The suit was contested by the defendants, and, they have filed written statement, wherein, they have taken preliminary objections qua maintainability, estoppel, non-joinder of necessary parties, and, the suit is not properly valued, for the purposes of Court fee, and, jurisdiction. On merits, it is submitted, that, the plaintiff never purchased the suit property, and, document of 29.9.2007, is, a General Power of Attorney, executed by Mr. Ashok Jindal, in, favour of the plaintiff, which is not legally valid, as, the same is not registered, under, the Provisions of the Indian Registration Act. It is also contended in the written statement, that, the defendants were persuaded, and, induced by the plaintiff to enter into an agreement to sell with respect to brick kiln with him. It is also contended that the quantity of bricks, as, mentioned by the plaintiff, were, not available on the spot. It is further contended that the plaintiff did not disclose to them the true facts about his rights, title and interest, in, the brick kiln. The defendants in their written-statement, admitted, that an agreement, for an amount of Rs.33.75 lacs was reduced, into writing between the parties on 22.8.2008, with, an understanding, that, the cost of material amounting, to, Rs.12 lacs, will be, the part of this sale consideration, and, the same will be paid after the plaintiff will get the lease transferred, in, the name of the defendants, and, the agreement was also entered into with the bonafide belief, that the plaintiff, is, competent, to, enter into a contract, his having title over the suit property. But the plaintiff failed to get the lease of land transferred in the name of the defendants, and, also failed to induct, the, defendants as partners in the firm. It is also admitted, that, a sum of Rs.10 lacs, was, paid by the defendants to the plaintiff. However, a sum of Rs. 10 lacs was wrongly taken, by the plaintiff, despite, the fact of his being aware qua his not holding title over the suit property, and, the plaintiff intentionally withheld the true facts. It is further not denied that a sum of Rs. However, a sum of Rs. 10 lacs was wrongly taken, by the plaintiff, despite, the fact of his being aware qua his not holding title over the suit property, and, the plaintiff intentionally withheld the true facts. It is further not denied that a sum of Rs. 10 lacs was to be paid on or before 21.11.2008, but the same was not paid to the plaintiff, as he has not performed his part of, the apt, obligation fastened, in, the agreement, hence, the defendants were not required to pay the second, and, third installments as alleged. Since the contract was vitiated on account of fraud, the plaintiff, is, not entitled to claim forfeiture of Rs. 10 lacs received by him, and, on the contrary, the plaintiff, is liable to repay, a sum of Rs. 20 lacs being the double amount of the part of the sale consideration, received by him on 22.8.2008, as per the terms of the agreement. It is also admitted by the defendants, that, possession of the suit property, was, handed over to them on 22.8.2008. It is further averred, that, defendants were not handed over 15 lacs baked and 10 lacs unbaked bricks. It is further averred that the licence, which was valid up to 31.3.2009, was handed, over to the defendants alongwith chimney and damaged labour huts. However, no tools and equipments were handed over to them. It is further averred that lease land has been taken over the land owners to whom it belonged, because, the plaintiff has failed to get the licence of the brick kiln, renewed, and the land owners have after leveling the same started cultivating the same. It is denied, that the defendants sold the stock of 15 lacs baked bricks for price of Rs.25 lacs, and, further sold 10 lacs unbaked bricks, after, utilizing coal and fire wood, from, the stock for further amount of Rs.18 lacs. It is also denied that the defendants have failed, to, honour the terms of the agreement and are also liable to pay for the aforesaid baked, and, unbaked bricks at the rate of Rs. 1450/and Rs. 300/per thousand, respectively. The defendant on the other hand alleged, that, there were only one lac raw bricks bricks whereof are badly damaged, and, besides them, there were about ten lacs baked bricks, on, the spot. 1450/and Rs. 300/per thousand, respectively. The defendant on the other hand alleged, that, there were only one lac raw bricks bricks whereof are badly damaged, and, besides them, there were about ten lacs baked