JUDGMENT
The dismissal of an application seeking to set aside the Commissioner's report and plan is under challenge by the defendants in the suit. The suit is for fixation of boundary and
other reliefs. The petitioner/defendant filed the application as I.A.No.1664/2018 seeking to set aside the Commissioner's report and plan, alleging that the measurement done by the Commissioner is not proper and that the report is not in confirmity with the title deed of the parties. The court below as per the impugned order dismissed the application.
Heard both sides. It appears that there is another Commissioner's report and plan prepared in O.S.No.433/2009, which is relied on by the petitioners/defendants. As to the
acceptability and reliability of the said plan and report and also regrading the correctness or otherwise of the plan and
report obtained in the present suit, evidence can be adduced during the course of trial. Based on such evidence, the court below can consider which among the reports is to be accepted and pass appropriate orders. I do not think it necessary to go into the merits of the rival contentions regarding the acceptability or otherwise of the report and plan at this stage. It is made clear that, the court below shall be entitled to consider the question, notwithstanding the order dated 11.1.2019 in I.A.No.1664/2018.
The original petition is disposed of accordingly.
