The<br \/>\nrespondent herein had filed the original suit on the file of the Subordinate<br \/>\nJudge, Padmanabhapuram for the relief of specific performance directing the<br \/>\nappellant\/defendant to execute a sale deed after receiving the balance<br \/>\nconsideration of Rs.18,750\/- based on an alleged agreement for sale between the<br \/>\nrespondent\/plaintiff and Sethumadhavan Thampi, the husband of the<br \/>\nappellant\/defendant.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t2. The respondent had filed the original suit making the following<br \/>\naverments:\n<\/p>\n<p> \t(a) One Thangasamy S\/o.Kuttikon was the original lessee in respect of the<br \/>\nsuit property who spent a sum of Rs.10,000\/- towards maintenance of the building<br \/>\nand another sum of Rs.10,000\/- towards construction of a counter and purchase of<br \/>\nfurniture. On 13.03.1992 the said original lessee Thangasamy received the said<br \/>\namount of Rs.20,000\/- from the respondent\/plaintiff and transferred his<br \/>\nleasehold rights in favour of the respondent\/plaintiff. Apart from the furniture<br \/>\nprovided by the erstwhile lessee Thangasamy, the plaintiff had also placed<br \/>\nfurniture worth Rs.5,000\/- in the suit building making the total value of the<br \/>\ncounter and furniture Rs.15,000\/. Thereafter, the lease was attorned by<br \/>\nSethumadhavan Thampi in favour of the respondent\/plaintiff on 06.04.1992 and the<br \/>\nrent was increased from Rs.30\/- to Rs.45\/-. A sum of Rs.2,500\/- was also<br \/>\nreceived as a premium by Sethumadhavan Thampi from the respondent\/plaintiff.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t(b) On 06.04.1992 itself, Sethumadhavan Thampi executed a consent letter<br \/>\nEx.A.3 undertaking to adjust Rs.12,500\/- being the aggregate sum of the amounts<br \/>\nspent for maintenance of the building and the amount received as premium towards<br \/>\nthe sale consideration, when he would sell the suit property to the<br \/>\nrespondent\/plaintiff. Similarly on 05.05.1992 the said Sethumadhavan Thampi<br \/>\norally agreed to sell the suit property to the respondent\/plaintiff for a sum of<br \/>\nRs.31,250\/-, out of which the above said sum of Rs.12,500\/- was agreed to be<br \/>\ndeducted. Sethumadhavan Thambi expired on 14.05.1992 and thereafter, in a<br \/>\npartition that took place in the family on 06.07.1994, the suit property was<br \/>\nallotted to the share of the appellant\/defendant. On the same date, the<br \/>\nplaintiff informed the appellant\/defendant of the sale agreement and the<br \/>\nappellant\/defendant also agreed to receive the balance sale consideration and<br \/>\nexecute the sale deed. However, without executing the sale deed as undertaken,<br \/>\nthe respondent\/plaintiff was forcibly evicted from the suit property. The value<br \/>\nof the counter constructed in the suit property and the furniture placed in the<br \/>\nsuit property were assessed by the respondent\/plaintiff at Rs.10,000\/- and<br \/>\nRs.5,000\/- respectively. The said counter and the furniture worth Rs.15,000\/-,<br \/>\naccording to the plaintiff, were appropriated by the appellant\/defendant and<br \/>\nhence, the appellant\/defendant was liable to return the said amount of<br \/>\nRs.15,000\/- with an interest calculated at the rate of 12% per annum from<br \/>\n15.01.1997, the date on which the respondent\/plaintiff was forcibly evicted.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t(c) The respondent\/plaintiff had also applied for a new phone connection.<br \/>\nSince he was evicted forcibly on 15.01.1997, he could not get the phone<br \/>\nconnection causing inconvenience to his business as a life insurance agent. The<br \/>\nloss occasioned to the respondent\/plaintiff in this regard was assessed by the<br \/>\nrespondent\/plaintiff at Rs.5,000\/-. Therefore, the respondent\/plaintiff had<br \/>\nprayed for a decree for specific performance directing the appellant\/defendant<br \/>\nto execute a sale deed after receiving the balance consideration of Rs.18,750\/-<br \/>\nand in the alternative for a decree directing payment of a sum of Rs.32,500\/-<br \/>\n(Rs.20,000\/- as damages and Rs.12,500\/- being the amount agreed to be held as<br \/>\nadvance). Interest at the rate of 12% per annum for the said amount was also<br \/>\nclaimed.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t3. The suit was resisted by the appellant\/defendant denying all the<br \/>\nplaint averments. However, the appellant\/defendant had admitted that the<br \/>\nrespondent\/plaintiff was a tenant in respect of the suit property on a monthly<br \/>\nrent of Rs.45\/-. On the other hand, it was contended by the appellant\/defendant<br \/>\nthat the respondent\/plaintiff was not the tenant in actual possession; that he<br \/>\nhad sublet the suit property to one Subramanian and it was the said Subramanian<br \/>\nwho directly paid the rent to the appellant\/defendant but obtained the receipts<br \/>\nin the name of the respondent\/plaintiff. However, the sum of Rs.20,000\/- spent<br \/>\nby the former lessee Thangasamy and the payment of the said amount to the said<br \/>\nThangasamy by the respondent\/plaintiff was denied. The claim of the<br \/>\nrespondent\/plaintiff for compensation on the ground that he incurred loss as he<br \/>\ncould not get the phone connection was also disputed. The oral agreement of sale<br \/>\nset up by the respondent\/plaintiff was also disputed.