No.25 of 2006 granting decree<\/p>\n<p>for eviction and recovery of possession of a shop room with<\/p>\n<p>damages for use and occupation at the rate of Rs.500\/- per month<\/p>\n<p>from January, 2000 till recovery of possession, reversing judgment<\/p>\n<p>and decree of learned Munsiff dismissing the suit &#8211; O.S. No.37 of<\/p>\n<p>2000.   According to the original plaintiff (he died pending suit) suit<\/p>\n<p>property   belonged     to    him      as     per   Ext.A3, partition  deed<\/p>\n<p>No.396\/1992. He had executed Ext.A4, Will bequeathing the said<\/p>\n<p>property in favour of his son, the respondent who after death of<\/p>\n<p>original plaintiff was impleaded as supplemental plaintiff No.2. Case<\/p>\n<p>of original plaintiff and respondent is that on 26.3.1999 appellants<\/p>\n<p>trespassed into the schedule room and               took forcible possession<\/p>\n<p>thereof. It is the further case of original plaintiff and respondent<\/p>\n<p>that appellants took forcible possession of the schedule room with<\/p>\n<p>the help       of daughter-in-law of deceased original plaintiff.<\/p>\n<p>Appellants contended that shop room and the adjacent lean-to were<\/p>\n<p>R.S.A. No.1354 of 2009<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                    -: 2 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>taken on rent by appellant No.1 from the original plaintiff in the year<\/p>\n<p>1992 for a monthly rent of Rs.250\/- and          rent was enhanced to<\/p>\n<p>Rs.350\/- per month in June, 1998.           Tenancy is not terminated.<\/p>\n<p>Hence the suit for recovery of possession is not maintainable. Trial<\/p>\n<p>court on evidence found that the alleged trespass is not proved,<\/p>\n<p>accepted the plea of appellants regarding tenancy and dismissed the<\/p>\n<p>suit.   Respondent took up the matter in appeal. First appellate<\/p>\n<p>court reversed the finding of trial court, held that the plea of<\/p>\n<p>appellants regarding tenancy is not proved and on the strength of<\/p>\n<p>title granted recovery of possession in favour of the respondent with<\/p>\n<p>damages for use and occupation as above stated.            That is under<\/p>\n<p>challenge in this Second Appeal at the instance of appellants urging<\/p>\n<p>by way substantial questions of law whether when possession of<\/p>\n<p>appellants is admitted, was it not the bounden duty of respondent<\/p>\n<p>to prove that        they are trespassers and not tenants, whether<\/p>\n<p>evidence let in by the respondent revealed that appellant No.1 is<\/p>\n<p>not tenant of the shop room and whether trial court ought to have<\/p>\n<p>found that the suit is not properly instituted. It is contended by<\/p>\n<p>learned counsel urging the above that the finding entered by the<\/p>\n<p>first appellate court is erroneous.\n<\/p>\n<p>       2.     I stated that suit was instituted by the original plaintiff in<\/p>\n<p>R.S.A. No.1354 of 2009<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                    -: 3 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>his capacity as the owner and title holder of the suit property on the<\/p>\n<p>strength of Ext.A3, which is not disputed.      On his death respondent,<\/p>\n<p>his son was impleaded as supplemental plaintiff No.2             on the<\/p>\n<p>strength of Ext.A4, Will No.66 of 1996. P.W.1 is claimed to be Power<\/p>\n<p>of Attorney holder of respondent. He did not produce any Power of<\/p>\n<p>Attorney as such but proved Ext.A1, Fax message received from the<\/p>\n<p>respondent who is working abroad and authorising P.W1 to conduct<\/p>\n<p>the case on his behalf.          It has been held by this Court in<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/doc\/1849751\/\">Narayanan Nair v. John Kurien<\/a> (1988 [1] KLT 673) that<\/p>\n<p>even for          institution of the suit a written authority is not<\/p>\n<p>indispensable.       Even    oral authorisation would be sufficient to<\/p>\n<p>constitute due authorisation.      In the present case suit was validly<\/p>\n<p>instituted by the original plaintiff and so far as the respondent is<\/p>\n<p>concerned by Ext.A1, Fax message he has authorised P.W1 to<\/p>\n<p>conduct the case on his behalf.       I do not find anything wrong in the<\/p>\n<p>first appellate court accepting Ext.A1 as a valid authorisation for<\/p>\n<p>P.W.1 to conduct the case on behalf of respondent.<\/p>\n<p>       3.     What remained is whether finding of first appellate court<\/p>\n<p>regarding      alleged trespass pleaded by the original plaintiff and<\/p>\n<p>respondent and the tenancy set up by the appellants is legal and<\/p>\n<p>R.S.A. No.1354 of 2009<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                  -: 4 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>correct.     