any point of time and he never received any advance amount as alleged by
the plaintiff on 27-03-2014. This defendant has got no knowledge about the
terms and conditions of the sale agreement dated: 27-04-2013. The plaintiff
created the said agreement of sale dated: 27-04-2013 for wrongful gain and
to make claim against the properties of the defendant. The plaintiff has no
capacity to give such huge amount of Rs. 3 lakhs to the defendant. The
plaintiff's husband namely Grandhi Nageswararao filed insolvency petition
in Senior Civil Judge Court, Rajam. The said petition is pending before the
Hon'ble Court. The plaintiff and his men who acted as attestors on the
alleged agreement of sale with the assistance of scribe have to forged the
alleged agreement of sale dated : 27-04-2013 for wrongful gain. The
defendant doing business in Rajam, he got enemies in Rajam due to
assistance of enemies of the defendant, the plaintiff filed this suit against
the defendant to grab the plaint schedule property. On receiving legal
notice from the plaintiff this defendant got issued reply notice with the
suitable reply on 23-11-2013 there is no vendor and vendee relationship
between them. Thereby agreement of sale is at all binding on the defendant
and there is no need to execute any sale deed infavour of the plaintiff over
the schedule property and the boundaries are incorrect, hence prays for
dismissal of the suit.
4. On the basis of above pleadings, the following issues were settled for
trial.
1. Whether the agreement of sale dated : 27-04-2013 is true, valid and supported
by advance amount of consideration of Rs.3,00,000/-and the same is binding on
the defendant?
3. Whether the plaintiff is entitled decree for specific performance of contract for
the suit schedule property ?
4. To what relief ?
5. To prove the case of plaintiff, Pw.1 to Pw.3 were examined and Ex. A.1
to A.5 were marked on her behalf. On behalf of defendant, the
3
defendant himself was examined as DW.1 and Ex.B.1 and Ex. B.2
were marked on his behalf.
been executed by such person. Duty is also cast upon person trying to seek
benefit out of such document to establish that it was not merely a physical
act but also mental act on the part of expectants to enter into transaction
with regard to the property which stood in her name. In nutshell, the
burden is upon plaintiff to prove that the document Ex. A1 alleged to have
been executed by defendant was voluntary act performed freely after
understanding its consequences. Merely because signature is appended on
document, it cannot be concluded that the executants had knowledge about
its contents unless it is established by surrounding facts and circumstances
and by the other evidence either direct or circumstantial".
9. On considering above decision let us see how far plaintiff able to prove
execution of Ex A1 by defendant and passing of consideration, delivery of
possession and the presence of the defendant on the date of transaction. It
is the case of the plaintiff as per the averments and as well as evidence of
him that the suit schedule property is absolute property of the defendant
which was purchased through registered sale deed on 11-05-2012 and he
alienated suit schedule property to this plainaff through agreement of sale
on 27-04-2013 after receipt of Rs. 3 lakhs as advance amount agreeing to
receive remaining balance of Rs. 50,000/-at the time of registration.
10. To prove the same, the plaintiff himself examined as Pw.1 and
deposed before the Court that Ex. A.1 transaction was taken place at his
house in the presence of Pw. 2 who is attestor and Pw. 3 who is scribe and
this defendant has received advance amount of Rs. 3 lakhs from him on
demand and execution of agreement of sale agreeing to receive balance sale
consideration at the time of registration and he is ready and willing to
execute registered sale deed as and when this plaintiff paid Rs,. 50, 000/-to
him. To prove his contention, the plaintiff also examined Pw. 2 who is
attestor of the document who deposed that he was present at the time of
execution of Ex. A. 1 by the defendant, in their presence only the defendant
received advance amount of Rs. 3 lakhs from the plaintiff and executed Ex.
A. 1 in his favour. Plaintiff also examined Pw. 3 who is scribe of the
document who deposed that he went to the house of the plaintiff at his
5
request and scribed Ex. A.1 agreement of sale basing on the link document
purchased by the defendant in his presence only the defendant has received
advance amount of Rs. 3 lakhs agreeing to execute registered sale deed as
and when this plaintiff paid Rs. 50, 000/-balance sale consideration either
in the name of the plaintiff or in other person directed by the plaintiff.
