THIS OP (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
27.01.2022, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
JUDGMENT
The original petitioners, who are defendants in O.S.No.371/2020 on the file of the Munsiff Court, Muvattupuzha, have filed this Original Petition under the Article 227 of the Constitution of India, being aggrieved by Ext.P7 order (Order in I.A.No.05/2021 dated 02.02.2021).
2. In this case, after filing one commissioner by Adv.Cibison Jose, an application was filed by the defendants to appoint another commissioner. The court below appointed the same commissioner to note out
the matters sought for by the petitioners herein. In this context, the petitioners filed I.A. No.5/2021 to appoint any other advocate other than Adv.Cibison Jose on the ground that in the earlier report Adv.Cibison Jose reported wrong facts before the court.
3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners. The learned counsel pressed for relief on the submission that if Adv.Cibison Jose prepare the second report the same also may be incorrect.
4. Going by the impugned order, it
appears that Adv.Cibison Jose was appointed as commissioner at the instance of the plaintiffs in the above suit and he had filed a report and mahazar. So the course of action available to the defendants, if they were aggrieved by the finding of the commissioner is to file objection and challenge the commission report by examining the commissioner. Instead of doing so, another application was filed by the defendants to appoint another commissioner and
the court below appointed the same commissioner. No doubt, appointment of different persons as commissioners would
result in getting contrary reports and such a course of action cannot be permitted in a routine manner. In view of the matter, the order impugned is found to be in order. Therefore, there is no reason to interfere with, on finding perversity or arbitrariness. In the result, this original petition fails and is accordingly dismissed.
