR EG{ST SECTION OFFICER To,
