The brief facts of the case in the nutshell is as follows:<br \/>\n\tOn 16.12.1971, a registered mortgage has been executed by the second<br \/>\ndefendant on behalf of the defendants in favour of the plaintiff.  In the said<br \/>\ndocument, it is mentioned that a sum of Rs.10,000\/- was received by the<br \/>\ndefendants, which is used for the re-purchase of the properties sold in favour<br \/>\nof one Narayanasamy Naicker and the said sum has been paid by the plaintiff in<br \/>\nthe presence of the defendants to Narayanasamy Naicker.  The document also says<br \/>\nthat another sum of Rs.6,000\/- has been received for family necessity and for<br \/>\nsmall loans and a further sum of Rs.10,000\/- has to be utilised by the plaintiff<br \/>\nfor clearing the debts of the defendants from one Alagarsamy Naicker.  It is<br \/>\nfurther mentioned in the said document that the plaintiff will have to receive<br \/>\nthe promissory note from the said Alagarsamy Naicer after payment of Rs.10,000\/-<br \/>\n.  According to the plaintiff, he has paid the said sum of Rs.10,000\/- to<br \/>\nAlagarsamy Naicker as evidenced by Ex.A7.  But the defendants have not paid the<br \/>\namount mentioned in the mortgage deed, as marked in Ex.A6.  Therefore, the<br \/>\nplaintiff was constrained to issue notice, to which the second defendant replied<br \/>\nsaying that  repayment will be made in the month of July, 1979.  Since no amount<br \/>\nhas been paid, the plaintiff was constrained to issue a legal notice and after<br \/>\nreceiving the reply, denying the contents of the legal notice, he was<br \/>\nconstrained to file the suit for recovery of amount as mentioned in the mortgage<br \/>\ndeed. \tThe defendants have filed the written statement stating that it is<br \/>\nno doubt true that Ex.A6 has been executed by the second defendant but only a<br \/>\nsum of Rs.10,000\/- has been received for the purpose of purchasing the property<br \/>\nfrom Narayanasamy Naicker and thereafter, a sum of Rs.3,000\/- alone was received<br \/>\ntowards the expenses for the execution of the mortgage deed.  The defendants<br \/>\nspecifically denied that a sum of Rs.6,000\/- has been received for clearing the<br \/>\nfamily debts and family necessity.  The defendants has also denied that there is<br \/>\nno loan due to Alagarsamy Naicker and it is further denied that no promissory<br \/>\nnote has been executed in favour of the Alagarsamy Naicker and therefore, there<br \/>\nis no question of discharge of the said loan by the plaintiff.  It is the<br \/>\nfurther case of the defendants that out of the sum of Rs.13,000\/- received, a<br \/>\nsum of Rs.8,000\/- has been repaid to the plaintiff.  Hence, the defendants<br \/>\nprayed for dismissal of the suit.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_2\">\t3. The trial Court has framed the following issues for consideration which<br \/>\nare as follows:\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_3\">\t&#8220;1. Whether the suit mortgage is not supported to the extent of<br \/>\nRs.13,000\/- as alleged by the defendants in para 5 of the written statement is<br \/>\ntrue?\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_4\">\t2. Whether the allegation of the defendants that they had paid Rs.8,000\/-<br \/>\ntowards the suit mortgage during 1972 is true?\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_5\">\t3. Whether the defendants are entitled to the benefits of debt relief act<br \/>\n13\/80 and Act 13\/82?\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_6\">\t4. To what relief if any is the plaintiff entitled?&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_7\">\t4. On behalf of the plaintiff\/appellant, 14 documents have been marked and<br \/>\ntwo witnesses have been examined including the plaintiff as P.W.1.  Similarly,<br \/>\non behalf of the defendants, three documents have been marked and only one<br \/>\nwitness has been examined, who is none other than the first defendant.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_8\">\t5. The trial Court has granted a decree for a sum of Rs.16,000\/- by<br \/>\nholding that the amount given to the Narayanasamy Naicker by the plaintiff and<br \/>\nthe amount of Rs.6,000\/- given to the defendants are true and genuine.  