On merits, it was denied that<\/p>\n<p>            plaintiff is having any concern with the suit property. It<\/p>\n<p>            was pleaded that except the suit property, the family of<\/p>\n<p>            the parties have another property bearing Rect.

It was<\/p>\n<p>            further denied that any will was executed by Tara Singh<\/p>\n<p>            rather the said document was a complaint moved by<\/p>\n<p>            the plaintiff in the police station. It was also denied that<\/p>\n<p>            three or four years prior to the death of Tara Singh he<\/p>\n<p>            was mentally upset and could not understand anything.<\/p>\n<p>            It was also denied that sale deed regarding 22 kanals<\/p>\n<p>            18 marlas of land was managed in connivance with<\/p>\n<p>            Darshan Singh, Banta Singh and Mohinder Singh. It<\/p>\n<p>            was denied that any fraud was committed by defendant<\/p>\n<p>            No.2 with Tara Singh rather it was pleaded that<\/p>\n<p>            defendant No.2 has paid the entire market price to Tara<\/p>\n<p>            Singh with which Tara Singh repaid the loan obtained<\/p>\n<p>            by him at the marriage of his two daughters. It was<\/p>\n<p>            further denied that plaintiff is having any share in the<\/p>\n<p>            suit property.   It was pleaded that Tara Singh and<\/p>\n<p>            plaintiff never enjoyed cordial relations, as such, there<\/p>\n<p>            were no questions of execution any will in writing in<\/p>\n<p>            favour of the plaintiff.
