to the plaintiff and also demand the arrears of rent but the said notice did

the suit property situated at Panchayat area, hence the name of the first
defendant. The said encroachment tax has been paid from 1979 onwards
and the first defendant alone was paying the house tax filed by the plaintiff
has been created fraudulently. The said late Govindaraju Mudaliar is the
close relative and hence has not been executed except sale agreement. In
the same way, the house tax also not been transferred, but the first
defendant has been enjoyed the suit property as an absolute owner. To
suppress the same, the plaintiff has alleged false allegations and has filed
this suit. No charity work has been carried out in the suit property. As
stated that the property situated at Keezhaperumpallm village,
Tharangampadi Taluk has been allotted has been sold out by the said
Govindaraju. Hence no charity work has been done. Specifically no charity
work has been carried out at all in the suit property. first defendant was
appointed as an agent by Govindararju, to look after the charity work and
he permitted him to stay in the suit property and the first defendant has
accepted to pay a monthly rent of Rs.50/- and all the arrangements were
made through oral agreement, hence all the contents stated are false. First
defendant is neither a tenant, nor a power agent and contrarily the first
defendant has been enjoying the suit property as an absolute owner and in
this context they have stated that the plaintiff has taken the possession of
the suit property in his control and was doing the charity work and hence
all the above allegations are false. Also it is not true that the first
defendant was helping in the charity work of the plaintiff. Already he was
helping the plaintiff, but he was not helping him for the past 2 years as
stated is false. The plaintiff has never done the charity work at any point of
time. Before two years of filing the suit they have stated that front portion
of the suit property has been altered into commercial place is not true.
From the year 1979 onwards, one portion of the suit property was being
used as paddy godown and small grain commercial place and to prove that
evidences are there. Business has been done depending upon the
circumstances of period. First defendant has got the right in the suit
8
property, based on that the patta has been issued by the government to
the first defendant. After the suit property right in the name of the first
defendant, he settled his son Kumararaj, the 3 rd defendant herein by way
of a settlement deed dated 17.09.2005 the above said settlement deed has
been written in a stamp paper and the same has been registered. From the
date of the said document, the 3 rd defendant, son of the first defendant
has been enjoying the suit property as an absolute owner and on behalf of
the 3rd defendant, his brother and another son of the first defendant, i.e.
the 4th defendant has been administered the same. In this stage, suit has
been filed in the name of first defendant is not true. Defendant’s right has
been denied regarding the suit property, he filed the suit on the based of
rental agreement is not true. The plaintiff has found a false reason to file a
case stated that, I am a tenant in the premises. Hence the suit value and
the court fee paid in the suit is not correct. First defendant did not aware
of the notice issued by the plaintiff and no notice has been received by the
first defendant. The said notice also invalid as per law. Suit is barred by
limitation. Suit property has never been enjoyed by the plaintiff at any
point of time. First defendant was continuously enjoying the suit property
for more than 30 years. Hence the suit to be dismissed with cost.
Written statement is contrary to the law and not fair. First defendant
has stated in the written statement that the suit property of house, plot
etc. has not been allotted for the charity work is not correct. on 20.01.1976
the plaintiff’s husband Govindaraju Mudaliar has sold the suit property to
the first defendant is not correct. Govindaraju has need of money for his
family expenses and hence he received a sum of Rs.14,000/- by cash from
the first defendant and in response for the same he sold the suit property
to the first defendant is not true and also executed a sale agreement in
favour of the first defendant is not true and no such agreement has been
entered between the first defendant and Govindaraju Mudaliar. Also
Govindaraju Mudaliar had no right to sell the charity share. The said
9
document has been fabricated by the first defendant for the purpose of this
case. The sale agreement dated 20.01.1976 if false and forged one. As a
owner of the suit property, the first defendant was enjoying the suit
property with absolute right and in peaceful possession and the same is
known to the plaintiff and others and also continuously enjoying the suit
property for more than 30 years till date is not correct. As adverse
possession, the first defendant has got the right in the suit property is not
correct. first defendant has bound to prove the same. He has got the
absolute right and hence no initiative steps has been taken by Govindaraju
is also not correct. Patta has been filed by the first defendant is false and a
forged one, based on that the first defendant has no right over the suit
property. Eventhough the first defendant has got the electricity and
telephone connections in his name regarding the suit property he has no
right in the suit property except that the first defendant as a tenant has no
right in the suit property. Encroachment tax has been levied to the door
step of the suit property door step is not correct. The above said
documents are false and forged. First defendant has stated in his written
statement that no charity work has been done in the suit property is not
correct and that the property allotted for charity work has been sold out by
Govindaraju is also not correct. First defendant is the tenant in the suit
property. Govindaraju Mudaliar has appointed the first defendant as his
agent as a brother-in-law to perform the charity work in the suit property
and first defendant is not the owner of the suit property. first defendant
has stated in his written statement that he has obtained the patta in his
name regarding the suit property based on that the first defendant has
executed the settlement deed in favour of his son the 3 rd defendant
Kumararaj and handed over the suit property. from the date of the said 3 rd
defendant is the absolute owner of the suit property and has been enjoying
the same. On behalf of the 3rd defendant, his brother and the first
defendant’s another son, i.e. the 4 th defendant has administering the same
is not true. The above said document is false and forged. The documents
10
were fabricated for this case and hence the suit may be decreed with cost
as prayed by the plaintiff.
