CORAM : SIDDHESHWAR S. THOMBRE, J.
DATE : 13.01.2026
PER COURT :
1. Heard the learned Counsel Mr. Mane for the Petitioners and the
Counsel Mr. Kakade for Respondent Nos.1 and 2.
2. By way of the present petition, the Petitioners are assailin g the
common order dated 21.08.2023 passed below Exhibits – 37 and 45 by
the learned Civil Judge, Junior Division, Shevgaon in RCS
No.237/2015, whereby the application below Exhibit – 37 filed by
Original Plaintiff / Respondent Nos.1 and 2 and application b elow
Exhibit – 45 filed by Original Defendant Nos.1 to 3 came to be
allowed.
3. The learned Counsel Mr. Mane for the Petitioners submits t hat
initially an application below Exhibit - 15 came to be allowed, whereby
the learned Trial Court directed the Court Commissioner to submit a
report. Pursuant thereto, the report was submitted. There after,
another application was filed pointing out that the said repo rt was not
1

907-WP-12971-2023.odt
proper, and consequently, an application below Exhibit - 37 came to be
filed. He submits that once the earlier application was already allowed
and the report was submitted, the learned Trial Court ought not have
entertained multiple applications on the same grounds.
4. Per contra, the learned Counsel Mr. Kakade for Respondent Nos.1
and 2 supports the order passed by the learned Trial Court.
5. I have gone through the impugned order passed by the learne d
Trial Court as well as the copy of plaint and other reco rd placed along
with the present petition. The suit is filed for removal e ncroachment
and fixation of boundaries. When such a dispute arises, the le arned
Trial Court is justified in appointing a Court Commissione r for proper
adjudication.
6. Initially, the application for appointment of Court Commissio ner
was allowed and a report was submitted. Subsequently, on an
objection that the report was not proper, another applicati on came to
be filed and the same was entertained by the learned Trial C ourt.
Considering the nature of the suit and the dispute involv ed, merely
because a fresh application Exhibit – 37 was filed for obtainin g a
proper report, no prejudice is likely to be caused to the Petitioners. The
Petitioners would get an opportunity to cross-examine the Cadastral
Surveyor as well as the Plaintiffs.
7. Therefore, I do not find any perversity in the impugned o rder
warranting interference under writ jurisdiction.
8. However, considering the fact that the suit is of 2015, and as
both the learned Counsels jointly request for expeditiou s disposal, the
2
907-WP-12971-2023.odt
learned Trial Court is directed to decide Regular Civ il Suit
No.237/2015 within a period of one year from today.
9. In view thereof, writ petition is disposed of.
