JUDGMENT Mrs. SABINA, J.: - Plaintiff-Moti Ram had filed a suit for declaration that he was owner of plot No. 254P, Sector 12-A, Panchkula and the order of allotment passed by defendant no.3 in favour of defendant No.4 vide Office memo dated 8.10.1987 was illegal, null and void. 2. The case of the plaintiff, in brief, was that the plot in question was allotted to him on 30.5.1983 by defendant No.3. Plaintiff had paid some of the instalments. A notice was received by the plaintiff in the month of March, 1988 for payment of ‘ 6171.95. Plaintiff sent his reply dated 20.4.1988 seeking extension of time to enable him to make arrangement for the payment of instalment. Plaintiff received another notice dated 9.5.1988 from the defendants that the plot in question had been transferred in the name of defendant No.4. On inquiry plaintiff came to know that defendant No.5 was a close relative of defendant No.4 . Defendant No.5 had close relations with the plaintiff and by taking undue advantage of the closeness with the plaintiff, he had misused and forged the signatures of the plaintiffs while moving an application for transfer of the plot in favour of defendant No.4. At the instance of the plaintiff, a representation was moved by the plaintiff to defendant No.2. After an inquiry, FIR No.40 dated 22.2.1989 was got registered against defendant No. 4 under Sections 420, 467, 468 and 471 of the Indian Penal Code. Hence, the suit was filed by the plaintiff. 3. Defendants No. 1 to 3 in their written statement averred that the plot in question had been allotted to the plaintiff and had been transferred in the name of defendant No.4 on a request made by the plaintiff on 8.10.1987. 4. Defendant No.4 in his written statement averred that the plaintiff had himself moved the application for transfer of the plot in favour of the answering defendant. The other contentions in the plaint qua forgery etc. were denied. 5. Defendant No.5 in his written statement averred that the plaintiffs had never engaged the answering defendant as his counsel. 6. 4.

Aggrieved by the said judgment and decree, plaintiff preferred an appeal and the same was dismissed by the Additional District Judge, Panchkula vide judgment and decree dated 21.8.2003. Hence, the present appeal by the plaintiff. 8. Learned counsel for the plaintiff has submitted that the Courts below had erred in dismissing the suit of the plaintiff. Defendant No.5 was a counsel for the plaintiff. Taking undue advantage of his relationship, defendant No.5 got the plot allotted to the plaintiff transferred in favour of defendant No.4. Defendants No.4 and 5 were closely related to each other. There was no occasion for the plaintiff to give his address on application Exhibit P2 of defendant No.5. Plaintiff was resident of Chandigarh and could have easily given his own address on the alleged application for transfer of plot. Defendant No.5 had denied that he had represented the plaintiff as his counsel. On coming to know about the fraud committed by defendants No. 4 and 5, defendant No.2 had lodged an FIR against the private defendants. Plaintiff was resident of Chandigarh and could have easily given his own address on the alleged application for transfer of plot. Defendant No.5 had denied that he had represented the plaintiff as his counsel. On coming to know about the fraud committed by defendants No. 4 and 5, defendant No.2 had lodged an FIR against the private defendants. As per the expert, signatures of the plaintiff did not tally on the application submitted by him for transfer of the plot in favour of defendant No.4. Defendant No.4 had failed to take any plea in the written statement qua payment made by him at the time of purchase of the plot in question. 9. Learned counsel for defendants No. 4 and 5 has submitted that defendant No.5 had represented the plaintiff in a case upto the year 1981. The plot in question was allotted to the plaintiff in the year 1983. An application for permission to transfer the plot in favour of defendant No.4 was made in the year 1987. In these circumstances, the story put forth by the plaintiff that defendant No.5 had misused his position stood belied. The original letter of allotment had been produced on record by the defendants which showed that the same had been handed over to the defendants by the plaintiff himself. The suit for declaration simpliciter without seeking possession was not maintainable. 10. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties, I am of the opinion that the instant appeal deserves dismissal. 11. In the present case, admittedly, defendant No.5 had represented the plaintiff as his counsel along with others upto the year 1981. The plot in question was allotted to the plaintiff in the year 1983. Originally, an application for transfer of the plot in favour of defendant No.4 was moved by the plaintiff on 10.3.1987, Exhibit D9. The said application is on a stamp paper which was purchased by the plaintiff on 10.3.1987. Another application was moved by the plaintiff on 26.6.1987, Exhibit D10, in continuation of his application moved for permission for transfer of his residential plot in question. In the said application, plaintiff himself gave his address as House No. 1936, Sector 22-B,Chandigarh. There is no dispute qua the signatures of the plaintiff on the said applications Exhibits D9 and D10. 12. In the said application, plaintiff himself gave his address as House No. 1936, Sector 22-B,Chandigarh. There is no dispute qua the signatures of the plaintiff on the said applications Exhibits D9 and D10. 12. The expert examined by the plaintiff had compared the signatures of the plaintiff on application dated 1.9.1987 and in his opinion, the same did not tally with the standard signatures of plaintiff-Moti Ram. In these circumstances, the Courts below rightly came to the conclusion, by ignoring the report of the hand writing expert, that the plaintiff had himself moved an application before defendants No. 1 to 3 seeking permission to transfer the plot allotted to him in favour of defendant no.4. There are various other applications on record including Exhibit P36 dated 17.3.1987 which bears the signatures of the plaintiff. 13. Plaintiff had been represented by defendant No.5 till the year 1981 and, in these circumstances, the Courts below rightly held that there was no occasion for defendant No. 5 to misutilize his position as the plot was allotted to the plaintiff in the year 1983. Defendant No.1 could not have foreseen that the plot would be allotted to the plaintiff in the year 1983. Moreover, an application for transfer of the plot in favour of defendant No.4 was moved in the year 1987 i.e. after about six years of defendant No.5 having represented the plaintiff in a criminal case. A letter was addressed by Haryana Urban Development Authority to the plaintiff Exhibit D2 qua transfer of the plot in favour of defendant No.4. The said letter was addressed to the plaintiff at his official address. In these circumstances, it cannot be said that the plaintiff had no knowledge about the transfer proceedings. The letter, Exhibit D2, is dated 16.4.1987 and a reference has been made to the application dated 17.3.1987 moved by the plaintiff. Vide this letter, the requisite documents were demanded from the plaintiff alongwith an affidavit for transfer of the plot. In a reference to the said, plaintiff had written letter, Exhibit D1 dated 26.6.1987. The signatures of the plaintiff on the said letter are not in dispute. It appears that the plaintiff had agreed to transfer the plot in favour of defendant No.4 and had given the address of defendant No.5 apparently with a view to avoid further communication. In a reference to the said, plaintiff had written letter, Exhibit D1 dated 26.6.1987. The signatures of the plaintiff on the said letter are not in dispute. It appears that the plaintiff had agreed to transfer the plot in favour of defendant No.4 and had given the address of defendant No.5 apparently with a view to avoid further communication. Both the Courts below,after appreciating the evidence led by the parties on record, have given a finding to the effect that the plaintiff had sought transfer of the plot allotted to him in favour of defendant No.4. The arguments raised by the learned counsel for the appellant failed to dislodge the said finding of fact arrived at by the Courts below. 14. No substantial question of law arises in this appeal. 15. Dismissed. -----------0.K.B.0------------