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t4. After trial, on an appreciation of evidence, the trial Court<br \/>\nnegatived the case of the respondent\/plaintiff for specific performance of<br \/>\ncontract based on the alleged oral agreement dated 13.03.1992 holding that the<br \/>\nsaid agreement could not be true. However, the alternative relief sought for in<br \/>\nthe plaint was allowed in part and a decree was granted in favour of the<br \/>\nrespondent\/plaintiff directing the appellant\/defendant to pay a sum of<br \/>\nRs.20,000\/- together with an interest at the rate of 6% per annum from the date<br \/>\nof plaint till realisation.  The trial Court also held that the<br \/>\nrespondent\/plaintiff was successful in proving that Thangasamy spent a total sum<br \/>\nof Rs.20,000\/- (Rs.10,000\/- for maintenance of the building and Rs.10,000\/- for<br \/>\nconstructing a counter and providing furniture in the suit property); that his<br \/>\nleasehold right was transferred to the respondent\/plaintiff on his making a<br \/>\npayment of Rs.20,000\/- to Thangasamy and that thereafter, the<br \/>\nappellant\/defendant agreed to adjust the sum of Rs.10,000\/- spent by Thangasamy<br \/>\ntowards maintenance of the building. Ex.A.1 is the document executed by the said<br \/>\nThangasamy on 13.03.1992. Though the said document would not be admissible as<br \/>\nevidence to prove the transfer of leasehold right in respect of the immovable<br \/>\nproperty, the same could be admitted for a collateral purpose, namely to show<br \/>\nthat the respondent\/plaintiff paid a sum of Rs.20,000\/- to the said Thangasamy.<br \/>\nTherefore, the trial Court came to the conclusion that the respondent\/plaintiff<br \/>\nwas entitled to the return of the said amount together with an interest from the<br \/>\ndate of plaint as indicated above.  As against the said judgment and decree, the<br \/>\nappellant\/defendant filed an appeal in A.S.No.112 of 2003 on the file of the<br \/>\nDistrict Judge, Kanyakumari District at Nagercoil in which the<br \/>\nrespondent\/plaintiff filed a cross-objection as against the disallowed portion<br \/>\nof the suit claim. Both the appeal and the Cross-objection were dismissed<br \/>\nconfirming the judgment and decree of the trial Court in all respects by the<br \/>\njudgment and decree of the lower appellate Court dated 09.06.2004. Hence the<br \/>\npresent second appeal has been filed in this Court by the appellant\/defendant.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t5. Heard the submissions made by Mr.P.Subramaniam, learned counsel<br \/>\nappearing for the appellant and also by Mr.R.Vijayakumar, learned counsel<br \/>\nappearing for the respondent. The materials available on record in the form of<br \/>\ntyped-set of papers including the judgments of the lower Courts have been<br \/>\nperused.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t6. Both the Courts below have concurrently held that the oral<br \/>\nagreement set up by the respondent\/plaintiff, based on which the claim for<br \/>\nspecific performance of contract was made, was not true. The concurrent findings<br \/>\nof the Courts below in this regard are only findings of fact. The said finding<br \/>\nrecorded by the Courts below was against the respondent\/plaintiff. The person<br \/>\naggrieved against the said finding, namely the respondent\/plaintiff has not<br \/>\nchosen to file any second appeal against the dismissal of his cross-objection.<br \/>\nThe challenge made in the present appeal is confined to the decree directing the<br \/>\nappellant\/defendant to pay a sum of Rs.20,000\/- with interest. On a proper<br \/>\nappreciation of evidence, the trial Court has come to the conclusion that the<br \/>\nrespondent\/plaintiff was able to prove his case that one Thangasamy was the<br \/>\noriginal lessee who spent a sum of Rs.20,000\/- towards the maintenance of the<br \/>\nbuilding, for constructing a counter and for providing furniture and that the<br \/>\nsaid Thangasamy, after receiving the said amount from the respondent\/plaintiff,<br \/>\nallowed the respondent\/plaintiff to occupy the suit property as a tenant. The<br \/>\ntrial Court has also come to the conclusion that there was attornment of tenancy<br \/>\nby the husband of the respondent\/plaintiff in favour of the appellant\/defendant.