The Court has heard learned counsel for the petitioner at length and it finds that there is a finding recorded in the orders impugned that the petitioner is the recorded tenure holder and he is in possession of the property in dispute. However, it has been observed that defendants are also tenure holders as their names also appear in the revenue records along with the petitioners, therefore no interim injunction can be granted against the co-sharers to the property.

The court perused the facts and arguments presented in the case this petition is disposed of with a direction to the parties not to create any third party interest on the property in question for which the Regular Suit no.811 of 2019 has been filed. If any third party interest has been created after filing of the Suit and before passing of this order, it shall be subject to a final decision in Regular Suit No.811 of 2019.
