The suit is one<\/p>\n<p>for return of advance amount and damages.            It is<\/p>\n<p>the case of the plaintiff that the plaintiff and<\/p>\n<p>defendants have entered into an agreement for<\/p>\n<p>sale on 22.3.93 for purchase of 72= cents of dry<\/p>\n<p>land and one acre of paddy land for a total<\/p>\n<p>consideration of Rs.2,75,000\/- and towards the<\/p>\n<p>sale  consideration     Rs.40,000\/-         was   paid  as<\/p>\n<p>advance  and  as   per     the    stipulation      in  the<\/p>\n<p>agreement the document has to be registered on<\/p>\n<p>or before 3.5.93. There is also a stipulation in<\/p>\n<p>the agreement that if the plaintiff commits<\/p>\n<p>A.S. 127 OF 2001<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_1\">                            -2-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>default, is liable to pay to the defendant the<\/p>\n<p>amount paid as advance plus another Rs.40,000\/-.<\/p>\n<p>According      to  the  plaintiff,  defendants have<\/p>\n<p>committed the breach, hence the suit.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_1\">      2.   On   the  other   hand defendants   would<\/p>\n<p>contend it was the plaintiff who had committed<\/p>\n<p>breach of the contract and therefore he is not<\/p>\n<p>entitled      to   any  amount   and  as   per  the<\/p>\n<p>stipulations in the document the defendant is<\/p>\n<p>entitled to appropriate the amount given as<\/p>\n<p>advance.      The trial court on an appreciation of<\/p>\n<p>the materials granted a decree for return of the<\/p>\n<p>advance amount and it is against that decision<\/p>\n<p>the defendants have come up in appeal.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_2\">      3.   Heard the learned senior counsel for the<\/p>\n<p>appellants as well as the young counsel for the<\/p>\n<p>respondent.      The crux of the matter depends upon<\/p>\n<p>the question who has committed the breach of the<\/p>\n<p>A.S. 127 OF 2001<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_1\">                            -3-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>contract and whether the party had sustained<\/p>\n<p>damages so as to claim damages over and above<\/p>\n<p>the    advance    amount  paid  or  whether by   the<\/p>\n<p>conduct of the plaintiff the defendants had<\/p>\n<p>sustained      damages  so  as  to  disentitle   the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiff to ask for return of the amount.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_3\">      4.   The parties certainly had not come to<\/p>\n<p>the     court   with  the  entire  facts  is   quite<\/p>\n<p>evident.       The plaintiff submits that on 2.5.93<\/p>\n<p>on coming to know that there was a liability in<\/p>\n<p>the property approaches the defendants and ask<\/p>\n<p>for the documents.       According to the plaintiff<\/p>\n<p>the defendants promise to come on 3.5.93 to the<\/p>\n<p>Registrar&#8217;s      office   with  the   document   and<\/p>\n<p>accordingly the plaintiff had gone there and to<\/p>\n<p>his dismay defendants did not come.        According<\/p>\n<p>to him he had issued a notice regarding this<\/p>\n<p>which is marked as Ext.A5.      Though the notice is<\/p>\n<p>A.S. 127 OF 2001<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_2\">                          -4-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>dated 2.5.93 it is sent only on 7.5.93 and the<\/p>\n<p>defendants      had received it  only  on   9.5.93<\/p>\n<p>whereas     Ext.A6  is  a  notice issued  by   the<\/p>\n<p>defendants to the plaintiff dated 4.5.93.   It is<\/p>\n<p>therefore contended that Ext.A5 notice is only<\/p>\n<p>sent     after   the  receipt  of  Ext.A6   notice<\/p>\n<p>suppressing the fact and so it is an indicator<\/p>\n<p>to show that it was the plaintiff who had<\/p>\n<p>committed the breach.     Now as per the terms of<\/p>\n<p>the agreement the plaintiff is liable to pay<\/p>\n<p>balance amount and get the document registered<\/p>\n<p>on or before 3.5.93.    