The second defendant promising<\/p>\n<p>to provide a visa to the plaintiff\/respondent which would enable<\/p>\n<p>him to secure an employment abroad collected from him a sum of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.20,000\/-, but, the promise was honoured only in its breach,<\/p>\n<p>was the case of the plaintiff to claim refund of that amount. Both<\/p>\n<p>the defendants filed a joint written statement contending that a<\/p>\n<p>sum of Rs.5,000\/- alone was collected by the second defendant,<\/p>\n<p>admittedly, with a promise to provide a visa to the plaintiff for<\/p>\n<p>getting employment abroad.          The plaintiff, in association with<\/p>\n<p>some others, after keeping the defendants in wrongful restraint,<\/p>\n<p>got from them a document styled as an agreement undertaking to<\/p>\n<p>repay a sum of Rs.20,000\/- as if such sum had been collected<\/p>\n<p>from the plaintiff, was the defense raised.\n<\/p>\n<p>      2. The trial court, on the materials tendered by both sides,<\/p>\n<p>was inclined to accept the contention raised by the defendants<\/p>\n<p>that only a sum of Rs.5,000\/- was collected by the second<\/p>\n<p>defendant from the plaintiff. In that view of the matter, a decree<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">S.A No.632 OF 1999            &#8211; 2 &#8211;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>was granted in favour of the plaintiff only for a sum of Rs.5,000\/-<\/p>\n<p>of the suit claim for Rs.20,000\/-. Plaintiff preferred an appeal to<\/p>\n<p>the extent he was aggrieved by the declining of the sum claimed<\/p>\n<p>under his suit. The first appellate court, after reappreciation of<\/p>\n<p>the materials tendered, differed from the views taken by the trial<\/p>\n<p>court and granted a decree to the plaintiff as canvassed in his<\/p>\n<p>suit.   Impeaching the modification so made under the decree<\/p>\n<p>passed by the first appellate court in allowing the suit claim as<\/p>\n<p>prayed for by the plaintiff, the defendants have preferred this<\/p>\n<p>appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p>      3. I heard the counsel on both sides. The first appellate<\/p>\n<p>court has misappreciated the materials on record to differ from<\/p>\n<p>the conclusion reached by the trial court is the submission of the<\/p>\n<p>learned counsel appearing for the appellants\/defendants. Though<\/p>\n<p>the plaintiff has produced Ext.A4, a certificate from a bank to<\/p>\n<p>show that he had collected two Demand Drafts for sums of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.8,000\/- and Rs.7,000\/- respectively, no documentary evidence<\/p>\n<p>was tendered in the case to show that such drafts had been<\/p>\n<p>handed over to the second defendant, as alleged to sustain the<\/p>\n<p>suit claim, is the further submission of the learned counsel for the<\/p>\n<p>appellants. When there was no convincing evidence proving the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">S.A No.632 OF 1999           &#8211; 3 &#8211;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>case of the plaintiff that there was a further payment of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.15,000\/- either by way of drafts or otherwise to the second<\/p>\n<p>defendant, and that too, where both the courts, on the materials<\/p>\n<p>placed, found some merit in the defence set up by the defendants<\/p>\n<p>that the creation of Ext.A1 agreement was under such<\/p>\n<p>circumstances which would indicate that the defendants were<\/p>\n<p>under some sort of confinement when such a document was<\/p>\n<p>obtained from them, the first appellate court was not at all<\/p>\n<p>justified in interfering and modifying the decree passed by the<\/p>\n<p>trial judge, who alone had the opportunity to watch the<\/p>\n<p>demeanour and deportment of the witnesses, is the submission of<\/p>\n<p>the counsel for the appellants.    The decree of the trial court<\/p>\n<p>granting the plaintiff the sum of Rs.5,000\/-, the liability of which<\/p>\n<p>alone was admitted by the defendants, alone is allowable on the<\/p>\n<p>facts and circumstances presented and materials produced, and,<\/p>\n<p>so much so, the decree rendered by the first appellate court<\/p>\n<p>awarding the suit claim as such, according to the counsel, is liable<\/p>\n<p>to be set aside. Per contra, the learned counsel appearing for the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiff inviting my attention to the materials tendered, more<\/p>\n<p>particularly Exts.A4, A5 and X1, contended that the suit claim<\/p>\n<p>canvassed by the plaintiffs has been proved by convincing<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">S.A No.632 OF 1999           &#8211; 4 &#8211;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>evidence. No error of law, leave alone any substantial question of<\/p>\n<p>law, has been raised in the appeal to impeach the finding arrived<\/p>\n<p>by the first appellate court, which is the final authority on<\/p>\n<p>disputed question of facts involved, is the further submission of<\/p>\n<p>the counsel to contend that no interference with the decree of<\/p>\n<p>that court is called for.\n<\/p>\n<p>      4. Having regard to the submissions made by the counsel<\/p>\n<p>on both sides with reference to the judgments rendered by the<\/p>\n<p>courts below, the only question that require to be looked into is<\/p>\n<p>whether the decreeing of the suit, in its entirety, by the lower<\/p>\n<p>appellate court modifying the decree of the trial court limiting it to<\/p>\n<p>a sum of Rs.5,000\/- only after reappreciating the materials on<\/p>\n<p>record, suffers from any legal infirmity warranting interference by<\/p>\n<p>this court. In analysing that question, the admitted back drop of<\/p>\n<p>the case that the transaction giving raise to the suit claim was on<\/p>\n<p>the basis of a promise extended by the second defendant to<\/p>\n<p>provide an employment visa on payment of sum cannot be<\/p>\n<p>ignored at all.    