11. On contra to the evidence of Pw's 1 to 3 it is the case of the defendant
he never executed any agreement of sale in favour of the plaintiff. It is
fabricated document created by the plaintiff with his henchmen attestor
and scribe. To prove the same, the defendant himself examined as Dw. 1 he
deposed before the court that he never executed any agreement of sale
infavour of the plaintiff and he purchased suit schedule property through
Ex. A. 2 and his document was mortgaged to the 3rd parties. Husband of
the plaintiff filed insolvency petition before the Hon'ble Court and this
plaintiff is having no capacity to give such huge amount of Rs. 3 lakhs to the
defendant with the assistance of the enemies of this defendant who is doing
business in Rajam plaintiff has crated Ex. A. 1 and filed false case against
him.
12. It is undisputed fact that defendant is absolute owner of the suit
schedule property and there is clear admission made by the defendant that
he purchased suit schedule property through Ex. A. 2 from Sisti
Nagaratnam wife of Lakshmunaidu. Now it is the case of the plaintiff that
this defendant alienated suit schedule property to him and executed
agreement of sale after receipt of advance amount of Rs. 3 Lakhs agreed to
receive balance sale consideration of Rs.50,000/- at the time of
registration. It was already said it is onus on the plaintiff to prove each and
every aspect that involvement in the transaction of the sale in the instance
case the plaintiff himself examined as Pw. 1 and deposed before the court
that this defendant intended to alienate the suit schedule property upon
which this plaintiff agreed and sale consideration was fixed at
Rs.3,50,000/-. Accordingly on 27-04-2013 the defendant has came to his
house and executed Ex. A. 1 in his favour on receipt of the Rs. 3 lakhs as an
advance amount agreeing to receive balance sale consideration at the time
6
forged one, created with the assistance of his enemies with the henchmen
Pw.2 and Pw.3 and another attestor.
20. To prove the same. The defendant has mainly relied on evidence of
Dw.1 and Ex. B.1 and Ex. B.2. As seen evidence of the Dw. 1, he deposed in
his chief examination that he do not know Ex.A.1 transaction at all he do
not have any knowledge about sale agreement, he never made any
signatures on Ex. A.1, he does not received any sale consideration as alleged
by the plaintiff. In chief examination he testified that totally innocent about
the Ex. A.1 transaction but coming to the cross examination Ex. A.1 when
confronted to him, he deposed that the signatures on Ex.A.1 is not belongs
to him but it appears to his signatures. The very evidence of the Dw.1
clinchingly indicating he know that he signed on Ex. A.1 agreement of sale
but he do not want to give any affirmative answer to that effect. Moreover it
is pertinent point to know there is clear admission made by the Dw.1 that
Ex. A.2 is the document through which he purchased suit schedule property
from Sisti Nagaratnam and it is evident from the record Ex.A.2 is the
document of the defendant and Ex.A.3 is link document of defendant which
are in possession of plaintiff. If at all there is no transaction between
plaintiff and defendant and this plaintiff unaware of plaintiff why he
handed over the original of his document to plaintiff is a question of fact.
Having possession of original documents 0f defendant with plaintiff speaks
volumes about the transaction. Absolutely there is no explanation in the
evidence of the defendant about handing over of his original document and
originally link document t0 the plaintiff. But Coming to cross examination
he deposed that his documents were mortgaged with 3rd Parties . If the
documents of the defendant were mortgaged with the 3rd parties how the
documents were went into the hands of the plaintiff were not explained by
the defendant.
21. Moreover absolutely there is no details either in the written
statement or in the evidence of the Dw.1 to whom he mortgaged the
document how much loan he availed from the 3rd parties. When the said
mortgaged transaction was taken place in the absence of the same once
there is clear evidence of the PW's 1 to 3 that this defendant himself
11
executed Ex.A.1 after receiving advance sale consideration amount and his
link documents are in possession of plaintiff clinchingly shows about the
execution of Ex A1 by defendant. Further more it is not the case of
defendant in his written statement that he mortgaged property to third
parties and handed over his documents. Then the evidence of the Dw.1 that
he mortgaged his document with 3rd parties cannot be looked into.
