S.B. Civil First Appeal No. 209/2016
Nemi Chand and Others
----Appellants

Dinesh and Others
----Respondents
For Appellant(s) : Mr. Manoj Bhardwaj, Advocate For Respondent(s) : Mr. Ashok Sharma, Advocate
HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE PRAKASH GUPTA
Order
16/12/2021
Matter comes up on an application under Section 151
CPC for passing appropriate order on the stay application.
Learned counsel for the appellants-defendants (for
short, 'the defendants') submits that the defendants filed the
aforesaid appeal challenging the judgment and decree dated
29.2.2016 passed by the trial court. Alongwith the appeal, stay
application was also filed. The appeal and the stay application are
pending since the year 2016, but till date no effective order has
been passed. Now the execution proceedings have been
commenced, therefore, appropriate order is required to be passed
on the stay application.
He further submits that the defendants were not the
party in the agreement dated 10.7.1986, therefore no decree for
specific performance of the agreement could have been passed
against them and for this reason, the same is not executable
against them. The respondents-plaintiffs (for short, 'the plaintiffs')
wrongly claimed the decree of specific performance against them.
(2 of 4) [CFA-209/2016]
He further submits that the defendants are in possession of the
suit property, hence operation and / execution of the impugned
judgment and decree is required to be stayed.
On the other hand, learned counsel for the plaintiffs
submits that on 11.5.2016 the present appeal was filed by the
defendants and notices were issued to the plaintiffs, whereas the
Execution No. 19/2016 for execution of the impugned judgment
and decree dated 29.2.2016 was filed on 26.4.2016 i.e. prior to
filing the appeal. He further submits that despite receipt of notice
of execution case, the judgment debtors i.e. defendants no. 1 to 6
did not appear before the Executing Court and therefore, the
decree for specific performance was executed against the
defendant nos. 1 to 6, who had executed the agreement to sell in
favour of the plaintiffs and on full satisfaction of the decree for
specific performance, execution petition was disposed of by the
executing court.
It is also submitted that the plaintiffs are in possession
of the suit property and they were using and occupying the same,
but since the defendant nos. 7 to 9 created hindrance in use and
occupation thereof and attacked the plaintiffs on 14.12.2019 at
the shop, FIR No. 666/2019 was lodged against the defendant(s)
at Police Station, Lalsot, Distt. Dausa and after investigation, the
police filed the charge sheet against them for the offences under
Section 323, 325, 336, 504, 147, 148, 149 IPC. With malafide
intention, on 21.12.2019 the defendant(s) filed a complaint in the
Court of ACJM No.1, Lalsot, which was sent to Police for
investigation under Section 156 (3) CrPC and after investigation
on 25.1.2020, the police filed the negative final report. The
defendant nos. 7 to 9 put a lock over the suit property and did not
(3 of 4) [CFA-209/2016]
remove the same. On this count, the plaintiffs again filed an
execution petition for getting the lock removed with the police
help.
He further submits that since the defendants no. 7 to 9
(appellants herein) did not file any written statement before the
trial Court and neither there was any averment that they were in
possession of the suit property nor there was any evidence to this
effect, therefore, at this stage, they cannot say that they are in
possession of the suit property. He further submits that in view of
the above and the fact that the decree for specific performance
has already been executed, the stay application is liable to be
rejected.
Heard. Considered.
Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of
the case and more particularly in view of the fact that the decree
for specific performance is not being executed against the
defendants no. 7 to 9 (appellants herein); and impugned decree
for specific performance has already been executed against
defendants no. 1 to 6; the defendants no. 7 to 9 did not file any
written statement before the trial Court and neither there was any
averment that they were in possession of the suit property nor
there was any evidence to this effect and for the first time, they
are claiming before this Court that they are in possession of the
suit property, whereas on the other hand, the plaintiffs are
claiming their possession over the suit property, which was duly
found proved by the trial court, the stay application and the
instant application for passing appropriate order on the stay
application are malafide, more particularly in view of the fact that
FIR No. 666/2019 was lodged at Police Station, Lalsot, Distt.
(4 of 4) [CFA-209/2016]
Dausa against the defendant(s) and after investigation, the police
filed the charge sheet for the offence under Sections 323, 325,
336, 504, 147, 148, 149 IPC and as a counter blast, the
defendant(s) filed a complaint in the Court of ACJM No.1, Lalsot,
which was sent to Police for investigation under Section 156 (3)
CrPC and after investigation, the police filed the negative final
report, both the applications are liable to be dismissed, which
stand dismissed with a cost of Rs. 50,000/-, to be paid to the
plaintiffs within four weeks from today.
