Holding

The High Court dismissed the application because the appellants filed a miscellaneous application instead of a miscellaneous appeal as required by Order 50 rule 8 of the Civil Procedure Rules. The court held that while the application was brought under the right law, the procedure adopted was wrong. The application was also rendered nugatory by the filing of a fresh appeal.

Outcome

Application dismissed for procedural irregularity

Facts

The appellants contended that the Registrar erred in holding that the respondents were in possession of the suit land and in refusing to grant the temporary injunction. After filing the application, counsel for the applicants filed a fresh appeal vide ML No. 33 of 2023.
