10.Heard the learned counsel for the plaintiff and defendants.
11.Perused the material placed on record.
12.Basing on the rival contention of both the parties, the following issues were framed for trial by my predecessor.

Date: 30.03.2022O.S.No. 89 of 2014
16.On the other hand the contention of the defendants is that, defendant no.1 is the owner and possessor of the land bearing Sy. No. 126/A-1 to an extent of Ac. 00-08 gts situated at Darmajipet village and she purchased the same through unregistered sale deed from original owner Tadkaplly Venkataiah in the year 1995 and since then she in possession of the property and by misrepresenting the fact the plaintiff filed the present case.
17.To prove the case of the defendants, the defendant no.2 himself examined as
DW1 and reiterated the contents of the written statement in his chief examination affidavit and on behalf of him Ex.B1 to Ex.B20 got marked and further examined
DW2 and DW3 in support of their evidence.
18.The plaintiff has approached this Court for the relief of perpetual injunction against the defendants, so the burden cost upon the plaintiff to prove that she is the absolute lawful possessor of the suit schedule property as on the date of instituting the present suit. Subsequently, the plaintiff has to adduce positive and cogent evidence to prove that, the defendants tried to interfere with such lawful possession of the plaintiff over the suit schedule property.
19.It is the specific defense of the defendants that, defendant no.1 purchased the land in Sy. No. 126/A-1 to an extent of Ac. 00-08 gts, situated at Darmajipet village from one Tadkapally Venkataiah in the year 1995 through unregistered sale deed and they are in possession of the same since, 1995.
20.During the course of arguments the learned counsel for the petitioner/plaintiff argued that the total extent in Sy. No. 126 is Ac. 04-24 gts and there are two shares in the survey number and to the extent of Ac. 02-12 gts plaintiff is the owner and possessor and one Tadkapally Venkataiah is the owner in respect of another Ac. 02-12 gts, the plaintiff counsel further argued that, though, the defendants contended in written statement that, defendant no.1 purchased land in Sy. No. 126/A-1, but defendant no. 1 did not enter into witness box and defendant no.2 is examined as DW1 and further argued that, the defendants contradicted from their own written statement
J C J, Dubbak.

Date: 30.03.2022O.S.No. 89 of 2014
in cross examination of DW1. The plaintiff counsel further argued that, the defendants tried to interfere into the lawful possession of the plaintiff. On the other hand the learned counsel for the defendants argued that, the Ex.A11 panchanama is not conducted and further the plaintiff did not examined the surveyor.
21.Perused the plaint, written statement and exhibits under Ex.A1 to Ex.A12 and
Ex.B1 to Ex.B20 and contentions of the both the learned counsel and after perusal this
Court of the opinion that, the plaintiff herein filed Ex.A1 to Ex.A12 and as per the documents relied by the plaintiff which clearly shows that, the plaintiff is the owner and possessor of the suit schedule property and she got the same from her husband and the exhibit under Ex.A1 to Ex.A12 support her contention that, she is the owner and possessor of the suit schedule property, though, in the written statement para no.3 the defendants denied that, the plaintiff is the owner and possessor of the suit schedule property, but DW1 in cross examination admitted that, plaintiff is the owner and possessor in respect of suit schedule property.
22.During the cross examination of DW1, the plaintiff counsel could elicit the following:
“ I cannot say the date on which defendant no.1 purchased Ac. 00-08 gts land in the suit Sy. No. Witness adds his mother purchased the above land from
Thadkapally Venkataiah S/o Narsaiah. The original simple sale deed is submitted in the MRO office for the purpose of obtaining Ex. B17. I have not filed any document
before the Court to show that Ex.B17 has been issued on that basis. The simple sale
deed contains the boundaries of Ac. 00-08 gts land in the suit Sy. no. I do not know who has scribed the above simple sale deed and the witnesses to it. The total extent of suit Sy. No. is Ac. 04-25 gts. It is true that the plaintiff is the owner of Ac. 02-12 gts in the suit Sy. No. It is true that the plaintiff acquired the suit schedule property from her husband/Maisaiah and Maisaiah obtained it from his mother. In the remaining Ac. 02- 13 gts in the suit survey number Thadkapally Venkataiah and Thadkapally
Thirupathaiah were the owners before we purchased. The suit schedule property is situated towards western side of Ac. 00-08 gts land in the suit Sy. No. My grand mother was having land towards eastern side of suit schedule property as on the date of our purchase. The Ac. 00-08 gts land in the suit Sy. No. adjacent to the land in Sy.
