SACHIN RAMESH THIS OP (CIVIL) HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 17-12-2020, THE COURT ON 22-12-2020 DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: OP(C). No. 1648 OF 2020 2 JUDGMENT Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. 2. This petition has been filed challenging the order of the learned Munsiff, Muvattupuzha in I. A. No. 1/2020 in O. S. No. 290/2019. O. S. No. 290/2019 is a suit filed for partition of the properties scheduled therein. Two items of properties are scheduled in the plaint. The defendant who is the petitioner herein has contended that plaintiffs have no right over both the properties as B schedule property was obtained by him by way of Settlement Deed No. 5090/2014 executed by his mother. So the said property is not liable to be partitioned. But the court below in the injunction petition filed as I. A. No. 1648/2019 restrained this petitioner from creating any documents or encumbering the same or committing wastes in the properties. 3. Though I.

A. No. 1/2020 was filed to review the order the court below has not considered the entire aspects and dismissed the application. Aggrieved by the said order, this O. P has been filed. 4. On going through the order under challenge and on hearing OP(C). No. 1648 OF 2020 3 the respective parties to the litigation, I find that the court below has not assigned adequate and special reasons to ignore a registered document or considered the entire aspects involved in the correct perspective while passing the review application. An order could have been made without prejudice to the right or interest of the petitioner over the B schedule property. Hence, the court below is directed to take up the review petition once again and hear both sides and pass appropriate orders afresh on merits. This exercise has to be completed within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The Original Petition (Civil) is disposed of accordingly.
