and that, they are income tax payees. A perusal of the respondents'/plaintiffs' passbooks does show that were frequent deposits and withdrawal of amounts. The argument advanced on behalf of the appellant that since the passbook of the respondents/plaintiffs between January and April, 2007, did not show that they had enough credit balance, and hence should necessarily lead to the conclusion that they would not have been able to pay the remaining sale consideration if called upon to do so, according to us is untenable, as the test for demonstrating readiness is not that the party concerned should have requisite amount in his/her bank account, but that, he/she should have the necessary wherewithal to garner funds. The vendee must be able to satisfy the Court that he has a means to shore up the necessary funds. In this behalf, it is relevant to note that on 22.12.2007, there was a credit balance in the sum of Rs.7,61,531/-, in the account of respondent No.1/plaintiff No.1 (see Ex.P.19). Similarly, the passbook of respondent No.2/plaintiff No.2 (see Ex.P.20) would also show that as on 27.12.2007, it carried a credit balance of Rs.7,80,093/-. A close examination of the aforesaid passbook would show that money was frequently deposited and withdrawn from the account. Therefore, we have no manner of doubt that at every given point in time, the respondents/plaintiffs were in a position to pay the balance sale consideration of Rs.15,00,000/-.
