Plaintiff,<\/p>\n<p>     as   such, executed a conditional sale deed and it was<\/p>\n<p>     agreed that after completion of five years, plaintiff<\/p>\n<p>     would      pay        Rs.5000\/- to the defendant and                          defendant<\/p>\n<p>     would       reconvey              the     property        in      favour        of       the<\/p>\n<p>     plaintiff.             Plaintiff          contends that he had paid                       an<\/p>\n<p>     amount      of Rs.3175\/- to the brother of the                                defendant<\/p>\n<p>     and presented Regular Civil Suit No.94\/86 against the<\/p>\n<p>     defendant         for        reconveyance.             But the said suit                 was<\/p>\n<p>     withdrawn<\/p>\n<p>                       as it was premature.

In         response          to the suit summons,                  defendant<\/p>\n<p>     appeared         and resisted the suit.                      Defendant          admitted<\/p>\n<p>     execution of the document dated 04.05.1983.                                     However,<\/p>\n<p>     he   contended              that        period         prescribed          under         the<\/p>\n<p>     document         came        to an end on 04.05.1988.

The        trial Court, after considering pleadings\n\n     of     the     parties, framed as many as four                     issues        and\n\n     after        receiving evidence led by the parties, came to\n\n\n\n\n                                             \n     the     conclusion          that plaintiff has            established            his\n\n     case     and        as\n                              \n                               such granted decree in favour                   of     the\n\n     plaintiff          by     judgment and decree dated                21.01.1993.\n                             \n<\/pre>\n<p>     The trial Court recorded a finding that the plaintiff<\/p>\n<p>     has     proved that the defendant has refused to deliver<\/p>\n<p>     the     property          in his favour so also the trial                    Court<\/p>\n<p>     has     recorded a finding in affirmative in respect                              of<\/p>\n<p>     the     issue,          as to &#8220;whether the plaintiff was and                      is<\/p>\n<p>     ready        and     willing      to     perform      his      part       of     the<\/p>\n<p>     contract&#8221;.

