Originally this appeal was<\/p>\n<p>filed before the District Judge, Thrissur and<\/p>\n<p>that had been withdrawn to be heard along with<\/p>\n<p>the other appeal.     Now the brief facts necessary<\/p>\n<p>for the disposal of the appeal are stated as<\/p>\n<p>follows.  O.S.1092\/92         is    a   suit    filed  for<\/p>\n<p>declaration and consequential injunction.              The<\/p>\n<p>case of the plaintiff is it belonged to him by<\/p>\n<p>virtue of a document in the year 1967 and he had<\/p>\n<p>made improvements in the property.            According to<\/p>\n<p>A.S. NO. 748 OF 1998 &amp;<br \/>\nA.S. NO.221 OF 2003<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                           -2-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>him he was badly in need of money and therefore<\/p>\n<p>contacted the defendant who is a money lender<\/p>\n<p>and the defendant wanted the mortgage deed to be<\/p>\n<p>executed.      The plaintiff readily agreed, he had<\/p>\n<p>gone to the Registrar&#8217;s office and executed the<\/p>\n<p>document but later he came to know that the<\/p>\n<p>document was an out and out sale and not a<\/p>\n<p>mortgage.        Thereafter he contacted a social<\/p>\n<p>worker namely Sivaraman Nair who is also an<\/p>\n<p>advocate clerk and he had promised to take<\/p>\n<p>appropriate proceedings to get the document set<\/p>\n<p>aside or corrected but later he received a<\/p>\n<p>notice from Sivaraman Nair stating that he had<\/p>\n<p>agreed to sell the property to Sivaraman Nair or<\/p>\n<p>to return Rs.30,000\/-.        It is also contended<\/p>\n<p>that the defendant had taken blank signed papers<\/p>\n<p>and had created documents to defeat the interest<\/p>\n<p>of the plaintiff.       Therefore the plaintiff has<\/p>\n<p>A.S. NO. 748 OF 1998 &amp;<br \/>\nA.S. NO.221 OF 2003<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                             -3-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>prayed for setting aside the document and also<\/p>\n<p>for a permanent injunction.\n<\/p>\n<p>      2.   The defendant in the suit contended that<\/p>\n<p>it is not a mortgage it is an out out sale for<\/p>\n<p>proper consideration and on the strength of the<\/p>\n<p>document the other tenants had given rent to him<\/p>\n<p>and that the plaintiff had even executed a lease<\/p>\n<p>deed and therefore the suit is not liable to be<\/p>\n<p>entertained.\n<\/p>\n<p>      3.   The other suit O.S.276\/93 is filed by<\/p>\n<p>the defendant in O.S.1092\/92 for a permanent<\/p>\n<p>injunction wherein the plaintiff therein has<\/p>\n<p>requested the Court to grant an injunction. On<\/p>\n<p>the   strength     of   the  document filed he  had<\/p>\n<p>purchased     the    property   and is enjoying the<\/p>\n<p>property.      The defendant in the case namely the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiff in O.S.1092\/92 and his son had filed<\/p>\n<p>written statement contending that the plaintiff<\/p>\n<p>A.S. NO. 748 OF 1998 &amp;<br \/>\nA.S. NO.221 OF 2003<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                             -4-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>in O.S.276\/93 is not entitled to any relief and<\/p>\n<p>therefore had prayed for dismissal of the suit.<\/p>\n<p>       4. In the trial court Exts.A1 to A5(b) and<\/p>\n<p>B1 to B5 were marked.       PW1 and DWs.1 and 3 were<\/p>\n<p>marked and on analysis of the materials the<\/p>\n<p>trial court granted a decree in favour of the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiff in O.S.276\/93 and dismissed the suit<\/p>\n<p>O.S.1092\/92.      It is against that these decisions<\/p>\n<p>the present appeals are filed.\n<\/p>\n<p>      5.   Heard.     The crux of the matter depends<\/p>\n<p>upon the correctness of the document and the<\/p>\n<p>nature of the document executed by the plaintiff<\/p>\n<p>in O.S.1092\/92 in favour of the defendant in<\/p>\n<p>that    case.       Admittedly  the plaint  schedule<\/p>\n<p>property is having an extent of 2 cents with a<\/p>\n<p>row of rooms therein.         It is the case of the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiff that he wanted to borrow money from<\/p>\n<p>the defendant who is a money lender and as per<\/p>\n<p>A.S. NO. 748 OF 1998 &amp;<br \/>\nA.S. NO.221 OF 2003<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                            -5-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>his request he had executed a mortgage deed but<\/p>\n<p>to his utter dismay he found it as a sale deed<\/p>\n<p>later and therefore he wanted to set aside that<\/p>\n<p>or to declare that the document is invalid.<\/p>\n<p>      6.   On the other hand, the defendant would<\/p>\n<p>contend     that    the  document is  a  valid  one<\/p>\n<p>supported by actual consideration.       The trial<\/p>\n<p>court has elaborately considered the matter both<\/p>\n<p>documentary as well as oral evidence.     