                              ORAL JUDGMENT

(PER: THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SACHIN SHANKAR MAGADUM)

Captioned appeal is by the defendant Nos.4 and 5

assailing the judgment and decree dated 28.06.2022 passed in

O.S. No.45/2017 on the file of the Senior Civil Judge and JMFC,

Raibag [for brevity, 'the trial Court'].

2. For the sake of convenience, the parties are

referred to as per their rank before the trial Court.

3. Before we delve into the case on hand, we deem it

fit to cull out the family tree of plaintiffs which is as under:

Siddappa (propositus; grandfather)

Tangewwa (D6; grandmother, now deceased)

Rayappa (deceased; father of the plaintiffs)

Anand Shruti Santosh (Pltff.No.1) (Deft.No.7) (Pltff.No.2)

4. The plaintiff Nos.1 and 2 are sons of one

Sri.Rayappa. The plaintiffs herein have filed a suit seeking a

declaration that they are the absolute owners of the suit

schedule properties. They trace title over these properties

based on the compromise decree recorded in O.S.

NC: 2025:KHC-D:4602-DB

No.142/2010. Under the said compromise decree, plaintiffs

assert that suit land is allotted to the plaintiffs' share.

5. Defendant Nos.4 and 5 dispute the plaintiffs' title

and, instead, assert ownership based on a registered sale deed

executed by defendant No.5, who acted as the General Power

of Attorney (GPA) for defendant No.6. According to defendant

Nos.4 and 5, defendant No.6 was the absolute owner of the suit

lands bearing Nos. 46/1B and 53/A and had lawfully executed a

GPA in favor of defendant No.5, authorizing the sale of the

property. They argue that, since their title is derived from a

registered sale deed, these lands could not have been included

in the compromise petition. Additionally, they contend that the

compromise decree was never implemented, demonstrating a

clear intent on the part of the plaintiffs, defendant Nos.6 and 7,

and the deceased Sri Rayappa. Furthermore, they assert that

the decree passed in O.S. No.142/2010 is null and void.

6. In support of their respective claims, both the

plaintiffs and defendant No.4 have presented oral and

documentary evidence. The plaintiffs examined one of the

plaintiffs as PW1 and submitted nine documents, marked as

NC: 2025:KHC-D:4602-DB

Exs.P1 to P9. Defendant No.4, in turn, testified as DW1 and

introduced an additional witness as DW2, producing ten

documents, marked as Exs.D1 to D10. The trial Court, after

considering the compromise decree recorded in O.S.

No.142/2010 on 13.12.2010, rejected the assertions of

defendant Nos.4 and 5. The Court held that, unless defendant

Nos.4 and 5 formally challenge the compromise decree, they

lack the legal standing to dispute the plaintiffs' title to the suit

lands as per the terms of the compromise in O.S. No.142/2010.

Aggrieved by this judgment and decree, defendant Nos.4 and 5

have now challenged the decision.

7. We have heard the arguments of the learned

counsel representing defendant Nos.4 and 5 as well as the

learned counsel for the plaintiffs. After carefully considering the

pleadings of both parties, we have also conducted an

independent assessment of the oral and documentary evidence

presented. The key issue that arises for our consideration is as

follows:

"Whether the finding of the trial Court while answering issue No.1 in the affirmative that the plaintiffs have succeeded in proving the title and

NC: 2025:KHC-D:4602-DB

lawful possession of the suit schedule property is perverse and palpably erroneous."

8. Before proceeding with an analysis of the present

case, it is essential to consider the pleadings in the written

statement, particularly paragraph 4. Notably, the defendants

have acknowledged their awareness of the compromise decree

recorded in O.S. No.142/2010. Given the significance of this

admission, we find it necessary to take cognizance of the

pleadings in paragraph 4, which is reproduced below:

"4) The allegations made in par no.2 of the plaint regarding O.S. No.142/2010, the filing of the compromise petition and the passing of the decree in Lok Adalat appears to be correct on the basis of the copy of the decree and compromise petition produced by the plaintiffs. This defendant submits he had no knowledge of the said decree until he received the summons of this suit and only after going through the copy of the decree produced by the plaintiffs he has come to know of the same.

This defendant submits that the compromise entered into in O.S. No 142/2010 is not legal and valid and it is a collusive in nature and the decree passed on the basis of the said compromise is illegal and null and void and it is got by the present

NC: 2025:KHC-D:4602-DB

plaintiffs, defendant 6 and 7 and deceased Rayappa by playing fraud on the court and suppressing the true facts."

9. We are also inclined to take cognizance of the

cross-examination of defendant No.4, who is examined as

D.W.1. The same is extracted, which reads as under:

10. In the light of the stand taken by defendant Nos.4

and 5 in paragraph 4 of the written statement, it is clearly

evident that defendant Nos.4 and 5 were clearly aware of the

pendency of the suit in O.S. No.142/2010. The suit instituted in

O.S. No.142/2010 ended in a compromise and accordingly,

compromise decree was drawn on 13.12.2010. In view of the

compromise decree, the suit lands are allotted to the plaintiffs.

