                                                  COMMON JUDGMENT


The above second appeals arises out of the common judgment and

decree dated 29.03.2019 passed in A.S. No.66 of 2010 and A.S. No.67 of

2010 on the file of the Additional District & Sessions Judge,

Kancheepuram, Chengalpattu, reversing the common judgment and

decree dated 03.08.2010 in O.S. No.104/2005 & O.S. No.174/2006 on

the file of the Additional Subordinate Judge, Chengalpattu.

2. One Kanniappan (respondent herein) filed a suit in

O.S.No.174/2006 for declaration of title and for permanent injunction

against Saraswathi Ammal and Kuppan (appellant herein) and the said

Saraswathi Ammal filed a suit in O.S. No.104/2005 against Kanniappan

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 22/09/2025 06:23:13 pm ) S.A.Nos.1145 and 1149 of 2019

seeking for cancellation of the settlement deed dated 30.12.2004 in

favour of the defendant therein and for permanent injunction restraining

him from interfering with her peaceful possession and enjoyment of the

suit property.

3. For the sake of convenience, the parties are referred to as per

their ranking in O.S. No.174/2006.

4. The case of the plaintiff (respondent herein) in O.S.174/2006 is

as follows:

4.1. The plaintiff is the absolute and exclusive owner of the suit

property. He got the same by way of a Registered settlement deed dt.

30.12.2004 executed by his mother Saraswathi Ammal. The Settlement is

true, valid and acted upon. Patta No.219 for the suit property stands in

the name of Saraswathi Ammal for the suit properties. The 2nd Defendant

is alleged to have purchased the suit property from the 1 st defendant and

made an attempt to interfere with the Plaintiff's peaceful possession and

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 22/09/2025 06:23:13 pm ) S.A.Nos.1145 and 1149 of 2019

enjoyment of the suit property. Hence the suit is for declaration of title

and for permanent injunction.

4.2. The 1st defendant resisted the claim of the plaintiff by stating

that there is no prayer against her, but she has been added as a party

without any reason. She further stated that she was the absolute and

exclusive owner of the suit properties. She purchased 0.67 cents of land

out of 5 acres 40 cents in S.No.54/1 under two Registered sale deeds

dated 5.3.1973 and 22.3.1973. After purchase, patta has been transferred

in her name and S.No.54/1 has been Sub Divided into 54/1B. 0.22.0

hect., and S.No.54/1D. 0.33.0. hect., After purchase she dug up a well

and also put up 3 H.P. Motor pump set in items 2 and 3 of the schedule

and obtained Service connection in her name. It is further stated that she

has been in possession and enjoyment of the said items from the date of

purchase. She further stated that she is 70 years old and an illiterate

women having less vision and is suffering from paralytic attack and

staying with her daughter Sinthamany at Guduvancheri. During the 3rd

week of December 2004, the plaintiff took her to his house in Chennai

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 22/09/2025 06:23:13 pm ) S.A.Nos.1145 and 1149 of 2019

for giving treatment for her ailments. During her stay at Chennai the

plaintiff fraudulently created a document styled as Settlement deed

without her knowledge. She does not know the contents of the

document, and the same was not explained to her. According to her it is

a sham, nominal and fraudulent document. The plaintiff refused to sign

the document. But the plaintiff affixed her Left Thumb Impression

without her consent. The alleged settlement deed did not see the light of

the day. It was not accepted and acted upon. On 27.1.2005 with great

difficulty and with the help of her son-in-law she went to Sub Registrar

Office, Thirukkalukkundram and cancelled the settlement deed alleged to

have been obtained on 30.12.2004 in a fraudulent manner. After

cancellation, she executed a registered power deed on 03.02.2005 in

favour of her son-in-law, namely T. Jothi. The said Power agent has sold

the suit property to the 2nd defendant and now the 2nd defendant is in

possession. Thereafter, the respondent/plaintiff issued a notice on

7.2.2005, for which she replied on 11.2.2005. Hence prayed for

dismissal of the suit with costs.

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 22/09/2025 06:23:13 pm ) S.A.Nos.1145 and 1149 of 2019

5. The 2nd defendant resisted the claim of the plaintiff by stating

that the 1st defendant has given a power of attorney to one P.Jothi son of

Purushothaman Naicker under Registered Power of attorney deed dated

3.2.2005. The said power agent has sold the suit property to him and now

he is in possession of the suit property. To avoid technical flaw, the 1 st

defendant has also filed a suit OS No.104/05 on the file of Additional

Sub Court, Chengalpattu for cancellation of the settlement deed obtained

by the plaintiff on 30/12/2004 registered under document No.4228/2004

SRO Thirukkalukundram. From the date of purchase, the 2nd defendant

alone is in possession and enjoyment of the suit property. The alleged

settlement deed in favour of the plaintiff has been duly cancelled by the

1st defendant. In fact the possession is always with the 1st defendant.

