It is a suit for specific performance<\/p>\n<p> of a contract for sale. The suit is decreed on<\/p>\n<p> 15.11.2008.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>2.It is a matter to be recognised that the court<\/p>\n<p> below has attempted to dispose of the suit within<\/p>\n<p> a   period  of  around   seven  months.  But,  the<\/p>\n<p> complaint of the appealing defendants is that<\/p>\n<p> they did not have the opportunity to contest the<\/p>\n<p> matter    by   adducing    appropriate   evidence,<\/p>\n<p> including by summoning witnesses and also for<\/p>\n<p> further appropriate comparison of documents etc.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">RFA331\/09              -: 2 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>3.While  the  plaintiff    pleads   that there  is a<\/p>\n<p>  contract for sale, the first defendant denies it.<\/p>\n<p>  The second defendant, stated to be a relative of<\/p>\n<p>  the first defendant, is the transferee of the<\/p>\n<p>  property covered by the alleged contract. This is<\/p>\n<p>  the nature of the dispute.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>4.The   &#8216;B&#8217; diary  shows     that  on  9.4.2008, both<\/p>\n<p>  defendants appeared and the case was adjourned to<\/p>\n<p>  11.6.2008  for  filing      written statement.  The<\/p>\n<p>  defendants promptly filed written statement on<\/p>\n<p>  11.6.2008 itself and for issues, the case was<\/p>\n<p>  adjourned to 21.7.2008. Following settlement of<\/p>\n<p>  issues on 21.7.2008, the matter was listed on<\/p>\n<p>  6.8.2008 and  on 21.8.2010 for payment of balance<\/p>\n<p>  court fee. Recording that the court fee was paid<\/p>\n<p>  on 21.8.2008, the case was adjourned to 19.9.2008<\/p>\n<p>  for further steps. It appears that both sides did<\/p>\n<p>  not take any further steps and the matter was<\/p>\n<p>  listed to 10.11.2008 for trial in the special<\/p>\n<p>  list.    We   find     that     I.A.1578\/2008   and<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">RFA331\/09              -: 3 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>  I.A.1579\/2008 were filed by the defendants along<\/p>\n<p>  with the schedule of witnesses. That was on the<\/p>\n<p>  date on which the suit stood listed for trial.<\/p>\n<p>  The B diary further shows that the plaintiff&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>  counsel sought for adjournment on 10.11.2008 and<\/p>\n<p>  accordingly,  the   examination     of  P.W.1   was<\/p>\n<p>  adjourned to 11.11.2008.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>5.With the aforesaid, we note that the documents,<\/p>\n<p>  which were marked on the side of the plaintiff as<\/p>\n<p>  Exts.A2, A3 and A8, the certified copies of sale<\/p>\n<p>  deeds as also a receipt and a blank cheque, were<\/p>\n<p>  produced   before  the      court  below  only  on<\/p>\n<p>  10.11.2008, going by the index prepared by the<\/p>\n<p>  lower court while it sent up the LCRs. While the<\/p>\n<p>  request  of  the  defendant     made on  10.11.2008<\/p>\n<p>  remains answered and no orders were issued on<\/p>\n<p>  I.A.1578\/2008 and I.A.1579\/2008, we may notice<\/p>\n<p>  that the defendant had placed two documents which<\/p>\n<p>  are   marked as  Exts.B1     and  B2  as  early as<\/p>\n<p>  11.11.2008.  With   the     aforesaid  facts  being<\/p>\n<p>  noticed, we advert to the following statement in<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">RFA331\/09              -: 4 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>  the memorandum of appeal filed before us:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>         &#8220;4) The suit was posted for trial on<br \/>\n         10.11.2008.      Advocate        Santhosh<br \/>\n         K.Sreedharan, a lawyer practicing at<br \/>\n         Perumbavoor and Muvattupuzha courts<br \/>\n         was appearing for the defendants in<br \/>\n         the above matter. He was having some<br \/>\n         physical ailments and he was not in a<br \/>\n         position to conduct the trial of the<br \/>\n         case. He wanted to leave the place<br \/>\n         for urgent medical check-up. The 1st<br \/>\n         defendant  also     was  suffering  from<br \/>\n         high   Blood    Pressure     and   heart<br \/>\n         ailments.  He   was     advised  complete<br \/>\n         medical rest for 2 months. He was<br \/>\n         staying  in  the     house   of  the  2nd<br \/>\n         defendant at Muvattupuzha. It was at<br \/>\n         that stage the Advocate informed the<br \/>\n         1st defendant about his difficulty in<br \/>\n         conducting the case and advised him<br \/>\n         to engage another counsel for the<br \/>\n         conduct of the case. The 2nd defendant<br \/>\n         was  away   in   connection    with  his<br \/>\n         employment.  The     1st  defendant even<br \/>\n         though he was advised complete rest,<br \/>\n         went to the office of the Advocate<br \/>\n         and   contacted    him.    Then  he  was<br \/>\n         advised that another lawyer attached<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">RFA331\/09              -: 5 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>         to   the   office      of    Adv.Santhosh<br \/>\n         K.Sreedharan can be entrusted with<br \/>\n         the case and since 1st defendant is<br \/>\n         not  in  a  position     to  attend  the<br \/>\n         court, an adjournment can be sought<br \/>\n         for on the hearing date. Accordingly<br \/>\n         Advocate      T.E.Varkey         entered<br \/>\n         appearance   for    the   1st defendant.