he has purchased a shop from the defendant under a registered
sale deed by paying a valid sale consideration. Subsequently, the
municipal authorities have demolished the shop on the ground
that it has no sanction order. Aggrieved by the same, the suit is
initiated against the defendant for recovery of the sale
consideration with interest.
3. Upon consideration of the matter on merits, the suit is
decreed for a sum of Rs.3,76,050/- with subsequent interest @ 6%

Aggrieved by the same, the defendant preferred first appeal in
A.S.No.101 of 2009 on the file of the learned IV Additional District
Judge, Visakhapatnam. The lower appellate court on
consideration of the matter referring to the judgments cited
before it came to a conclusion that it is a fit case for the plaintiff
to seek for cancellation of the said sale deed basing upon which
he also sought for recovery of money.
4. Accordingly the first appeal was allowed setting aside the
judgment and decree passed by the II Additional Senior Civil
Judge, Visakhapatnam, dated 13.02.2009. Assailing the same, the
plaintiff preferred this second appeal No.109 of 2015 before this
Court. As observed, it is in the nature of reversing judgment and
the appellant herein agrees to seek a comprehensive relief before
the trial court afresh if an opportunity is given by filing an
appropriate application before the trial court.
5. Accepting the contention of the learned counsel for the
appellant herein as just prayer, the judgments and decrees of the
courts below are set aside herewith remanding the matter to the
trial court for consideration of the suit afresh by giving an
opportunity to the plaintiff for filing an amendment application
and the trial court is directed to give an opportunity to both the
parties on considering the said application and upon hearing of
the suit appropriate orders can be passed by a judgment and
decree in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible
preferably within four (4) months from the date of receipt of a
copy of this order.