Hence the alleged settlement deed is not accepted and acted upon. In any

event, he is a bonafide purchaser for value and his right has to be

protected and prayed for dismissal of the suit.

6. Saraswathi Ammal, the 1st defendant in O.S.174/2006 filed a

suit in O.S. No.104/2005 against Kanniappan, the plaintiff in O.S.

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 22/09/2025 06:23:13 pm ) S.A.Nos.1145 and 1149 of 2019

No.176/2006, seeking for cancellation of the settlement deed dated

30.12.2004 executed in his favour and for permanent injunction

restraining him from interfering with her peaceful possession and

enjoyment of the suit property by taking the same plea as found in the

written statement filed by her in O.S. No.174 of 2006. The defendant in

the said suit had taken the same plea as found in the plaint in O.S.

No.174 of 2006.

7. The trial court, vide its judgment and decree dated 03.08.2010,

decreed the suit in O.S. No.104/2005 and dismissed the suit in O.S.

No.174/2006. Aggrieved by this, Kanniappan filed A.S. Nos.66 and 67

of 2010 before the Additional District & Sessions Judge, Kancheepuram,

Chengalpattu. During the pendency of the appeal suits Saraswathi

Ammal died. The first appellate court, vide its common judgment and

decree dated 29.03.2019, reversed the findings of the trial court and

allowed the appeals. Aggrieved by this Kuppan (2nd defendant in O.S.

No.174/2006) preferred the present second appeals.

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 22/09/2025 06:23:13 pm ) S.A.Nos.1145 and 1149 of 2019

8. The Second Appeal No.1145 of 2019 has been admitted on the

following substantial questions of law:

"a) Whether the judgment and decree of the lower

appellate Court in granting the relief of declaration and

permanent injunction sought for by the 1st respondent

herein are based upon perverse findings and conclusions

and misdirected against the evidence on record and also

against the principle of law pertaining to the facts of the

case?

b) Whether the lower Appellate Court is correct in

holding that the settlement deed is valid when late

Saraswathi Ammal and the appellant herein have clearly

proved that the settlement deed was never accepted and

acted upon by the settlee as per Section 123 of the Transfer

of Property Act?"

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 22/09/2025 06:23:13 pm ) S.A.Nos.1145 and 1149 of 2019

9. The Second Appeal No.1149 of 2019 has been admitted on the

following substantial questions of law:

"a) Whether the judgment and decree of the lower

Appellate Court in not granting the relief of cancellation of

settlement deed and permanent injunction sought for by the

late Saraswathi Ammal are based upon perverse findings

and conclusions and misdirected against the evidence on

record and also against the principle of law pertaining to

the facts of the case?

b) Whether the lower Appellate Court is correct in

holding that the settlement deed is valid when late

Saraswathi Ammal and the appellant herein have clearly

proved that the settlement deed was never accepted and

acted upon by the settle as per Section 123 of the Transfer

of Property Act?"

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 22/09/2025 06:23:13 pm ) S.A.Nos.1145 and 1149 of 2019

10. The learned counsel for the appellant submits that the

settlement deed executed on 30.12.2004 by the late Saraswathi Ammal in

favour of the respondent was an out come of mis-representation and

fraud played by the respondent. The said settlement deed was never

accepted and acted upon by the settlee as per Section 123 of the Transfer

of Property Act, 1882. The cancellation deed dated 27.01.2005 was

never challenged before the trial court. While so, the first appellate court

ought not to have reversed the judgment of the trial court by relying upon

an untenable contention that the reason stated in the cancellation deed is

not admissible. Her further contention is that none of the attesting

witnesses to the settlement deed were examined before the trial court by

the respondent as required under Section 68 of the Indian Evidence Act.

