Respondent-plaintiff suggested the appellant- defendant to purchase a house site so that residential house can be constructed thereon with her money and they came to know that one Sunil D. Thakar, S/o. Dayalji D. Thakar is ready to sell the site as he made his property in to house plots for reasonable price.

Respondent-plaintiff with the help of Dr. N.S.D.Prasada Rao obtained forged and fabricated sale deed in her name and prayed to dismiss the suit. 5. The following issues were framed by the learned trial Court: 1. Whether the plaintiff is the absolute owner of suit schedule property by virtue of Regd. Sale Deed dated 26.11.1993 ? 2.

The learned trial Court failed to appreciate that the registration value of the property at the time of making payment of sale consideration was Rs.500/- per square yard and the total comes to Rs.1,34,500/-, after negotiations the sale consideration is settled at Rs.99,489/- and the learned trial Court erred in accepting the pleading of the respondent-plaintiff that the suit schedule property is purchased for Rs.26,889/-. The learned trial Court misinterpreted the suggestions given by the appellant’s counsel to the respondent-plaintiff. 8.3. The learned trial Court has proceeded in a prejudicial manner by accepting the version of the respondent-plaintiff and ignored the submissions of the appellant-defendant. The pass book entries of the respondent-plaintiff were altered at several places and such entries are fabricated and forged and also erred that the respondent-plaintiff is not a party to the suit for specific performance. 8.3. The learned trial Court has proceeded in a prejudicial manner by accepting the version of the respondent-plaintiff and ignored the submissions of the appellant-defendant. The pass book entries of the respondent-plaintiff were altered at several places and such entries are fabricated and forged and also erred that the respondent-plaintiff is not a party to the suit for specific performance. The findings of the learned trial Court that Ex.A1 is prior in point of time with that of the sale deed of appellant- defendant and that CW.1 has not come forward to oppose the suit filed by the appellant-defendant for specific performance which came to be decreed and sale deed came to be executed in his favour. The learned trial Court failed to see that the appellant- defendant is in continuous possession of the suit schedule property and is in adverse possession of the same. 8.4. The observation of the learned trial Court that respondent- plaintiff is entitled for declaration of title as per Section 14(1) of Hindu Succession Act. In fact, Hindu Succession Act is not applicable to the case on hand. The learned trial Court failed to consider the fact that the evidence of PW.2 and CW.1 is not trust worthy and ought to have held that the appellant-defendant has discharged his burden by proving the payment of sale consideration to the GPA holder of the original property owner. In support of his contention has relied on the decisions in the case of (1) Balkrishan Vs. Satyaprakash and Others , 2001 (2) SCC 498 , (2) Des Raj and Others Vs. Bhagat Ram (Dead) by LRs and Others, Appeal (Civil) 5846 of 2000 dated 20.02.2007 of the Supreme Court of India. 9. Learned counsel for the respondent-plaintiff submits that the learned trial Court has properly appreciated the facts of the case and rightly decreed the suit as prayed for, no interference is called for and in support of his contention has relied on the decisions in the cases of (1) Prem Nath Khanna and Others Vs. Narinder Nath Kapoor (Dead) Through LRs and Others, AIR 2016 SC 1433 , (2) Jai Kishan and Others Vs. Sardari Lal and Others, AIR 2015 Himachal Pradesh 93, (3) K.B. Bhandari Vs. Laxuman Limboo , AIR 2017 Sikkim 37. 10. Learned counsel on record have filed their written submissions in support of their contentions. 11. Narinder Nath Kapoor (Dead) Through LRs and Others, AIR 2016 SC 1433 , (2) Jai Kishan and Others Vs. Sardari Lal and Others, AIR 2015 Himachal Pradesh 93, (3) K.B. Bhandari Vs. Laxuman Limboo , AIR 2017 Sikkim 37. 10. Learned counsel on record have filed their written submissions in support of their contentions. 11. Heard learned counsel on record, perused the material. 12. Now the point for consideration is : Whether the judgment and decree passed by the learned trial Court in OS.No.744 of 2007, dated 16.10.2019 suffers from any perversity or illegality? If so, does it require interference of this Court? 13. Ex.A1 is the Certified Copy of Registered Sale Deed dated 26.11.1993 executed by Sri Sunil D.

