3. Learned counsel for the appellants submits that admittedly respondent was not in possession of the subject property as is evident from an application filed by the respondent before the Trial Court dated 12.07.2019 wherein it is specifically mentioned that respondent was evicted from the suit property pursuant to an order passed by the District Magistrate under the Maintenance & Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act and possession was handed over on 04.07.2019.

6. The undertaking is accepted.
7. Learned counsel for the parties submits that since respondent is not in possession of the subject property, the impugned order dated 23.02.2021 be modified to the limited extent that it directs appellants not to interfere with the peaceful possession of the respondent in the subject property.
8. Accordingly, this appeal is disposed of and impugned order dated 23.02.2021 is modified to the limited extent that it restrains the FAO 210-2021 3 appellant from interfering in the peaceful possession of the respondent.
