                Plaintiffs in O.S.299\/93 on the file of  Sub<\/p>\n
court,   Ernakulam   are   appellants.   Defendant   is   the<\/p>\n
respondent.     Suit   was   filed   for   a   declaration   that<\/p>\n
Ext.A2   sale   deed   is   not   binding   on   plaintiffs   and   to<\/p>\n
set   aside   the   same   and   for   recovery   of   possession   of<\/p>\n
plaint   schedule   property.   Case   of   appellants   was   that<\/p>\n
Gopalakrishnan,   husband of first appellant and father<\/p>\n
of   appellants   2   and   3   are   the   son   of   Devaki   Amma   and<\/p>\n
plaint   schedule   property   was   set   apart   to   the<\/p>\n
Thavazhy   of   Devaki   Amma   and   her   daughter   deceased<\/p>\n
Saraswathi   as   per   partition   deed   No.3312\/1119   of<\/p>\n
S.R.O,         Edappally          and         Gopalakrishnan           was         born<\/p>\n
thereafter     and    he  derived  a  right  over  the  thavazhy<\/p>\n
property   by   his   birth   and   while   so,   Saraswathi   died<\/p>\n
as   a   child   and   her   right   also   devolved   on<\/p>\n
Gopalakrishnan.   Devaki   Amma                    sold   a   portion                of<\/p>\n
property   along   with   Gopalakrishnan   during   1983   under<\/p>\n
Ext.A1   sale   deed.   Gopalakrishnan   died   on   5\/12\/1991.\n<\/p>\n
                                     2<\/span><\/p>\n
After   the   death   of   Gopalakrishnan,     Devaki   Amma     was<\/p>\n
mentally weak   and was not mentally free to take her own<\/p>\n
decisions. It was alleged that respondent exerting  undue<\/p>\n
influence   on   her   and   prevailed   over   Devaki   Amma   to<\/p>\n
execute   Ext.A2   sale   deed   and     property   was   sold,   as   if<\/p>\n
the   property   belongs   absolutely   to   Devaki   Amma.   It   was<\/p>\n
contended   that   being   legal   heirs   of   Gopalakrishnan<\/p>\n
appellants   have   also   right   over   the   property   and   Ext.A2<\/p>\n
sale deed is vitiated. It was contend that as legal heirs<\/p>\n
of   deceased   Gopalakrishnan,   appellants   have   3\/8th  shares<\/p>\n
in   the   property   and   Devaki   Amma   had   5\/8th  shares   and<\/p>\n
appellants   are   entitled   to   get   a   decree   for   declaration<\/p>\n
that Ext.A2 sale deed is not valid and  binding on plaint<\/p>\n
schedule property and also to set aside   Ext.A2 which is<\/p>\n
void   due   to   undue   influence   and   appellants   are   entitled<\/p>\n
to get decree for recovery  of possession also.\n<\/p>\n
      2.      Respondent   filed   written   statement   contending<\/p>\n
that   plaint   schedule   property   having   an   extent   of   27<\/p>\n
cents   was   obtained   by   Devaki   Amma   and   her   daughter<\/p>\n
Saraswathi   as   per   partition     of   1119   and   Gopalakrishnan<\/p>\n
was   born   several   years   thereafter   and   he   has   no   right<\/p>\n
over   the   property   and   in   1992   Devaki   Amma   sold   the<\/p>\n
property   to   respondent   for   valid   consideration   and<\/p>\n
before   the   sale   Gopalakrishnan   had   died   and   Devaki   Amma<\/p>\n
                                      3<\/span><\/p>\n
has   no   mental     incapacity   as   alleged     and   Ext.A2     is   a<\/p>\n
valid   document   and   appellants   are   not   entitled   to   the<\/p>\n
decree sought for.\n<\/p>\n
      3.    Learned Munsiff framed necessary issues. On the<\/p>\n
side   of   appellants   first   appellant   was   examined   as   PW1<\/p>\n
and   a   relative   was   examined   as   PW2.     On   the   side   of<\/p>\n
respondent   he   was   examined   as   DW1.   Exts.A1   and   A2   were<\/p>\n
marked. Learned Munsiff on appreciation of evidence found<\/p>\n
that by birth Gopalakrishnan  had a right over the plaint<\/p>\n
property   as   the   property   was   allotted     under   partition<\/p>\n
deed in 1119 M.E   to the   Thavazhy   consisting of Devaki<\/p>\n
Amma and her children and on the death of Saraswathi her<\/p>\n
right   also   devolved     on   Devaki   Amma     and   Gopalakrishnan<\/p>\n
and   on   the   death   of   Gopalakrishnan     his   rights   devolved<\/p>\n
on   appellants,   his   wife   and   children   and   therefore<\/p>\n
appellants   have   3\/8   share   in   the   plaint   schedule<\/p>\n
property.     Learned   Munsiff     also   found   that     appellants<\/p>\n
did   not   succeed   in   establishing   that   Ext.A2   is   vitiated<\/p>\n
either   by   fraud,     misrepresentation   or   undue   influence<\/p>\n
Ext.A2 is valid   as against share of Devaki Amma. Though<\/p>\n
decree   for   recovery   of   possession   was   sought   learned<\/p>\n