Witness adds that amount under Ex.B2 was given to the GPA holder by name Mahesh and the amount under Ex.B3 was given to Mr. Sunil and he got knowledge by then itself that Mr. Mahesh is a registered GPA holder of Mr. Sunil and he received legal notice from the respondent-plaintiff, got issued Ex.A4 reply and there is no recital that he has previously purchased the suit schedule property and got it registered in his name. Prior to mutation of his name in the Municipal Records, the name of one Annapoorna was recorded in the Municipal Records and in Electricity Department, he is in possession of the suit property as of now and he has given it on rent which is fetching Rs.3000/- to 4000/- per month. Prior to mutation of his name in the Municipal Records, the name of one Annapoorna was recorded in the Municipal Records and in Electricity Department, he is in possession of the suit property as of now and he has given it on rent which is fetching Rs.3000/- to 4000/- per month. Ex.C1 is the copy of the order in CMA No.1059 of 2009 of the High Court, dated 21.12.2009 to dispose of the suit within a period of 6 months from the date of receipt of copy of the order. Appellant- defendant denied the suggestion that in the year 2006 itself, the name of the respondent-plaintiff is mutated in the Municipal Records by the date of filing OS.No.345 of 2002 and he also denied the suggestion that Annapurna is no other than respondent-plaintiff who is his divorced wife. 22.1. In Balkrishnan1, the Supreme Court held that “A person claiming title by adverse possession has to prove three nec – nec vi, nec clam and nec precario. In other words, he must show that his possession is adequate in continuity in publicity and in extent”. In the said case, plaintiff’s adverse possession commenced from 04.09.1973 and the period of 12 years completed on 04.09.1985 before the purchase of the suit land by the respondents therein on 11.12.1985 and the suit was filed on December 6, 1986. Therefore, the appellant-defendant therein has perfected his titled by adverse possession. 22.2. In Des Raj2, the Supreme Court observed that “The principle of law is firmly established that a person who bases his title on adverse possession must show by clear and unequivocal evidence that his possession was hostile to the real owner and amounted to denial of his title to the property claimed. For deciding whether the alleged acts of a person constituted adverse possession, the animus of the person doing those acts is the most crucial factor. Adverse possession is commenced in wrong and is aimed against right. A person is said to hold the property adversely to the real owner when that person in denial of the owner's right excluded him from the enjoyment of his property”. 23. Adverse possession is commenced in wrong and is aimed against right. A person is said to hold the property adversely to the real owner when that person in denial of the owner's right excluded him from the enjoyment of his property”. 23. It is the case of the appellant-defendant that the plot was purchased by him for a sale consideration of Rs.370/- per square yard to an extent of 266.66 square yards along with a room bearing House number from Sunil D. Thakar and physical possession was delivered to him on 25.11.1993. Except the oral testimony of the appellant-defendant there is no evidence placed by him that he has purchased the suit schedule property from Sunil D. Thakar leaving apart Ex.B2. Another defense taken by the appellant-defendant is that he is in adverse possession of the suit schedule property since 1993. Ex.B4 is the cash receipt dated 25.11.1993 which only states that Sunil D. Thakar has received an amount of Rs.45,600/- . The adverse possession claimed by the appellant-defendant is not proved by way of any evidence much less either by oral or documentary evidence. The decisions cited by the appellant’s counsel stated supra are distinguishable from the facts of the present case and thus the ratio of those cases would not apply to the case on hand. 24.1. In Prem Nath Khanna3, the point fell for consideration before the Supreme Court is “whether the plea taken by the deceased respondent No.1-defendant No.1 being in possession as a lessee could claim the alternate plea of adverse possession vice versa”. The Supreme Court held that respondent No.1 has no right to claim ownership over the suit property on the ground of adverse possession by taking a plea of sham transaction”. 