Order
12/02/2021
Challenge in the instant second appeal filed by the
appellant plaintiff under Section 100 CPC has been made to the
judgment and decree dated 23.05.2011 passed by the Court of
Additional District Judge No.1, Sikar, District Sikar (Raj.) [for short
'the First Appellate Court'] in Civil Regular Appeal No. 77/2018
whereby the Additional District Judge No.1, Sikar while dismissing
the appeal filed by the appellant plaintiff affirmed the judgment
and decree dated 03.12.2005 passed by the Court of Additional
Civil Judge (Jr. Division) No.2, Sikar [for short ' the trial Court'] in
(2 of 4) [CSA-615/2011]
Civil Suit No. 158/2003 by which suit filed by the plaintiff
appellant for eviction of the defendant was dismissed.
The facts summarized in brief are that plaintiff filed a
suit for eviction against the defendant mainly on the grounds of
default in payment of rent, bonafide necessity, non-user of the
shop in dispute by the defendant and also availability of
alternative accommodation with the defendant. Written statement
of denial was filed by the defendant. On the basis of pleadings of
the parties, the trial Court framed eight issues and one another
issue as 1(a). The plaintiff in support of his case produced seven
witnesses and got exhibited some documents. The defendant in
support of his case produced four witnesses and got exhibited
some documents. The trial Court vide its judgment and decree
dated 03.12.2005 dismissed the suit filed by the plaintiff. The
plaintiff aggrieved and dissatisfied with the judgment and decree
dated 03.12.2005 passed by the trial Court preferred an appeal
before the First Appellate Court which was dismissed vide
judgment and decree dated 23.05.2011.
Learned counsel for the plaintiff/ appellant argued that
both the courts below dismissed the suit for eviction filed by the
plaintiff/appellant. The application under Order 41 Rule 27 CPC
had remained undecided, the same has caused prejudice to the
plaintiff/appellant and the non-disposal of the application led to
miscarriage of justice.
In support of his submissions, learned counsel has
placed reliance in a case of Hakam Singh v. State of Haryana
& Ors., reported in 2009(1) WLC (SC) Civil 314.
Learned counsel for the defendant/respondent-tenant
has argued that the judgment- Hakam Singh (supra) cited by the
(3 of 4) [CSA-615/2011]
counsel for the plaintiff/appellant, as noticed above, did not lay
down as a rule that irrespective of nature of application under
Order 41 Rule 27 CPC, in case such an application is not decided
the matter has to be remanded to the first appellate court.
I have perused the impugned judgments and decrees
passed by both the Courts below, scanned and scrutinized the
entire material made available to the Court.
In the present case, the plaintiff/ appellant filed a suit
for eviction against the defendant on the grounds of default of
rent and bonafide necessity of his son, non-user of the shop in
dispute by the defendant and the availability of the alternative
accommodation with the defendant. The plaintiff/appellant moved
an application under Order 41 Rule 27 CPC on 08.07.2008. Reply
to the application was filed by the defendant on 03.10.2008.
Indisputably, both the courts below dismissed the suit
for eviction filed by the plaintiff/appellant. The documents
submitted by the plaintiff/appellant along-with the application
under Order 41 Rule 27 CPC pertain to the premises in question.
Thus, it cannot be said that the non-disposal of the application
under Order 41 Rule 27 CPC in the facts and the circumstances of
the present case, has not caused any prejudice to the
plaintiff/appellant.
In view of above, without going into the legality and
propriety of the impugned judgment and decree passed by the
first appellate court in the present second appeal, the impugned
judgment and decree dated 23.05.2011 passed by the Court of
Addl. District Judge No.1, Sikar, District Sikar (Raj.) is set aside
and the matter is remitted back to the first appellate court for
decision of the appeal on merits in accordance with law along-with
(4 of 4) [CSA-615/2011]
the application for acceptance of additional evidence under Order
41 Rule 27 CPC.
The parties are directed to appear before the First
Appellate Court on 08.03.2021.
The Registrar (Judicial) is directed to send back record
of the case to the First Appellate Court forthwith.
