Ram Lal vs Lal Chand Etc on 24 July, 2009<\/div>\n
Regular Second Appeal No.2803 of 2002                                          1\n\nIN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH\n\n                                R.S.A. No. 2803 of 2002\n                                Date of Decision: July 24, 2009\n\n\n\n\nRam Lal                                            ...........Appellant\n\n\n\n                               Versus\n\n\n\n\nLal Chand etc.                                     ..........Respondents\n\n\n\nCoram:       Hon'ble Mrs. Justice Sabina\n\nPresent: Mr.Gaurav Chopra, Advocate for the appellant.\n         None for the respondents.\n                            **\n\nSabina, J.\n<\/pre>\n
               Plaintiff   filed a suit for declaration    to the effect     that<\/p>\n
notwithstanding the entries to the contrary in the record, the suit property<\/p>\n
described in the head note is ancestral\/coparcenary\/Joint Hindu family<\/p>\n
properties qua the plaintiff and suit for permanent injunction restraining the<\/p>\n
defendants from alienating the said properties to any body.       The said suit<\/p>\n
of the plaintiff was dismissed by the Additional Civil Judge (Senior<\/p>\n
Division) Abohar vide judgment and decree dated 8.9.2000. Aggrieved by<\/p>\n
the same, plaintiff filed an appeal and the same was dismissed             by the<\/p>\n
Additional District Judge, Ferozepur       vide judgment and decree dated<\/p>\n
5.3.2002. Hence, the present appeal .\n<\/p>\n
               The case of the parties, as noticed by the learned Additional<\/p>\n
District Judge, in paras 2 and 3 of its judgment reads as under:-
\n Regular Second Appeal No.2803 of 2002                                      2<\/span><\/p>\n
          ” 2. Appellant filed suit by alleging that Hira Ram, the father of<\/p>\n
          appellant and respondent No.1 was karta of Joint Hindu Family<\/p>\n
          consisting of parties. Respondents No.2 to 4 are sons of<\/p>\n
          respondent No.1. Respondent No.4 is under care and custody of<\/p>\n
          respondent Nos. and latter has no interest adverse to the minor.<\/p>\n
          Respondent No.5 is son of appellant whereas respondent No.6 is<\/p>\n
          mother of appellant. Parties are governed by Hindu Law in<\/p>\n
          matters of succession         and alienation.   Joint Hindu Family<\/p>\n
          consisting of parties and headed by Hira Ram, as Karta, was<\/p>\n
          owning 25\/26 acres of agricultural lands and residential house<\/p>\n
          detailed and described in the head note of plaint of suit. Suit<\/p>\n
          properties mentioned in items (a) to (e) of head note of plaint of<\/p>\n
          suit were purchased with the Joint Hindu Family funds and<\/p>\n
          income through sale deed dated 28.1.1981, 30.1.1981, 4.3.1983<\/p>\n
          and 12.4.1985 for consideration from Manphool, Bahadur Singh<\/p>\n
          and Puran Singh etc. Ever since purchase of the suit lands Joint<\/p>\n
          Hindu Family had been occupying and cultivating these properties<\/p>\n
          in their own rights without any objection or claim whatsoever<\/p>\n
          from respondent. After death of Hira Ram, on 6.8.1992, disputes<\/p>\n
          and differences arose qua inheritance for          sharing the suit<\/p>\n
          properties and other Joint Hindu Family properties. Respondents<\/p>\n
          No. 1 to 4 in league with each other started denying nature of the<\/p>\n
          suit properties. On the basis of notional partition that took place<\/p>\n
          on death of Hira Ram, Hira Ram got 1\/3rd share whereas appellant<\/p>\n
          as well as respondent No.1 got 1\/3d share each in the suit<\/p>\n
          properties.Otherwise also on the basis of Will dated 12.4.1985,
\n Regular Second Appeal No.2803 of 2002                                      3<\/span><\/p>\n
          suit properties devolved upon appellant and respondent No.1 in<\/p>\n
          equal share. Respondents have been repeatedly asked to admit<\/p>\n
          claim of appellant qua his share in the suit property,but to no<\/p>\n
          effect.   Rather respondents started threatening to alienate suit<\/p>\n
          property and as such relief of permanent injunction also claimed<\/p>\n
