2. From perusal of record, it transpires that dispute between parties is in relation to front portion of Plot No.52 measuring 70.66 square yards situated at Jalupura Scheme, Jaipur. The plot was allotted by the then UIT (Urban Development Trust) in the name of plaintiff No.1-Hasam Khan. The plaintiff No.2 claimed that plaintiff No.1- Hasam Khan transferred this portion to her by way of registered gift deed dated 09.09.1996. During pendency of trial, plaintiff No.1-Hasam Khan had passed away and plaintiff No.2 continued the civil suit. Plaintiffs filed a civil suit for permanent injunction, stating that defendant No.1 (appellant herein) is tenant in the first floor and defendant No.2, 3 and 4 are tenants in the shops at ground floor. In counter, defendant No.1-appellant submitted his written statement alleging inter alia that he had an agreement to sale dated 27.08.1996 from plaintiff No.1 for the whole portion including first floor and shops at ground floor and he denied his status/possession on the first floor as tenant. Appelllant-defendant No.1 also contended that defendant Nos.2, 3 and 4 are his tenants. The trial Court on the basis of rival (Downloaded on 29/04/2022 at 08:46:09 PM) (3 of 5) [CSA-140/2008] submissions proceeded with the trial of suit and finally passed a decree for permanent injunction against appellant-defendant No.1 in the manner as mentioned hereinabove. The first appeal there against has been dismissed.
3. During course of arguments, counsel for appellant submits that defendant No.1 filed a civil suit for specific performance on the basis of his agreement to sale dated 27.08.1996, although, the civil suit was dismissed by the trial Court. However, the first appeal No.146/2005 is pending before the High Court. Counsel for appellant submits that in case, appellant succeeds in first appeal and decree for specific performance is passed in his favour, the impugned decree for permanent injunction would become redundant, therefore, this second appeal be heard and decided with the pending Civil First Appeal No.146/2005.
4. Counsel for respondent No.1-plaintiff submits that it is not in dispute that suit property was allotted to plaintiff No.1. Plaintiff No.1, by way of registered gift deed dated 09.09.1996, has gifted the property to plaintiff No.2. Defendant No.1, earlier filed a civil suit challenging the gift deed of plaintiff No.2, however, that civil suit has been dismissed vide judgment dated 02.02.2005 passed by the Court of Additional District Judge (Fast Track) No.5, Jaipur City. Hence, the title of plaintiff No.2 (respondent No.1- Smt. Gulshan herein) has become absolute. He admits that civil suit for specific performance of contract, filed by appellant-defendant No.2, is being pursued by him against plaintiff No.2 in the pending first appeal No.146/2005, hence, appellant himself admits the title of suit property vested in name of respondent No.1.
5. Having heard counsel for both parties, it is clear that in the present second appeal, decree under question is only in relation to (Downloaded on 29/04/2022 at 08:46:09 PM) (4 of 5) [CSA-140/2008] permanent injunction. It has been informed that eviction suit filed by respondent No.1-plaintiff against appellant has already been dismissed vide judgment dated 11.09.2019. Since decree impugned is only to the effect of passing permanent injunction, which otherwise also do not adversely affect the rights of appellant to pursue his first appeal No.146/2005 in relation to civil suit for specific performance on merits, this Court finds that no substantial question of law arises out of impugned judgments. It may be observed that in case, appellant would succeed in the first appeal No.146/2005 and decree for specific performance is passed in his favour, the outcome/fate of decree for permanent injunction impugned herein would become redundant automatically but as on date there is no material available before this Court to interfere with the impugned decree.
6. The findings recorded by two Courts below are findings of fact and do not give rise to formulation of any substantial question of law. In absence of involvement of any substantial question of law, the second appeal cannot be entertained for exercising jurisdiction under Section 100 CPC. The substantial questions of law as proposed by appellant-plaintiff are essentially questions of fact, which requires reappreciation of evidence. Reappreciation of evidence is not permissible within the scope of Section 100 of CPC, unless and until there is some illegality or perversity in findings. None of the question of law, falls within purview of substantial question of law. In order to exercise the scope of Section 100 of CPC, involvement/formulation of substantial question of law is sine qua non. Otherwise also, it is a case of concurrent findings of facts, which even if erroneous, cannot be disturbed in exercise of powers under Section 100 CPC as has (Downloaded on 29/04/2022 at 08:46:09 PM) (5 of 5) [CSA-140/2008] been held in case of Kondiba Dagadu Kadam Vs. Savitribai Sopan Gujar [(1999) 3 SCC 722] and catena of other judgments passed in case of Pakeerappa Rai Vs. Seethamma Hengsu & Ors., [(2001) 9 SCC 521], Thulasidhara & Anr. Vs. Narayanappa & Ors., [(2019) 6 SCC 409], Bholaram Vs. Ameerchand, [(1981) 2 SCC 414], Ishwar Das Jain Vs. Sohan Lal, [(2000) 1 SCC 434] and State of Madhya Pradesh Vs. Sabal Singh & Ors., [(2019) 10 SCC 595]. Since no substantial questions of law are involved in present appeal thus, same is not liable to be entertained.
7. Accordingly, the second appeal is found to be devoid of merits and the same is hereby dismissed. There is no order as to costs.
8. Stay application and any other pending application(s), if any, also stand disposed of.
9. Record of the two Courts below be sent back forthwith.