11. Defendant Nos.4 and 5 claim ownership of the suit

lands through a sale deed dated 01.12.2011, which was

executed by defendant No.5 in his capacity as the General

NC: 2025:KHC-D:4602-DB

Power of Attorney (GPA) of defendant No.6. However, the

validity of this transaction is in serious question, as the

compromise decree in O.S. No.142/2010 was already passed

on 13.12.2010. At the time of the sale deed execution, an

injunction was in force, restricting any alienation of the suit

lands. Despite this legal restraint, defendant No.5, acting under

the GPA executed by defendant No.6, proceeded with the sale

of the property after the compromise had been recorded and

the decree had been drawn. The crucial legal issue that arises

is whether defendant No.5, as a mere agent under a GPA, could

convey a valid title when defendant No.6 had already lost her

ownership rights under the compromise decree.

12. It is well settled in law that a person can only

transfer ownership of a property if they possess a valid title at

the time of execution. In the present case, by virtue of the

compromise decree in O.S. No.142/2010, the suit lands had

already been allotted to the plaintiffs as early as December

2010. Consequently, defendant No.6 no longer had any

saleable interest in the property as of 01.12.2011, the date of

the impugned sale deed. Since defendant No.6 had already

divested her rights in favor of the plaintiffs through the

- 10 -

NC: 2025:KHC-D:4602-DB

compromise decree, the GPA executed by her in favour of

defendant No.5 became ineffective for purposes of transferring

title. As an agent, defendant No.5 could not have conveyed a

better title than what his principal, defendant No.6, possessed.

Since defendant No.6 had no title to transfer after the

compromise decree, the subsequent sale made by defendant

No.5 on 01.12.2011 is legally inconsequential. In terms of

Section 7 of the Transfer of Property Act, a person must have

ownership and the legal right to transfer property both of which

were absent in the case of defendant No.6 at the time of the

sale. Consequently, the sale deed executed by defendant No.5

based on the GPA did not, and could not, confer any valid title

upon defendant Nos.4 and 5.

13. Defendant Nos.4 and 5 have also attempted to

challenge the validity of the compromise decree recorded in

O.S. No.142/2010 by claiming that it is null and void. However,

such a contention cannot be accepted in light of the legal

position explained above. As on the date of the sale deed,

defendant No.6 had already lost any saleable interest in the

property due to the compromise decree. Further, once the

principal (defendant No.6) had lost ownership, the agent

- 11 -

NC: 2025:KHC-D:4602-DB

(defendant No.5) automatically lost the authority to act on her

behalf in matters of alienation. The law is clear that an agent's

authority cannot extend beyond the rights of the principal.

Hence, defendant No.5 had no legal competence to execute a

valid sale deed in favor of defendant Nos.4 and 5.

14. Additionally, defendant Nos.4 and 5 have attempted

to rely on the dismissal of O.S. No.678/2012, a suit filed by the

plaintiffs seeking a declaration that the sale deed dated

01.12.2011 was not binding on them. They argue that since

this suit was dismissed for non-prosecution, the plaintiffs were

precluded from maintaining the present suit. However, this

argument lacks merit. Significantly, there are no specific

pleadings in the written statement to substantiate how the

dismissal of O.S. No.678/2012 would bar the plaintiffs' present

claim. Furthermore, upon examination of the documents

produced, particularly the order sheet in O.S. No.678/2012 and

a copy of the plaint (marked as Exs.D-9 and D-10), it is evident

that the earlier suit was filed when the plaintiffs were minors.

The suit was initiated through their guardian, defendant No.6,

and was later dismissed for non-prosecution. Importantly, the

present suit has been instituted by the plaintiffs after attaining

- 12 -

NC: 2025:KHC-D:4602-DB

the age of majority, thereby entitling them to seek an

independent adjudication of their title, unaffected by the

dismissal of the earlier suit.

15. Although defendant Nos.4 and 5 have produced

documents related to O.S. No.678/2012 as Exs.D-9 and D-10,

these documents do not contain any material to establish that

the plaintiffs are legally barred from asserting their rights in the

present proceedings. There are no specific averments in the

written statement that demonstrate how the plaintiffs' claim is

extinguished solely due to the dismissal of the earlier suit. In

the absence of any cogent legal basis, the reliance placed by

defendant Nos.4 and 5 on the dismissal of O.S. No.678/2012 is

wholly misplaced.

16. Given that the sale deed executed by defendant

No.5 on 01.12.2011 is subsequent to the compromise decree

recorded in O.S. No.142/2010, it holds no legal sanctity. Even if

defendant Nos.4 and 5 claim to have purchased the property

through defendant No.5, they have failed to establish how they

acquired a valid title over the suit lands. The trial Court was,

therefore, justified in holding that the plaintiffs are the absolute

- 13 -

NC: 2025:KHC-D:4602-DB

owners by recognizing the effect of the compromise decree

recorded in O.S. No.142/2010. The judgment and decree of the

trial Court correctly declare the plaintiffs as the rightful owners,

in accordance with both law and factual circumstances.

Moreover, defendant Nos.4 and 5 have unequivocally admitted

in their written statement, as well as in cross-examination, that

the suit lands were allotted to the plaintiffs (who were minors

at the time) under the terms of the compromise decree. In

view of this clear admission and the established legal position,

defendant Nos.4 and 5 cannot claim any valid right or title over

the suit lands based on a sale deed that was executed after the

compromise decree had already taken effect.

17. The judgments cited by the learned counsel for

defendant Nos.4 and 5 are not applicable to the case on hand.

18. The appeal is devoid of merits and is liable to be

dismissed. Accordingly, we answer the above point in the

negative and proceed to pass the following;

ORDER

The appeal is dismissed.

- 14 -

NC: 2025:KHC-D:4602-DB

No order as to the costs.

In view dismissal of the appeal, pending I.As., if any, do