The<br \/>\ntrial Court has rejected the contentions of the plaintiff regarding the<br \/>\nremaining amount of Rs.10,000\/- by which, the plaintiff is said to have<br \/>\ndischarged the loan of the defendants, by holding that the plaintiff has not<br \/>\nproved the same.  Similarly, the Court below has rejected the contentions of the<br \/>\ndefendants that a sum of Rs.8,000\/- has been paid.  Therefore, challenging the<br \/>\nsaid judgment and decree of the Court below, the plaintiff\/petitioner has<br \/>\npreferred the present appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_9\">\t6. It is also brought to the knowledge of this Court by both the learned<br \/>\ncounsels that the defendants has also filed an appeal before the Hon&#8217;ble High<br \/>\nCourt in A.S.No.109 of 1992, but the same was dismissed as abated for not taking<br \/>\nsteps.  However, the plaintiff has taken steps in the present appeal.<br \/>\nTherefore, the only issue  which is to be considered is as to whether the<br \/>\nplaintiff is entitled to get a decree as sought for, in the plaint of not?\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_10\">\t7. The appellant in his evidence has stated that the promissory note<br \/>\nobtained from Alagarsamy Naicker dated 21.04.1971 was misplaced and therefore,<br \/>\nhe produced Ex.A7, which is a receipt signed by the said Alagarsamy Naicker.<br \/>\nThe trial Court has held that non-production of the promissory note raised doubt<br \/>\nabout the case of the plaintiff, that there was no mention of the same in Ex.A1<br \/>\nnotice and there is no explanation as to why the said amount has not been paid<br \/>\nimmediately.  The trial Court has also found fault with the appellant that no<br \/>\nwitnesses have signed in Ex.A7 receipt.  Therefore, on those grounds, the trial<br \/>\nCourt has rejected the relief sought for by the appellant.  In so far as the sum<br \/>\nof Rs.10,000\/- is concerned, it is said to have been given in favour of<br \/>\nAlagarsamy Naicker for discharging the debts of the defendants.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_11\">\t8. The contentions of the learned counsel for the appellant is as follows:<br \/>\n\tThe learned counsel for the appellant submitted that admittedly Ex.A6,<br \/>\nmortgage deed is a registered document and indisputably signed by the second<br \/>\ndefendant.  The second defendant has also admitted the execution.  Therefore,<br \/>\nthe learned counsel for the appellant submitted that the trial Court ought to<br \/>\nhave decreed the suit as prayed for, by passing reliance upon the Sections. 91 &amp;<br \/>\n92 of the <a href=\"\/doc\/1953529\/\" id=\"a_1\">Indian Evidence Act<\/a>, 1872.  According to the learned counsel that the<br \/>\ndefendants have admitted the execution and they cannot question the contents of<br \/>\nthe document that too after admitting the portion of the same.  It is further<br \/>\nsubmitted that the Court below has wrongly rejected Ex.A7 and put the onus on<br \/>\nthe plaintiff whereas, it is heavily on the defendants.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_12\">\t9. Per contra, the learned counsel for the respondents submitted that in<br \/>\nthe absence of any evidence on behalf of the appellant to prove the existence<br \/>\nand discharge of the debts, the appeal is liable to be dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_13\">\t10. I have considered the rival submissions of the learned counsels for<br \/>\nthe parties.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_14\">\t11. It is the admitted fact that Ex.A6 has been executed by the second<br \/>\ndefendant on her own as well as   on behalf of the other defendants as well.<br \/>\nThe defendants also admitted that they have received a sum of Rs.10,000\/- for<br \/>\nre-purchasing the property from one Narayanasamy Naicker.  Therefore, this Court<br \/>\nis of the opinion that it is not open to the defendants to contend that they<br \/>\nhave not received the amount mentioned in Ex.A6 and the onus is on the plaintiff<br \/>\nto prove about his debts and the subsequent discharge by the plaintiff.<br \/>\nFurther, it is seen that it is not specifically pleaded that Ex.A6  is a sham<br \/>\nand nominal document, which is obtained by fraud, intimidation or want of<br \/>\ncapacity to execute the said document.  