Judgment
07/11/2022
1. Appellant-plaintiff has preferred this civil second appeal
under Section 100 CPC, assailing judgment and decree dated
29.8.2017 passed by Additional District Judge, Swai Madhopur in
appeal No.80/2016, affirming the judgment and decree dated
24.2.2014 passed by Additional Civil Judge (Junior Division), Swai
Madhopur in suit No.36/1997 whereby and whereunder the civil
suit filed by plaintiff for declaration, cancellation of registered sale
(2 of 4) [CSA-727/2017]
deed and permanent injunction as also the conversion order has
been dismissed and the counter claim of defendant No.1 Ram Vilas
has been decreed in respect of plot and his ownership and
possession.
2. Heard counsel for both parties, perused the impugned
judgments and record.
3. It appears from record that appellant-plaintiff claimed to
purchase a plot measuring 25X50 square feet out of land of
Khasra No.590/2 situated at village Mau, Tehsil and District Swai
Madhopur. Plaintiff's case is that the said agricultural land was
belonging to defendant No.2 Bajrang Lal and he carved out five
plots of equal size out of his land and therefore, no extra land left
at side. However, defendant No.2 Bajrang Lal apart from his five
plots has executed one sale deed dated 23.3.1992 (Ex.2) in favour
of defendant No.5 Meena in respect of land having area of 136.85
square yards. Defendant No.5 Meena in turns sold this area to
defendant No.1 through registered sale deed dated 5.1.1993.
Plaintiff claimed that both sale deeds dated 23.3.1992 and
subsequent sale deed dated 5.1.1993 be cancelled and on the
basis of such sale deeds, defendants be restrained not to encroach
upon his plots through sale deed of plaintiff.
4. It appears that the trial Court after recording evidence of
both parties has recorded fact findings that plaintiff (Pw.1) himself
has admitted in his cross-examination that defendant No.2-
Bajrang Lal was having 1/16th share which was measuring about
803.51 square yards and out of such area, he got converted an
area of 666.66 square yards, therefore, the area of 136.85 square
yards land remain left with defendant No.2 Bajrang lal which was
(3 of 4) [CSA-727/2017]
not get converted. It is an admitted case of plaintiff that five plots
were carved out by defendant No.2 BajrangLal out of area of
666.66 square yards. The trial Court has further recorded fact
finding that the left out area of land i.e. 136.85 square yards was
sold by defendant No.2 Bajrang Lal to defendant No.5 Meena vide
sale deed dated 23.3.1992 and on the basis of such sale deed the
mutation was open in the name of defendant No.5 Meena.
Thereafter, defendant No.5 through sale deed dated 5.1.1993,
transferred her plot to defendant No.1 Ram Vilas. On the basis of
such fact findings, the trial Court observed that there is no
evidence that defendants made any encroachment over purchased
plot of plaintiff measuring 25X50 feet and further sale deed
executed by Bajrang Lal in respect of land having area of 136.85
was sold out of his own agricultural land. Therefore, the case of
plaintiff seeking cancellation of sale deed dated 23.3.1992 has
been dismissed on merits and on the basis of aforesaid facts and
circumstances, his suit as in toto has been dismissed vide
judgment dated 24.2.2014.
5. Plaintiff challenged the judgment and decree dated
24.2.2014, by way of first appeal. The First Appellate Court re-
consider the entire evidence and concurred with fact findings of
the trial Court that as per evidence, it is clear that defendant No.2
Bajrang Lal executed sale deed dated in favour of defendant No.5
Meena in respect of area of 136.85 square yard land which was
left with him after conversion of the land of 666.66 square yards
from his 1/6th share in Khasra No.590/2 at Village Mau. Thus, the
first appeal was dismissed on merits vide judgment dated
29.8.2017.
(4 of 4) [CSA-727/2017]
6. This Court finds that both Courts below have concurrently
held that plaintiff has no case for cancellation of sale deeds dated
23.3.1992 as sale deeds were executed in respect of land of
defendant No.2 and through these sale deeds, both Courts below
have concurrently observed that plaintiff miserably failed to
establish that any encroachment by defendants upon his plot
measuring 25X50 feet, was made. Therefore, both Courts below
have not committed illegality and jurisdictional error in dismissing
plaintiff's suit whereas since it is established on record that
defendant No.1 Ram Vilas purchased the plot in question through
registered sale deed, therefore, his counter claim has been
decreed for not interfering in the plot which lies in his ownership
and possession.
7. Fact findings of both Courts below are neither perverse nor
based on surmises and conjectures rather both Courts have
appreciated or re-appreciated the entire evidence on record as
such do not give rise to any substantial question of law.
8. It is trite law that in absence of any substantial question of
law, the second appeal cannot be entertained, therefore, the
second appeal is dismissed in limine.
9. All pending application(s), if any, also stand(s) disposed of.
10. Record of both Courts below be sent back forthwith.