          for protection of possession as well as qua alienation of the suit<\/p>\n
          properties.<\/p>\n
          3.Respondent No.6 Smt.Kasturi Devi filed written statement<\/p>\n
          where through claiming that respondents No. 1 to 4 purchased suit<\/p>\n
          properties with their own income after arranging money by<\/p>\n
          respondent No.1 from his brother in law and Commission agents.<\/p>\n
          Consideration amount regarding sale deeds referred above was<\/p>\n
          paid by respondent No.1, Lal Chand through Hira Ram at the time<\/p>\n
          of execution of the sale deed.     Thus, suit properties are self<\/p>\n
          acquired properties of respondent No.1 to 4 and since then they<\/p>\n
          are coming in possession of the suit properties as owners and<\/p>\n
          mutation has also been sanctioned on the basis of the sale deeds in<\/p>\n
          their names. Suit in present form not maintainable, particularly<\/p>\n
          when material facts have been concealed. Appellant is employed<\/p>\n
          as Teacher and he is residing separately from his father Hira Ram<\/p>\n
          since long. Appellant had been residing in a separate house and<\/p>\n
          he has no concern with the ownership of the suit properties.<\/p>\n
          Appellant has no locus standi or cause of action. or Suit otherwise<\/p>\n
          barred by provisions of Order 2 Rule 2 C.P.C. as well as by rule<\/p>\n
          of estoppel due to act and conduct of appellant. Besides suit<\/p>\n
          being barred by law of limitation is not properly       valued for
\n Regular Second Appeal No.2803 of 2002                                         4<\/span><\/p>\n
          purposes of court fee and jurisdiction. Suit bad due to non-<\/p>\n
          joinder of necessary parties. Earlier civil suit for declaration filed<\/p>\n
          by appellant against respondents titled as Ram Lal versus Kasturi<\/p>\n
          Devi etc, was decided by court of Civil Judge (Junior Division),<\/p>\n
          Abohar and as such present suit being false, vexatious and<\/p>\n
          frivolous merits dismissal.       There is no dispute regarding<\/p>\n
          ownership rights of the parties. However, it is denied that parties<\/p>\n
          to the suit constituted Joint Hindu Family headed by Hira Ram. It<\/p>\n
          is denied that Joint Hindu Family owned 25\/26 acres of land.<\/p>\n
          Rather properties in question were purchased by respondents No.1<\/p>\n
          to 4 with funds arranged by respondent NO.1 as referred above.<\/p>\n
          As appellant was separated long ago by his father and brother and<\/p>\n
          as such suit properties are not joint Hindu Family properties.<\/p>\n
          Respondent Lal Chand purchased 4 \u00bd acres of land about 14<\/p>\n
          years ago by spending amount from his own pocket. Like-wise<\/p>\n
          respondent No.1 purchased 3 acres of land about ten years ago by<\/p>\n
          arranging money himself. Inspite of the fact that appellant was<\/p>\n
          residing separately from his father and brother, Hira Ram, the<\/p>\n
          father of the appellant got purchased 25 kanals 15 marlas of land<\/p>\n
          about 12 years ago in the name of his grand sons namely, Phoosa<\/p>\n
          Ram and Ranjit Ram in equal shares. This Ranjit Ram is son of<\/p>\n
          Ram Lal appellant.       Appellant has got no concern with the<\/p>\n
          possession of the suit properties.      Rather respondents are in<\/p>\n
          possession of the suit properties in their own rights and as such<\/p>\n
          suit prayed to be dismissed. After death of Hira Ram, mutation<\/p>\n
          earlier was sanctioned by Assistant Collector Iind Grade, Abohar
\n Regular Second Appeal No.2803 of 2002                                          5<\/span><\/p>\n
          in favour of all the natural heirs of Hira Ram, but then the will<\/p>\n
          executed by Hira Ram was put forth, then mutation stood<\/p>\n
          sanctioned in favour of appellant as well as respondetn No.1.<\/p>\n
          Suit land was never purchased with Joint Hindu Family funds and<\/p>\n
          Income and as such it is neither the Joint Hindu Family and nor<\/p>\n
