Averments in the Plaint
Plaintiff claims that he is the owner and possessor of the agricultural land bearing Survey no. 66 admeasuring 5 Acres and 20 Ares situated at Thane. It is his ancestral property. Defendant’s land bearing Survey no. 65 adm. 3 Acres and 5 Ares is situated on western side of his land. Defendant has no concern of whatsoever nature in the suit land. However, recently when Plaintiff got the suit land measured, it was noticed that Defendant has committed encroachment in the suit land to the extent of 1 Acre and 5 Ares from western side. Plaintiff called upon the Defendant to remove the encroachment but defendant refused to do so. Hence Plaintiff is constrained to file this suit for removal of encroachment and delivery of possession of encroached portion.

Averments in the Written Statement
Defendant denied Plaintiff’s suit in toto and contended interalia that the alleged encroached portion is the part and parcel of his land bearing Survey no. 65. He is the lawful owner and in possession of the same for the last more than 50 years. There is no question of his committing encroachment on Plaintiff’s suit land. Hence Plaintiff cannot be entitled to its possession.
In the alternate, defendant states that for the last more than 50 years he is in continuous, open and peaceful possession of the alleged encroached portion in the suit land, to the knowledge of the plaintiff he has become owner by way of adverse possession. Plaintiff’s suit is thus barred by limitation. Hence on this ground also Plaintiff’s suit is liable to be dismissed with costs.