The trial court has rightly held that when the execution of the settlement

deed was subsequently denied by late Saraswathi Ammal, it is mandatory

for the respondent to examine atleast one attesting witness to prove the

validity and genuineness of the settlement deed, which the respondent

has miserably failed to do so. Her further contention is that the

respondent neglected his parents and therefore there is no necessity for

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 22/09/2025 06:23:13 pm ) S.A.Nos.1145 and 1149 of 2019

Saraswathi Ammal to execute the settlement deed in favour of the

respondent. In fact, the respondent who filed the suit in O.S.No.24/2005

on the file of the Munsif Court, Thirukazhukundram, has intentionally

not whispered about the cancellation deed executed by Saraswathi

Ammal. The possession of the property was only with Saraswathi

Ammal till her demise and all the revenue records stood in the name of

Saraswathi Ammal till her death would establish the fact that the alleged

settlement deed executed in favour of the respondent was not accepted

and acted upon. Since the said Saraswathi Ammal was an aged and

illiterate woman severely affected by paralytic attack, she was mis-

represented and dragged on to the office of Sub Registrar by the

respondent for the purpose of executing settlement deed without

explaining the contents of the documents. The first appellate court ought

to have considered all the above facts and should have held that the

execution of the settlement deed is unenforceable in law. While so, the

first appellate court erroneously shifted the burden on Saraswathi Ammal

to prove the execution of the document whereas the burden of proof is

only on the party who claims title on the strength of the document.

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 22/09/2025 06:23:13 pm ) S.A.Nos.1145 and 1149 of 2019

10.1. The learned counsel for the appellant/2nd defendant in O.S.

No.174/2006 submits that, when the validity of the settlement deed itself

is challenged on the ground of fraud and coercion and in the absence of

establishment of the validity of settlement deed, the question of validity

of cancellation will not arise for consideration. Only after proving the

validity of the settlement deed and if it is found to be valid, only then the

question of validity of cancellation have to be considered. She would

further contend that a person claiming title under the settlement deed,

must prove the attestation as per Section 68 of the Indian Evidence Act.

In the present case, the settlement deed has not been proved as required

under the law. She would further submit that in the event of neglecting

the senior citizen, the deed of settlement or gift is liable to be annulled.

To support her contention, she relied on the following judgments:

i. P. Sivabushanam and ors vs. E. Sivamani and ors reported in

MANU/TN/2337/2012

ii. C. Velu and two ors vs. P. Subramanian reported in 2009 (6)

CTC 78.

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 22/09/2025 06:23:13 pm ) S.A.Nos.1145 and 1149 of 2019

iii. S. Mala vs. District Arbitrtor & District Collector, Nagapattinam

and ors reported in MANU/TN/1339/2025

Hence, he prayed to set aside the judgment and decree passed by the first

appellate court.

11. On the other hand, the learned counsel for the respondent

would submit that the mother of the respondent Saraswathi Ammal

purchased the property under two registered sale deeds dated 05.03.1973

and 22.03.1973 marked as Ex.A1 and Ex.A2. She then executed a

settlement deed under Ex.A3 dated 30.12.2004 in favour of her son, the

respondent herein, the property measuring 1 acre 43 cents in S.Nos

54/1B and 54/1D respectively. Thereafter on 27.01.2005 she executed a

deed of cancellation within one month from the date of execution of the

above settlement deed on 30.12.2004 unilaterally without the consent of

the respondent herein. No recital pertaining to illiteracy, poor eye sight,

fraud and coercion thereon was found in the cancellation deed, but, it is

only mentioned that the same was cancelled for want of money. She then

executed a Power of Attorney on 03.02.2005 in favour of his son-in-law,

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 22/09/2025 06:23:13 pm ) S.A.Nos.1145 and 1149 of 2019

namely P. Jothi, and registered the same. The said General Power of

Attorney was not marked as exhibit in the above suits.

11.1. It is further contended that, on 07.02.2005, under Ex.B6

Saraswathi Ammal issued a legal notice subsequent to execution of

general power of attorney informing that the settlement deed has been

cancelled. Even in the said notice, nothing is whispered about fraud,

coercion, forceable obtainment of thumb impression by the respondent,

but execution of settlement deed in favour of the respondent was

admitted therein. The respondent replied under Ex.B7 reply notice

stating that the settlement deed is acted upon and he is in possession of

the property. Thereafter, the power of attorney of Saraswathi Ammal

executed a registered sale deed on 18.02.2005 in favour of Kuppan, the

appellant herein who is the adjacent land owner, by suppressing the facts

of issuance of notice and reply notice by the respondent herein, which is

prior to the date of sale deed. The alleged sale transaction has been done

with ulterior motive. On 25.04.2005, the said Saraswathi Ammal issued

another legal notice under Ex.A5 to the respondent subsequent to the

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 22/09/2025 06:23:13 pm ) S.A.Nos.1145 and 1149 of 2019