24.2. In Jai Kishan, (supra) the High Court of Himachal Pradesh held that “Plea of ownership and adverse possession are mutually inconsistent pleas, adverse possession cannot begin to operate until ownership is renounced”. 24.3. In K.B. Bhandari, (supra) the High Court of Sikkim held that “Claim based on title and on adverse possession mutually inconsistent – The concept of adverse possession is in opposition to a claim under title, two claims cannot either be parallel or simultaneous”. 25. 24.3. In K.B. Bhandari, (supra) the High Court of Sikkim held that “Claim based on title and on adverse possession mutually inconsistent – The concept of adverse possession is in opposition to a claim under title, two claims cannot either be parallel or simultaneous”. 25. The appellant-defendant at one breath stated that he is the owner of the suit schedule property and the possession was delivered to him on 25.11.1993 and also became owner of the schedule property under Ex.B2-sale deed and he failed to prove the same. 26. The decision cited by the respondent-plaintiff’s counsel in Prem Nath Khanna3, Jai Kishan4 and K.B.Bhandari5 are squarely applicable to the case on hand. 27. The evidence of CW.1 is germane to decide the lis. The appellant-defendant has contended that he has paid an amount of Rs.27,000/- under Ex.B3 to CW.1. Exs.A1/A17 goes to show that CW.1 was having a registered GPA in his favour executed by Sunil D. Thakar vide GPA No.2213 of 1993, Book 4, Volume 215, Pages 481 to 484, dated 08.11.1993 registered at R.O., R.R. District. Exs.A16 and A18 are the Pass Books of the respondent-plaintiff which shows the amounts of deposits and withdrawal. Exs.A5 to A8 are the Property Tax Receipts from the years 2005 to 2008 with that of the receipts issued by GHMC under Ex.A9. The letter issued by Divisional Engineer, Electricity Department under Ex.A12 and Property Tax Receipts under Exs.A14 and A15 goes to show that after the execution of sale deed in favour of respondent-plaintiff under Exs.A1 and A17 property is mutated in her name. Furthermore, CW.1 has also stated that he has given letter to the concerned Department for mutation of the name, in pursuance of execution of Exs.A1/A17- sale deed. Ex.B5-Property Tax Receipt is after Ex.A6-Property Tax receipt dated 14.10.2005. The documents filed by the appellant-defendant are not much helpful to his case and the admission made by the appellant-defendant that he made the respondent-plaintiff as defendant No.1 in the suit filed by him for specific performance of contract which goes to show that he has knowledge of Exs.A1 and A17 sale deed. Furthermore, he has not stated in Ex.A4-reply notice that the sale deed is executed in his name by the Court under Ex.B2 on 11.02.2006 except stating that he has a conveyance deed. Furthermore, he has not stated in Ex.A4-reply notice that the sale deed is executed in his name by the Court under Ex.B2 on 11.02.2006 except stating that he has a conveyance deed. Appellant-defendant has suppressed the material facts and he has not made out any case to interfere with the orders passed by the learned trial Court. 28. The learned trial Court has elaborately discussed the contentions raised by the parties and rightly decreed the suit holding that the respondent-plaintiff is the absolute owner of the suit schedule property and that she is entitled for delivery of possession and directed the appellant-defendant to vacate the same within 2 months from the date of judgment (16.10.2019) and further directed to pay Rs.4,000/- per month for 3 years prior to till the date of the suit. 29. This Court is of the view that the appellant-defendant has not made out any case to interfere with the orders passed by the learned trial Court, no interference is called for and the point is answered accordingly. 30. In view of the discussions above, Appeal deserves no consideration and the same is liable to be dismissed and is accordingly dismissed. 31. In the result, Appeal is dismissed without costs. Interim Orders if any stands vacated. Miscellaneous application/s stands closed.
