          2 to get the sale deed executed as per agreement to sell<\/p>\n
          dated 3.12.2002, but the defendants had not shown their<\/p>\n
          intention to execute the sale deed.         As such, the<\/p>\n
          defendants had violated the agreement to sell dated<\/p>\n

               understanding the same to be correct in the presence<\/p>\n
               of the attesting witnesses.        It has further been<\/p>\n
               submitted that no such agreement to sell was executed<\/p>\n
               by the defendants and the defendants have admitted<\/p>\n
               that they had executed the sale deed for the suit<\/p>\n

               separate written statement, in which the defendant has<\/p>\n
               taken legal objection that the suit of the plaintiff is not<\/p>\n

               averments as stated in the written statement have been<\/p>\n

           On the pleadings of the parties, following issues were<\/p>\n
framed by the trial Court:-\n<\/p>\n
            “1.         Whether the defendants No. 1 and 2 entered<\/p>\n
            into an agreement dated 3.12.2k2 with the plaintiff to sell<\/p>\n
            the   property    in   dispute     by   receiving     amount     of<\/p>\n

           bonafide purchaser without any notice? OPD<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
           9.          Relief. “<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
           After hearing learned counsel for the appellant, I am of<\/p>\n
the opinion that the present appeal deserves to be dismissed.<\/p>\n
           Plaintiff Sanjeev Kumar has filed a suit for specific<\/p>\n
performance     of agreement to sell dated 3.12.2002 and for joint<\/p>\n
possession of the suit property.     In order to prove his case, he<\/p>\n
himself appeared in the witness box as PW-4 and deposed as per<\/p>\n
the contents of the plaint. PW-1 Suresh Kumar and PW-2 Joginder<\/p>\n
Singh, attesting witnesses of the agreement to sell, corroborated the<\/p>\n
statement of the plaintiff with regard to execution of the agreement to<\/p>\n
sell.\n<\/p>\n
           On the other hand, defendants No. 1 and 2 denied the<\/p>\n
execution of the agreement to sell Ex.P-1. It was also averred that<\/p>\n
the agreement to sell was not thumb marked by them. However,<\/p>\n
defendants No. 1 and 2 did not appear in the witness box to<\/p>\n
substantiate their averments made in the written statement. In these<\/p>\n
circumstance, both the Courts below rightly came to the conclusion<\/p>\n
that the agreement to sell Ex.P-1 stood duly established.          The<\/p>\n
appellants are the subsequent purchasers of the property in<\/p>\n
question. Their stand before the Courts below was that they were<\/p>\n
bona fide purchasers for consideration. The appellants based their
\n R.S.A.No. 2877 of 2009                                        8<\/span><\/p>\n
claim on the basis of sale deed Ex.D-1 executed in their favour by<\/p>\n
defendants No. 1 and 2.        The sale deed in question Ex.D-1 was<\/p>\n
executed on 6.12.2002 and was got registered on 11.12.2002. The<\/p>\n
sale consideration was not paid to the vendor before the Sub<\/p>\n
Registrar at the time of execution of the sale deed. In fact, the case<\/p>\n
of the appellants was that the entire sale consideration had been<\/p>\n
paid to defendants No. 1 and 2 at their residence. In case the sale<\/p>\n
consideration had been paid on the day the sale deed was executed<\/p>\n
then there is no plausible explanation as to why the sale deed was<\/p>\n
not got registered on the same day and was rather got put up before<\/p>\n
the Sub Registrar on 11.12.2002 for registration.            Moreover, the<\/p>\n
parties belong to the same village and in normal circumstances, they<\/p>\n
would have come to know about the execution of the agreement to<\/p>\n
sell by defendants No. 1 and 2 in favour of the plaintiff.<\/p>\n
            Hence, the Courts below rightly came to the conclusion<\/p>\n
that Ex.D-1 appears to be a hasty transaction which was entered into<\/p>\n
in order to counter the agreement initially executed by defendants<\/p>\n
No. 1 and 2 in favour of the plaintiff.\n<\/p>\n
            No substantial question of law arises in this regular<\/p>\n
second appeal. Accordingly, the same is dismissed.<\/p>\n
