             DATE OF JUDGMENT :                 July 21, 2009<\/p>\n
                                    PRESENT<\/p>\n
                   HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE GOPAL KRISHAN VYAS
\n                   ______________________________________<\/p>\n
Reportable
\n             Mr. Rajat Dave for the appellant.\n<\/p>\n
             Mr. Rameshwar Chauhan for the respondent.<\/p>\n
                  In this second appeal filed under Section 100, C.P.C.,<\/p>\n
             the appellants are challenging the judgment and decree<\/p>\n
             dated 21.04.1992 passed by the Addl. District Judge No.1,<\/p>\n
             Udaipur in Civil Appeal No.43\/1986, whereby, the learned<\/p>\n
             appellate Court reversed the judgment and decree dated<\/p>\n
             31.08.1985 passed by Addl. Civil Judge No.1, Udaipur in<\/p>\n
             Civil Original Case No.174\/1978.\n<\/p>\n
                  Challenge is made to the adjudication made on the<\/p>\n
             issue of relief clause because the learned appellate Court<\/p>\n
             decided issues No.1, 2 and 3 in favour of the plaintiff-<\/p>\n
             appellant; but, in the relief clause denied the relief of<\/p>\n
             specific performance of agreement and passed the decree<\/p>\n
             that the appellant will be entitled to the relief of payment<\/p>\n
             of Rs.500\/- which is part-payment made by the appellant-
\n                                2<\/span><\/p>\n
plaintiff to the defendant when the agreement was<\/p>\n
executed   along   with   9%       interest   with   effect   from<\/p>\n
22.12.1973.\n<\/p>\n
     According to brief facts of the case, appellant-plaintiff<\/p>\n
preferred suit against the defendant Mangi Bai and her<\/p>\n
father for specific performance of the agreement for sale of<\/p>\n
house for consideration of Rs.4,500\/-. It is stated in the<\/p>\n
plaint that out of Rs.4,500\/-, an amount of Rs.500\/- was<\/p>\n
paid in cash towards advance; but, later on, the house was<\/p>\n
not sold to the appellant-plaintiff but sold to Bhanwar Lal<\/p>\n
and Bhanwar Lal purchased the property knowing it well<\/p>\n
that an agreement was entered into in between defendant-<\/p>\n
respondent and plaintiff-appellant.\n<\/p>\n
     After notice, written-statement was filed by the<\/p>\n
defendant and as a result of adjudication made upon the<\/p>\n
issues the trial Court dismissed the suit with cost.          The<\/p>\n
said judgment and decree was further challenged by the<\/p>\n
appellant-plaintiff in the Court of District Judge, Udaipur<\/p>\n
who transferred the case to the Addl. District Judge No.1,<\/p>\n
Udaipur.   Learned Addl. District Judge decided the appeal<\/p>\n
vide judgment dated       21.04.1992.         Learned appellate<\/p>\n
Court allowed the appeal filed by the appellant-plaintiff and<\/p>\n
finding upon issues No.1, 2 and 3 arrived at by the trial<\/p>\n
Court was reversed and said issues were decided in favour
\n                                 3<\/span><\/p>\n
of the appellant-plaintiff while holding that agreement was<\/p>\n
arrived at in between the parties.            The lower appellate<\/p>\n
Court,   however,   refused     to    grant    relief   for    specific<\/p>\n
performance of the sale of property on the ground that<\/p>\n
respondent No.2 purchased the suit property bona fide and<\/p>\n
he was not having any knowledge, so also, 19 years have<\/p>\n
passed, therefore, instead of granting decree for specific<\/p>\n
performance of agreement for sale, the appellate Court<\/p>\n
granted relief for returning the amount of Rs.500\/- paid in<\/p>\n
advance by the appellant-plaintiff to the defendant, along<\/p>\n
with 9% interest.\n<\/p>\n
     Learned    counsel   for       the   appellant     vehemently<\/p>\n
challenged the finding with regard to the relief clause given<\/p>\n
by the appellate Court, whereby, the learned appellate<\/p>\n
Court refused to grant decree for specific performance of<\/p>\n
sale and granted the other relief.        Learned counsel for the<\/p>\n
appellant argued that once the appellate Court arrived at<\/p>\n
the finding that agreement was validly executed and<\/p>\n
defendants were bound by the agreement, then, relief in<\/p>\n
toto as prayed for in the suit was to be granted; but, for<\/p>\n
unsound and baseless reasons, learned lower                   appellate<\/p>\n
Court has denied relief which is not tenable.<\/p>\n
     Learned    counsel   for       the   appellant     invited    my<\/p>\n
attention towards judgments of the apex Court reported in
\n                                4<\/span><\/p>\n
AIR 1972 SC 1520, Dr. Govind Das & Another Vs. Smt.<\/p>\n
Shanti Bai; AIR 2001 SC 1658, R.K. Mohammed Abidullah<\/p>\n
Vs. AG Abdul Wahim; and, AIR 2005 SC 1320. While citing<\/p>\n
these judgments, it is submitted by learned counsel for the<\/p>\n
appellant that the reasons for denial of basic relief is totally<\/p>\n
illegal and once it is held that valid agreement is arrived at<\/p>\n
in between the parties, then, relief cannot be denied,<\/p>\n