filing of the suit in O.S. No.24/2005 on the file of the District Munsif,

Thirukazhukundram by the respondent herein. Only in the said notice all

the fraudulent allegations were made against the respondent which is

total contra to her earlier notice and cancellation deed. The above

allegations were not substantiated either by oral or documentary evidence

before the trial court. The respondent has filed a suit in O.S. No.24/2005

which was transferred and renumbered as O.S. No.174 /2006 on the file

of the Sub Court, Chengalpattu against Saraswathi Ammal and the

present appellant/2nd defendant for declaration of respondent's title and

for permanent injunction. Even in the settlement deed, Saraswathi

Ammal has stated that possession has been handed over to the respondent

on the date of execution of the settlement deed itself. She had also

handed over all the original title deed to the respondent/plaintiff.

However, within one month, at the instigation of her daughter, she had

executed the cancellation deed which exposes ulterior motive.

11.2. Subsequent to the cancellation of settlement deed

unilaterally, Sarraswathi Ammal filed a suit in O.S. No.104/2005 before

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 22/09/2025 06:23:13 pm ) S.A.Nos.1145 and 1149 of 2019

the Sub Court, Chengalpattu, for the relief of cancellation of settlement

deed executed by her in favour of the respondent and for permanent

injunction not to interfere in the possession . However, prior to filing of

the suit, she had executed cancellation deed and her power of attorney

has executed a sale deed in favour of the appellant herein, which implies

that the said Saraswathi Ammal ceased to be owner of the property and

that she has no locus standi to file the suit as the owner of the property.

Suppressing the material fact about the issuance of earlier notice dated

07.02.2005 and the reply notice dated 11.02.2005 by the respondent

herein nor about the execution of power of attorney and the sale deed in

favour of the appellant, the above suit was filed and moreover, the said

Saraswathi Ammal failed to include the aforesaid documents in the above

suit. The appellant herein is not a party to the above suit in O.S.

No.104/2005. The suits in O.S. Nos.104/2005 and 174/2006 were tried

jointly. In the cross examination the said Saraswathi Ammal admitted

that she is not aware of execution of General Power of Attorney in favour

of his son-in-law nor about the subsequent sale deed in favour of the

appellant herein and she had also admitted that she has neither given any

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 22/09/2025 06:23:13 pm ) S.A.Nos.1145 and 1149 of 2019

police complaint about the fraud and theft nor about the theft of

documents against the respondent. She further deposed that she was not

aware of the contents of the cancellation deed nor she had knowledge

about who had instructed for the drafting of cancellation deed and that

she has not instructed anybody to sell the property. Further she had also

deposed that she was not aware of the advocate who had drafted the

cancellation deed. After full fledged trial, the suit in O.S. No.174/2006

filed by the respondent herein was dismissed and the suit in O.S.

No.104/2005 was decreed. In the circumstances, the respondent

Kanniappan preferred the appeal suits in A.S. No.66/2010 and 67/2010

on the file of the Additional District and Sessions Judge, Kancheepuram,

Chengalpattu. During the pendency of the first appeal, the said

Saraswathi Ammal died on 06.02.2011. Since she had already

transferred the property she had no right or claim over the property.

Hence, her legal heirs were not impleaded. However, the alleged

purchaser Kuppan, the appellant herein, was impleaded as party to the

proceedings. The first appellate court reversed the judgment and decree

dated 03.08.2010 in O.S. No.104/2005 & O.S. No.174/2006 on the file of

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 22/09/2025 06:23:13 pm ) S.A.Nos.1145 and 1149 of 2019

the Additional Subordinate Judge, Chengalpattu, against which the

present second appeals have been preferred by Kuppan, the 2 nd

defendant in O.S. No.174/2006, before this Court.

11.3. It is further submitted that the appellant herein has no locus

standi to claim any right in the suit filed by Saraswathi Ammal, who was

not having any right or interest over the property at the time of filing of

the suit. It is further contended that till date no declaration suit has been

filed by the appellant herein. Therefore, the appellant has no locus

standi to prosecute the appeals.

