Rev.Fr.Joseph Veliyathil vs Appu on 18 January, 2010<\/div>\n
       \n\n  \n\n  \n\n \n \n  IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM\n\nAS.No. 882 of 1997(E)\n\n\n\n1. REV.FR.JOSEPH VELIYATHIL\n                      ...

     Plaintiff in O.S.No.382\/95 on the file of the Sub Court,<\/p>\n
Palakkad is the appellant. The suit was filed for return of the<\/p>\n
advance money paid. The court below passed a decree allowing<\/p>\n
the claim of the plaintiff and directed defendants 1 to 4 to re-pay<\/p>\n
the advance amount with interest at the rate of 12% per annum to<\/p>\n
the plaintiff. The contention of the plaintiff that the defendants<\/p>\n
are jointly and severally liable for the plaint amount was not<\/p>\n
allowed. Hence this appeal by the plaintiff. The parties<\/p>\n
hereinafter referred to as the plaintiff and defendants as arrayed<\/p>\n
in the suit.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
     2. The plaintiff and defendants (4 in number) entered into<\/p>\n
an agreement for sale of the plaint schedule property. Ext.A1 is<\/p>\n
the said agreement dated 20\/3\/1995. The total extent is 2.80<\/p>\n
                               -2-<\/span>
\nA.S.No.882\/97<\/p>\n
acres. The said extent belongs to the defendants. The defendants<\/p>\n
purchased the property under different sale deeds. The properties<\/p>\n
are lying contiguous. The price agreed between the parties is<\/p>\n
Rs.6,000\/-per cent. As per Ext.A1 agreement the plaintiff has<\/p>\n
paid Rs.8,00,000\/- as advance. The defendants received<\/p>\n
Rs.2,00,000\/- each as advance amount towards the sale of their<\/p>\n
respective properties. On the date of execution of Ext.A1<\/p>\n
agreement, the defendants handed over four copies of the sale<\/p>\n
deeds relating to the plaint schedule properties. The defendants<\/p>\n
agreed that they will execute the sale deed within the date<\/p>\n
specified in Ext.A1 agreement. The defendants purchased their<\/p>\n
respective plots from one Janaki Amma. Before the expiry of the<\/p>\n
period for execution of the sale deed, plaintiff came to know that<\/p>\n
neither the defendants nor their vendor Janaki Amma has got title<\/p>\n
over the property. According to the plaintiff, the defendants have<\/p>\n
practiced fraud on the plaintiff. The plaintiff’s case is that there<\/p>\n
                               -3-<\/span>
\nA.S.No.882\/97<\/p>\n
was a suit pending before the Sub Court, Palakkad against Janaki<\/p>\n
Amma for eviction and in that suit a decree was passed against<\/p>\n
Janaki Amma and that after the decree, the defendants in<\/p>\n
collusion with Janaki Amma without disclosing the true facts, got<\/p>\n
executed four sale deeds in their favour and are acting as the<\/p>\n
owners of the properties. They have executed Ext.A1 agreement<\/p>\n
for sale in favour of the plaintiff. Finding that the defendants<\/p>\n
have no right or title, the plaintiff approached the court below<\/p>\n
praying for a decree allowing him to realise Rs.8,00,000\/- with<\/p>\n
12% interest from the defendants and their assets.<\/p>\n
           3. The contention of the plaintiff that neither the<\/p>\n
defendants nor their vendor Janaki Amma is having any right<\/p>\n
over the plaint schedule property is conceded by the defendants.<\/p>\n
According to the defendants, they purchased the property from<\/p>\n
Janaki Amma believing that she is the title holder. They also<\/p>\n
denied the contention of the plaintiff that they have colluded with<\/p>\n
                                -4-<\/span>
\nA.S.No.882\/97<\/p>\n
Janaki Amma in executing Ext.A1 agreement in favour of the<\/p>\n
plaintiff. The trial court examined the issues on the basis of the<\/p>\n
oral evidence tendered by PW1, DW1 and Exts.A1 and A2<\/p>\n
documents. On the basis of the pleadings, evidence and attendant<\/p>\n
circumstances, the trial court held that the defendants are unable<\/p>\n
to convey title to the plaintiff and that the plaintiff is entitled to<\/p>\n
recover the advance money paid with 12% interest from the date<\/p>\n
of payment. The trial court, after examining the testimonies of<\/p>\n
PW1 and DW1, also held that patently the acts of the defendants<\/p>\n
reveal some fraudulent play and therefore, the plaintiff is entitled<\/p>\n
to the relief claimed. The contention of the plaintiff that the<\/p>\n
