• Cant I win the case in appeal in case of this law

In judgement in junior session court this was mentioned    As per Article 58 of Limitation Act, 1968 the period of limitation is only three years, which was already over long back
and therefore, the suit is barred by limitation.  Its been 9 years since we constructed our house and left space of 3 feet outside compound for vastu last year our neighbours put a gate ovet it and encroached it and we lost the case in junior session court on the above mentioned ground they proved falsely that they have been using our land since 15 years when they constructed their house they dont even have original documents surveyor refused to survey our land saying there are no survey stones so does that mean that we will loose case even in the case of appeal

1. It is not so. The lower court over concentrated on the point of limitation, it appears it did not went through the merits of the case.

2. Secondly, it appears you might not have filed an application for appointment of Court Commissioner/Taluka Survery under order 26 rule 9 of CPC for survey.

3.It is the primary duty of the surveyors to find out the location of boundary stones as per government survey records. Lot of home work needs to be done in your case. Better in your appeal press for remand of the case to the trial court as sufficient opportunity was not given to you. You c an successfully prove the encroachment. Be assured.

1) take search in sub registrar office and seek certified copy of sale deed executed in favour of your neighbour which would mention boundary of his land

1. Take an endorsement to the effect that they have no land documents then court will take its own decision by asking the parties to adduce other reliable evidence.

2. There are so many alternatives, each case is a research paper, let your lawyer work on it.

It appears you have lost the case in trial court.

So in the first appeal which is statutory appeal also is your best option.

In the first appeal the appeal court can re-appreciate the evidence the once again.

Hence in the first appeal you must go full throttle.if you lose in the first appeal the second appeal would be limited to substantial question of law only which is often goes with the decisison of first appeal.

1. The first appellate court has the power to reappreciate the entire evidence and set aside the finding of the trial court. It can set aside the judgment on facts and also law.

2. The trial court has dismissed your suit on the ground that it is barred by limitation. It is not clear from your query as to what was the relief that you had sought from the trial court in your suit. Without perusal of the suit papers and trial court's judgment it is not possible to advise on the prospects of appeal.

1. It is well settled proposition of law that Injustice should not be letimised on the ground of technical/procedural lapse.

2. You should go for an appeal claiming that they had not constructed the said gate before 15 years and also praying for a direction upon the Surveyor to measure the area since area can be measured by the surveyor from other survey stonesd available in the area and the Survey map.

1. They are supposed to have the land documents/Mouza map for measuring your area with dag no.

2. Get the High court order to measure your area as advised in my earlier post.

It is not understood that what were your pleadings in this regard which rendered the judgment against you.

However there is nothing wrong in preferring appeal before appellate court against the grievances suffered due to the judgment which you may consider to be erroneous.

Just one more thing along with surveyor commissioner also came and both of them didnt measure our land saying that as they dont have land documents they are not able to measure it for sure

Then this could have been objected during examination of the commissioner in court when he/she submitted his report before the court

Why did you not object to this report and sought for re-commission either through the same commissioner or some other commissioner.
