Kerala High Court<\/div>\n
Thomas Mathew vs Koshy Varghese on 28 September, 2010<\/div>\n
       \n\n  \n\n  \n\n \n \n  IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM\n\nWP(C).No. 23454 of 2010(O)\n\n\n1. THOMAS MATHEW, MATTATHIL,\n                      ...

Justice THOMAS P.JOSEPH\n\n Dated :28\/09\/2010\n\n O R D E R\n                  THOMAS P JOSEPH, J.\n\n                 ----------------------------------------\n\n                  W.P.(C).No.23454 of 2010\n\n                 ---------------------------------------\n\n            Dated this 28th day of September, 2010\n\n                           JUDGMENT\n<\/pre>\n
      This writ petition is in challenge of Ext.P6, judgment dated<\/p>\n
24-06-2010 in C.M.A.No.15 of 2010 of the court of learned<\/p>\n
District Judge, Pathanamthitta confirming Ext.P4, order dated<\/p>\n
05-03-2010 on I.A.No.8 of 2010 in O.S.No.5 of 2010 of the court<\/p>\n
of learned Sub Judge, Pathanamthitta. Petitioner filed O.S.No.5 of<\/p>\n
2010 for a decree for specific performance of an agreement for<\/p>\n
sale dated 25-08-2009 describing the suit property as about 5<\/p>\n
cents. Vide I.A.No.8 of 2010 petitioner prayed for an order of<\/p>\n
injunction to restrain respondent from alienating the property,<\/p>\n
inducting 3rd parties into, or committing waste in the property.<\/p>\n
That application was resisted by respondent on various grounds.<\/p>\n
Learned Sub Judge dismissed the application which was<\/p>\n
confirmed by the learned District Judge. Hence this writ petition.<\/p>\n
Learned counsel for petitioner contends that courts below went<\/p>\n
wrong in not granting injunction to preserve the property which<\/p>\n
is the subject matter of the agreement for sale and the suit for<\/p>\n
specific performance. Learned counsel contends that though a<\/p>\n
pendente lite transfer under Section 52 of the Transfer of<\/p>\n
W.P(C).No.23454 of 2010
\n                                 : 2 :<\/span><\/p>\n
Properties Act, a sale if effected by the respondent may involve<\/p>\n
claims by third parties and even multiplicity of suits and to<\/p>\n
prevent that, an order of injunction is necessary. Learned counsel<\/p>\n
for respondent contends that courts below have exercised the<\/p>\n
discretionary jurisdiction in a proper manner and there is little<\/p>\n
scope to invoke the supervisory jurisdiction under Article 227 of<\/p>\n
the Constitution. Learned counsel contends that petitioner has<\/p>\n
come to court with unclean hands as found by the courts below.<\/p>\n
He is not entitled to the discretionary relief of injunction.<\/p>\n
     2.     It is not disputed that there was an agreement for sale<\/p>\n
describing the property to be sold as 7 and odd cents.<\/p>\n
Consideration stipulated in the agreement is Rs.5,00,000\/- per<\/p>\n
cent. It is not dispued that petitioner paid Rs.5 lakhs to the<\/p>\n
respondent by way of advance sale consideration. There was a<\/p>\n
further payment of Rs.5,00,000\/- to the respondent, he claims,<\/p>\n
and petitioner obtained a cheque for the said payment. It is the<\/p>\n
case of respondent that based on that cheque petitioner<\/p>\n
preferred a complaint against him for offence punishable under<\/p>\n
Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, that complaint<\/p>\n
ended in a dismissal and that matter is pending in revision in the<\/p>\n
Sessions court. There appears to be some dispute regarding the<\/p>\n
extent of property. Though the agreement stated 7 and odd cents<\/p>\n
W.P(C).No.23454 of 2010
\n                                : 3 :<\/span><\/p>\n
as the extent of property, in the plaint schedule extent of<\/p>\n
property stated is 5 cents. Petitioner has an explanation for that-<\/p>\n
the property on measurement was found to have only that much<\/p>\n
extent. Courts below have considered the respective contentions<\/p>\n
and found on facts that prayer for injunction cannot be allowed.<\/p>\n
      3.    In Abdul Razak Vs. Mangesh Rajaram Wagle<\/p>\n
(2010(1) KLT SN 33 (C.No.42) SC) the Supreme Court has<\/p>\n