Contents of the written statement filed by the first defendant and alo
the contents of the additional written statement are one and the same.
hence that has not been mentioned in detailed.
Plaintiff is the owner of the suit property consisting of tiled house and
backyard. Entire suit property belonged to the plaintiff’s father and was in
11
possession and occupancy for more than 30 years. Patta of the suit
property stands in the name of the plaintiff’s father. With the inducement
of the 2nd defendant, the first defendant is interfering and disturbing him.
Plaintiff’s father was executed a settlement deed dated 17.09.2005 to the
plaintiff based on the love and affection. House tax for the suit property
stands in the name of the plaintiff. For the sake of his work, plaintiff has to
go to several places, he appointed his brother as an agent to maintain the
suit property. plaintiff’s brother, the agent of the plaintiff has been running
the STD booth, small shop and cool drinks shop in the suit property. since
the plaintiff has been enjoying the suit property, first defendant has no
right in the suit property, first defendant is the sister of the plaintiff’s
father. First defendant has no right in the suit property. If the first
defendant is there any right in the suit property, the right has gone
because the plaintiff and his father has been in continuous possession of
the suit property for more than 30 years. But the first defendant with the
help of his men interfered with the possession of the suit property from
24.04.2006 onwards. First defendant has no right to do that. Plaintiff prays
this Hon’ble Court to pass a permanent injunction restraining the
interference of the defendants, their men, agents etc. with the peaceful
possession of the plaintiff’s suit property. the suit may be decreed with as
prayed for.
Suit filed by the plaintiff is contrary to the law and is not fair. The
suit may be dismissed in the initial stage itself O.S. No.99 / 2006 filed by
the defendant against the plaintiff’s father for recovery of possession
and for permanent injunction and asking for further relief in the suit
property. To protect the case of the plaintiff, Vedhaiah Mudaliar had no
right in the suit property, wantonly created the false and forged
documents and has stated that the plaintiff has got the right and
possession of the suit property based on that, falsely created forged
12
plaintiff’s father the first defendant has done the charity work of
annadhanam in the suit property on each and every Karthigai star day
of the Tamil month. When the first defendant asked the plaintiff’s father
to vacate the suit property as she was doing the charity work single
handedly overcoming the act of the plaintiff’s father and she has been
doing the charity work of annadhanam and hence the first defendant
has asked for possession of the suit property and prayed for permanent
injunction against the plaintiff’s father in O.S. No.99 / 2006. To escape
from the case, plaintiff’s father induced the plaintiff and has created the
fake documents and based on the same, case has been filed against
defendant. the plaintiff is not entitled to ask for permanent injunction or
other relief against the first defendant and hence the suit to be
dismissed with cost.

side P.W.1 to P.W.4 were examined and on the defendant’s side
D.W.1 was examined. On the plaintiff side exhibits Ex.A.1 to Ex.A.12
have been marked as documents and on the defendant’s side exhibits
Ex.B.1 to Ex.B.16 have been marked as documents. Commonly for
both the cases in O.S. No.99 / 2006, witnesses and documents have
been recorded. For the comfort in the common judgment, parties were
mentioned as it is in O.S. No.99 / 2006.
first defendant has been enjoying the suit property as absolute owner
and got the patta in the name of the first defendant. First defendant
has settled the suit property to and n favour of his son the 3 rd
defendant on 17.09.2005. From the date of the said deed onwards 3 rd
defendant is the absolute owner of the suit property and enjoying the
same. First defendant has purchased the suit property from the
husband of the plaintiff on 20.01.1976 through sale agreement and
the suit property was being enjoyed by the first defendant and his
family members. Regard the suit property first defendant has executed
a settlement deed dated 17.09.2005 to and in favour of his son the 3 rd
defendant and from that date onwards, the suit property was under
the possession and enjoyment of the 3 rd defendant. The suit filed by
the plaintiff is barred by limitation. Regarding the suit property first
defendant has executed the settlement deed dated 17.09.2005 in
favour of the 3rd defendant and the same has been mentioned in the
written statement filed by the first defendant. The plaintiff has filed an
amendment petition to declare the settlement deed as null and void in
the year 2017. But the said prayer for declaration is barred by
limitation. The learned Defendants counsel argued that the suit to be
dismissed.
