Case brief

AI extract

What is this about?

On the second appeal, the Patna High Court dismissed the suit challenging the validity of sale deeds. The court held that the lower courts' concurrent findings regarding title acquisition via registered sale deeds versus unproven gift deeds were not perverse and did not require reappreciation of evidence in the absence of a substantial question of law arising.

What did the court decide?

The appeal was dismissed as there was no substantial question of law arising for consideration.

ORAL JUDGMENT Date: 17-10-2016

¶6

Heard Mr.Sushanta Kumar Das, learned counsel

¶7

for the appellant.

¶8

The plaintiff is the appellant in this appeal against the judgment and decree of affirmance dismissing the suit.

¶9

The plaintiff filed the suit to declare that eight sale deeds dated 28.06.1993 executed by defendant 2^nd set in favour of defendant 1^st set with respect to the suit land were illegal, null and void, and not binding upon the plaintiff. The defendants denied the assertions of the plaintiff and claimed that the original title holder Hussainee Mian and his heirs had executed registered sale deed dated 06.06.1934 in favour of the defendant 2^nd set for the suit land and the defendant 1^st set purchased lands out of the said purchased land of the defendant 2^nd set.

¶10

Both the courts below have concurrently come to the finding that the case of acquisition of title on the basis of the gift deeds as pleaded by the plaintiff could not be established by cogent evidence. It has been further found that the defendant 2^nd set acquired valid title over the suit land on the basis of the purchase made by the predecessor through registered sale deed dated 06.06.1934 from the admitted title holder Hussainee Mian and his heirs. Deciding all the issues against the plaintiff, the suit was dismissed and thereafter the

¶13

appeal filed by the plaintiff has also been dismissed by the impugned judgment and decree.

¶14

Mr.Sushanta Kumar Das, learned counsel for the appellant has submitted that both the courts below have not properly considered the evidence on record and therefore the impugned judgments are vulnerable. No other submission has been made on behalf of the appellant.

¶15

After perusal of the judgments of both the courts

¶16

below and considering the submissions, it is evident that the discordant note between the parties is with regard to the acquisition of title over the suit land by the plaintiff on the basis of the chain of gift deeds as set up or the title of the defendants on the basis of purchase by registered sale deeds from the admitted title holder Hussainee Mian and his heirs. The findings on the crucial issues have been recorded by the courts below on the basis of scrutiny of evidence which are acceptable and could have been relied on. This Court has not been persuaded to find perversity in any manner or unreasonableness in the conclusions of both the courts below. The reappreciation of evidence, in such a circumstance, is not permissible in second appellate jurisdiction in order to upset the concurrent findings of fact.

¶17

Ex consequenti, this Court does not find any