stated the circumstance under which the High Court could<\/p>\n
interfere under Article 227 of the Constitution. When a<\/p>\n
subordinate court is found have acted without jurisdiction by<\/p>\n
assuming jurisdiction where there exists none, or in excess of its<\/p>\n
jurisdiction by overstepping or crossing the limits of jurisdiction,<\/p>\n
or acting in flagrant disregard of law or the rules of procedure or<\/p>\n
acting in violation of principles of natural justice where there is<\/p>\n
no procedure specified, and thereby occasioning failure of<\/p>\n
justice, supervisory jurisdiction under Article 227 of the<\/p>\n
Constitution is exercised to keep the subordinate courts within<\/p>\n
the bounds of their jurisdiction. In the present case courts below<\/p>\n
exercised the discretion and found that petitioner is not entitled<\/p>\n
to the injunction prayed for. In Fareeda Vs. Rajan Babu (1992<\/p>\n
(1) KLT 162) and Seema Arshad Zaheer Vs. Municipal<\/p>\n
Corporation (2006(4) KLT 65-SC) it is held that where the<\/p>\n
W.P(C).No.23454 of 2010
\n                                  : 4 :<\/span><\/p>\n
trial court has exercised judicial discretion and refused<\/p>\n
injunction, even the appellate court has no jurisdiction to grant it,<\/p>\n
even if it is assumed that a different view is possible. The<\/p>\n
situation here is still worse, as the appellate court also confirmed<\/p>\n
the order of trial court referring to grant injunction and this court<\/p>\n
is called upon to take a different view in exercise of tis<\/p>\n
supervisory jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution. I<\/p>\n
am not persuaded to think that courts below have refused to<\/p>\n
exercise their jurisdiction while refusing to grant injunction. I<\/p>\n
must also bear in mind that the interest of petitioner is protected<\/p>\n
by Section 52 of the Transfer of Properties Act and a pendente<\/p>\n
lite transferee, bonafide or otherwise and with or without notice<\/p>\n
of pendency of the suit is bound by any decree that may be<\/p>\n
passed in the case. Assuming that the court in its discretion<\/p>\n
grants a decree for recovery of advance money, the property<\/p>\n
would bear a statutory charge for that amount. Right to alienate<\/p>\n
is part of proprietory title. Circumstances brought on record do<\/p>\n
not require that right of respondent to be prevented for any<\/p>\n
reason. he is bound by the decree that is passed in this case.<\/p>\n
Alienating the property and inducting 3rd parties into the property<\/p>\n
cannot be accepted. At the same time there is no reason why<\/p>\n
respondent should alter the present condition of the property and<\/p>\n
W.P(C).No.23454 of 2010
\n                                  : 5 :<\/span><\/p>\n
commit waste therein.\n<\/p>\n
      5.    Learned counsel for respondent undertakes that<\/p>\n
present condition of the property will not be altered or waste<\/p>\n
committed in the said property. In case respondent wants to<\/p>\n
make any alteration to the property, he shall obtain permission of<\/p>\n
the trial court for the same purpose.\n<\/p>\n
      The Writ petition is disposed of in the following lines:<\/p>\n
              (i)    The undertaking made by learned<\/p>\n
        counsel for respondent that the present condition<\/p>\n
        of the property will not be altered and no waste<\/p>\n
        will be committed thereon is accepted and<\/p>\n
        recorded.\n<\/p>\n
              (ii)   In case respondent seeks to make any<\/p>\n
        alteration in the property, it shall do so with the<\/p>\n
        prior permission of the trial court.\n<\/p>\n
              (iii)  It is made clear that the undertaking<\/p>\n
        made above does not prevent respondent from<\/p>\n
        alienating the property and putting the alienee in<\/p>\n
        possession but the alienee will be bound by the<\/p>\n
        undertaking made by the respondent as stated<\/p>\n
        above.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
