For executing the said decree, E.b.No.70 of 2001 was filed by the plaintifis D.[trs. ln the said E.P., E.A.I1{o.22 of 2003 was filed by the third pany claimants under Order XXI Rule 58 of CPC contending that thc property belonged to Raja Dhanraj Giri and that pey purchased the same tiom Raja 2 Dr.GR& J ccca 256 2fi13 Dhanraj Giri ard the respondent No.5 - defendant had no title or interest and could not confer title on the D.Hrs. in O.S.No.387 of 19g9. The respondents _ plaintifls - D.Hrs. as well as the respondent No.5 - defendant _ J.Dr. had not I contested the m;ltter in E.A.No.22 of 2003.

4. The learrred V Senior Civil Judge, City Civil Court, Hyderabad passed the impugned order on 25.07 2OO3 as follows: "Heard A perusal of Ex.A I shows that the Hon'ble High Court only hetd that there is no relationship of landkxd and rcnant between the petitioner and respondent No.l and the peritioners quesrioning ownership of r€spondent No.l is bonafide as held by Rent Control Courr. but it did not say that the respondents cannot file a suit claiming titlc to rhc suit proprty nor a finding is given that petitioners are the owners Even othern,ise rhe peririoners have not filed any application questioning the authenticit,, olthc decrec in O.S.No_387 of 1989. Hence, I arr not inclined ro allo!,,.rhis petition. Hence, petition is dismissed.',

5. Aggrieved by the disrnissal r.r f rhe said application, the claim petitioners preferred this ap,peal.

6. Notices vvere served r)n the respondents in this appeal. But there is no representation fi rr them.

7. Heard thc leamcd coLrnsel lirt'the.appellants. 3 Dr.GRR. J ccc, 255 2003

8. Leamed counsel for the appellants submitted that the suit was filed in respect of premises Nos'5-1497, 5-1-498' 5-1434' 5-l434tl afi 5-143412 situated at Putli Bowli, Hyderabad against i'espondent No'5' But the respondent - plaintiff sought to execute the same in 4espect of the premises of the claim petitioners bearing Municipal Nos'5-1499 to 5-1-506' Without adverting to the same, the claim application was dismissed by the Executing Cour! which was wholly unsustainable. The observation of the trial court that the appellants have not filed any application questioning the authenticity of the decree in o.S.No.387 of 1989, was not colrect, as the said decree was not passed in respect of the premises belonging to the appellants' The said decree was not binding on the appellants. The executing court ought to have noticed that the D.Hrs. in Rent Control Court were not the landlords and there was no landlord and tenant relationship and there was a bonafide disPute of title and consequently the rent control petitions filed against the appellans were dismissed. The same was also confirmed by the AFpellate Authoriry i'e' by this Court in the CR[)s and the same was also confirmed in the Special Leave Petition. As such. it was the duty of the rdspondents to file an independent suit against the appcllants seeking declaratioh' But the respondents - ptaintiffs obtained a collusive decree against respqndent No'5 - defendant against the premises bearing Nos.5-l 4g7, 5-1498,51434' 5-l-434t1 and 5-l-43412' but sought to cxecute against the appellans and prayed to allow the claim petition Dr.GRR, J cccr 256 2003 by setting asidrr the order dated 25.07.2003 passed in E.A.No.22 of 2003 in 4 E.P.No.70 of 2001 in O.S.No.387 of 1989.

9. Perused the record

10. The clainL applications have to be tried rike a suit under order )o(I Rule 58 ofcPC. But the impugned order passcd by the learned V senior civil Judge would disclose that no trial was conducted, no evidence was let in and no opportllnity was given to the petirioners to adduce evidence. The appendix of evidence was recorded as nil, but the order rnentions about Ex.Al. The order would not disckrse what was rhe Flx.A I rcf'crred by the leamed v Senior civil Judge. I l. Taking into consideration thc submissions made b1 the leamed counsel for the appellanr.s and as the order passed by rhe leamed \/ Senior civil Judge, city civil court, Hyderabad is not in accordance with law, it is considered fit to remand the mafter to the leamed V Scnior Civil Judge, City Civil Court, Hyderabad to ptss order in accordance with lau,after giving an opportunity to the parties to adtluce evidence.

12. In the rersult, the appeal is allowed setting aside the order dated