bricks, on, the spot. It is also averred by the defendants, that they were always ready and willing to perform, their part of the agreement, but on account of the defect in the title, of the plaintiff, the agreement became unenforceable. It has also been admitted by the defendants, that, the plaintiff had sent a legal notice to them. In reply to the same the plaintiff, was, asked to perform his part of the agreement, before, receiving the remaining sale consideration. The suit is alleged to be barred by limitation. The remaining averments made in the plaint are denied by the defendants and thus they pray for dismissal of the suit. 4. The plaintiff filed replication to the written statement of the defendants wherein, he denied the contents of the written statement and reaffirmed and reasserted the averments, made in the plaint. 5.

Since, issues aforesaid are interconnected, thereupon they are amenable, for theirs’ being, hence, cumulatively decided. 8. An agreement, to, sell in respect whereof, a decree of specific performance, is, espoused to be renderable, by this Court, is, comprised in Ex. P1/A. It is executed interse the plaintiff, and, the defendants. The date of execution thereof, is, 22.8.2008. Apparently, it is uncontroverted, that, the possession of the suit land, is, with the defendants. Prior to the relevant contract, of sale executed, interse, the plaintiff and the defendants, and, as, unraveled by Ex.DA, one Ashok Jindal, proprietor of the brick kiln, hence, thereunder rather constituting the plaintiff, as, his General power of Attorney, for, all the purposes, as, embodied therein. The aforesaid exhibit, is, not proven to be either revoked, or, cancelled pointedly at, the time contemporaneous, to, the subsequent thereto execution, of, agreement, of, 22.8.2008, agreement whereof, is borne in Ex.P1/A. However, the relevant agreement of sale borne, in, Ex.P1/A, as, apparently executed interse the plaintiff, with, the defendants, is, not under any apposite authorization, hence, bestowed upon him, under Ex.P1/E, contrarily rather Ex.P1/E visibly omits to empower him, to, execute Ex.P1/A, in his individual capacity, as, owner of the Brick kiln. However, the plaintiff, espouses, of his holding possession, right, title and interest, to, rather independently, hence execute Ex.P1/A, in respect of the suit property, with, the defendants, espousal whereof, is, rested upon Ex. P1/E, sworn by one Ashok Jindal, on 28.9.2007, (i) whereas with Ex. DA, whereunder, the plaintiff stands constituted as, a, General Power of Attorney, of, one Sh. Ashok Jindal, (ii) thereupon, it appears, that, the apposite propagation reared by the plaintiff, qua, his on anvil of Ex.P1/E, rather holding, an independent right, to, execute Ex.P 1/A, being hence falsified, (iii) rather when though Ex.DA, stood, executed, in contemporaneity, vis-a-vis, the execution of the apt affidavit, it hence, rather acquires both truth besides veracity, and, when thereunder, the plaintiff was constituted, by one Shri Ashok Jindal, as the apt General Power of Attorney, (iv) hence, subsequent thereto, execution of the relevant agreement interse the plaintiff, and, the defendants, rather in his individual capacity, AND, as, owner thereof, besides, his on anvil thereof, making an espousal, of his holding right, title and interest, to rather make, it, in respect of the suit property, (v) obviously being gripped, with an entrenched taint, of, vitiation, hence arising from his visible disability, to, execute it, and, his further concomitant disability, to, also thereafter hence execute a registered deed of conveyance, in, his individual capacity, with, the defendants (vi) Moreso when, the, General Power of Attorney as embodied in Ex.DA is not proven by any cogent evidence, to hence stand cancelled. In aftermath, rendition of a decree for specific performance, is unrenderable, vis-a-vis, the plaintiff. 9. In aftermath, rendition of a decree for specific performance, is unrenderable, vis-a-vis, the plaintiff. 