He<\/p>\n<p>sold the suit land to plaintiff vide two registered sale deeds dated<\/p>\n<p>12.3.1999 and 17.5.1999. On 12.3.1999, sale deed was executed qua<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> Regular Second Appeal No. 1757 of 2008                                 2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>land measuring 32 kanals         for consideration of Rs.4,80,000\/-. On<\/p>\n<p>17.5.1999 second sale deed was executed and 27 kanals 6 marlas of<\/p>\n<p>land was sold for consideration of Rs.4,90,000\/-. It is stated that land<\/p>\n<p>was sold by defendant No.1 after receiving the entire sale consideration.<\/p>\n<p>It was stated that at the time of execution of the sale deed, possession<\/p>\n<p>was also delivered and after execution of the sale deeds, no claim, right,<\/p>\n<p>title or interest was left in defendant No.1 over the suit land. It was<\/p>\n<p>stated that defendants No.2 to 6 had claimed that they had become<\/p>\n<p>owners of the suit land as defendant No.1 had sold the same to them. It<\/p>\n<p>was stated that defendants No.2 to 6 were wrongly asserting their<\/p>\n<p>possession. It was stated that the sale deed executed by defendant<\/p>\n<p>No.1 in favour of defendants No.2 to 6 is illegal, null and void and no<\/p>\n<p>right, title or interest over the suit land has accrued in favour of<\/p>\n<p>defendants No.2 to 6.

Preliminary objection was<\/p>\n<p>raised that the suit is not maintainable; plaintiffs are neither owners nor<\/p>\n<p>in possession of any part of the suit land and they are estopped by their<\/p>\n<p>own act and conduct to file the suit; No property was sold to any plaintiff<\/p>\n<p>by defendant No.1 rather plaintiffs in connivance with Nirvail Singh<\/p>\n<p>Lambardar, Puran Singh, Achhar Singh Deed Writer and Manjit Singh<\/p>\n<p>Baath, Advocate, had prepared a forged and fabricated sale deed.<\/p>\n<p>Defendant No.1 had not appended his thumb impressions on the sale<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> Regular Second Appeal No. 1757 of 2008                                  3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>deeds and neither he had sold any property to the plaintiffs nor he<\/p>\n<p>received any consideration. It was further averred that complaint under<\/p>\n<p>Sections 420, 465, 467, 468, 471, 474, 120-B IPC was filed against the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiffs and their associates and a criminal case bearing FIR No. 171<\/p>\n<p>of 1999 has been registered. Defendant No.1 had sold the property to<\/p>\n<p>defendants No.2 to 6 on 19.8.1999 and 23.8.1999 and possession was<\/p>\n<p>also delivered by defendant No.1 to defendants No.2 to 5. Defendant<\/p>\n<p>No.2 to 5 had filed separate written statement. They stated that they had<\/p>\n<p>purchased the property of defendant No.1 vide two sale deeds dated<\/p>\n<p>19.8.1999 and 23.8.1999, respectively. They denied that the plaintiffs<\/p>\n<p>are in possession of the suit land.\n<\/p>\n<p>          After the pleadings, following issues were framed by learned<\/p>\n<p>lower Court:-\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>          1.        Whether plaintiffs are entitled to declaration as<\/p>\n<p>                    prayed for? OPP<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>          2.        Whether plaintiffs are entitled to injunction as prayed<\/p>\n<p>                    for? OPP<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>          3.        In case, issue No.2 is proved, whether plaintiffs are<\/p>\n<p>                    entitled to alternative relief of possession of the suit<\/p>\n<p>                    land on the basis of sale deeds dated 12.3.1999 and<\/p>\n<p>                    17.5.1999? OPP<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>          4.        Whether the sale deeds alleged to have been<\/p>\n<p>                    executed by defendant No.1 in favour of plaintiffs on<\/p>\n<p>                    12.3.1999 and 17.5.1999 are forged and fabricated<\/p>\n<p>                    documents? OPD<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>          5.        Whether the defendants are entitled to relief of<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> Regular Second Appeal No. 1757 of 2008                                  4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                    counter-claim as prayed for? OPD<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>          6.        Whether the suit of the plaintiffs is not maintainable?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>                    OPD<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>          7.

