... Respondents/Defendants O.A. No.590 of 2018:
Original Application praying that this Hon'ble Court be pleased to grant an ad interim injunction restraining the respondents, their men, agents or anybody claiming under or through them from disturbing the peaceful possession and running of the M/s.Selvarangam Hospital at the schedule mentioned properties morefully described in the Judges Summons schedule pending disposal of the suit. These Applications coming on this day before this court for hearing the court made the following order:-
The Civil Suit in C.S.No.288 of 2018 has been filed for declaration, that the schedule A, B, C, D, E & F properties are HUF properties. O.A.Nos.458 & 459 of 2018 have been filed and on prima facie satisfying with the submissions of the counsel, this Court granted an interim order on 28.04.2018.
2.It is now brought to the notice of this Court by other side that there are many other suits are pending in respect of the suit properties before this Court. The above suits have been suppressed by the plaintiff. The Civil Suit in C.S.No.645 of 2015 is one such suit filed for partition by the second son of the first defendant. Similarly, the plaintiff has filed a suit in C.S.No.785 of 2015 for declaration, to declare the settlement deed executed by his father in favour of his own children and also his brother's children as null and void. Similarly, he has filed another suit in C.S.No.410 of 2018 seeking permanent injunction, restraining the defendants from interfering with the peaceful possession and running of the hospital. Apart from that he has also filed the above C.S.No.288 of 2018 for declaration to declare that the properties are HUF properties. 3.It is to be noted that while obtaining orders in O.A.Nos.458 & 459 of 2018 in C.S.No.288 of 2018 in applications stage, the pendency of the other suits and the
nature of the disputes between the family members have been suppressed and not brought to the notice of this Court. Therefore, this Court of the view that without going into the merits of the case very and from the factum of suppression of the earlier suits, itself ground for vacating interim order. Therefore, the order passed in O.A.Nos.458 & 459 of 2018 on 28.04.2018 is vacated.
4.However, taking into consideration the fact that the plaintiff in C.S.No.410 of 2018 is running a hospital and he is a doctor by profession, other family members shall not interfere his possession in running a hospital till the disposal of the suit. All other applications in all suits no orders necessary, as the right of parties to be decided only in suit on proper evidence. Accordingly, all other applications in C.S.No.288 of 2018, C.S.No.645 of 2015 and C.S.No.785 of 2015 are closed.
5.The parties are directed to file their pleadings and written statement on or before 30.07.2018, so that the trial in all the suits can be expedited. Post the suits alone on 30.07.2018.
6.The applications filed to deposit the rent in respect of the properties said to be purchased out of HUF family members are also closed. The issue involved is whether the
properties are HUF properties or individual properties and it is a matter for evidence. At this application stage, this Court cannot make roving enquiry without any evidence.
