27.11.2019 from the rightfui owner by payin6 entire sale consideration and since then she has been in pos,r ession of the sarne and the defendant is not having aly manner of right over the suit schedule property. Even according to the aver:: ents made in the counter afhdavit in I.A.No. 1 of 2022, the defenda rt is claiming right in respect of house bearing No.4-126, whereas he plaintiff is claiming rights in respect of hous<i bearing No.4- 111, . In spite of the same, the Court below without properly co: Lsidering the contentions raised by the plaintiff and the avermentl made in the affidavit filed in support of the application in I.A.No of 2022 and the counter aff-rdavit hled by the defendant, passed r he impugned order.

7. Per contra, the learned counsel appearing on beha-lf of the respondent submitted that the defendant obtained Form No.ll from Gram Panchayat, wherein it is mentioned that K.Venkateswarlu is having only arr extent of 165 square yards. Whereas the plaintiff is claiming rights to .arr extent of 33O square yards basing'upon the alleged sale deed. The plaintiff has not produced ary iota of evidence that she has been in possession of a the suit schedule property as on the date of frling of the suit. Learned Sub-Divisional M2gi strate has rightly dismissed the application by giving cogent reasons and there are no grounds to interfere with the impugned order passed by the learned Sub- r I 5 Divisional Magistrate. Hence, the civil revision petitio: L is liable to be dismissed.
8. Having considered the rival submissions nr Lde by the respective parties and after perusal of the material rvailable on record, it reveals that the plaintiff has frled suit ir 2022 for grant of perpetual injunction restraining tl O.S.No.1 of : defendant from interfering with the suit schedule propert5r. Accrr plaintiff, she had purchased tl.e property from Kalas l rding to the ri Naramma w/o late Venkateswarlu on 27.11.2019 and since ll en she has been in possession of the same. Along with the stl id suit, the plaintiff lrled I.A. No. 1 of 2022 ir:lvokirtg the provi:;: rns of Rule 42(C\ of the Telangana Agency Rules. In the said ap1 defendant filed counter stating that she is l lication, the aving land admeasuring Ac.1.O2 guntas in Sy.No.17 and one tLr use bearing No.4- 126. g. The record further reveals ttrat Palchaya SecretaSr, Laxmidevipatli furnished the information to the [r arned Sub- Divisional Magistrate through letter dated 24.O2.2Ott. ', wherein it is stated that House bearing No.4-124 stands in he name of Kalasani Venkateswarlu and the Gram Panchay rt regularly receiving house tax, and also stated that the ,laintiff has submitted application in the year 2023 for mutatiorL cf her name a 6 in the panchayat records on tJre ground that she had purchased the above said house property. Even according to the pleadings, plaintiff is claiming rights in respect of house bearing No.4-124 and the defendalt is claiming rights over the house bearing No.4- 126. The documents which are filed along with the suit reveals that Kalasali Venkateswarlu is owner of the house bearing No.4-124 and aJter his death, his successor namely Kalasani Naramma, who is none other thal his wife, executed sale deed, dated 27.1 1.2O19, ir favour of the ilaintiff.
10. From perusal of the impugned order, it reveals that the learned Sub-Divisional Magistrate while dismissing t1.e injunction application has not given any reasons much less valid reasons ald that only he has stated that the tax receipts liled by the plaintiff stands in the name of Kalasani Venkateswarlu and the plaintiff has not placed any other document to show that she is having right in respect of 33O square yards. 1 1. It is relevalt to mention that the plaintiffs vendor has not disputing about the execution of sale deed dated 27.II.2O19 rn favour of the plaintiff and it is not in dispute that the ptaintiff had submitted application in the year 2023 before Gram Panchayat for mutation of her name basing upon the above sa.le deed and the said application is pending. Unless the name of the plaintiff is 7 mutated in the Gram Panchayat records, t-Ile Gram I) mchayat will not issue tax receipts in the name of the plaintiff anrl it is a,lso not in dispute that Gram Panchayat is receiving tax to tt e above said house.
72. The nature of relief sought by tIe plaintiff is r. simple suit for perpetua-l injunction. This Court is of the consider :d view that, whether the plaintiff is having right to claim lald r dmeasuring 330 square yards basing upon the sale deed datec 27.),1.2019, ald whether the said sale deed is admissible or not, t re same has to be adjudicated during the course of trial only and r.l e defendant is not disputing that the plaintiff vendor is owner of tLr use bearing No.4-124. The only dispute between the parties is i r respect of extent of the land abetting to the said house and the rame has to be adjudicated during the course of trial only.
13. For the foregoing reasons, while exercising thr: jurisdiction conferred under Article 227 of the Cor supervisory stitution of India, the impugned order passed by the learned Srr r-Divisiona-l a Magistrate, dated i0.06.2025, is liable to be se_ accordingly set aside and the parties are directed r 'status quo' in respect of the suit schedule propert5r as aside ald : maintain ,n today tiil the disposal of the suit.