If      we     peruse    the document,             which        is     the<\/p>\n<p>     foundation            for     institution         of       the      suit,          i.e.<\/p>\n<p>     unconditional             sale    deed at Exhibit-44, it would                       be<\/p>\n<p>     evident        that the said document has been executed                              by<\/p>\n<p>     the     plaintiff           in favour of defendant on                  04.05.1983<\/p>\n<p>     thereby        transferring the suit property in favour                              of<\/p>\n<p>     defendant for consideration of Rs.5000\/- for a period<\/p>\n<p>     of     five years.           It is specifically mentioned in                        the<\/p>\n<p>     document that the property has been transferred for a<\/p>\n<p>     period        of     five     years        i.e.        from      04.05.1983          to<\/p>\n<p>     03.05.1988 and the property was supposed to remain in<\/p>\n<p>     possession           of the defendant during such period.                           The<\/p>\n<p>     defendant           has agreed to reconvey the property                         after<\/p>\n<p>     accepting the amount of Rs.5000\/- after expiration of<\/p>\n<p>     the period.           It is thus clear that the period covered<\/p>\n<p>     by     the     deed        Exhibit-44 was to come to                  an     end     on<\/p>\n<p>     03.05.1988.               However,    plaintiff instituted                   Regular<\/p>\n<p>     Civil        Suit     No.94\/86       in the Court of              Civil       Judge,<\/p>\n<p>     Junior         Division,          Jintur    on     22.08.1986.                Relief<\/p>\n<p>     claimed in the suit was in respect of handing over of<\/p>\n<p>     possession           to     the    plaintiff       as        well      as     for      a<\/p>\n<p>     declaration           that       the sale deed dated 04.05.1983                      is<\/p>\n<p>     nominal        one        and for cancellation of the same.                         The<\/p>\n<p>     suit     was obviously instituted prior to completion of<\/p>\n<p>     the     period of five years, as stipulated in the                                deed<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                             ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 13:34:06 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                          :10:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>     Exhibit-44.            The cause of action for presentation of<\/p>\n<p>     the     suit, as mentioned in paragraph 5 of the plaint,<\/p>\n<p>     is     31.07.1986.        The plaintiff, in the said suit, did<\/p>\n<p>     not     claim     redemption of the              mortgage.           Obviously,<\/p>\n<p>     earlier        suit     being R.C.S.        No.94\/86 was founded                   on<\/p>\n<p>     the     cause of action in respect of alleged refusal by<\/p>\n<p>     the     defendant to hand over possession on 31.07.1986.\n<\/p>\n<p>     Moreover,         the      distinguishing              feature         is       that<\/p>\n<p>     plaintiff        did not ask for redemption of mortgage and<\/p>\n<p>     he could not have asked, as the period covered by the<\/p>\n<p>     deed     was     yet     to     come       to    an     end.         Obviously,<\/p>\n<p>     therefore,        after       an     objection was          raised         by     the<\/p>\n<p>     defendant<\/p>\n<p>                      in respect of maintainability of the suit,<\/p>\n<p>     plaintiff presented an application Exhibit-24 seeking<\/p>\n<p>     withdrawal        of     the       suit    and    the      Court       permitted<\/p>\n<p>     plaintiff        to     withdraw the suit.             Withdrawal of              the<\/p>\n<p>     earlier suit was unconditional.\n<\/p>\n<p>     12.       If      we peruse the plaint in instant suit i.e.<\/p>\n<p>     R.C.S.         No.181\/89,          suit is filed for redemption                    of<\/p>\n<p>     mortgage as well as for recovery of possession of the<\/p>\n<p>     property.         It     is specifically stated in the                      plaint<\/p>\n<p>     that     the     period        prescribed        under      the      registered<\/p>\n<p>     conditional sale deed dated 04.05.1983 has come to an<\/p>\n<p>     end     and     after completion of period of                     five      years,<\/p>\n<p>     plaintiff        has got a right to redeem the mortgage and<\/p>\n<p>     recover the possession.

On     perusal        of     the<\/p>\n<p>     pleadings           in both the suits, it is evident that both<\/p>\n<p>     the     suits are founded on different causes of                              action<\/p>\n<p>     and      are         filed        in    totally        different            set      of<\/p>\n<p>     circumstances.

However,      no     relief         in      respect        of\n\n     redemption           of     mortgage was claimed.                The      plaintiff\n\n\n\n\n                                             \n     could     not        have asked for redemption of mortgage                           as\n\n     the     period\n                              \n                              prescribed under the deed of                  04.05.1983\n\n     was yet to come to an end.\n                             \n     13.        Considering             the pleadings raised in both the\n\n<\/pre>\n<p>     suits as well as causes of action stated, it is quite<\/p>\n<p>     clear     that           both the suits cannot be said to                     be     in<\/p>\n<p>     respect of a common &#8220;subject matter&#8221;.

For determination of the            question,<\/p>\n<p>     one has to look to the substance of the two suits and<\/p>\n<p>     not      to         their    form     and   language        only.           The<\/p>\n<p>     subject-matter of a suit can only be ascertained from<\/p>\n<p>     the     plaint       filed.      The addition of a new fact to                 a<\/p>\n<p>     set of existing facts may change the character of the<\/p>\n<p>     suit and the right to relief.\n<\/p>\n<pre>     16.       If        we\n                            ig  peruse the plaint in       the      previously\n\n<\/pre>\n<p>     instituted suit, it would be evident that the earlier<\/p>\n<p>     suit     was        presented before completion of the                period<\/p>\n<p>     prescribed          under the deed Exhibit-44.            No relief          in<\/p>\n<p>     respect        of redemption of mortgage was claimed in the<\/p>\n<p>     earlier        suit.        The suit was founded on a            different<\/p>\n<p>     cause     of action.          However, in the instant suit                i.e.<\/p>\n<p>     suit     instituted         at   subsequent      stage,        relief        in<\/p>\n<p>     respect        of    redemption of mortgage is            claimed.           So<\/p>\n<p>     also,     the       suit     is instituted after        completion           of<\/p>\n<p>     period     prescribed under the document Exhibit-44.                         In<\/p>\n<p>     this view of the matter, the &#8220;subject matter&#8221;, as has<\/p>\n<p>     been     explained          by the Apex Court in the           matter        of<\/p>\n<p>     Vallabh       Das (supra), cannot be said to be identical.\n<\/p>\n<p>     Therefore, the bar, as contended by the appellant, in<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                     ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 13:34:06 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                        :14:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>     view of the provisions of Rule 1, Order XXIII of Code<\/p>\n<p>     of     Civil        Procedure,     cannot be said     to     have       been<\/p>\n<p>     attracted.<\/p>\n<pre>\n\n\n\n\n                                                                           \n     17.