OPD<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>          8.        Whether plaintiffs are bonafide purchasers for<\/p>\n<p>                    valuable consideration? OPP<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>          9.        Relief.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>          Thereafter, defendants absented themselves and were<\/p>\n<p>proceeded against ex-parte.\n<\/p>\n<p>          In ex-parte evidence, PW.1 Balwinder Singh, Registration<\/p>\n<p>Clerk, PW.2 M.S. Baath, Advocate, PW.3 Malook Singh, plaintiff No.1,<\/p>\n<p>PW.4 Piara Singh, and PW.5 Tarsem Singh, plaintiff No.2 appeared<\/p>\n<p>before the Court. They tendered various documents also. Suit of the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiffs was decreed; Defendants were restrained; Injunction was<\/p>\n<p>issued and decree was passed by learned trial Court to the effect that<\/p>\n<p>the plaintiffs were the owners of the suit land. Aggrieved against the<\/p>\n<p>same, defendants had filed an appeal before the Court of learned<\/p>\n<p>District Judge, Amritsar, which was decided by learned Additional<\/p>\n<p>District Judge, Amritsar.\n<\/p>\n<p>          During pendency of appeal, Ajit Singh, defendant No.1 to the<\/p>\n<p>suit died and before learned lower Appellate Court, his legal<\/p>\n<p>representatives were brought on record. Before the learned lower<\/p>\n<p>Appellate Court it was urged by the appellants that a fraud had been<\/p>\n<p>played upon them. Mukhtiar Singh, respondent\/plaintiff No.3 had<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> Regular Second Appeal No. 1757 of 2008                              5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>suffered a statement in the Court of Collector, Amritsar, that he had no<\/p>\n<p>concern whatsoever with the suit property. This statement was made in<\/p>\n<p>appeal against sanction of mutation. Learned Appellate Court below<\/p>\n<p>held that written statement was filed by the appellants to the suit as<\/p>\n<p>defendants. After framing of issues, when the case was         fixed for<\/p>\n<p>evidence, they abandoned the suit. Nobody appeared on their behalf<\/p>\n<p>and the suit was decreed ex-parte. Relying upon the testimony of the<\/p>\n<p>witnesses findings of learned trial Court were upheld.<\/p>\n<p>          I have heard Sh. V.K. Sandhir, Advocate, appearing for the<\/p>\n<p>appellants-defendants. He filed an application under Order 41 Rule 27<\/p>\n<p>CPC to permit appellants to adduce additional affidavit and has stated<\/p>\n<p>that the order of Collector, Amritsar should be taken on record as<\/p>\n<p>Malook Singh, Tarsem Singh and Mukhtiar Singh, plaintiffs\/respondents,<\/p>\n<p>had admitted the claim of the appellants before the Additional Deputy<\/p>\n<p>Commissioner, exercising the powers of Collector. Mr. Sandhir states<\/p>\n<p>that this had happened on 11.3.2002 and the suit had been decreed on<\/p>\n<p>23.4.2002.\n<\/p>\n<p>          I find no merit in this contention of Mr. Sandhir. Suit was<\/p>\n<p>proceeded ex-parte on 20.4.2001 and from 20.4.2001 to 11.3.2002, it<\/p>\n<p>was incumbent upon the appellants to appear before the Court and<\/p>\n<p>acquaint regarding the alleged admission of the plaintiffs. A finding of<\/p>\n<p>fact has been recorded by learned lower Appellate Court. Without any<\/p>\n<p>basis having been laid, I can extend no credence to the submissions<\/p>\n<p>made before me by learned counsel for the appellants.<\/p>\n<p>          From the acts and conduct of the appellants, there is nothing<\/p>\n<p>on the record for them to urge that any substantial question of law is<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> Regular Second Appeal No. 1757 of 2008                             6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>made out.\n<\/p>\n<p>         Facts appreciated by the Courts below require no re-appraisal.<\/p>\n<p>Hence, there is no merit and the present appeal is dismissed.<\/p>\n<p>                                          (Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia)<br \/>\n                                                               Judge<br \/>\nOctober 20, 2008<br \/>\n&#8220;DK&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Punjab-Haryana High Court Dilbag Singh And Others vs Malook Singh And Others on 20 October, 2008 Regular Second Appeal No. 1757 of 2008 1 In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana, at Chandigarh.
