In Brief
A housing society sold a plot originally numbered 690 to the appellants' predecessor, who later sold it to them. The respondent claimed ownership of a different site (4307) allotted to her by the same society. The trial court decreed the injunction suit ex-parte against the appellants, and the High Court dismissed their appeal, directing them to file a separate suit. The Supreme Court held that since both parties claimed title through registered deeds from the same society, the High Court wrongly relegated the appellants to a fresh suit. The Court set aside both judgments and remitted the matter to the trial court for full trial and adjudication on merits, allowing proper examination of the rival claims.