therefore, the judgment impugned dated 21.04.1992 to<\/p>\n
the extent of denial of the relief of specific performance of<\/p>\n
sale of property may be set aside and relief as prayed for<\/p>\n
by the appellant-plaintiff in the suit may be granted and<\/p>\n
defendants be directed to execute the sale of the property<\/p>\n
in question.\n<\/p>\n
      On the other hand, Mr. Rameshwar Chauhan, learned<\/p>\n
counsel for the respondent argued that finding arrived at<\/p>\n
by learned lower appellate Court is perverse and has no<\/p>\n
basis to stand before the eye of law.       According to him,<\/p>\n
the finding arrived at by the trial Court deserves to be<\/p>\n
upheld and cross-objection deserves to be accepted.<\/p>\n
Therefore, the judgment rendered by the first appellate<\/p>\n
Court may be set aside and this second appeal may also be<\/p>\n
dismissed.\n<\/p>\n
      I have considered the rival submissions, so also,<\/p>\n
perused the entire record of the case.\n<\/p>\n
                                5<\/span><\/p>\n
      In this case, while admitting this second appeal,<\/p>\n
following question of law was framed :\n<\/p>\n
        “Whether the plaintiff appellants can be non-
\n        suited on the ground that on the date of
\n        judgment 19 years limitation has expired
\n        irrespective of the fact that they have filed
\n        the   suit   will   within   the   limitation   as
\n        contemplated under Indian Limitation Act
\n        with promptitude ?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
      For deciding the above issue and cross-objection, it is<\/p>\n
worthwhile to consider the important aspect of the matter<\/p>\n
that appellant himself has made alternative prayer in the<\/p>\n
suit with regard to granting relief to him. Following relief<\/p>\n
was prayed for in the suit :\n<\/p>\n

     The learned trial Court dismissed the suit after<\/p>\n
framing 4 issues including issue whether defendant No.2<\/p>\n
Bhanwar Lal s\/o Saw Ram purchased the property having<\/p>\n
any knowledge or not.     The first appellate Court though<\/p>\n
deciding issues No.1, 2 and 3 in favour of appellant,<\/p>\n
accepted the finding of the trial Court with regard to issue<\/p>\n
No.4 and, while doing so, the first appellate Court<\/p>\n
observed that in relief clause of appeal, the appellant is<\/p>\n
entitled for the alternative prayer made in the suit.<\/p>\n
Further, it is observed in the judgment that property in<\/p>\n
question was sold to respondent No.2 Bhanwar Lal before<\/p>\n
19 years; meaning thereby, learned appellate Court was of<\/p>\n
the opinion that respondent No.2 Bhanwar Lal was bona<\/p>\n
fide purchaser of the property in question and he was not<\/p>\n
having any knowledge with regard to the agreement<\/p>\n
arrived at in between the plaintiff and defendant No.1.<\/p>\n
     It is also obvious from the relief clause made by the<\/p>\n
appellant-plaintiff himself that he has made a prayer<\/p>\n
before the trial Court that in the event of not granting<\/p>\n
relief of execution of the sale-deed, he may be granted<\/p>\n
relief for payment of his money.     Therefore, apparently<\/p>\n
the finding of the learned appellate Court is not perverse
\n                                 7<\/span><\/p>\n
and does not require any interference.\n<\/p>\n
      For the reasons mentioned above, the question<\/p>\n
formulated by this Court while admitting this second<\/p>\n
appeal is required to be answered in favour of the<\/p>\n
defendant. With regard to the judgments cited by learned<\/p>\n
counsel for the appellant, it is worthwhile to observe that<\/p>\n
peculiar facts of this case with regard to issue No.4 speak<\/p>\n
that upon the facts of this case the judgments cited by<\/p>\n
learned counsel for the appellant are not applicable.<\/p>\n
      In this view of the matter, there is no force in this<\/p>\n
appeal, so also, I have considered the cross-objection<\/p>\n
raised by respondent-defendant.            I do not find any<\/p>\n
substance in the cross-objection so as to disturb the<\/p>\n
finding of the lower appellate Court, therefore, it is held<\/p>\n
that the learned trial Court rightly non-suited the plaintiff-<\/p>\n
appellant on the ground that sale was executed in favour<\/p>\n
of Bhanwar Lal by defendant No.1 before 19 years and,<\/p>\n
now, at this stage, property which is sold to bona fide<\/p>\n
purchaser   cannot   be   ordered     to   be    re-sold   to   the<\/p>\n
appellant-plaintiff after 19 years.    Therefore, even if suit<\/p>\n
was filed within limitation by the appellant, finding of the<\/p>\n
learned lower appellate Court with regard to granting relief<\/p>\n
to the extent of return of money does not require any<\/p>\n
interference   because    the   property    in    question      was
\n                               8<\/span><\/p>\n
purchased by third person 19 years ago.     There is thus no<\/p>\n
substance in this appeal.\n<\/p>\n
      This appeal is accordingly dismissed.          Cross-<\/p>\n
objection is also rejected.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