9. In conjunction with the aforesaid inference, this Court also bears in mind, qua, one Garibu hence executing a lease agreement, with M/S Sada Shiv Bricks Company, and, the longevity, of the aforesaid lease agreement, being up to 30.9.2016, (i) thereupon while therewith conjoining, the aforesaid trite factum, begets an inference of any representation, by the plaintiff, of, his being owner of the aforereferred brick kiln, hence to acquire tenacity, reiteratedly enjoined its adduction, into evidence (ii) given only upon, the apposite aforestated lease deed, being adduced into evidence, and, hence its making unfoldment(s) qua all the rights’, being preserved therein, vis-a-vis, one or more partners thereof, to, bestow rights as owner, upon, the plaintiff (iii) or unless any rights standing exclusively embodied therein, vis-a-vis, one Ashok Jindal, one of the partner(s), of the aforereferred firm, to, induct the plaintiff, as a sublessee rather would alone give leverage qua empowerments, if any, vis-a-vis the apt factum, being validly bestowed upon, the plaintiff, (iii) whereas non-adduction into evidence of the apposite lease deed, executed interse Garibu and aforereferred partnership firm, rather constrains an inference of one Ashok Jindal though inducted by Garibu, only as a lessee, vis-a-vis, the land whereon, the aforesaid Brick kiln was installed, yet, his being interdicted, to, contrary therewithin, hence create any interest vis-a-vis the suit property, larger than the one, wherewith he stood vested, in the soil, whereon the raw material, for hence operating the brick kiln, rather was existing. Reiteratedly, the apt tendering(s) besides exhibition, thereof by the litigants’ concerned, was, imperative for, hence, enabling this Court, to, therefrom rather fathom, qua any rights, to induct sub lesses’, being reserved therein to be conferable, by, one Ashok Jindal. Also reiteratedly, omission(s) thereof rather also foreclose, an adverse inference, against the plaintiff, qua it not containing, any recital, whereby any authorization was conferred or bestowed upon the apt authorized, partner(s) of M/S Sada Shiv Brick company, for selling, the suit property, to the plaintiff. Also reiteratedly, omission(s) thereof rather also foreclose, an adverse inference, against the plaintiff, qua it not containing, any recital, whereby any authorization was conferred or bestowed upon the apt authorized, partner(s) of M/S Sada Shiv Brick company, for selling, the suit property, to the plaintiff. Apart therefrom, even if the aforesaid, omission, has sequelled the drawing, of an adverse inference vis-a-vis the plaintiff, it was yet curable by the plaintiff, by his concerting to add, in, the array of codefendants, one Ashok Jindal, and other partners of the firm hence, carrying the aforesaid nomenclature, (iv) thereupon, for, rather enabling him/them, to, file the apposite written-statement(s), besides, for enabling him/them, to, contest the veracity of execution, of the apposite affidavit, (v) especially when, on, anchor thereof he/they may concert, to, rip apart, the, efficacy of subsequent thereto, hence, execution of the apposite power of attorney, (vi) besides, his/theirs stepping into the witness box, was, hence imperative, for lending succor, vis-a-vis, the apt therewith pleadings, and, for the drawing of an inevitable firm conclusion, vis-a-vis, the tenacity hence acquired, by subsequent thereto affidavit, executed on 22.8.2008, by one Ashok Jindal, (vii) dehors non adduction ,of, the apt lease agreement, executed, interse, one Ashok Jindal with Garibu, demonstrative qua whether any rights being therein preserved therein, vis-a-vis, one Ashok Jindal, for the latter proceeding, to bestow or confer power, if any, upon the plaintiff, hence, to execute a valid contract of sale, with, the defendants. All the aforesaid, omissions’, also constrain this Court, to, draw an adverse inference qua the plaintiff, rather not holding, any, absolute right title, and, interest in the suit property, hence his being disabled, to, execute the sale agreement, with the defendants nor his thereafter being empowered to execute a registered deed of conveyance, reiteratedly hence, the, decree for specific performance, as claimed by him, is unrenderable vis-a-vis him. 10. Be that as it may, accentuated vigor vis-a-vis the aforesaid inference, is, galvanized, by the plaintiff, while being subjected, to, crossexamination by the learned counsel, for the defendants, his acquiescing qua the relevant brick kiln (a) being owned by one Ashok Jindal (b) it being run under a partnership deed (c) the apt licence being also in the name of the firm (d) it not being sold to him by the firm. Further more, he also acquiesces therein, of, it being sold to him by Ashok Jindal, under a Power of attorney executed, in his favour. The effect of the aforesaid acquiescence(s), is, of thereupon there being hence a peremptory obligation, rather hence cast upon the plaintiff, to, place on record, the