Alleging breach and refusal to abide by<\/p>\n<p> the obligation under Ext.A1, the suit was laid.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">AS101\/99               -: 2 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>3.The defendant contested contending that Ext.A1<\/p>\n<p> was    never  entered  into;   that  there   was no<\/p>\n<p> agreement for sale at all and that certain signed<\/p>\n<p> blank papers were entrusted in connection with<\/p>\n<p> the availing of a chitty transaction with the<\/p>\n<p> plaintiff&#8217;s    mother.    He   denied  the   alleged<\/p>\n<p> contract for sale in toto.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>4.The   court  below  heard    the  evidence  of the<\/p>\n<p> plaintiff as P.W.1., P.W.2 who is stated to be an<\/p>\n<p> attestor to Ext.A1 and P.W.3, a brother-in-law of<\/p>\n<p> P.W.1 who is stated to have provided Rs.45,000\/-<\/p>\n<p> to the plaintiff for being paid as advance. D.W.1<\/p>\n<p> is the defendant. D.W.2 is his wife and D.W.3 is<\/p>\n<p> a stranger. D.W.2 denied her signatures and D.W.3<\/p>\n<p> spoke    that   plaintiff&#8217;s    mother   had   chitty<\/p>\n<p> transactions.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>5.With the materials on record, the court below, on<\/p>\n<p> preponderance of probabilities, held that the<\/p>\n<p> execution of Ext.A1 and the alleged agreement for<\/p>\n<p> sale    cannot  be  believed.    The  plaintiff was<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">AS101\/99              -: 3 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p> accordingly non-suited. Hence, this appeal.<\/p>\n<p>6.In support of the appeal, learned counsel for the<\/p>\n<p> plaintiff   argued  that    the totality  of   the<\/p>\n<p> evidence on record  points only to the conclusion<\/p>\n<p> that the plaint claim was sustainable and Ext.A1<\/p>\n<p> transaction is proved. There was no reason for<\/p>\n<p> the    court below, according   to him,   to  have<\/p>\n<p> disbelieved the testimony of P.Ws.1, 2 and 3. He<\/p>\n<p> stated that the conclusions of the court below<\/p>\n<p> are away from the weight of evidence and the<\/p>\n<p> probabilities emanating out of the totality of<\/p>\n<p> the facts and circumstances.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>7.We have not had the privilege of hearing the<\/p>\n<p> learned counsel for the respondent-defendant.<\/p>\n<p>8.Ext.A1 is dated 16.1.1995. The execution of that<\/p>\n<p> agreement and the existence of any contract as<\/p>\n<p> pleaded in the plaint is denied in toto in the<\/p>\n<p> written statement and also in Ext.A3 reply notice<\/p>\n<p> dated 26.10.1995. Neither the plaintiff as P.W.1<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">AS101\/99              -: 4 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p> nor any witness on his behalf brings in evidence,<\/p>\n<p> the    probability of  any   consensus  arrived at<\/p>\n<p> between the parties or even of any discussion in<\/p>\n<p> relation to the so called agreement for sale, at<\/p>\n<p> any time before Ext.A1. We say this in the<\/p>\n<p> context of the fact that the agreement Ext.A1<\/p>\n<p> dated 16.1.1995 has four sheets, of which the<\/p>\n<p> first is a stamp paper purchased in the name of<\/p>\n<p> the plaintiff on 9.1.1995. It was issued by a<\/p>\n<p> stamp vendor K.C.Dasan. The plaintiff has a case<\/p>\n<p> that it was one Dasan who wrote up the document<\/p>\n<p> and it was brought by Dasan. But the said person,<\/p>\n<p> Dasan, was not examined. We notice that no shred<\/p>\n<p> of material is available to disclose that there<\/p>\n<p> was any concluded mutual understanding preceding<\/p>\n<p> the execution of Ext.A1. Going by the fact that<\/p>\n<p> the first sheet of Ext.A1 is shown to have been<\/p>\n<p> purchased    in  the name    of the   plaintiff on<\/p>\n<p> 9.1.1995,    if   at all     there  was   such  an<\/p>\n<p> understanding, it should have been on or before<\/p>\n<p> 9.1.1995. There is no dependable legal evidence<\/p>\n<p> to this effect. This assumes importance because<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">AS101\/99             -: 5 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p> it is alleged in the plaint and asserted by the<\/p>\n<p> plaintiff that it was on 16.1.1995 that the<\/p>\n<p> agreement was entered into. There is no plea<\/p>\n<p> regarding any other earlier discussions even.<\/p>\n<p> There is no evidence of any such earlier meeting<\/p>\n<p> of minds. Ext.A1 is stated to have been signed at<\/p>\n<p> about 6.30 p.m. and the plaintiff is stated to<\/p>\n<p> have parted with Rs.1 lakh out of the total<\/p>\n<p> consideration  of  Rs.1.25   lakhs on  that   day<\/p>\n<p> itself.  P.W.3,  his  brother-in-law,  says  that<\/p>\n<p> P.W.1 had advanced certain amounts to P.W.3 and<\/p>\n<p> P.W.3 repaid that amount of Rs.45,000\/- during<\/p>\n<p> the first week of January, 1995. P.W.1, the<\/p>\n<p> plaintiff, says that the defendant had entered<\/p>\n<p> into the agreement for sale because he needed<\/p>\n<p> funds in connection with the marriage of his<\/p>\n<p> second daughter. On the totality of the materials<\/p>\n<p> on record, we find that the conclusions arrived<\/p>\n<p> at by the court below on an appreciation of the<\/p>\n<p> entire evidence on record are more probable and<\/p>\n<p> there is no reason to upset those findings in<\/p>\n<p> appeal under Section 96 of the Code of Civil<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">AS101\/99              -: 6 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p> Procedure. We may also note that there is fair<\/p>\n<p> amount of inconsistency as regards availability<\/p>\n<p> of funds with P.W.1 to support the contract.<\/p>\n<p> With   all the  aforesaid,   we  find  no  way  to<\/p>\n<p> interfere, in any manner, with the findings of<\/p>\n<p> the court below. The appeal fails. The same is<\/p>\n<p> accordingly dismissed. No costs.<\/p>\n<p>                        Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan,<br \/>\n                                  Judge.\n<\/p>\n<p>                               P.Bhavadasan,<br \/>\n                                    Judge.\n<\/p>\n<p>Sha\/09-25\/11<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">AS101\/99    -: 7 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                       Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan<\/p>\n<p>                                    &amp;<\/p>\n<p>                           P.Bhavadasan, JJ.\n<\/p>\n<p>                    = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =<\/p>\n<p>                           A.S.101 of 1999-F<\/p>\n<p>                    = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =<\/p>\n<p>                                Judgment<\/p>\n<p>                           2nd November, 2010.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court P.K.Venu vs K.P.Joseph on 2 November, 2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM AS.No. 101 of 1999(A) 1.
