THE facts, in brief, may be noticed thus : the plaintiff Kisan Lal filed a suit on 16.7.2008 under Section 6 of the Act seeking possession and permanent and mandatory injunction against the defendant Brij Ratan Chhangani and the Municipal Board, Jaisalmer with the averment that the plaintiff was in possession of a plot of land ad -measuring 25' x 50' from 1993 at Gafoor Bhattha Kacchi Basti, Jaisalmer, which was regularised by the Municipal Board and on account of plaintiff's possession, a resolution was passed by the Municipal Board for regularising the said possession, however, as the land in question was reserved for dispensary, a request was made to the Municipal Board to give him another plot of land and regularise the same. It is claimed that the surveyor of the Municipal Board proposed regularisation of Plot No.E -73 and subsequent thereto, after receiving the amount of regularisation from the plaintiff, the Municipal Board executed allotment letter in favour of the plaintiff indicating the boundaries and area. It was further claimed in the plaint that the said Plot No.E -73 was in continuous possession and title of the plaintiff, however, in the last week of June, 2008, the defendant trespassed on the said land and placed stone slabs. Consequently, the plaintiff prayed for possession of the land from defendant - Brij Ratan Chhangani and injunction against the Municipal Board not to regularise the land in favour of defendant No.1.

(3.) A written statement to the counter claim was filed by the plaintiff only and it was prayed that the counter claim be dismissed.