11.4. Thus the learned counsel for the respondent submits that, the

unilateral cancellation of settlement deed is impermissible in law and that

after transfer of title in favour of the plaintiff in O.S. No.174/2006, the

settlor, the mother of the plaintiff, who is the 1st defendant in the above

suit and plaintiff in O.S.No.104/2005 has no right to cancel the

settlement deed executed in the absence of any specific covenant in the

deed of settlement. He would further contend that in the case of

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 22/09/2025 06:23:13 pm ) S.A.Nos.1145 and 1149 of 2019

allegation of fraud and mis-representation, the burden lies upon the 1st

defendant, the mother of the plaintiff to prove which she has failed to do

so. To support his contention he relied on the following decisions.

i. M/s. Latif Estate Line India Ltd. vs. Mrs. HadeejaAmmal

reported in AIR 2011 MADRAS 66.

ii. Order of this court dated 10.10.2018 in W.P. No.27342 of 2016

(N. Vijaya Baskar vs. A. Gokul Anand and 5 others).

iii. Daya Ram vs. Smt. Lakshmina & ors reported in 2008 SCC

Online All 170.

Besides that, there is no question of law in the present second appeals

much less substantial questions of law. Hence, prayed for dismissal of

the second appeals.

12. Heard on both sides.

13. It is not in dispute that the respondent herein filed a suit in

O.S.No.174/2006 before the Sub Court, Kancheepuram, Chengalpattu

against his mother Saraswathi Ammal and Kuppan (appellant herein) for

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 22/09/2025 06:23:13 pm ) S.A.Nos.1145 and 1149 of 2019

declaration of his title and for permanent injunction. It is also not in

dispute that the said Saraswathi Ammal filed a suit in O.S. No.104/2005

before the same court against the respondent herein for the relief of

cancellation of settlement deed and for permanent injunction not to

interfere with her possession. The trial court after full fledged trial

dismissed the suit filed by the respondent herein in O.S. No.174/2006

and decreed the suit filed by Saraswathi Ammal in O.S. No.104/2005.

On perusal of records, it is seen that, even prior to the filing of suit by

Saraswathi Ammal in O.S. No.104/2005 she had executed a settlement

deed, cancellation deed and a sale deed in favour of Kuppan, the

appellant herein, through her power agent. While so, the said Saraswathi

Ammal had no locus standi to file the suit when she ceased to be the

owner of the property. Moreover, on a bare perusal of the plaint filed in

O.S. No.104/2005, it is seen that she has suppressed the earlier notice

dated 07.02.2005 sent to the respondent herein and a reply notice dated

11.02.2005 sent by the respondent. Moreover, execution of general

power of attorney or sale deed in favour of Kuppan was also not stated

by her in the said plaint. The first appellate court rightly dismissed the

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 22/09/2025 06:23:13 pm ) S.A.Nos.1145 and 1149 of 2019

suit filed by Saraswathi Ammal. Moreover, the said Saraswathi Ammal,

neither in the cancellation deed nor in her legal notice dated 07.02.2005,

whispered about the alleged coercion and threat by the respondent herein.

In the cancellation deed, it is only mentioned that she has cancelled the

settlement deed executed in favour of her son for want of money. Since

the factum of fraud, coercion and the factum of neglecting the mother

was not established by the defendants in O.S. No.174/2006, the

judgments relied upon by the learned counsel for the appellant is not

applicable in the present case. As rightly pointed out by the learned

counsel for the respondent/plaintiff in O.S. No.174/2006, after

transferring the title in favour the respondent and in the absence of any

specific covenant in the settlement deed , the settlor has no right to

unilaterally cancel the settlement deed in favour of the

respondent/plaintiff. Morevoer, the allegation of fraud and coercion was

also not established by the appellant/2nd defendant.

14. The first appellate court, based on the records and materials

placed before it and by analyzing the oral and documentary evidence, has

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 22/09/2025 06:23:13 pm ) S.A.Nos.1145 and 1149 of 2019

rightly concluded that the unilateral cancellation of the settlement deed

by Saraswathi Ammal, is against the well settled law. Considering the

fact that the respondent alone is in possession of the suit property, the

first appellate court has rightly held that the settlement deed was

accepted and acted upon by the settllee as per section 123 of Transfer of

property Act and accordingly granted the relief of declaration and

permanent injunction as sought for by the respondent herein and rightly

dismissed the suit filed by Saraswathi Ammal for the relief of

cancellation of settlement deed and permanent injunction by holding that

she has no locus standi to file the above suit since she ceased to be the

owner of the property. No infirmity or perversity is found in the said

finding of the first appellate court, which warrants any interference by

this Court. Moreover, the questions of law framed in the second appeals

are more of factual aspects and no question of law arises much less

substantial question of law to be determined in the present second

appeals.

15. In the result,

i. The Second Appeals are dismissed. No costs.

ii. The Common judgment and decree dated 29.03.2019 passed in

A.S. No.66 of 2010 and A.S. No.67 of 2010 on the file of the
