THIS APPEAL COMING ON FOR ADMISSION THIS DAY,
THE COURT DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
JUDGMENT
This matter is listed for admission.
I have heard the learned counsel appearing for the
appellant.
2. The main contention of the appellant's counsel that
Exs.P3 and P4 are created and signature is forged and both the
Courts have committed an error in accepting the documents
Exs.P3 and P4 and notice of termination and postal
acknowledgement and appellant's counsel also framed the
substantive question of law contending that suit is not
maintainable in law in the absence of issuance of statutory
notice as required under Section 106 of Transfer of Property Act
and both the Courts below are not justified in giving finding on
issue Nos.1 and 2 as affirmative without considering the wrong
address on Ex.P3 and forged signature on Ex.P4 and judgment
NC: 2023:KHC:26843 RSA No. 904 of 2023
and decree of both the Courts are not sustainable and
concurrent finding is erroneous and notice issued has not been
served to the defendant and the same is not sufficient to
dismiss the suit.
3. Having heard the appellant's counsel and also on
perusal of the material available on record, particularly the
judgment and decree of the Trial Court, the appellant has not
led any evidence before the Court, even not cross-examine
PW1 in spite of the written statement is filed before the Court
and with regard to the issuance of notice in paragraph No.25 of
the judgment of the Trial Court, it is specifically mentioned that
notice was issued and the same was duly served on the
defendant and admittedly by paying two months arrears of rent
to the second plaintiff, the defendant himself admitted that
there is a relationship of landlord and tenant between the
plaintiff and defendant and also in paragraph No.26 of the Trial
Court judgment, the Trial Court held that no reasons need to be
assigned for termination of lease under Section 106 of the
Transfer of Property Act and the same is settled law and also in
case of termination of lease under Section 106 of the Transfer
of Property Act, no reasons need to be assigned and the same
NC: 2023:KHC:26843 RSA No. 904 of 2023
is valid termination and even not cross examined PW1 and also
not led any evidence to rebut the evidence of the plaintiff and
hence the evidence given by PW1 and documents produced by
the plaintiff are remained unchallenged.
4. The counsel for the appellant would submit that no
opportunity was given to cross examine PW1 and on perusal of
order of the Trial Court it is very clear that when the case was
set down for cross examination, he did not choose to cross-
examine the witness PW1 even though written statement was
filed and the same is considered in paragraph No.26 of the Trial
Court judgment and when the defendant took the defence that
an amount of Rs.8,00,000/- was given as security deposit, in
order to prove the same, not cross examined the witness and
even not led any evidence and his defence remains as defence
in the written statement and no material is placed before the
Trial Court and the First Appellate Court also on consideration
of oral and documentary evidence available before the Court,
even finding on re-appreciation of evidence taken note of
issuance of notice in paragraph No.44 of the order of the
Appellate Court and in paragraph No.48 also given a concurrent
finding that notice was issued and tenancy was terminated and
NC: 2023:KHC:26843 RSA No. 904 of 2023
hence defendant is not entitled for any relief and also in
paragraph No.49 the Appellate Court taken note of the fact that
even the defendant has not come forward to rectify the
mistakes occurred before the Trial Court and the appellant
continued the very same attitude and the judgment of this
Court reported in ILR 2004 KAR 2864 considered in
paragraph No.50 and in paragraph No.51 categorically the
Appellate Court held that defendant has completely fail to
produce any such document before the Court of law and show
that suit premises is necessary for its business usage without
complying the terms and conditions. The defendant is also
directed to pay arrears of rent by vacating the premises and in
the absence of any documentary evidence and first of all
evidence of PW1 is not rebutted by cross-examining the
witness and also not produced any document to substantiate
his case and even not led any evidence and defence which was
taken by the defendant remains as defence and suit was also
filed in the year 2018 and disposed of on 22.4.2021, after three
years and hence I do not find any error committed by both the
Courts, since there is no material on behalf of the appellant
herein to consider the same and there is no substantive
NC: 2023:KHC:26843 RSA No. 904 of 2023
question of law to frame the same and the counsel would
vehemently contend that there is no proper service of notice
and the same also cannot be considered unless the evidence
has been led before the Trial Court to substantiate his
contention, first of all he has not cross-examined PW1 and also
not produced any document and also not rebutted the evidence
of PW1 before the Trial Court and hence, I do not find any
substantive question of law to frame the same to consider the
matter in a second appeal in the absence of any material on
record.
Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
Consequently, IA No.1/2023 filed before this Court is also
dismissed.