partnership deed, and, with the lease deed, especially, when it was executed interse Garibu, with a partnership firm, and, also with the apt license stood issued by the competent authority, vis-a-vis, the partnership firm. However, none of the aforesaid documents, were adduced into evidence, thereupon vigor, if any, of the affidavit, whereunder, one Ashok Jindal, one of the partners of the partnership firm, vis-a-vis whom, one Garibu executed a lease deed, whereunder the apt conferment, is bestowed, upon the plaintiff, rather is omnibously denuded. More so, when there, is, no reference in the apposite affidavit, of, one Ashok Jindal, holding, the apposite authorization, from, other copartners of the partnership firm, to, sell, the suit property vis-a-vis the plaintiff, besides, when obviously one Ashok Jindal, did not, hence hold any apt authorization, to, bestow all the apt rights, title and interest, as, owner, rather upon the plaintiff. The further concomitant sequel thereof, is, that, hence with a clear pronounced, disability hence forbidding the plaintiff, to, execute the sale agreement, with the defendants, thereupon his being disabled, to claim rendition of a decree, of specific performance, vis-a-vis, the suit property. 11. Apart therefrom, the, apposite licence, vis-a-vis, the afore nomenclatured brick kiln, held longevity only up to March, 2009, whereafter, the licence remained unrenewed, (i) thereupon, as aforestated, with the apposite licence being issued rather in the name, of, the partnership firm, and, the latter remaining unarrayed, as, a party to the lis, (ii) thereupon, it would be grossly improper, for this Court, to, also pronounce a direction, upon, an unarrayed litigant, to, ensure renewal of the apposite licence. Want whereof, rather begets an apt corollary qua hence, this Court, being constrained, to, pronounce a decree of specific performance qua the firm, for it, in, consonance with the apt contract of sale, hence, rather executing, a, registered deed of conveyance, with, the defendants, whereas, for all the aforesaid reasons, it held the apposite singular besides apt empowerment, to execute it, AND also held the apt legal capacity to execute a registered deed of conveyance, vis-a-vis, the suit property, with the defendants. 12. 12. In support of the, claim, for rendition of a decree, for pecuniary damages, the plaintiff was enjoined, to, adduce potent evidence qua the number of baked, and, unbaked bricks, lying on the suit property, tritely at the time contemporaneous, vis-a-vis, delivery of possession, of the suit property, by the plaintiff vis-a-vis the defendants, in respect thereof, the plaintiff has depended, upon, Ex. PW2/A proven by PW2. However, no credence can be imputed thereto, given PW2, in his crossexamination, upon, an apposite affirmative suggestion, being put to him, of stock and sale register, bill books and other account books, being maintained at the brick kiln, his rendering, his apt acquiesces thereto, (i) thereupon with the aforesaid, hence, constituting the best documentary evidence in respect of, qua at the time contemporaneous, to, execution of PW2/A, whereat, the possession of the suit property, was, delivered to the plaintiff, the aforestated stock rather existing thereat, (i) contrarily, withholding thereof, generates, drawing of an adverse inference, against, the plaintiff, (ii) besides with PW2 also making deposition, comprised, in his crossexamination, of Ex.PW2/A, not, carrying any date wise reflections, besides its not carrying, his signatures, thereupon it appears, of his surmisely preparing, it, without his tallying and collating, all entires borne therein, vis-a-vis, the entries occurring in aforereferred best documentary evidence, as comprised in stock, sale register, bill books, and other accounts books, maintained at the aforesaid kiln, wherein entries were made on a day to day basis. Consequently, any claim for rendition of a decree, for computing, in consonance with Ex.PW2/A, of pecuniary charges vis-a-vis the plaintiff, cannot be accepted All issues are accordingly decided. Issue No. 12 13. Since the averments existing in the plaint make an evident display of the suit being properly valued for the purpose of Court fee and jurisdiction, hence this issue is accordingly decided in favour of the plaintiff, and, against the defendants. Relief: 14. In view of the above, the present suit is dismissed, alongwith, all applications, if any. Decree sheet be prepared accordingly. No costs.
