Punjab & Haryana High Court<\/strong>: While deciding an appeal filed by the petitioner against the order passed by the Additional District Judge, Raj Mohan Singh, J.<\/strong>, allowed the appeal setting it aside.<\/p>\n

Petitioner has filed the instant appeal against the order dated 31-07-2020 vide which the application filed by the petitioner under Order 41 Rule 5 CPC for a stay of operation of judgment and decree dated 06-03-2020 was dismissed. Suit for permanent injunction filed by the petitioner was dismissed by the trial Court.<\/p>\n

In the appeal filed by the petitioner against the judgment and decree dated 06-03-2020, the interim injunction has been declined on the ground that the petitioner is also a co-sharer in the suit land and suit for a permanent injunction is not maintainable against other co-sharer.<\/p>\n

Counsel for the petitioner, Harsh Chopra cited the judgment delivered in the case of Bachan Singh v. Swaran Singh<\/em>, 2000 SCC OnLine P&H 233<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>and Puran Singh v. Kuldeep Sing<\/em>h, 2018 SCC OnLine P&H 1966<\/a> He further submitted that in a situation where the value or utility of the property is diminished, a co-owner can seek an injunction to prevent the same from happening.<\/p>\n

In view of the facts, circumstances and arguments advanced the Court allowed the appeal and set aside the order dated 31-07-2020. The Court also directed the parties to maintain the status quo<\/em> during the pendency of the appeal.[Dalip Singh v. Surinder Jain, 2020 SCC OnLine P&H 1624<\/b><\/a>, decided on 08-10-2020]<\/p>\n