13. Regarding the suit property, the sale agreement has been entered
between the plaintiff’s husband and the first defendant on 20.01.1976
is not true. The said sale agreement of 20.01.1976 document has not
been filed in this case, defendant has stated that the patta stands in
the name of the first defendant has not been filed in this case as a
document. Defendant’s counsel argued that the said property was
purchased by the first defendant in the year 1976 itself. Why they did
not transfer the property tax in his name and they paid the property
tax in the name of plaintiff’s husband till the year 1995. Hence it is not
acceptable that the first defendant was enjoying the suit property as
owner form the year 1976 onwards. Regarding the suit property first
defendant has executed a settlement deed dated 17.09.2005 in the
17
name of the 3rd defendant and 4th defendant to administer the property
as an agent on behalf of the 3 rd defendant as an agent and the same
has been mentioned in the written statement filed by the first
defendant. Plaintiff has filed I.A. No.299 / 2006 to implead the 3 rd & 4th
defendants in the said suit under Order 1, Rule 10 of C.P.C. and also
prayed that, to declare the settlement deed in the name of the 3 rd
defendant as null and void. During the pendency of the interim
application, first defendant expired and they filed separate petition to
implead defendants 2 to 4 as the legal heirs of the first defendant and
the same has been allowed and the defendants 2 to 4 were impleaded
in the suit and then I.A. No.299 / 2006 has not been pressed by the
plaintiff in I.A. No.299 / 2006 filed to implead the 3 rd defendant in the
suit and asked for declaration of the settlement deed in his name as
null and void. The learned counsel for the plaintiff argued that the
limitation period commences from the date of filing the I.A. No.299 /
2006 to implead the 3rd defendant in the suit for declaration, hence the
prayer for declaration and the suit is not barred by limitation.
15. Even though the defendants states that the plaintiff’s husband
had entered one Sale Agreement on 20.01.1976 with the 1 st
18
defendant, the said Sale Agreement dated 20.01.1976 has not been
filed on the defendants’ side. When the Sale Agreement dated
20.01.1976 not filed as a document in this Court, first defendant stated
that he has been in possession and enjoyment of the suit property as
an absolute owner for more than 30 years, based on the sale
agreement in the year 1976 is not acceptable one. If the first
defendant is the owner of the suit property after 1976, why he has not
transferred the property tax in the name of the first defendant till
1995, it was standing in the name of the plaintiff’s husband and the
same not been explained by the defendants. First defendant has paid
the property tax in the name of the plaintiff’s husband till 1995 to
prove that he filed the said property tax receipts in the court, the said
property tax receipts has been marked as exhibit A.4 the property tax
stands in the name of plaintiff’s husband till 1995. Defendants states
that first defendant has got the patta in the suit property but the said
patta not been filed in this case.
16. First defendant stated in his written statement filed in the year
2006 stating that he has executed a settlement deed dated 17.09.2005
in the name of the third defendant. Defendants argued that the
declaration suit has been filed to declare the settlement deed as null
and void was filed in the year 2017 to amend the prayer, hence the
suit is barred by limitation. First defendant stated in his written
statement, in the year 2006 the first defendant had executed a
settlement deed dated 17.09.2005 in favour of the 3 rd defendant.
Hence the plaintiff has filed application No.299 / 2006 to implead the
3rd and 4th defendants in the suit. On 05.1.2017 it was not pressed. It
was filed in the year 2006, it was pending till 2017, during that time
first defendant died, hence the legal heirs of the first defendant, 2 to 4
defendants impleaded in the suit as legal heirs in I.A. No.299 / 2006
on the same day itself, regarding the settlement deed already steps
has been taken for the prayer, it should be treated like that. Hence in
the year 2006 itself, he has taken steps to implead the 3 rd defendant in
19
the suit and asked for declare the settlement deed as null and void.
