RAKESH KUMAR GARG J.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
               This is plaintiffs’ second appeal challenging the judgment<\/p>\n
and decrees of the Courts below whereby suit of the plaintiffs for<\/p>\n
declaration to the effect that the plaintiffs and defendant No.6 to 28 are<\/p>\n
joint owners in possession of suit land and the sale deed dated 15.03.1995,<\/p>\n
21.03.1995 and 10.05.1995 alleged to have been executed by the<\/p>\n
deceased Parkash Kaur in favour of defendants No.1 to 3 respectively and<\/p>\n
that the alleged Will dated 29.03.1995 are the result of fraud and forgery<\/p>\n
committed by defendant Nos.1 to 5 and hence are null and void with<\/p>\n
consequential relief of permanent injunction restraining the defendant<\/p>\n
Nos.1 to 5 from interfering in the possession of and forcibly dispossessing<\/p>\n
the plaintiffs and defendants No. 6 to 28 therefrom, has been dismissed.<\/p>\n
              In brief, the case of the plaintiff-appellants was that the suit<\/p>\n
land had been joint ownership of Kartar Singh and Daulat Singh sons of<\/p>\n
Puran Singh and they inherited the same from their father and was<\/p>\n
ancestral property; that after the death of Kartar Singh, his \u00bd share in the
\n RSA No.2486 of 2004                               2<\/span><\/p>\n
suit property was inherited by plaintiffs and defendant no.6 in equal shares;<\/p>\n
that after the death of Daulat Singh, his \u00bd share in the suit property was<\/p>\n
inherited by his widow Parkash Kaur and she died issueless on 30.5.1995;<\/p>\n
that Daulat Singh was having two brothers Kartar Singh and Joginder<\/p>\n
Singh, and two sisters, namely, Kartari and Durgi and all of them pre-<\/p>\n
deceased Parkash Kaur and the plaintiffs and defendant No. 6 to 28 were<\/p>\n
sons and daughters of the aforesaid brothers and sisters of the deceased<\/p>\n
Daulat Singh and had succeeded to the estate of Parkash Kaur, after her<\/p>\n
death; that defendant No.1 Roshan Singh was brother of deceased<\/p>\n
Parkash Kaur, while defendants No. 2 to 5 were sons of defendant no.1;<\/p>\n
that deceased Parkash Kaur started showing signs of fickle mind and her<\/p>\n
mental condition started decaying about 2\/3 years prior to her death, after<\/p>\n
which she became easily susceptible to impression and influence; that the<\/p>\n
condition of Parkash Kaur further deteriorated during the last year of her<\/p>\n
life and she almost became of imbecile mind and lost the senses of free<\/p>\n
and independent judgment and discretion; that after the death of Parkash<\/p>\n
Kaur, defendants no.1 to 5 started alleging that she had executed sale<\/p>\n
deed dated 15.3.1999 in favour of defendant no.1.        Another sale deed<\/p>\n
dated 29.3.1995 in favour of defendant no.2 and the sale deed dated<\/p>\n
10.5.1999 in favour of defendant no.3 out of the property in dispute; that<\/p>\n
defendants No. 1 to 5 further alleged that Prakash Kaur executed a Will<\/p>\n
dated 29.3.1995 in favour of defendants no. 2 to 4; that the alleged sale<\/p>\n
deeds and the Will were the result of fraud and forgery committed by<\/p>\n
defendants No.1 to 5 upon Parkash Kaur; that the plaintiffs requested the<\/p>\n
defendants to admit their claim with respect to the property in dispute but<\/p>\n
they refused to do so. Hence the suit.\n<\/p>\n
               The suit was contested by defendants No.1 to 5 jointly<\/p>\n
taking up preliminary objections that the suit was barred under Order 2<\/p>\n
Rule 2 CPC. After the death of Smt. Parkash Kaur, the cause of action of
\n RSA No.2486 of 2004                                 3<\/span><\/p>\n
the present suit accrued to the plaintiffs but the plaintiff No.1 filed suit for<\/p>\n
injunction against the defendants No. 1 to 3 in which the sale deeds and<\/p>\n
the Will were referred to and the said suit was dismissed by the court of<\/p>\n
Shri Surinder Gupta, learned Additional Civil Judge (Senior Division),<\/p>\n
Hoshiarpur vide judgment dated 3.11.1997 and present plaintiff No.2 was<\/p>\n
also impleaded as a party in the said suit. The present plaintiffs, however,<\/p>\n
did not claim the relief of the present case in the said previous suit; that<\/p>\n
the suit of the plaintiffs was barred under Order 23, Rule 1(4) of the CPC<\/p>\n
as the earlier suit filed by plaintiff No.1 for declaration against the<\/p>\n
answering defendants in which the sale deeds which are in issue in the<\/p>\n
present case were challenged and present plaintiff Gurmukh Singh was<\/p>\n
impleaded as defendant No.4 and the said suit was dismissed as<\/p>\n
withdrawn by the court of Shri Jaspal Verma, the then Civil Judge (Junior<\/p>\n
Division), Hoshiarpur, on 22.4.1998; that the plaintiffs had no locus-standi<\/p>\n
