Outcome

Judgment Incomplete

Facts

The appellant, as administratrix of her deceased husband's estate, instituted a suit for trespass to land and unlawful registration against the respondent concerning land previously registered in her husband's name (Buddu Block plot 54 measuring 40.46 hectares). The appellant successfully obtained a temporary injunction from the Deputy Registrar. Subsequently, the Deputy Registrar varied the temporary injunction, allegedly for the appellant changing the status quo. The variation orders included restraining the appellant from using the suit land and allowing the respondent to cultivate it, despite the appellant's claim of having been in occupation since 2004 and using the land for grazing cattle. The appellant appealed the Deputy Registrar's decision to vary the temporary injunction on four grounds.

Issues

  1. Whether the Deputy Registrar erred in law and fact when she ordered that the respondent should cultivate the suit property and the appellant's livestock should not roam on the suit property.
  2. Whether the Deputy Registrar erred in making orders that contradicted the order to maintain the status quo.
  3. Whether the Deputy Registrar erred in failing to revisit the locus before making her final orders.
  4. Whether the Deputy Registrar had the power to vary her own earlier order granting a temporary injunction.