As per the stipulations in<\/p>\n<p>the agreement defendants are bound to measure<\/p>\n<p>the property to find out the exact extent and if<\/p>\n<p>it is on the increase more amount to be paid and<\/p>\n<p>if it is on a lesser side reduce the amount. It<\/p>\n<p>is also very clearly stated that the defendants<\/p>\n<p>have to discharge the liability on the property<\/p>\n<p>A.S. 127 OF 2001<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_3\">                           -5-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>on    or   before   3.5.93.   So  it  is  in   this<\/p>\n<p>background we have to analyze who would have<\/p>\n<p>committed       the breach.    The  defendant   had<\/p>\n<p>admitted that there was a liability with the co-<\/p>\n<p>operative      bank by  mortgaging  this  property.<\/p>\n<p>Admittedly the defendant had not taken any steps<\/p>\n<p>to liquidate that loan before the crucial date<\/p>\n<p>3.5.93. As observed by the Court below if there<\/p>\n<p>had been measurement of property and it has been<\/p>\n<p>recorded it would have found a place in Ext.A6<\/p>\n<p>notice.     It is also absent there.  Therefore the<\/p>\n<p>two ingredients necessary to be satisfied by the<\/p>\n<p>defendants are not complied.        It is in this<\/p>\n<p>background when the evidence of plaintiff is<\/p>\n<p>analyzed that he approached the defendants for<\/p>\n<p>the purpose of getting document and that the<\/p>\n<p>defendants      fail to  come  to  the  Registrar&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>office receives significance.     It is also to be<\/p>\n<p>A.S. 127 OF 2001<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_4\">                            -6-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>borne in mind after all the agreement is one or<\/p>\n<p>sale of immovable property.      The time fixed for<\/p>\n<p>sale of immovable property need not always be<\/p>\n<p>the essence of the contract.          Therefore the<\/p>\n<p>inaction of this side or that side has resulted<\/p>\n<p>in the contract being broken. A person who<\/p>\n<p>wanted to purchase the property will purchase<\/p>\n<p>the property only on satisfaction regarding the<\/p>\n<p>correct extent of the property as well as the<\/p>\n<p>fact    that    there  is  no   encumbrance  on the<\/p>\n<p>property.         So the positive acts were to be<\/p>\n<p>done by the defendants.        Instead of doing the<\/p>\n<p>same what the defendants had done is that they<\/p>\n<p>have executed an agreement Ext.B1 with a third<\/p>\n<p>party for the purchase of another property and<\/p>\n<p>had     paid    Rs.15,000\/-  as  advance   and that<\/p>\n<p>transaction also did not materialize. When it is<\/p>\n<p>found that it is at the fault of the defendants<\/p>\n<p>A.S. 127 OF 2001<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_5\">                           -7-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>that the contract has not gone into it has to be<\/p>\n<p>stated it is for them to return the advance<\/p>\n<p>amount.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_4\">      5.   So far as the damages is concerned since<\/p>\n<p>there is no evidence to show that on account of<\/p>\n<p>the     non-happening   of    the  transaction the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiff has suffered any damages the Court<\/p>\n<p>below did not rightly grant him damages as well.<\/p>\n<p>So what the Court has done is to direct the<\/p>\n<p>defendants      to  pay back   the  amount  to the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiff for the reason it was the defendants<\/p>\n<p>who had committed the breach of the contract.<\/p>\n<p>In this case there is no unjust enrichment for<\/p>\n<p>the plaintiff for the reason the amount which he<\/p>\n<p>had advanced only is ordered to be paid back to<\/p>\n<p>him. Therefore from these materials I do not see<\/p>\n<p>any     ground   to  interfere  with  the  decision<\/p>\n<p>rendered      by  the trial   court. Therefore the<\/p>\n<p>A.S. 127 OF 2001<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_6\">                        -8-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>appeal lacks merits and the same is dismissed<\/p>\n<p>but under the circumstances without any order as<\/p>\n<p>to costs.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_5\">\n<p id=\"p_6\">                        M.N.
