On 27.04.2007 while passing the order on the application this Hon'ble court was pleased to issue an order which is as "Present counsel for plaintiff. Suit received by entrustment. Office report seen. It be registered and notice of the same be issued for 17.05.2007 and till then parties are directed to maintain status -quo till then. Sd/- CJ (JD) 27.04.2007.

In this way the respondents’ no. 1 to 4 are in the knowledge as to the filing of the suit and of also issuing of injunction order against them.
3. That on 12.05.2007 at about 5:00 PM when the petitioner was present in his field. Respondents no. 1 to 4 along with respondents no. 5 to 7 who were also fully aware as to the passing of injunction order by this Hon'ble court came on tractor trolley and also brought with them highly technical advance machinery especially meant for uprooting standing trees. The respondents asked the driver of machinery to start the machinery with a purpose to uproot the trees. Whereupon the petitioner came to them and asked the respondents not to uproot any tree as the petitioner and his brother are only lawful owner of the trees standing in their land and also asked the driver to take back the machinery from the field. At that time Om Parkash s/o Sh. Daulat Ram & Brij Mohan s/o Daulat Ram and Soma Ram came at the spot in their presence the petitioner showed the copy of stay order issued by this Hon'ble court and also asked not to remove the trees. The witnesses present there also asked the respondents not to uproot the trees and should respect to the order. However the respondents who are stubborn type of persons stated that" they do not bother about any order as to injunction passed by the Court. So they will not allow the trees to remain standing in this land and asked the driver to start the work of uprooting the trees". When petitioner tried to intervene the respondents no. 1 to 7 behaved roughly with the petitioner so in this way the respondents no. 1 to 7 in clear violation of the injunction order uprooted 5 tahli trees out of which they loaded the four trees in the trolley whereas one uprooted tahli tree is lying in the land of petitioner as the same could not bee loaded in the trolley being of heavy weight.

PRAYER:

Hence, it is, therefore, prayed that as the respondent no. 1 to 7 in clear violation of the stay order have uprooted five tahli trees standing in the land of petitioner and have made themselves liable for punishment as provided under order 39 Rule 02 A C.P.C. so the moveable and immoveable property of the respondents may kindly be ordered to attached and also to detain the respondents in civil prison for showing disobedience and to breach the terms of injunction order dt. 27.04.2007 passed by this Hon'ble court.