Exhibit B1 is the photocopy of a rent deed allegedly<\/p>\n<p>executed by the original plaintiff in favour of appellant No.1.<\/p>\n<p>Exhibits X1 and X2 are true extract of the account of appellant No.1<\/p>\n<p>maintained in the State Bank of Travancore and a consent deed<\/p>\n<p>executed by mother of appellant No.1, respectively. First appellate<\/p>\n<p>court found that Exts.X1 and X2 and          the evidence of D.W.2,<\/p>\n<p>Manager of the State Bank of Travancore have no reference to the<\/p>\n<p>shop room in question or the business allegedly carried on there.<\/p>\n<p>So far as Ext.B1 is concerned, first appellate court observed that its<\/p>\n<p>due execution is not proved and that there is material discrepancy<\/p>\n<p>regarding its execution. When the date of execution in figure is<\/p>\n<p>given in Ext.B1 as 13.4.1992 the recital in it is as if it was executed<\/p>\n<p>on 13.2.1998. This discrepancy was not explained by the appellants<\/p>\n<p>satisfactorily. In the circumstances first appellate court is justified in<\/p>\n<p>rejecting Ext.B1.\n<\/p>\n<p>       4.     What remained is the oral evidence.         I stated that<\/p>\n<p>authorised representative of the respondent gave evidence as P.W1.<\/p>\n<p>P.Ws.2 and 3 are witnesses examined by the respondent to prove<\/p>\n<p>the alleged trespass. But it has come out that they have no direct<\/p>\n<p>information      about the alleged trespass.     Appellant No.1 gave<\/p>\n<p>evidence as D.W.1 and stated about tenancy in his favour created<\/p>\n<p>R.S.A. No.1354 of 2009<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                   -: 5 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>by    original plaintiff in the year 1992.    But he was not able to<\/p>\n<p>produce any document (except Exts.B1, X1 and X2 which I have<\/p>\n<p>already adverted to) to prove the alleged tenancy. No single receipt<\/p>\n<p>for payment of rent is produced.       It was suggested to P.W.2 about<\/p>\n<p>the rent deed between appellant No.1 and the original plaintiff but<\/p>\n<p>he pleaded ignorance.       He stated that his information about the<\/p>\n<p>transaction between the parties is hearsay. There is nothing in the<\/p>\n<p>evidence of P.W2 which would show that there was any tenancy as<\/p>\n<p>pointed out by the appellants.    P.W.3 though in chief examination<\/p>\n<p>stated about the alleged trespass, in cross-examination he stated<\/p>\n<p>that he has no direct information. He was told by the original plaintiff<\/p>\n<p>that there was no entrustment in favour of the appellants but<\/p>\n<p>original plaintiff told him that the monthly rent was Rs.750\/-.     He<\/p>\n<p>also stated that his statement that original plaintiff had not received<\/p>\n<p>the rent is the information he received. This statement was taken<\/p>\n<p>note of by the trial court to hold in favour of the tenancy pleaded by<\/p>\n<p>the appellants. But the trial court failed to note that what is stated<\/p>\n<p>by P.W3 is not his direct information. Trial court also failed to note<\/p>\n<p>that if as per the hearsay information of P.W3 rent payable was<\/p>\n<p>Rs.750\/- per month, appellants have no such case and according to<\/p>\n<p>them rent originally fixed was Rs.250\/- which was enhanced to<\/p>\n<p>R.S.A. No.1354 of 2009<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                 -: 6 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Rs.350\/- in June, 1998. Even the appellants have no case that rent<\/p>\n<p>at any point of time      was Rs.750\/-.   In the circumstances first<\/p>\n<p>appellate court was not satisfied with the finding entered by the trial<\/p>\n<p>court and reversed the same.      Finding of first appellate court is<\/p>\n<p>based on the evidence on record and its appreciation. I am not<\/p>\n<p>persuaded to think that any substantial question of law is involved<\/p>\n<p>requiring admission of this Second Appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p>       Resultantly Second Appeal fails and it is dismissed in limine.<\/p>\n<p>Appellants are granted three months&#8217; time from this day to vacate<\/p>\n<p>the premises on condition that they will file an affidavit in the trial<\/p>\n<p>court within a period of three weeks from this day undertaking to<\/p>\n<p>vacate     the premises within the above period of three months<\/p>\n<p>without putting forth any claim or objection on any count.<\/p>\n<p>       Interlocutory Application Nos.3096 and 3097 of 2009 shall<\/p>\n<p>stand closed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                       THOMAS P.JOSEPH, JUDGE.\n<\/p>\n<p>vsv<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Satheesh Babu @ Kochumon vs Philip Koshy on 1 February, 2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM RSA.No. 1354 of 2009() 1.