The defendants have admitted that a sum of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.5,000\/- was collected from the plaintiff by the second<\/p>\n<p>defendant on such promise. A further sum of Rs.15,000\/- was<\/p>\n<p>later collected and it was paid by bank drafts to the 2nd defendant<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">S.A No.632 OF 1999            &#8211; 5 &#8211;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>is the case of the plaintiff, which, however, was denied by the<\/p>\n<p>defendants. Ext.A1 agreement was produced by the plaintiff to<\/p>\n<p>prove that there was such collection by the second defendant and<\/p>\n<p>also undertaking of both the defendants to repay such sum.<\/p>\n<p>Creation of that document was impeached by defendants<\/p>\n<p>contending that it was obtained by keeping them under wrongful<\/p>\n<p>restraint. Both the courts, it is seen, were inclined to hold that the<\/p>\n<p>contention so canvassed by the defendants cannot be brushed<\/p>\n<p>aside as totally meritless. However, no definite finding is entered<\/p>\n<p>by the lower appellate court as to whether Ext.A1 agreement<\/p>\n<p>cannot be acted upon as having been the product arising from<\/p>\n<p>illegal and vitiated circumstances. Irrespective of the validity of<\/p>\n<p>Ext.A1, whether it was obtained from the defendants under a<\/p>\n<p>vitiating circumstance or not, on the materials placed, it is seen<\/p>\n<p>that the case canvassed by the plaintiff that a sum of Rs.20,000\/-<\/p>\n<p>had been collected from him on the promise to provide him an<\/p>\n<p>employment visa by the second defendant is more probable and<\/p>\n<p>acceptable. Plaintiff promised with such an employment visa, it<\/p>\n<p>has come out , went to Bombay, stayed there for quite sometime<\/p>\n<p>and, later, returned when the promise was honoured only in its<\/p>\n<p>breach by the second defendant. It is ridiculous to imagine that<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">S.A No.632 OF 1999             &#8211; 6 &#8211;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>the second defendant promised to provide an employment visa to<\/p>\n<p>the plaintiff on getting a paltry sum of Rs.5,000\/-. The case of the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiff as deposed by him that when he went over to Bombay,<\/p>\n<p>the demand drafts for Rs.15,000\/- handed over to the second<\/p>\n<p>defendant had been found trust worthy deserving acceptance, by<\/p>\n<p>the lower appellate court.      The letter sent by first defendant,<\/p>\n<p>(Ext.X1) to PW3, wherein the liability for such sum collected is<\/p>\n<p>admitted corroborates the case of the plaintiff. Though the first<\/p>\n<p>defendant had disputed the letter Ext.X1, in the light of the<\/p>\n<p>evidence of PW3, to whom it was sent and also that of the plaintiff<\/p>\n<p>as well, its genuineness need not be doubted. In Ext.A5 letter<\/p>\n<p>sent by the second defendant to the plaintiff, the liability towards<\/p>\n<p>the sum collected for providing the visa is specifically adverted<\/p>\n<p>though the sum was not mentioned. A reading of Ext.A5 would<\/p>\n<p>indicate that the second defendant at the point of time when he<\/p>\n<p>sent the letter was carrying on a business or activity of sending<\/p>\n<p>people abroad providing them employment visas. The expenses<\/p>\n<p>incurred by him in connection with the hospital treatments, flight<\/p>\n<p>expenses etc. of the persons who approached him for visa, stated<\/p>\n<p>in his letter (Ext.A50 is a tell tale circumstance indicating that he<\/p>\n<p>was not doing such activity as charity, but, only after collecting<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">S.A No.632 OF 1999             &#8211; 7 &#8211;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>substantial sum from such persons who desired to go abroad<\/p>\n<p>getting employment visa from him. The case of the defendants<\/p>\n<p>that the second defendant had collected only a sum of Rs.5,000\/-<\/p>\n<p>from the plaintiff, in the light of the materials produced by the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiff, especially Exts.A4, A5 and X1, is found to be unworthy of<\/p>\n<p>any merit. The lower appellate court has rightly and correctly<\/p>\n<p>come to the conclusion, after reappreciating the evidence, that a<\/p>\n<p>sum of Rs.20,000\/-, as alleged by the plaintiff, had been collected<\/p>\n<p>by the second defendant, and entire sum thereof is liable to be<\/p>\n<p>refunded. There is no error or infirmity in the finding so arrived<\/p>\n<p>by that court for granting the decree for such sum in modification<\/p>\n<p>of the decree passed by the trial court. The appeal is devoid of<\/p>\n<p>any merit, and, it is dismissed with costs of the respondent.<\/p>\n<p>                                                Sd\/-<\/p>\n<pre>\n\n                                    S.S.SATHEESACHANDRAN\n                                              JUDGE\n\n                  \/\/True Copy\/\/\n\nvdv                                         P.A to Judge\n\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Vasu Sreedharan vs Madhavan Ravi on 14 September, 2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM SA.No. 632 of 1999(A) 1.
