The Plaintiff in the suit claimed that there is a path which is being used by him, on which the Defendant is raising construction and thereby the easementary rights of the Plaintiff are being obstructed.

(2.) The suit was dismissed by the learned Trial Court which came to the conclusion, that there was an alternative path in the form of a "Challi" existing on the spot and therefore, the Plaintiff was not entitled to any relief.

(3.) The Plaintiff filed an appeal in the year 2007 and thereafter filed an application under Order 26 Rule 9 of.Code of Civil Procedure for appointment of a Local Commissioner. The learned Lower Appellate Court rejected this application. Hence the present petition.
