Gurbax Singh vs Pat Ram And Others on 18 November, 2008<\/div>\n
 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH\n\n\n                                                        RSA No.1371 of 1980\n                                                 Date of Decision: 18.11.2008\n\n\nGurbax Singh                                              .... Appellant\n\n                               vs.\n\nPat Ram and others                                        .... Respondents<\/pre>\n
Coram:      Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajive Bhalla.\n\nPresent:    Mr. Arun Jain Sr. Advocate with\n<\/pre>\n
            Mr. Chetan Slathia, Advocate for the appellant.\n<\/p>\n
            Mr. Gautam Hooda, Advocate for respondent No.1.\n<\/p>\n
\nRajive Bhalla, J, (Oral)<\/p>\n
            The appellant challenges the judgment and decree dated<\/p>\n
29.02.1980, passed by the Additional District Judge, Sirsa partly reversing<\/p>\n
the judgment and decree dated 25.07.1977, passed by the Sub Judge Ist<\/p>\n
Class, Sirsa.\n<\/p>\n
            Narain son of Ramji, the original plaintiff, now represented by<\/p>\n
his legal representatives, filed a suit, praying that as the mortgagor had<\/p>\n
failed to redeem the mortgaged property within limitation, he had become<\/p>\n
owner by efflux of time. It was also prayed that the order passed by the<\/p>\n
Collector, dated 16.09.1975, directing redemption of the mortgaged<\/p>\n
property be declared illegal and void. The respondents opposed the suit<\/p>\n
and though they admitted the mortgage, they denied that the period of<\/p>\n
limitation for redeeming the mortgage had expired and asserted that as the<\/p>\n
appellant had purchased mortgagee rights by mutation No.338 dated<\/p>\n
21.06.1954, he had, in essence, acknowledged the mortgage and<\/p>\n
therefore, the application for redemption was within time.<\/p>\n
            On the basis of the pleadings the learned trial court framed the<\/p>\n
following issues:-\n<\/p>\n
 RSA No.1371 of 1980                                                     -2-<\/span><\/p>\n
                  1. Whether the plaintiff has become the owner of the suit<\/p>\n
                    land by lapse of time and foreclosure as alleged? OPP.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
                  2. whether the order of collector dated 16.09.1975 is<\/p>\n
                    wrong, against law as such the same is liable to be set<\/p>\n
                    aside? OPP.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                  3. Relief.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
             The trial court after an appraisal of the pleadings, the evidence<\/p>\n
adduced and the arguments addressed held that as the mortgage created<\/p>\n
in the year 1928 was not redeemed, within thirty years, the equity of<\/p>\n
redemption stood extinguished and as a result the Collector had no<\/p>\n
jurisdiction to order redemption of the mortgaged property. The suit filed by<\/p>\n
the appellant was, therefore, decreed by holding that he had become<\/p>\n
owner in possession of the suit land.\n<\/p>\n
             Aggrieved by the aforementioned judgment and decree<\/p>\n
respondent No.1, filed an appeal. The first appellate court held that though<\/p>\n
the mortgage had come into existence on 15.06.1928 failure to redeem the<\/p>\n
mortgaged property, would not confer the status of an owner, upon the<\/p>\n
appellant. Despite these findings the first appellate court proceeded to<\/p>\n
hold that the Collector had no jurisdiction to direct redemption of the<\/p>\n
mortgaged property, as limitation for filing an application for redemption<\/p>\n
had expired. The appeal was, therefore, partly allowed.<\/p>\n
             Counsel for the appellant submits that the findings recorded by<\/p>\n
the first appellate court are a contradiction in terms. Once it is held that the<\/p>\n
period of limitation for redeeming a mortgage has expired, the appellant<\/p>\n
would as a natural consequence, become owner in possession of the suit<\/p>\n
land.   It is submitted that limitation for redemption of a usufructuary<\/p>\n
mortgage commences from the date of mortgage. The mortgage in the<\/p>\n
instant case came into existence on 15.06.1928, as reflected in mutation
\n RSA No.1371 of 1980                                                     -3-<\/span><\/p>\n
No.60 sanctioned on 20.01.1929. Admittedly it was not redeemed within<\/p>\n
thirty years and therefore, the equity of redemption stood extinguished by<\/p>\n
efflux of time. The first appellate court, therefore, had no jurisdiction to<\/p>\n
reject the appellant’s claim that he had become owner of the mortgaged<\/p>\n
property.\n<\/p>\n
             Counsel for the respondent No.1, on the other hand, submits<\/p>\n
that where the mortgage does not prescribe a period for redemption,<\/p>\n
limitation for redeeming a usufructuary mortgage commences from the date<\/p>\n
the mortgagor pays or tenders to the mortgagee or deposits in court the<\/p>\n
mortgage money or the balance thereof and not from the date of mortgage.<\/p>\n
It is submitted that the dispute with respect to the period of limitation that<\/p>\n
governs the filing of an application for redemption has been answered by a<\/p>\n