Hence the court consider that, the suit has been filed for declaration
by the plaintiff is not barred by the limitation, this issue No.1 and
additional issue No.2 answered in favour of the plaintiff.
has got the right over the suit property. Defendant has not mentioned
that, whether the first defendant got the right through sale agreement
or he got the right by way of adverse possession. Defendants have
taken two stands in the said case. In which basis, the defendants
stated that they are the owner of the property, they have not taken
clear decision, they have taken two stands in this case. This court come
to the conclusion that it is not acceptable that the first defendant has
got the suit possession by way of adverse possession. Hence the Court
answered the issue No.2 in O.S. No.99 / 2006.
20. Issue No.2 in O.S. No.99 / 2006 and Issue No.1 and 2 in O.S.
No.113 /2006:
First defendant stated in the settlement deed that the suit
property is belonged to the first defendant, the settlement deed dated
17.09.2005 in favour of the 3rd defendant, when the suit property was
owned by the plaintiff’s husband, how it comes to the own property of
first defendant, it has not been stated in the settlement deed,
defendants argued that based on the sale agreement entered between
the plaintiff’s husband and first defendant on 20.01.1976 the first
defendant became the owner of the suit property. To prove the case,
the said sale agreement dated 20.1.1976 entered between the
plaintiff‘s husband and the first defendant has not been filed.
Defendants did not proved their case. Hence the first defendant
become the owner of the suit property basis on the sale agreement is
not acceptable, he has no right in the suit property without having any
right in the property, he has settled the settlement deed to the 3 rd
defendant, stating that first defendant is the absolute owner of the
property. and also not filed the patta in the name of the first
defendant. The learned plaintiff counsel argued that the first defendant
has settled the suit property in the name of 3 rd defendant on
17.09.2005 by way of fraudulently, hence the settlement is invalid
document, based on the invalid settlement deed the 3 rd defendant has
21
no right in the suit property. the 3rd defendant is not entitled to ask for
permanent injunction against the plaintiff, since the plaintiff is the
owner of the suit property. Regarding the suit property, first defendant
has no right to execute the settlement deed in favour of the 3 rd
defendant.
21. The learned defendants counsel argued that the suit property
came to the plaintiff’s husband through the forefathers is true,
plaintiff’s husband sold the suit property to the first defendant by way
of sale dated 20.01.1976 for a sum of Rs.14,000/-, the suit property
has been handed over on the same day to the first defendant basis on
the sale agreement he has been enjoyed the suit property as absolue
owner, then he executed a settlement deed dated 17.09.2005 in favour
of the 3rd defendant and handed over the possession of the suit
property to the 3rd defendant, he transferred the property tax in his
name and enjoyed the suit property by the 3 rd defendant and he
becomes the absolute owner of the suit property. Electricity
connections stands in the name of the first defendant from the year
1976 onwards, first defendant has running the shop in front of the suit
property, presently 4th defendant, power agent of the 3rd defendant,
look after and maintain the suit property after 1976 the plaintiff and his
family members have no right in the suit property, without have any
right in the suit property, the plaintiff is trying to disturb the peaceful
possession of the 3rd defendant, regarding the suit property first
defendant had settled the property by way of settlement deed dated
17.09.2005 to and in favour of the 3rd defendant is the valid document,
based on the settlement deed, the 3rd defendant is in the suit
possession, since the plaintiff should not interfere with the peaceful
possession of the first defendant.
22. Defendants stated in their written statement that the plaintiff and
the defendants admits that the suit property was owned by the
plaintiff’s husband. He sold the suit property by way of sale dated
22
piece and parcel of Natham House site measuring about 622 square
meter and a pan tiled House measuring 222 sq. meters therein situated
at West Car Street, Vaitheeswarankoil, Sirkali Talauk, Nagapattinam
District …”
24. How the first defendant hs got the suit property and how he
became the absolute owner of the suit property, patt has been issued
in the name of the first defendant have never been mentioned in
Ex.B13. In Ex.B13 stated that the first defendant is become the
absolute owner of the suit property. There is no details of either the
first defendant has got the adverse possession in the suit property
since he is in possession form more than 30 years and hence he got
pata in his name (or) after purchasing the property by the first
defendant from the plaintiff’s husband Govindaraju by way of sale deed
dated 20.01.1976 from the date of purchase is he absolute owner of
the property, the said details has not been mentioned in Ex.B.13. In
Ex.B.13 simply mentioned that first defendant is the absolute owner of
the suit property, how he got the absolute ownership in the suit
property has not been mentioned in Ex.B.13. And also not mentioned
the patta No. in Ex.B.13.