Munsiff  in   the   interest   of   justice   granted   a   preliminary<\/p>\n
decree     for   partition   of   the   3\/8   shares   of   appellants<\/p>\n
over   plaint   schedule     property.   Appellants     challenged<\/p>\n
                                            4<\/span><\/p>\n
the   decree   and   judgment   before   District   court,   Ernakulam<\/p>\n
in A.S.9\/1995.  Learned Additional  District Judge on re-\n<\/p>\n
appreciation   of     evidence   confirmed   the   decree     and<\/p>\n
judgment     passed   by   learned   Munsiff   and   dismissed   the<\/p>\n
appeal. It is challenged in this appeal.\n<\/p>\n
      4.    Appellants contended that first appellate court<\/p>\n
did   not   consider   the   grounds   urged   for   challenging   the<\/p>\n
judgment   and   on   the   evidence   it   should   have   been   found<\/p>\n
that   no   consideration   was   paid   for   Ext.A2   and   executant<\/p>\n
Devaki   Amma   was     not   having     sound   mental   capacity   to<\/p>\n
execute   the   sale   deed   and   hence   should   have   set   aside<\/p>\n
Ext.A2   and   held   that   respondent   has   no   right     over   the<\/p>\n
property   and   appellants   are   entitled   to   recover   the<\/p>\n
possession of property on the strength of their title.\n<\/p>\n
      5.    Learned         counsel         appearing         for         appellants<\/p>\n
vehemently argued that there is no evidence to prove that<\/p>\n
consideration shown in Ext.A1 was paid   by respondent to<\/p>\n
Devaki Amma  and evidence also establish that Devaki Amma<\/p>\n
was   not   mentally   sound     to   execute   Ext.A2   sale   deed   at<\/p>\n
that   time   as   after   the   death   of   Gopalakrishnan   she   was<\/p>\n
mentally  weak and respondent by exerting undue influence<\/p>\n
got   executed   the   sale   deed   and   therefore   decree   and<\/p>\n
judgment are unsustainable.\n<\/p>\n
      6.    On   hearing   learned   counsel   appearing   for<\/p>\n
                                               5<\/span><\/p>\n
appellants  and on going through the  judgment and decree<\/p>\n
of   courts   below,              I   do   not   find            any   substantial<\/p>\n
questions of law involved in the appeal.  Plaint schedule<\/p>\n
property   admittedly   originally   belonged   to   the   Tharavadu<\/p>\n
of   Devaki   Amma.   It   was   allotted   to   the     Thavazhy       of<\/p>\n
Devaki Amma  and  her daughter Saraswathi  who was  alive  at<\/p>\n
that   time.   Gopalakrishnan,     husband   of   first   appellant<\/p>\n
and   father   of   other   appellants   was                                 born   only<\/p>\n
subsequently.   As   property   was   allotted   to   the   Thavazhy,<\/p>\n
by birth Gopalakrishnan has got  right over the property.\n<\/p>\n
Though   under   Ext.A2   sale   deed   Devaki   Amma   sold   property<\/p>\n
as if it belongs  exclusively to her, learned Munsiff and<\/p>\n
learned Sub  Judge  rightly found that  that sale  deed  will<\/p>\n
not   affects   the   rights   of   Gopalakrishnan     or   the   legal<\/p>\n
heirs  of   Gopalakrishnan   and   therefore   upheld   the   case   of<\/p>\n
appellants         that         being         legal         heirs         of         deceased<\/p>\n
Gopalakrishnan          they   have   3\/8   shares                          over   plaint<\/p>\n
schedule   property.   Courts   below   held   that   Ext.A2     will<\/p>\n
not   effect   the   3\/8   shares   of   appellants   and   appellants<\/p>\n
are entitled to their share.\n<\/p>\n
      7.    Though   it   was   vehemently   argued   that   after   the<\/p>\n
death   of   Gopalakrishnan,   Devaki   Amma   was   mentally   weak<\/p>\n
and   was   not   free   to                take   her   on   decisions   and<\/p>\n
respondent succeeded in getting executed Ext.A2 sale deed<\/p>\n
                                     6<\/span><\/p>\n
by   undue   influence,   on   appreciating   the   evidence   courts<\/p>\n
below  found   that   evidence   is   insufficient   to   prove   undue<\/p>\n
influence   or   fraud   or   mis-representation.   That   is   a<\/p>\n
question of fact. Exercising  powers under Section 100 of<\/p>\n
Code of Civil Procedure, it cannot be interfered. Nothing<\/p>\n
was   pointed   out     to   interfere   with   that   finding,   except<\/p>\n
the   argument   that   Devaki   Amma   was   mentally   weak   and<\/p>\n
consideration   was       not      paid.   Documents   show          that<\/p>\n
consideration was paid. No other evidence was adduced. In<\/p>\n
such   circumstances,     I   find   no   reason   to   interfere   with<\/p>\n
concurrent findings of courts below.\n<\/p>\n
       Appeal is dismissed.\n<\/p>\n