It has been observed<\/p>\n<p>     in     the        reported    matter that the cause         of     action,<\/p>\n<p>     which        is     the foundation of both the suits, was                 one<\/p>\n<p>     and the same and, therefore, subsequent suit was held<\/p>\n<p>     to be barred under the provisions of Order XXIII Rule<\/p>\n<p>     1 of the C.P.C.\n<\/p>\n<p>     .            Similar is the case in respect of judgment in<\/p>\n<p>     the case of Papinayakanahalli Venkanna and others Vs.<\/p>\n<p>     Janadri       Venkanna        Setty (by L.Rs.),<br \/>\n                                             L.Rs.) reported in                AIR<\/p>\n<p>     1985 Karnataka 166.             The reported matter is under the<\/p>\n<p>     provisions          of Karnataka Rent Control Rules and                 lays<\/p>\n<p>     down an identical principle.\n<\/p>\n<p>     .            Learned      Counsel    for the appellant has              also<\/p>\n<p>     placed       reliance on the judgment in the case of Order<\/p>\n<p>     of the Holy Cross Vs.

For         the      reasons      recorded         above,          the<\/p>\n<p>     judgments,          on which reliance is sought to be                      placed<\/p>\n<p>     by     the     appellant, are of little help and cannot                          be<\/p>\n<p>     strictly          made applicable to the facts of the instant<\/p>\n<p>     case.\n<\/p>\n<p>     19.          It     is observed that the point raised in                        the<\/p>\n<p>     Second       Appeal was not raised before both the                         Courts<\/p>\n<p>     below.         Although the memorandum of appeal                     presented<\/p>\n<p>     to     the     first appellate Court does make a                     reference<\/p>\n<p>     cursorily          to      the    objection, however,           ground        no.8<\/p>\n<p>     raised       in      the<br \/>\n                              ig    memorandum     of appeal       also       do     not<\/p>\n<p>     specifically            lay foundation for consideration of the<\/p>\n<p>     objection.              However, the question advanced, being                      a<\/p>\n<p>     question          relating       to bar for instituting              the      suit<\/p>\n<p>     itself,        as       provided under Order XXIII Rule 1,                    this<\/p>\n<p>     Court        thought it appropriate to admit the appeal                          by<\/p>\n<p>     formulating such question and the same has been dealt<\/p>\n<p>     with in this appeal for the first time.\n<\/p>\n<p>     20.          For        the reasons set out above, I do not find<\/p>\n<p>     that     the        argument       advanced    by    the      appellant          in<\/p>\n<p>     support of the objection raised is acceptable.                              There<\/p>\n<p>     is no merit in the Second Appeal and same deserves to<\/p>\n<p>     be dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                         ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 13:34:06 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                        :16:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>     21.       Appeal        is,    therefore,       dismissed.            In     the<\/p>\n<p>     facts     and circumstances of the case, there shall                          be<\/p>\n<p>     no order as to costs.             Pending Civil Applications, if<\/p>\n<p>     any, stand disposed of.\n<\/p>\n<p>     22.