22. Coming to Ex.B.1 and Ex.B.2 those are the copies of the plaint in
vide OS 77/15 filed by this plaintiff against brother of the defendant Desetti
Radhakrishna. On perusal of Ex.B.1 it shows this plaintiff has filed suit for
recovery of money basing on promissory note dated 09—01—2013 and
Ex.B.2 is the promissory note between this plaintiff and brother of
defendant Radhakrishna. As seen evidence of the Pw.1 this defendant posed
suggestion to the Pw.1 that this plaintiff has filed suit against brother of
defendant and attestors, scribe in Ex.B.2 are the attestors and scribe to
Ex.A.1 transaction herein and stamp papers in Ex.A.1 are in the name of
plaintiff. So that this defendant wants to show the transaction in Ex.A.1 is
inter linked with the transaction of his brother under Ex.B.2. It is true on
perusal of evidence of Pw.1 it was elicited by the defendant that this
plaintiff has filed suit against brother of defendant Radhakrishna and She
also admitted both the attestors and scribe in the present case also deposed
in the said money suit. But it does not mean that the transaction between
plaintiff and brother of defendant is in furtherance of the Ex. A.1
transaction. Even as seen Ex.B.2 the said transaction was held on 09-01-
2013. Coming to Ex.A.1 sale transaction between plaintiff and defendant
was held 011 27-04-2013 after 4 months to Ex B2 transaction. Even as Seen
Ex.A.1 there are no recitals with regard to the previous transaction between
plaintiff and Radhakrishna who is brother of the defendant. If really Ex. A.1
transaction is in furtherance of the financial transaction between plaintiff
and Radhakrishna the said Radhakrishna might have signed in Ex. A.1 or
there might be recitals in Ex.A.1 about previous transaction between them.
In the absence of the same we cannot draw any inference that thc Ex.A.1
transaction is in furtherance of the financial transaction between plaintiff
and brother of defendant Radhaknshna. Moreover it is not at all the case of
12
the defendant through written statement at the 1st instance that there was
prior transaction between plaintiff and his brother Radhakrlshna, and Ex.
A.1 is in furtherance of the Ex.B2 transaction. In the absence of the same, in
the subsequent event the defendant is not allowed to adduce any evidence
contrary to the pleadings taken by him, once the defendant taken plea in
the written statement that he do not have any knowledge about execution of
Ex. A.1, in subsequent event he is not allowed to turn around to sav Ex.A.1
transaction is in furtherance of financial transaction between his brother
and plaintiff. Therefore Ex.B.1 and Ex.B.2 no way helpful to the defendant
to show Ex.A.1 transaction in furtherance of the transaction between his
brother and plaintiff. Plaintiff utterly failed to prove that he do not have any
knowledge about execution of Ex.A.1 and which was created by the plaintiff
with the active assistance of his henchmen.
23. lt is the case of the defendant that the husband of the plaintiff has
filed insolvency application thereby this plaintiff is not having no capacity
to pay such huge amount of Rs. 3 lakhs to him there by it is clear Ex. A.1
rank forged one. But as seen evidence of Pw's 1 to 3 they categorically
deposed about passing of consideration to the defendant and presence of
defendant and receipt of the consideration amount from the plaintiff on the
even date of Ex.A.1 on 27-04-2013. Though it is the case of the defendant
that the husband of the plaintiff has filed insolvency petition and
suggestion also posed to Pw.2 attestor but he categorically denied that
husband of the plaintiff has filed insolvency petition and he sustained loss
in the business running by him.
24. To that effect he elicited from the evidence of Pw. 1 that the husband
of the plaintiff has filed an insolvency petition and he sustained loss in the
business run by him. Therefore he started business in pearl and rubies but
absolutely there are no documents available in record to show whether the
husband of the plaintiff was declared as insolvent or not. From the evidence
of Pw.1 itself shows now he is doing business in the pearl and rubv and
getting an amount of Rs. 1000/-to Rs. 2000/- per day. If that is so it cannot
be said that the plaintiff is not having any capacity to pay earnest money to
a tune of Rs. 3 lakhs. Moreover once there is a clear evidence of Pw's 1 to 3
13
this defendant himself has received Rs. 3 lakhs from the plaintiff which was
paid by her under Ex. A. 1 then it cannot be said that the plaintiff has no
capacity to pay amounts, as appearing in Ex. A. 1. though defendant taken a
plea that he do not know plaintiff at all, but the defense taken by him in his
evidence by showing Ex.B.2 that there is a prior transaction between his
brother and plaintiff speaks volumes that he know plaintiff pretty well.
Defendant utterly failed to show he is no way concerned to Ex A.1
transaction and do not know plaintiff at all. On contra the plaintiff has
placed cogent, reliable and convincing evidence stating that this defendant
himself has executed Ex. A. 1 in his favour in the presence of attestors and
scribe and received earnest money and he always ready and willing to
perform his part of contract then certainly plaintiff entitled for specific
performance of contract. Accordingly points are answered.
27. In the result, suit is decreed with costs directing the plaintiff to pay
balance sale consideration of Rs. 50, 000/-(rupees fifty thousand only)
within one month from the date of this judgment into the Court by giving
due notice to the defendant, upon deposing the amounts defendant is
directed to execute registered sale deed in favour of the plaintiff within two
months. Failing which plaintiff is at liberty to get it registered under due
process of law.