          coparcenary or ancestral property”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
               On the pleadings of the parties, the following issues were<\/p>\n
framed by the trial Court:-\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
          “1. Whether the     plaintiff has no locus standi to file the present<\/p>\n
          suit ?OPD<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
          2. Whether the suit is barred under Order 2 Rule 2 CPC ?OPD<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
          3. Whether the property in question is ancestral and coparcenary<\/p>\n
          and Joint Hindu Family Property qua the plaintiff?OPP<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
          4. Whether the plaintiff is entitled to declaration as prayed<\/p>\n
          for?OPP<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
          5. Whether the suit is barred by limitation?OPD<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
          6. Whether the suit is bad for non-joinder of necessary<\/p>\n
          parties?OPD<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
          7. Relief”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n<\/blockquote>\n
               After hearing the learned counsel for the appellant, I am of<\/p>\n
the opinion that this appeal is devoid of any merit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
               Plaintiff had filed a suit for declaration that the entries in the<\/p>\n
revenue record were incorrect as the property in question had been<\/p>\n
purchased in the names of defendants out of the Joint Hindu Family<\/p>\n
property. Both the parties, in order to prove their case, led their respective<\/p>\n
evidence. As per Exhibit P13, copy of jamabandi for the year 1986-87,
\n Regular Second Appeal No.2803 of 2002                                      6<\/span><\/p>\n
Hira son of Pema Ram was in possession of land measuring 204 kanal 16<\/p>\n
marla. However, learned counsel for the appellant has failed to point out<\/p>\n
any evidence from the record which could show that the suit land was<\/p>\n
inherited by Hira Ram from his ancestors. Even in the earlier jamabandies<\/p>\n
placed on record, Hira Ram has been described in possession of the land as<\/p>\n
tenant. In these circumstances, Courts below rightly came to conclusion<\/p>\n
that the only logical conclusion that could be proved from the revenue<\/p>\n
record on the file was that Hira Ram became owner of the land by<\/p>\n
operation of law and thus, being        an occupancy tenant had     acquired<\/p>\n
ownership rights. He could dispose of his personal property and income<\/p>\n
accruing from the said property, in the manner, he liked. In these<\/p>\n
circumstances, Hira Ram could purchase property in the name of any of his<\/p>\n
son out of his personal income. Hira Ram had also executed a Will dated<\/p>\n
12.4.1985 in favour of his son-appellant. On the basis of the said Will, the<\/p>\n
appellant had filed a Civil Suit No. 912 of 2001 dated 15.3.1995 and the<\/p>\n
said suit was decreed by the Civil Judge (Junior Division)vide judgment and<\/p>\n
decree dated 19.8.1998. On the basis of the said Will, the appellant was<\/p>\n
held to be owner in possession of the half share of the land measuring 204<\/p>\n
kanal 16 marla. The said property in dispute was purchased in the name of<\/p>\n
defendant Lal Chand, his sons Ram Sarup, Sahib Ram Phoosa Ram and<\/p>\n
Ranjit Ram son of plaintiff-Ram Lal. The said sale deeds are dated<\/p>\n
28.1.1981, 30.1.1981, 4.3.1983 and 12.4.1985.       However, the said sale<\/p>\n
deeds have been challenged by way of a suit filed in the year 1994 and,<\/p>\n
thus, after the period of limitation. In these circumstances, the Courts<\/p>\n
below had rightly dismissed the suit of the plaintiff-appellant on the ground<\/p>\n
that it was time barred and moreover, the plaintiff had failed to establish
\n Regular Second Appeal No.2803 of 2002                                 7<\/span><\/p>\n
that the land in dispute had been purchased out of Joint Hindu Family<\/p>\n
property.\n<\/p>\n
                No substantial question of law arises in this case which<\/p>\n
would warrant interference by this Court.    Accordingly, this appeal is<\/p>\n
dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