to file the present suit. On merits, it was claimed that though the property<\/p>\n
in dispute was earlier owned by Kartar Singh and Daulat Singh but Joga<\/p>\n
Singh, another brother of Daulat Singh also inherited property from his<\/p>\n
father.   It was averred that     Parkash Kaur was being looked-after by<\/p>\n
contesting defendants and her treatment was got done by the answering<\/p>\n
defendants, and the plaintiffs never cared for the welfare of Parkash Kaur.<\/p>\n
It was averred that Parkash Kaur during her life time executed legal and<\/p>\n
valid Will dated 29.3.1995 in favour of the defendants, on the basis of<\/p>\n
which they inherited the property of Parkash Kaur. It was averred that<\/p>\n
Parkash Kaur executed three sale deeds          for valuable consideration in<\/p>\n
favour of defendants No. 1 to 3 who had become owners of the land<\/p>\n
purchased under the sale deeds and entered in possession of the land.<\/p>\n
The defendants denying the rest of the averments of the plaint, prayed for<\/p>\n
dismissal of the suit.\n<\/p>\n
                On the basis of the pleadings of the parties, the trial Court
\n RSA No.2486 of 2004                               4<\/span><\/p>\n
framed the following issues:\n<\/p>\n
               1. Whether the plaintiffs along with defendants No. 6 to 28<\/p>\n
                 are joint owners in possession of the suit land?OPP<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
               2. Whether      impugned   sale   deeds   dated   15.03.1995,<\/p>\n
                 21.03.1995 and 10.05.1995 alleged to have been<\/p>\n
                 executed by Parkash Kaur in favour of defendant Nos.1<\/p>\n
                 to 3 respectively; as also whether alleged Will dated<\/p>\n
                 29.03.1995 are the result of fraud and forgery committed<\/p>\n
                 by defendants No. 1 to 5 and hence, null and void qua<\/p>\n
                 the rights of plaintiff and defendant nos. 6 to 28, in the<\/p>\n
                 present suit?OPP<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
               3. Whether the plaintiffs are entitled to grant of permanent<\/p>\n
                 injunction as prayed for? Or in the alternative for joint<\/p>\n
                 possession of the suit land as prayed for? OPP<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
               4. Whether the suit of the plaintiff is barred under Order 2<\/p>\n
                 Rule 2(3) CPC? OPD<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
               5. Whether the present suit is barred under Order 23, Rule<\/p>\n
                 1(4) CPC?OPD<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
               6. Whether the plaintiffs have got no locus-standi to file the<\/p>\n
                 present suit?OPD<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
               7. Whether the suit is bad for not complying with the<\/p>\n
                  provisions of Order 7 Rule 1(J) CPC? OPD<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
               8. Relief.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
              After hearing the learned counsel for the parties, the trial<\/p>\n
Court returned the findings holding that the Will dated 29.03.1995 Ex.D1<\/p>\n
and the sale deeds     dated 10.05.95, 29.03.1995 and 15.03.1995 were<\/p>\n
validly executed by Parkash Kaur and issues no. 1 to 3 were accordingly<\/p>\n
decided against the plaintiffs and in favour of contesting       defendants.<\/p>\n
Issues No. 4,5,6 and 7 however were decided against the defendants and
\n RSA No.2486 of 2004                                 5<\/span><\/p>\n
suit of the plaintiffs was accordingly ordered to be dismissed with no orders<\/p>\n
as to costs.\n<\/p>\n
               Feeling aggrieved from the same, the plaintiffs filed an<\/p>\n
appeal which was also dismissed by the Additional District Judge,<\/p>\n
Hoshiarpur vide impugned judgment and decree dated 10.03.2004.<\/p>\n
               Still not satisfied, the plaintiffs have filed the instant appeal<\/p>\n
challenging the judgment and decrees of the Courts below by raising the<\/p>\n
following the substantial questions of law:\n<\/p>\n
               1. Whether the courts below can misread and mis-interpret<\/p>\n
                  the evidence before coming to the conclusion that the<\/p>\n
                  Sale Deeds in which not a single penny was paid at the<\/p>\n
                  time of registration of the sale deed was a legal<\/p>\n
                  document?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
               2. Whether the executant who was suffering from cancer<\/p>\n
                  and was mentally incapacitate can execute a WILL in his<\/p>\n