25. In which way the first defendant became the owner of the suit
property the same has not been mentioned in Ex.B13, he stated that he
is the absolute owner suit property and he has no right to settled the
suit property in favour of the 3 rd defendant. Defendants stated that
house tax receipts issued in the name of 3 rd defendant regarding the
suit property. To support, this defendant filed Ex.B.7 series. After
scrutinizing the document of Ex.B.7, after filing the suit only the
property tax has been paid in the name of the 3 rd defendant on
11.02.2007. Defendants states that the electricity connections of the
suit property in the name of first defendant, business tax has been
levied in front of the suit property issued in the name of the first
defendant, telephone connection has been taken in the suit property in
24
the name of the first defendant. From the year 1976 onwards electricity
connection, telephone connection, business tax has been paid in the
name of the first defendant, hence the first defendant became the
owner of the suit property.
26. First defendant cannot become the owner of the suit property,
since the electricity connection, telephone connection, business tax for
shops in the name of the first defendant. Defendants stated in the
written statement filed in O.S. No.99 / 2006 stating that the first
defendant after entered a sale agreement dated 20.01.1976 with the
plaintiff’s husband, he has got the right possession of the suit property.
But in O.S. No.113 / 2006 stated that the suit property came to the first
defendant through the adverse possession for more than 30 years,
hence the first defendant became the owner of the suit property. First
defendant did not proved his ownership and says that he became the
absolute owner of the suit property is not acceptable. Sale Agreement
dated 20.01.1976 executed by the plaintiff’s husband to the first
defendant not been filed on the defendant’s side. There is no document
filed by the first defendant to show that plaintiff’s husband had
executed the Sale Agreement dated 20.01.1976 in favour of the 1 st
defendant hence the Sale Agreement dated 20.01.1976 is invalid.
Hence this court decided that the plaintiff is not entitled to ask relief in
favour of the plaintiff as prayed for.
27) How did the 1st defendant has got the right in the suit property,
how he became the absolute owner of the suit property the same has
not been stated clearly and simply says that 1 st defendant is the
absolute owner of the suit property and he has executed the Settlement
Deed dated 17.09.2005 in the name of the 3 rd defendant. Hence the
plaintiff is entitled to ask the relief of the settlement deed document as
null and void. . This Court has decided and answered the issue that, the
1st defendant without have any right to settle the suit property in the
25
name of the 3rd defendant based on the said document, first defendant
has been enjoyed the proper as owner and they ask for Permanent
Injuction. This Court decided that the 3 rd defendant is not entiled to ask
for Permanent Injunction based on the said document. This Court
answered the Issue No.2 in O.S. No.99 / 2006 and the issue No.1 & 2 in
O.S. No.113 / 2006.
have any right in the suit property, he had constructed shops in front of
the suit property and let out the same for rent and also constructed the
constructions in front of the suit property should be removed and hand
over the vacant possession of the suit property to the plaintiff. The
above said contents has been argued by the plaintiff’s Advocate.
29. With the permission of the Plaintiff’s husband first defendant has
paid Rs.50/- as a monthly rent in the suit property is not true. Charity
has been done in the suit property is not true. First defendant has been
purchased the suit property from the plaintiff by way of sale agreement
dated 20.01.1976 for the sale consideration of Rs.14,000/- as a owner
he has been enjoyed absolutely and executed the Settlement deed
dated 17.09.2005 in favour of the 3 rd defendant, in the beginning first
defendant’s name and thereafter the third defendant is the absolute
owner of the suit property. The plaintiff said he paid monthly rent of
Rs.50/- is not true. First defendant is helping the plaintiff to do the
charity work in the suit property is not true. On 20.01.1976, first
defendant has purchased the property from the plaintiff’s husband
hence the first defendant paid the rent and also he became a tenant in
the suit property as stated is false. When the first defendant became
the owner of the suit property he has the right to construct shops in
the suit property and the same has been let out for rent. Without the
right of the plaintiff, he cannot ask for hand over the suit possession.
Hence he cannot ask for the prayer for possession. The same has been
argued by the defendants counsel.
30. Defendants accepted that the suit property was purchased by the
plaintiff’s father-in-law Veerabadra Mudaliar. After the death of
Veerabadra Mudaliar, suit property was maintained by the plaintiff’s
husband the same has been accepted by the defendants. It should
have been decide that whether the first defendant came to the suit
property as a tenant or first defendant has purchased the suit property
27
from the plaintiff’s husband and got the ownership. Plaintiff stated in
his plaint that the first defendant came to the suit property for a
monthly rent of Rs.50/- the same has been paid to the plaintiff’s
husband. The said monthly rent has been utilized for the charity work.
Plaintiff stated that the same in her plaint. Defendants argued that the
first defendant has purchased the suit property from the plaintiff’s