In this connection, it is useful to<br \/>\nrefer the provisions of Sections.91 and 92 of the <a href=\"\/doc\/1953529\/\" id=\"a_1\">Indian Evidence Act<\/a>, 1872,<br \/>\ncontained in Chapter 6.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_15\">\t12. Chapter 6 speaks about the execution of oral documentary evidence.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_16\">\ta) <a href=\"\/doc\/205529\/\" id=\"a_2\">Section 91<\/a> of the Indian Evidence Act 1872 is extracted hereunder for<br \/>\nready reference:\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_17\">\tEvidence of terms of contracts, grants and other dispositions of property<br \/>\nreduced to form of document.- When the terms of a contract, or of a grant, or of<br \/>\nany other disposition of property, have been reduced to the form of a document,<br \/>\nand in all cases in which any matter is required by law to be reduced to the<br \/>\nform of a document, no evidence shall be given in proof of the terms of such<br \/>\ncontract, grant or other disposition of property, or of such matter, except the<br \/>\ndocument itself, or secondary evidence of its contents in cases in which<br \/>\nsecondary evidence is admissible under the provisions herein before contained.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_18\">\tb) <a href=\"\/doc\/1790262\/\" id=\"a_3\">Section 92<\/a> of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 is also extracted hereunder<br \/>\nfor ready reference:\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_19\">\tExclusion of evidence of oral agreement.-When the terms of any such<br \/>\ncontract, grant or other disposition of property, or any matter required by law<br \/>\nto be reduced to the form of a document, have been proved according to the last<br \/>\nsection, no evidence of any oral agreement or statement shall be admitted, as<br \/>\nbetween the parties to any such instrument or their representatives in interest,<br \/>\nfor the purpose of contradicting, varying, adding to, or subtracting from, its<br \/>\nterms:\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_20\">\tProviso (1).-Any fact may be proved which would invalidate any document,<br \/>\nor which would entitle any person to any decree or order relating thereto; such<br \/>\nas fraud, intimidation, illegality, want of due execution, want of capacity in<br \/>\nany contracting party, [want or failure] of consideration, or mistake in fact or<br \/>\nlaw.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_21\">\tProviso (2).-The existence of any separate oral agreement as to any matter<br \/>\non which a document is silent, and which is not inconsistent with its terms, may<br \/>\nbe proved.  In considering whether or not this proviso applies, the Court shall<br \/>\nhave regard to the degree of formality of the document.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_22\">\tProviso (3).-The existence of any separate oral agreement, constituting a<br \/>\ncondition precedent to the attaching of any obligation under any such contract,<br \/>\ngrant or disposition of property, may be proved.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_23\">\tProviso (4).-The existence of any distinct subsequent oral agreement to<br \/>\nrescind or modify any such contract, grant or disposition of property, may be<br \/>\nproved, except in cases in which such contract, grant or disposition of property<br \/>\nis by law required to be in writing, or has been registered according to the law<br \/>\nin force for the time being as to the registration of documents.<br \/>\n\tProviso (5).-Any usage or custom by which incidents not expressly<br \/>\nmentioned in any contract are usually annexed to contracts of that description,<br \/>\nmay be proved:\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_24\">\tProvided that the annexing of such incident would not be repugnant to or<br \/>\ninconsistent with, the express terms of the contract.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_25\">\tProviso (6).-Any fact may be proved which show in what manner the language<br \/>\nof a document is related to existing facts.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_26\">\t13. A perusal of the above said provisions would clearly show that when a<br \/>\nparty to a document admits its due execution then, he cannot turn round and<br \/>\nchallenge the terms contained therein.  