<br \/>\nIt is also quite obvious from the written statement of the appellant\/defendant<br \/>\nthat though there was an attempt to deny that the respondent\/plaintiff was a<br \/>\ntenant in respect of the suit property, there is a clear admission that the<br \/>\nrespondent\/plaintiff was the direct tenant and one Subramanian was the sub-<br \/>\ntenant under him. Regarding the amounts spent by the erstwhile tenant Thangasamy<br \/>\nand the payment of the said amount by the respondent\/plaintiff to the said<br \/>\nThangasamy, the trial Court has meticulously appraised the evidence adduced on<br \/>\nboth sides and came to the conclusion that the respondent&#8217;s\/plaintiff&#8217;s case in<br \/>\nthis regard was true and was substantiated. It was also held that the fact that<br \/>\nthe tenancy was attorned in favour of the respondent\/plaintiff would also be a<br \/>\ncircumstance to prove the case of the respondent\/plaintiff that the  payment of<br \/>\nRs.20,000\/- to the erstwhile lessee Thangasamy was very much known to the<br \/>\nhusband of the appellant\/defendant. On a proper appreciation of evidence, the<br \/>\ntrial Court has come to the conclusion that the appellant\/defendant being the<br \/>\nowner of the property was liable to pay a sum of Rs.10,000\/- spent by the tenant<br \/>\nfor effecting repairs and maintaining the building in the suit property.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t7. The trial Court has also rightly held that the<br \/>\nrespondent\/plaintiff established the value of the counter constructed in the<br \/>\nsuit building and the furniture placed therein was Rs.10,000\/- and that the<br \/>\nrespondent\/plaintiff was forcibly evicted and driven out from the suit property<br \/>\neven without allowing him to remove the said counter and furniture. As such, the<br \/>\nfinding of the trial Court that the appellant\/defendant was liable to pay a sum<br \/>\nof Rs.10,000\/- towards the value  of the counter and furniture cannot be<br \/>\nassailed as it is supported by evidence. So also the finding of the trial Court<br \/>\nthat the appellant\/defendant is liable to pay a sum of Rs.10,000\/- spent towards<br \/>\nthe repair and maintenance of the suit  property cannot be assailed as it is<br \/>\nsupported by evidence. The lower appellate Court, being the highest Court of<br \/>\nappeal on facts, has also reappraised the evidence and has correctly concurred<br \/>\nwith the said findings of the trial Court. The said finding of the trial Court<br \/>\ncannot be termed as one based on no legal evidence or a finding which could not<br \/>\nhave been arrived at reasonably based on the evidence adduced on either side. To<br \/>\nput it in short, the said finding cannot be termed a perverse one. In a second<br \/>\nappeal findings of fact recorded by the Courts below cannot be interfered with<br \/>\nunless the same is found to be perverse, in which case the same will give rise<br \/>\nto a substantial question of law.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t8. It should also be noted that the Courts below have rightly<br \/>\nrejected the claim of the respondent\/plaintiff that the alleged payment of<br \/>\npremium of Rs.2,500\/- could not be believed. The claim of Rs.5,000\/- as damages<br \/>\nfor the alleged loss caused to the respondent\/plaintiff by his inability to get<br \/>\na telephone connection as he was forcibly evicted from the suit property was<br \/>\nalso rightly rejected by the Courts below. The plea made by the plaintiff in the<br \/>\nplaint that, apart from the furniture provided by the erstwhile lessee<br \/>\nThangasamy in the suit property, the plaintiff had also put furniture worth<br \/>\nRs.5,000\/- in the suit property was rightly negatived by the Courts below. That<br \/>\nis why the Courts below have chosen to decree the suit in respect of the<br \/>\nalternative prayer for the recovery of Rs.20,000\/- alone together with an<br \/>\ninterest calculated at the rate of 6% per annum from the date of plaint till<br \/>\nrealisation. In disallowing interest till the date of filing of the suit, the<br \/>\nCourts below have proved to be just and reasonable. Hence the concurrent<br \/>\nfindings of both the Courts below that the respondent\/plaintiff is entitled to<br \/>\nrecover a sum of Rs.20,000\/- together with an interest for the said amount from<br \/>\nthe date of plaint till realisation at the rate of 6% per annum cannot be<br \/>\ninterfered with in this second appeal. No substantial question of law is proved<br \/>\nto have involved in this second appeal. All the questions projected in<br \/>\nmemorandum of appeal as substantial questions of law are not, in fact,<br \/>\nsubstantial questions of law involved in this case.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t9. For all the reasons stated above, this Court comes to the<br \/>\nconclusion that there is no merit in the second appeal and the same deserves to<br \/>\nbe dismissed. Accordingly, the Second Appeal is dismissed. There shall be no<br \/>\norder as to payment of costs, as the second appeal is dismissed at the stage of<br \/>\nadmission itself.\n<\/p>\n<p>SML<\/p>\n<p>To<\/p>\n<p>1.The District Judge,<br \/>\n  Nagercoil.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.The Subordinate Judge,<br \/>\n  Padmanabhapuram.\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Madras High Court Jeyanthi S.Thampi vs P.Selvarajan on 26 November, 2007 BEFORE THE MADURAI BENCH OF MADRAS HIGH COURT DATED : 26\/11\/2007 CORAM: THE HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE P.R.SHIVAKUMAR S.A.(MD)No.716 of 2007 Jeyanthi S.Thampi &#8230; Appellant Vs.
