No. 3733 of 2008                                                  [2]<\/p>\n<p>             Briefly stated the facts relevant for adjudication of this revision<\/p>\n<p>petition are that the plaintiff- respondent No.1 has filed a suit for specific<\/p>\n<p>performance of an agreement of sale dated 24\/25th            September 2004,<\/p>\n<p>alleging that the defendant- petitioner had agreed to sell the land in dispute<\/p>\n<p>measuring 6 kanals 15 marlas to the plaintiff- respondent No.1 for sale<\/p>\n<p>consideration at the rate of Rs.15 lacs per acre. The defendant- petitioner is<\/p>\n<p>alleged to have received a sum of Rs.1 lac as earnest money from the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiff- respondent No.1. The last date of execution of the sale deed was<\/p>\n<p>allegedly fixed for December 31, 2004. On October 4, 2004, the defendant-<\/p>\n<p>petitioner had allegedly received an amount of Rs.1.90 lacs from respondent<\/p>\n<p>No.1- plaintiff through Amrik Singh. The land in dispute was sold prior to<\/p>\n<p>December 31, 2004 to respondent No.2 Narata Singh by virtue of sale deed<\/p>\n<p>dated October 10, 2004, despite the agreement of sale dated 24\/25th<\/p>\n<p>September 2004 being in existence. The defendant- petitioner has admitted<\/p>\n<p>the agreement of sale and also admitted the receipt of a sum of Rs.1 lac but<\/p>\n<p>in the written statement, it has been pleaded by her that respondent No.1 in<\/p>\n<p>order to cheat the petitioner to the tune of Rs.1.90 lacs, got a second receipt<\/p>\n<p>forged on October 4, 2004 showing that Amrik Singh had taken an amount<\/p>\n<p>of Rs.1.90 lacs from the plaintiff on behalf of the petitioner whereas the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner never authorized Amrik Singh to receive the payment nor she had<\/p>\n<p>made cordial relation with Amrik Singh. The trial Court has allowed the<\/p>\n<p>application under Order 1 Rule 10 CPC on the ground that he had received a<\/p>\n<p>sum of Rs.1.90 lacs from the plaintiff on October 4, 2004 at the instance of<\/p>\n<p>petitioner as such he is a necessary party for adjudication of the case.\n<\/p>\n<p> C.R. No. 3733 of 2008                                                 [3]<\/p>\n<p>             Counsel for the petitioner has vehemently contended that<\/p>\n<p>Amrik Singh is not a proper or necessary party. He has placed reliance on<\/p>\n<p>Bharat Karsondas Thakkar Vs. M\/s Kiran Construction Co. &amp; Ors.,<\/p>\n<p>2008 (3) RCR (Civil) 57 to contend that in a suit for specific performance of<\/p>\n<p>contract a third party or a stranger to the contract could not be added so as<\/p>\n<p>to convert a suit of one character into a suit of a different character. It was<\/p>\n<p>observed in the said judgment that scope of suit for specific performance<\/p>\n<p>could not be enlarged to convert the same into a suit for title and possession.<\/p>\n<p>             I have considered the facts and circumstances of the said case.<\/p>\n<p>In the said case, it was observed that a person who was not a party to the<\/p>\n<p>contract but wanted to be impleaded as a defendant on the ground that he<\/p>\n<p>had acquired a subsequent interest as co-owner by virtue of a decree<\/p>\n<p>obtained from the Court, was held to be not entitled to be joined as<\/p>\n<p>defendant. Similarly he relied on Krishan Lal and others Vs. Tek Chand<\/p>\n<p>and others, AIR 1987 P&amp;H 197, wherein it has been observed that in a suit<\/p>\n<p>for specific performance of a contract of sale, a person not a party to the<\/p>\n<p>agreement of sale and claiming to be joint owner of the subject matter of the<\/p>\n<p>suit is not entitled to be impleaded as a defendant. He is neither a necessary<\/p>\n<p>nor a proper party. He also placed reliance on Ram Pat Vs. Maha Singh,<\/p>\n<p>1998 (3) RCR (Civil) 187 to argue that in a suit for specific performance of<\/p>\n<p>an agreement of sale, a person who is not a party to the agreement is not<\/p>\n<p>entitled to be impleaded as a party.\n<\/p>\n<p>             The ratio of the said judgments is not applicable to the facts of<\/p>\n<p>the present case. A part of the earnest money is alleged to have been<br \/>\n C.R. No. 3733 of 2008                                                 [4]<\/p>\n<p>received by Amrik Singh. The said fact has not been admitted by the<\/p>\n<p>defendant. A sum of Rs.1.90 lacs is alleged to have been made as part<\/p>\n<p>payment of sale consideration to the defendant through Amrik Singh who<\/p>\n<p>has not been made a party. There is admittedly a receipt by virtue of which<\/p>\n<p>receipt the disputed amount has not been denied by the defendant. The<\/p>\n<p>defendant claims that Amrik Singh had not been authorized by him to<\/p>\n<p>receive the money. In case the suit of the plaintiff is decreed than the<\/p>\n<p>earnest money including the one handed over to Amrik Singh on behalf of<\/p>\n<p>the defendant will have to be accounted for in case established. In case the<\/p>\n<p>suit is to be dismissed on merits, then whether the plaintiff is entitled to<\/p>\n<p>receive back the earnest money paid to the defendant or to Amrik Singh,<\/p>\n<p>will have to be dealt with for the just adjudication of the civil rights of the<\/p>\n<p>parties. Amrik Singh may not be a necessary party but at the same time, he<\/p>\n<p>appears to be a proper party. The scope of &#8220;necessary party&#8221; is that a party<\/p>\n<p>without whose presence no effective or complete adjudication of the dispute<\/p>\n<p>can be made. Amrik Singh aforesaid has, rightly been impleaded as a party<\/p>\n<p>to the litigation, by exercising the discretion in the interest of justice. The<\/p>\n<p>impugned order does not warrant any interference.\n<\/p>\n<p>             Dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<pre>December 11, 2009                                   (M.M.S.BEDI)\n sanjay                                               JUDGE\n <\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Punjab-Haryana High Court Smt.Jaswinder Kaur vs Subhash Chand And Others on 11 December, 2009 C.R.