However, it is still open to the said<br \/>\nperson to contend that the document is sham and nominal and vitiated by fraud.<br \/>\nIn other words, if the above said party, who executes the document is able to<br \/>\nsatisfy the provisos, the said party is entitled to succeed in his contentions.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_27\">\t14. While making such a plea, the party concern who speaks against the<br \/>\nregistered document will have to make out a strong case in support of his<br \/>\ncontentions.  In such a situation, the onus is heavily on the party who speaks<br \/>\nagainst the document.\tTherefore, it is permissible to a party to a document to<br \/>\ncontend and prove that the deed was intended to acted upon but only a sham and<br \/>\nnominal document.  However, the said party cannot go against the terms of the<br \/>\ndocument  after admitting the character of the document.  In other words, the<br \/>\nterms of the documents in which a person is a party cannot be varying on<br \/>\ncontradicting by oral evidence to that of the document itself as sham and<br \/>\nnominal is one thing and to say that the content of the document is not correct<br \/>\nis another thing.  In this connection, it is useful to refer the judgment of the<br \/>\nHon&#8217;ble Supreme Court reported in 2003 (6) SCC 595 (Roop Kumar Vs. Mohan<br \/>\nThedani) wherein, the Hon&#8217;ble Supreme Court has read as follows:\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_28\">\t&#8220;19. <a href=\"\/doc\/205529\/\" id=\"a_4\">Sections 91<\/a> and <a href=\"\/doc\/1790262\/\" id=\"a_5\">92<\/a> apply only when the document on the face of it<br \/>\ncontains or appears to contain all the terms of the contract.  <a href=\"\/doc\/205529\/\" id=\"a_6\">Section 91<\/a> is<br \/>\nconcerned solely with mode of proof of a document with limitation imposed by<br \/>\n<a href=\"\/doc\/1790262\/\" id=\"a_7\">Section 92<\/a> relates only to the parties to the document.  If after the document<br \/>\nhas been produced to prove its terms  under <a href=\"\/doc\/205529\/\" id=\"a_8\">Section 91<\/a>, provisions of <a href=\"\/doc\/1790262\/\" id=\"a_9\">Section 92<\/a><br \/>\ncome into operation for the purpose of excluding evidence of any oral agreement<br \/>\nor statement for the purpose of contracting, varying, adding or subtracting from<br \/>\nits terms.  <a href=\"\/doc\/205529\/\" id=\"a_10\">Sections 91<\/a> and <a href=\"\/doc\/1790262\/\" id=\"a_11\">92<\/a> in effect supplement each other.  <a href=\"\/doc\/205529\/\" id=\"a_12\">Section 91<\/a><br \/>\nwould be inoperative without the aid of <a href=\"\/doc\/1790262\/\" id=\"a_13\">Section 92<\/a>, and similarly <a href=\"\/doc\/1790262\/\" id=\"a_14\">Section 92<\/a><br \/>\nwould be inoperative without the aid of <a href=\"\/doc\/205529\/\" id=\"a_15\">Section 91<\/a>.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_29\">In 2007 (3) MLJ 467 (Bhandari Construction Company Vs. Narayan Gopal Upadhye)<br \/>\nwherein, the Hon&#8217;ble Supreme Court has held is hereunder extracted for useful<br \/>\nreference:\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_30\">\t&#8220;15. When the terms of the transaction are reduced to writing, it is<br \/>\nimpossible to lead evidence to contradict its terms in view of <a href=\"\/doc\/205529\/\" id=\"a_16\">Section 91<\/a> of the<br \/>\nEvidence Act.  There is no case that any of the provisos to <a href=\"\/doc\/1790262\/\" id=\"a_17\">Section 92<\/a> of the<br \/>\nAct are attracted in this case.  Why the case that was sought to be spoken to by<br \/>\nthe respondent was not set up by him in the complaint was not explained.  The<br \/>\ncase set up in evidence was completely at variance with the case in the<br \/>\ncomplaint.  There was no evidence to show that the consideration was to be<br \/>\nR%s.9,00,000\/-, especially, in the light of the recitals in the registered<br \/>\nagreement.  There was also no document to show the payment of Rs.4,00,000\/- by<br \/>\nway of cash.  Hence, this was no evidence to show the balance amount due under<br \/>\nthe agreement after the admitted payment of Rs.5,00,000\/- was paid.  