suit was contested by the defendant No.1 who inter alia contended that he never executed the sale agreement alleged by the plaintiff. He claimed that he had obtained a sum of Rs.50,000/- from the husband of plaintiff as a hand loan and that the husband of plaintiff demanded for documents as security for the money paid. He claimed that he had to sign on the instrument brought by the plaintiff's husband. Even then, he claimed, the plaintiff's husband did not disclose that the document that was signed was an agreement of sale, but informed him that it was only a loan document. He claimed that the husband of plaintiff informed him that the agreement was only to evidence that a sum of Rs.2,00,000/- was given as a hand loan and assured to pay the balance of Rs.1,50,000/within a few days. The defendant No.1 claimed that the husband of plaintiff did not pay Rs.1,50,000/- and when insisted, he put a condition that the plaintiff should sell the suit property. The defendant No.1 claimed that he was not ready to sell the suit property and therefore did not insist for the balance Rs.1,50,000/- from the husband of the plaintiff. With these and other contentions, the defendant No.1 claimed that he was not liable to convey the suit property to the plaintiff.