Full Bench of this        Court    in   Ram Kishan and others vs. Sheo<\/p>\n
Ram and others<\/a>, 2008(1) PLR 1 against the appellant and therefore, the<\/p>\n
appeal be dismissed.\n<\/p>\n
             I have heard counsel for the parties and perused the impugned<\/p>\n
judgments as also the judgment in Ram Kishan and others vs. Sheo<\/p>\n
Ram and others<\/a> (supra) referred to hereinabove.\n<\/p>\n
             As facts that have led to the filing of the present appeal have<\/p>\n
been narrated hereinbefore, they do not merit repetition. The question of<\/p>\n
law framed by counsel for the appellant as reflected in the grounds<\/p>\n
accompanying the memorandum of appeal is as under:-<\/p>\n
                   “Whether on the expiry of limitation for redemption of<\/p>\n
                   mortgage the right of the defendant\/respondent was<\/p>\n
                   extinguished     with    the   effect    of   making       the<\/p>\n
                   plaintiff\/appellant owner of the land in dispute?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
             Answer to this question would require consideration of the<\/p>\n
period of limitation that governs the filing of an application for redemption of<\/p>\n
a usufructuary mortgage. This question came up for consideration before
\n RSA No.1371 of 1980                                                    -4-<\/span><\/p>\n
a Full Bench in Ram Kishan and others vs. Sheo Ram and others<\/a><\/p>\n
(supra) and after considering the controversy in detail it was held as<\/p>\n
follows :-\n<\/p>\n
                33.The argument that after the expiry of period of<\/p>\n
                  limitation to sue for foreclosure, the mortgagees have a<\/p>\n
                  right to seek declaration in respect of their title over the<\/p>\n
                  suit property is not correct. From the aforesaid<\/p>\n
                  discussion, it is apparent that the mortgage cannot be<\/p>\n
                  extinguished by any unilateral act of the mortgagee.<\/p>\n
                  Since the mortgage cannot be unilaterally terminated,<\/p>\n
                  therefore, the declaration claimed is nothing but a suit<\/p>\n
                  from foreclosure. It equally well settled that it is not title<\/p>\n
                  of the suit, which determines the nature of the suit.<\/p>\n
                  The nature of the suit is required to be determined by<\/p>\n
                  reading all the averments in the plaint.                 Such<\/p>\n
                  declaration cannot be claimed by an usufructuary<\/p>\n
                  mortgagee. Thus, we prefer to follow the dictum of law<\/p>\n
                  laid down by the larger Bench in Seth Ganga Dhar’s<\/p>\n
                  case (supra) as well as judgments of Hon’ble Supreme<\/p>\n
                  Court in Jayasingh Dnyanu Mhoprekar’s case (supra),<\/p>\n
                  Pomal Kanji Govindji’s case (supra), Panchanan<\/p>\n
                  Sharma’s case (supra) and Harbans’s case (supra) in<\/p>\n
                  preference to the judgments relied upon by the<\/p>\n
                  mortgagees     in   Prabhakaran’s      case    (supra)     and<\/p>\n
                  Sampuran Singh’s case (supra).\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                34.Therefore, we answer the questions framed to hold<\/p>\n
                  that in case of usufructuary mortgage, where no time<\/p>\n
                  limit is fixed to seek redemption, the right to seek<\/p>\n
                  redemption would not arise on the date of mortgage but
\n RSA No.1371 of 1980                                                   -5-<\/span><\/p>\n
                    will arise on the date when the mortgagor pay or<\/p>\n
                    tenders to the mortgagee or deposits in Court, the<\/p>\n
                    mortgage money or the balance thereof. Thus, it is<\/p>\n
                    held that once a mortgage always a mortgage and is<\/p>\n
                    always redeemable.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
             It is, therefore, apparent that the question of law framed in the<\/p>\n
present appeal has already been answered by holding that in case of a<\/p>\n
usufructuary mortgage, where no time limit is fixed to seek redemption, the<\/p>\n
right to seek redemption would arise on the date when the mortgagor pays<\/p>\n
or tenders to the mortgagee or deposits in court the mortgage money or the<\/p>\n
balance thereof and not from the date of mortgage and therefore as the<\/p>\n
period for redemption has not expired the right to seek redemption has not<\/p>\n
expired and the appellants have not become owners of the mortgaged<\/p>\n
property.\n<\/p>\n
             The judgment and decree passed by the first appellate court<\/p>\n
would, therefore, have to be modified by holding that as the mortgage<\/p>\n
subsists, the order passed by the Collector directing the redemption of the<\/p>\n
mortgaged property is legal and valid. With the above modification in the<\/p>\n
judgment and decree passed by the first appellate court, the appeal is<\/p>\n
disposed of accordingly. No orders as to costs.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