                  unsound and indisposing mind?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
               In support of his case, learned counsel for the appellants<\/p>\n
has vehemently argued that the Will as well as registered sale deeds are<\/p>\n
surrounded by suspicious circumstances which have been proved on the<\/p>\n
file. The deceased Testator was not in need of any money and the land in<\/p>\n
question had been sold without any legal necessity. Moreover, neither a<\/p>\n
single penny was paid before the Sub-Registrar at the time of registration<\/p>\n
of the sale deeds nor any amount was deposited in the account of Parkash<\/p>\n
Kaur, deceased. There was no occasion for the deceased Parkash Kaur to<\/p>\n
spend such a huge sum. Learned counsel has further argued that Roshan<\/p>\n
Singh, attorney of Parkash Kaur has no authority to sell the land and thus<\/p>\n
the reasons recorded by the Courts below non-suiting the plaintiffs are<\/p>\n
totally perverse. The counsel further contended that sale deeds were got<\/p>\n
executed by playing fraud with Parkash Kaur and the judgment and
\n RSA No.2486 of 2004                                 6<\/span><\/p>\n
decrees of the Courts below are liable to be set aside and the<\/p>\n
plaintiffs\/appellants are entitled to decree as prayed.<\/p>\n
               On the other hand, learned counsel for the respondents has<\/p>\n
supported the findings of the Courts below and has argued that both the<\/p>\n
Courts below on appreciation of evidence have recorded a concurrent<\/p>\n
finding of fact and no question of law arises in this appeal and the same is<\/p>\n
liable to be dismissed.\n<\/p>\n
               I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused<\/p>\n
the record. The plea of the appellants that at the time of execution of the<\/p>\n
Will and the sale deeds, Parkash Kaur was not well, is not supported by<\/p>\n
any    evidence    except     bald   statement     of     the   plaintiffs.   The<\/p>\n
plaintiffs\/respondents have not placed on record any other evidence. On<\/p>\n
the other hand,    DW2      Madho Singh and DW3           Manohar have stated<\/p>\n
positively that at the time of execution of the Will, Parkash Kaur was in<\/p>\n
sound disposing mind, though, according to the plaintiffs they had been<\/p>\n
giving treatment to Parkash Kaur, yet no medical record was placed on<\/p>\n
judicial file. It was also admitted by plaintiff Sarup Singh that Parkash Kaur<\/p>\n
was not being treated for any type of mental illness and she was only<\/p>\n
having fever which by any stretch of imagination cannot be said to have<\/p>\n
affected the mental capacity of a person. Another aspect of the case is that<\/p>\n
Parkash Kaur, after execution of the Will, appeared before the Sub-<\/p>\n
Registrar to admit the execution of the Will at the time of registration of the<\/p>\n
sale deeds which belie the case of the plaintiffs regarding Parkash Kaur<\/p>\n
being of a fickle mind at the time of execution of the Will.    In view of the<\/p>\n
above, no fault can be found in the execution of the Will in favour of the<\/p>\n
defendants.    The second contention of the learned counsel for the<\/p>\n
appellants that the contesting defendants got executed their sale deeds<\/p>\n
Ex.D-2, Ex.D-4 and Ex.D-5 and the power of attorney Ex.D-3 from Parkash<\/p>\n
Kaur by playing fraud and concealment is also without any basis. The
\n RSA No.2486 of 2004                              7<\/span><\/p>\n
plaintiffs\/appellants did not allege the circumstances under which the fraud<\/p>\n
and misrepresentation was played upon Parkash Kaur in getting executed<\/p>\n
these three sale deeds in question nor any such evidence had been<\/p>\n
adduced.\n<\/p>\n
              No plea was taken by the plaintiff-appellants that the sale<\/p>\n
deeds were without consideration. The execution of the sale deeds is not<\/p>\n
denied by the plaintiff appellants. Otherwise also the due execution of the<\/p>\n
three sale deeds had been proved on behalf of the defendants by<\/p>\n
examining DW2 Madho Singh and DW3 Manohar, attesting witnesses and<\/p>\n
from the testimony of DW-3 Kulwinder Singh defendant. The plaintiff-<\/p>\n
appellants being strangers to the sale deeds could not even otherwise<\/p>\n
challenge the sale deeds claiming the same to be without consideration. I<\/p>\n
am supported in my view by a judgment of this Court in the case of State<\/p>\n
of Punjab Vs. Gurmel Singh 2003(2) Civil Court Cases-115(P & H).<\/p>\n
              For the reasons recorded above, I find no merit in this<\/p>\n
appeal.\n<\/p>\n
              No substantial question of law arises.\n<\/p>\n
              Dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
                                       (RAKESH KUMAR GARG)