No. 125 and Sy. No. 127. On 29.01.2013 the Mandal Surveyor fixed the boundaries of
J C J, Dubbak.
8
Date: 30.03.2022O.S.No. 89 of 2014
the suit schedule land. Witness adds the survey was conducted in our absence. We have not mentioned in the written statement that the survey was conducted in our absence. I know that the husband of plaintiff died in the year 1998. It is true that after his death the suit schedule property is mutated on to the name of the plaintiff. The husband of the plaintiff dugged an agricultural well to the suit schedule land.
It is true that the tomb of the husband of the plaintiff is constructed in the suit schedule property. It is true that the name of the plaintiff is reflected in the pahanies after the death of her husband. I do not have any objection in respect of the suit schedule property with in the boundaries as mentioned in the plaint.”
23.On careful perusal of the evidence adduced by the defendants under Ex.B1 to
Ex.B20 and admissions of DW1 it is clear that, though, they denied the ownership and possession of PW1 in the written statement, but in the above cross examination the
DW1 admitted that petitioner is the owner and possessor of the suit schedule property and he does not have any objection in respect of the suit schedule property boundaries mentioned in the plaint. In the present case defendant no.1 alleged to purchase the property in Sy. No. 126/A-1 to an extent of Ac. 00-08 gts, but the reasons best known to the defendant no.1 she failed to appear before the Court and did not expose herself for cross examination. In this regard this Court relied in the decision of Vidhyadhar
Vs. Manik Rao and another wherein the Hon’ble Apex Court held that, “ when a party did not enter into the witness box and did not expose himself for cross examination, the court can draw an adverse against such party to the effect that what he pleaded is incorrect”.
24.In the present case though the defendants examined DW2 and DW3, but they did not support the case of the defendants, though, the learned counsel for the defendants cross examine PW1 and PW2 at length, but could not elicit anything from their mouth to disprove their contention.
25.It can be gathered from the evidence and pleadings placed on record that the plaintiff claiming her right, title and possession over the suit schedule property through
Ex.A1 to Ex.A12 and suit schedule property even agriculture land and the documents to appreciate the possession over the agriculture land would be revenue record and
J C J, Dubbak.
9
Date: 30.03.2022O.S.No. 89 of 2014
documents under Ex.A1 to Ex.A12 shows that, the plaintiff is the owner and possessor of the suit schedule property and the documents are sufficient to strengthen the contention of the plaintiff that she is the lawful possessor of the suit schedule property as on the date of filing of the suit. PW1 and PW2 categorically stated that, the defendants tried to interfere in the suit schedule property and it can be seen from material placed on record that, defendants tried to interfere in the suit schedule property.
26.Moreover, the defendants failed to adduce any evidence to show that, they never interfere in the suit schedule property, therefore, it can be seen that, there is an immense threat of interference by the defendants over the suit schedule property and the same has to be protected by granting prohibitory order.
27.In this regard this Court relied on the decision of Hon’ble Apex Court reported in Rame Gowda Vs. M. Vardappa Naidu citation:
“ It is clear that, so far as the Indian law is concerned the person in peaceful possession is entitled to retain his possession and in order to protect such possession he may use reasonable force to keep out a trespasser.
Further, it would be also useful to rely upon the decision of Hon’ble High
Court of Andhra Pradesh reported in MD. Ashrar Ahmed Shareef Vs. State of AP 1 “ .
28.In view of the above said discussion and applying the legal preposition referred supra to the facts of the case in hand it is clear that PW1 by examining herself and apart from that by producing the documents under Ex.A1 to Ex.A12 could able to establish the suit claim and the contentions of the plaintiff is well supported by the documents under Ex.A1 to Ex.A12 and the contention of the plaintiff’s appears to be in better footing than the contentions of the defendants and except bald allegations the defendants failed to prove their contention, hence, the issues no.1 to 3 are answered accordingly, in favour of the plaintiff and against the defendants.
ISSUE No. 4
29.In the result, the suit is decreed without cost in favour of the plaintiff by granting perpetual injunction against the defendants, their heirs, agents, servants or 12009 5 ALT 403.