It has to<\/p>\n<p>be    remembered     that  Ext.A1  is  a registered<\/p>\n<p>assignment      deed   executed  by  the plaintiff,<\/p>\n<p>Ramakrishnan in favour of the defendant, Santhan<\/p>\n<p>on 25.10.84.       Ext.A2 is the rent chit executed<\/p>\n<p>by the plaintiff therein to the defendant for<\/p>\n<p>retaining a room on rent which he was occupying.<\/p>\n<p>Ext.A3 series are the basic tax receipts for the<\/p>\n<p>property.      Ext.A4 series are the demand notices<\/p>\n<p>and building tax receipts issued in the name of<\/p>\n<p>A.S. NO. 748 OF 1998 &amp;<br \/>\nA.S. NO.221 OF 2003<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                            -6-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Santhan.       Ext.A5(a) and (b) are money order<\/p>\n<p>receipts.       The defendant&#8217;s i.e. Ramakrishnan&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>exhibits are only regarding notices and the<\/p>\n<p>assignment deed. It has to be stated that the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiff is not an ordinary person.        He had<\/p>\n<p>executed the document with both his eyes opened<\/p>\n<p>and it cannot be stated that he was in a<\/p>\n<p>position to be dominated by the other person.<\/p>\n<p>If really it was only a mortgage deed then there<\/p>\n<p>was   no    necessity    for executing Ext.A2,  the<\/p>\n<p>execution       of    which  is  denied   by   Sri.<\/p>\n<p>Ramakrishnan.        The learned trial judge found<\/p>\n<p>that the document has been executed and on the<\/p>\n<p>basis of the document Mr. Santhan has proceeded<\/p>\n<p>and has been enjoying the property and the suit<\/p>\n<p>is filed admittedly in 1992 for declaration of<\/p>\n<p>that document as invalid.      It is interesting to<\/p>\n<p>note that this Ramakrishnan has set up a case<\/p>\n<p>A.S. NO. 748 OF 1998 &amp;<br \/>\nA.S. NO.221 OF 2003<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                            -7-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>that he had contacted one Sivaraman Nair who is<\/p>\n<p>an advocate clerk and according to him that<\/p>\n<p>advocate     clerk    has also  cheated  him   after<\/p>\n<p>obtaining blank signed papers and thereafter he<\/p>\n<p>had issued a notice to the person for assigning<\/p>\n<p>the property in his favour.      So the case of the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiff, Ramakrishnan appears to be that if<\/p>\n<p>somebody wants some blank papers to be signed he<\/p>\n<p>would readily oblige them and later face the<\/p>\n<p>consequences.\n<\/p>\n<p>      7.   The trial court also found that the<\/p>\n<p>evidence of DW2 and DW3 are not convincing and<\/p>\n<p>they are closely related and it does not carry<\/p>\n<p>much weight.      When confronted with the rent chit<\/p>\n<p>he would say that he had also given blank signed<\/p>\n<p>papers.      This can never be the attitude at all.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly other persons who are all occupying<\/p>\n<p>the rooms as tenants after the execution of<\/p>\n<p>A.S. NO. 748 OF 1998 &amp;<br \/>\nA.S. NO.221 OF 2003<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                            -8-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Ext.A1 had attorned to the purchaser and had<\/p>\n<p>started paying rent to him.       Therefore the sum<\/p>\n<p>and substance of the entire materials would show<\/p>\n<p>that Ext.A1 is a valid assignment deed executed<\/p>\n<p>for consideration and possession is handed over<\/p>\n<p>on the basis of which Mr.Santhan had exercised<\/p>\n<p>acts of ownership and possession and therefore<\/p>\n<p>the conduct of the plaintiff that it was only<\/p>\n<p>intended     to   be   a mortgage  deed  cannot   be<\/p>\n<p>accepted by any stretch of imagination.      It has<\/p>\n<p>also to be remembered the transaction was as<\/p>\n<p>early as in 1984 and the consideration shown in<\/p>\n<p>the document was Rs.15,000\/- and it relates to 2<\/p>\n<p>cents of property in a remote place in Thrissur<\/p>\n<p>called      Cherpu    and therefore  the   plea   of<\/p>\n<p>inadequacy of consideration also does not loom<\/p>\n<p>large in this case.      So from these discussions I<\/p>\n<p>concur with the finding of the trial court and<\/p>\n<p>A.S. NO. 748 OF 1998 &amp;<br \/>\nA.S. NO.221 OF 2003<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                            -9-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>find that the Court below has granted a decree<\/p>\n<p>correctly        in    O.S.276\/93   and    dismissed<\/p>\n<p>O.S.1092\/92.       Therefore both these appeals fail<\/p>\n<p>and are dismissed but without costs.<\/p>\n<p>                            M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE.\n<\/p>\n<p>ul\/-\n<\/p>\n<p>A.S.
