Eknath Laxman Khodke vs Narayan Ganpati Khodke — 42/2024

CASE SUMMARY: Regular Civil Appeal No. 42/2024 The District Judge dismissed the appellants' appeal and upheld the lower court's decree granting Narayan Ganpati Khodke a permanent injunction against Eknath Laxman Khodke and his brothers. The court found that Khodke's registered sale-deed (dated 13/04/1972) and revenue records conclusively established his ownership and possession of the disputed agricultural land in Dhodap village, Washim district. The appellants' counterclaim that the property was purchased from joint family income and given to them through oral partition lacked supporting evidence. The court held that the appellants' assertion of possession and their challenge to Khodke's rights constituted obstruction, warranting the injunction.
