RULING<o:p></o:p>

</div><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>BY COURT:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <o:p></o:p>Application will be decided on the
basis of documents filed after hearing both lawyers on specific point of law
and fact in accordance with Order 25 Rule (6) of C.I 47.&nbsp; I have carefully looked at the papers and
documents before me in this application.&nbsp;
The plaintiff/applicant had not demonstrated sufficiently to me that she
has a right at law or equity which this court must protect.&nbsp; For example the primary document she relies
on in this application – that is, the indenture does not bear her name.&nbsp; Another point is that between her and the
defendant the defendant will suffer greater hardship and inconvenience if the
application were granted.&nbsp; This is
because the defendant/respondent had a valid Land Title Certificate to the land
and has obtained building permit which would expire in 2019 if he is prevented
from continuing the building.&nbsp; On the
other hand the Plaintiff/Applicant will have nothing to loose if the
application were refused.&nbsp; Her one room
structure is there on the land intact.&nbsp;
And most importantly she will have the benefit of taking over the whole
land and the structure on it if in the end she is adjudged the winner at the
end of the trial.&nbsp; The defendant who has
vehemently opposed this application will rather have lost heavily. For all the
above reasons.<o:p></o:p>I will refuse the application.&nbsp; No order as to cost.<o:p></o:p>Suit to take normal course.<o:p></o:p>