<br \/>\n         Adv.Santhosh K.Sreedharan has having<br \/>\n         vakalath for both the defendants. On<br \/>\n         10.11.2008 applications were filed in<br \/>\n         the case seeking adjournment of the<br \/>\n         trial of the case and also for taking<br \/>\n         some pre-trial steps which was not<br \/>\n         taken  in   time.     Even   though  the<br \/>\n         application for pre-trial steps was<br \/>\n         allowed, the case was taken for trial<br \/>\n         on that day itself. The Advocate for<br \/>\n         the appellants has to cross examine<br \/>\n         the witnesses on the side of the<br \/>\n         plaintiff   but   because    of  serious<br \/>\n         illness 1st defendant could not attend<br \/>\n         the court and give oral evidence. 2nd<br \/>\n         defendant   was      not  available   in<br \/>\n         station also. Since there was no oral<br \/>\n         evidence adduced on the side of the<br \/>\n         defendants, the trial court mainly<br \/>\n         relying  on   the     testimony  of  the<br \/>\n         witnesses   on     the   side    of  the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">RFA331\/09               -: 6 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>          plaintiff decreed the suit. It is<br \/>\n          submitted that it was only because of<br \/>\n          circumstances beyond the control of<br \/>\n          the defendants that they could not<br \/>\n          adduce evidence on that day.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>6.It     is   submitted      by   both   sides   that<\/p>\n<p>  Adv.Sri.Santhosh K.Sreedharan mentioned of in the<\/p>\n<p>  afore-quoted portion of the appeal memorandum is<\/p>\n<p>  now no more. There is also no serious challenge<\/p>\n<p>  to the fact situation disclosed by the afore-<\/p>\n<p>  quoted averments in the memorandum of appeal.<\/p>\n<p>7.We are satisfied that in the matter of trial of<\/p>\n<p>  the case, the defendants did not have appropriate<\/p>\n<p>  opportunity to adduce evidence and contest the<\/p>\n<p>  suit including by appropriate cross examination<\/p>\n<p>  of   plaintiff&#8217;s  witnesses.    We  take  this view<\/p>\n<p>  because going by the materials, we are impressed<\/p>\n<p>  that whatever was the cross examination of P.W.1<\/p>\n<p>  was   only  because  of      the compulsion of  the<\/p>\n<p>  circumstances.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">RFA331\/09              -: 7 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>8.For the aforesaid reasons, we set aside the<\/p>\n<p>  impugned decree and judgment and all further<\/p>\n<p>  proceedings from the stage of listing of the case<\/p>\n<p>  in the special list. Consequently, we remand the<\/p>\n<p>  suit for de novo consideration providing both<\/p>\n<p>  sides to take further steps and also to adduce<\/p>\n<p>  all evidence. It is clarified that no observation<\/p>\n<p>  made in this judgment will stand in the way of<\/p>\n<p>  the court below at the final hearing of the<\/p>\n<p>  matter and we have not expressed anything on the<\/p>\n<p>  merits.  The  defendants     have  to  be  given  an<\/p>\n<p>  opportunity   to   further       cross-examine  the<\/p>\n<p>  witnesses already examined on the side of the<\/p>\n<p>  plaintiff. The evidence already on record as<\/p>\n<p>  evidence of P.W.1 and P.W.2 would continue on<\/p>\n<p>  record and the opportunity being given is to<\/p>\n<p>  adduce  further  evidence.     The  request  of the<\/p>\n<p>  plaintiff  that  there      may be   an  expeditious<\/p>\n<p>  further consideration is recorded. Appeal allowed<\/p>\n<p>  accordingly.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>9.We find that the order of remand is not caused by<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">RFA331\/09              -: 8 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>  any fault of the appellants, disentitling them to<\/p>\n<p>  refund of court fee in terms of Section 67 of Act<\/p>\n<p>  10 of 1960. We, accordingly, order refund of the<\/p>\n<p>  court fee paid on this memorandum of appeal. We<\/p>\n<p>  note that this matter being decided at the stage<\/p>\n<p>  of admission, the court fee paid is only 1\/3rd of<\/p>\n<p>  the amount of fee due under the memorandum of<\/p>\n<p>  appeal. Yet, we do not find any ground to refuse<\/p>\n<p>  refund because the proviso to Section 69 which<\/p>\n<p>  applies to cases of compromise does not apply to<\/p>\n<p>  cases which fall under Section 67 where the court<\/p>\n<p>  makes an order of remand.\n<\/p>\n<p>  The parties shall appear before the court below<\/p>\n<p>  on 20.12.2010.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                         Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan,<br \/>\n                                    Judge.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                  P.Bhavadasan,<br \/>\n                                     Judge.\n<\/p>\n<p>Sha\/0712<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Paulose vs Geemon on 12 November, 2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM RFA.No. 331 of 2009() 1.
