The target date for execution of the sale deed was 31.12.2012. The respondents/plaintiffs are stated to have appeared with balance consideration at the office of Sub-Registrar, Faridkot but the appellant/defendant did not turn up. The respondents/plaintiffs had also got their presence marked by getting the affidavit attested from the Executive Magistrate. The appellant/defendant without executing the sale deed had entered into an agreement to sell with another person and had sold the suit land to that person, namely, Kulwant Singh. The appellant/defendant had admitted in her cross-examination that she did not get her presence marked before the Sub-Registrar and had sold the land to DW-2 Kulwant Singh.
5. Consequently, I do not find any illegality in the judgments of the Courts below decreeing the suit for recovery filed by respondent/plaintiff and the appeal stands dismissed.
6. Pending application, if any, shall stand disposed of accordingly.