defendants are jointly and severally liable for the plaint amount<\/p>\n
was not accepted by the court below and held that there cannot be<\/p>\n
any joint or several liability.\n<\/p>\n
            4. The learned counsel for the appellant contended<\/p>\n
before this court that since Ext.A1 agreement was executed<\/p>\n
                                 -5-<\/span>
\nA.S.No.882\/97<\/p>\n
jointly by defendants 1 to 4 and since they have jointly promised<\/p>\n
to execute the sale deed after convincing the plaintiff that they<\/p>\n
are title holders of the property, the finding of the court below<\/p>\n
that the defendants are not jointly and severally liable for return<\/p>\n
of the plaint amount is not sustainable in law. The learned<\/p>\n
counsel for the appellant also pointed out that Section 43 of the<\/p>\n
Indian Contract Act is squarely applicable to the case on hand<\/p>\n
and therefore a decree may be passed fastening joint and several<\/p>\n
liability on the respondents. It is also contended that the<\/p>\n
circumstances show that the defendants made a concerted attempt<\/p>\n
to defraud the plaintiff, induced him to enter into an agreement to<\/p>\n
purchase the property over which the defendants had no title and<\/p>\n
compelled the plaintiff to pay Rs.8,00,000\/-as advance amount<\/p>\n
and hence they are jointly and severally liable to compensate the<\/p>\n
plaintiff for the loss suffered by him.\n<\/p>\n
      5. This Court already referred the nature of the decree<\/p>\n
                                -6-<\/span>
\nA.S.No.882\/97<\/p>\n
passed by the trial court. The plaintiff is allowed to realise a sum<\/p>\n
of Rs.2,00,000\/- each with interest at 12% per annum from<\/p>\n
defendants 1 to 4. Ext.A1 sale deed was executed between the<\/p>\n
plaintiff and defendants 1 to 4. At the time of execution of<\/p>\n
Ext.A1 agreement, defendants 1 to 4 are the owners of separate<\/p>\n
properties covered by different sale deeds mentioned in Ext.A1<\/p>\n
agreement. It is stated in Ext.A1 agreement that each defendant is<\/p>\n
the owner of a particular extent of land covered by the sale deed<\/p>\n
in his favour. In Ext.A1 it is revealed that each of the defendants<\/p>\n
had received Rs.2,00,000\/- towards advance sale consideration<\/p>\n
for sale of their respective properties. Instead of executing four<\/p>\n
different agreements agreeing to convey the four different<\/p>\n
properties of the defendants, they jointly executed Ext.A1<\/p>\n
agreement. Though five persons jointly executed one document,<\/p>\n
it is clear that each defendant has agreed to convey his property<\/p>\n
to the plaintiff for the stipulated consideration. So long as the<\/p>\n
                                 -7-<\/span>
\nA.S.No.882\/97<\/p>\n
transaction is between the separate property owners and the<\/p>\n
plaintiff, four different transactions can be spelled out from the<\/p>\n
terms of Ext.A1 agreement. Instead of preparing and executing<\/p>\n
four different agreements, the four transactions are entered into<\/p>\n
by executing a single document. Since transactions are distinct,<\/p>\n
separate and independent of each other, even if the four persons<\/p>\n
joined in one document, the transaction remained separate and<\/p>\n
therefore the liability also remained individual. Therefore, the<\/p>\n
contention of the defendants that there is no joint or several<\/p>\n
liability; but each one is personally liable for the amount they<\/p>\n
have received is accepted. The trial court also examined the<\/p>\n
respective contentions of the parties in detail and reached the<\/p>\n
conclusion that the plaintiff is entitled to a decree. At the same<\/p>\n
time, the court below held that there cannot be held any joint or<\/p>\n
several liability. I hold that the view taken by the court below is<\/p>\n
the only possible view in the given circumstances. I do not find<\/p>\n
                             -8-<\/span>
\nA.S.No.882\/97<\/p>\n
any reason to interfere with the findings entered by the court<\/p>\n
below.\n<\/p>\n
     In the result, the judgment and decree passed by the court<\/p>\n
below are confirmed. The appeal fails and accordingly dismissed.<\/p>\n
No order as to costs.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
                                          HARUN-UL-RASHID,