The<br \/>\naffidavit produced before the State Forum and the evidence of the colleague of<br \/>\nthe respondent is clearly inadmissable and insufficient to prove any such<br \/>\npayment.  Thus, the case set up by the respondent in his evidence was not<br \/>\nestablished.  It is in that situation that the District Forum, taking note of<br \/>\nthe payment of Rs.5,00,000\/- and the failure of the respondent to encash the<br \/>\ncheque for Rs.5,00,000\/- that was returned by the company, ordered the<br \/>\ncomplainant to pay the balance amount due under the transaction as evidenced by<br \/>\nthe written instrument and take delivery of the premises in question and in the<br \/>\nalternative, gave him the option to take back the sum of Rs.5,00,000\/- with<br \/>\ninterest.  Neither the State Commission, nor the National Commission has given<br \/>\nany sustainable reason for differing from the conclusion of the District Forum.<br \/>\nA mere suspicion that builders in the country are prone to take a part of the<br \/>\nsale amount in cash, is no ground to accept the story of payment of<br \/>\nRs.4,00,000\/- especially when such a payment had not even been set up in the<br \/>\ncomplaint before the District Forum.  Not only that, there was no independent<br \/>\nevidence to support the payment of such a sum of Rs.4,00,000\/- except the ipse<br \/>\ndixit of the respondent.  The affidavit of the Bank employee filed in the State<br \/>\nCommission cannot certainly be accepted as evidence of such a payment.  Payment<br \/>\nof such a sum had clearly been denied by the company.  The respondent had,<br \/>\ntherefore, to prove such a payment.  His case that the purchase price was<br \/>\nRs.9,00,000\/-, itself stands discredited by the recitals in the agreement dated<br \/>\n27.07.1997 in which the purchase price was recited as Rs.7,75,000\/-.  Not only<br \/>\nthat, the respondent did not have a receipt for evidencing the payment of<br \/>\nRs.4,00,000\/- and if the amount was paid on 05.07.1997 or 08.07.1997, as claimed<br \/>\nby him, he would certainly have ensured that the payment was acknowledged in the<br \/>\nagreement for sale executed on 27.07.1997.  The agreement for sale actually<br \/>\nspeaks of his obligation to pay the balance to make up Rs.7,75,000\/- after<br \/>\nacknowledging receipt of Rs.5,00,000\/-.  The respondent is not a layman.  He is<br \/>\na practising advocate.  According to him, he specialises in documentation.  He<br \/>\ncannot, therefore, plead ignorance about the existence of the recital in the<br \/>\nagreement.  He cannot plead ignorance of its implications.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_31\">In the judgment reported in 2009 (2) CTC 861 (Vimal Chand Ghevarchand Jain &amp;<br \/>\nOthers Vs. Ramakant Eknath Jajoo), the Hon&#8217;ble Supreme Court has held that a<br \/>\nheavy burden of proof lies upon the defendants to show that the transactions was<br \/>\na sham and nominal one. Therefore, on a consideration of the above said legal<br \/>\npapers, this Court is of the view that the defendants cannot contend against the<br \/>\nterms of the documents in Ex.A6.  Similarly, the trial Court has committed a<br \/>\nserious error in shifting the onus on the plaintiff to prove his case in support<br \/>\nof Ex.A6.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_32\">\t15. In the case on hand, it is a specific case of the defendants that they<br \/>\ndid not owe any money to Alagarsamy Naicker and therefore, it is their further<br \/>\ndenial that no such amount has been discharged by the plaintiff.  Hence, this<br \/>\nCourt is of the view that there is a denial of the  debts itself and the<br \/>\nquestion of plaintiff proving the discharge does not arise for consideration.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_33\">\t16. It is further seen that when the onus is heavily on the defendants to<br \/>\nprove as to whether the document is sham and nominal, the failure of the second<br \/>\ndefendant, who executed the document in not deposing before the court making<br \/>\nherself for examination would lead to adverse inference.  In fact, the Hon&#8217;ble<br \/>\nSupreme Court in A.I.R. 2007 SC 2191 (M\/s.Kamakshi Builders Vs. M\/s.Ambedkar<br \/>\nEducational Society &amp; Others) has taken a view in such a case, adverse inference<br \/>\ncan be drawn against the party.
