Headnote:

Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 - Section 26 - Order 7 rule 1 - Civil Revision Petition - Suit is filed for specific performance as per the agreement of sale and as per clause No.4 of agreement of sale he agreed to sale his other property covered with Memorandum of Conformation of Oral Hiba and executed for remaining land of the defendant - Held, In the aforestated scheme, there is no power vesting in the trial Court at the time of registration of the suit to venture into the merits of the matter or possible disputed issues - In the present case, the objection raised by the office of the trial Court, which was thereafter sustained by the trial Court, is that the suit prayer relates to a larger extent than can be claimed by the petitioner-plaintiff as per the suit agreement - This is not an issue which could have been gone into by the trial Court at the time of registration of the plaint - It is for the petitioner-plaintiff to demonstrate before the trial Court during the suit proceedings as to how he is entitled to such relief - When he valued the property in question fully and properly and paid requisite Court fee thereon, the trial Court had no power to determine as to the extent of relief that could be claimed by him at the very threshold and require him to amend his suit prayer accordingly - Petition allowed. (Para 7)

2. The office of the trial Court raised an objection on 04.04.2018, which reads as under:

C.F.R.No. of 2018 dated 4-4-2018

This is a suit file under section 26 order 7 rule 1 and 2 C.P.C, suit for specific performance in respect of land bearing Sy.Nos.4, extent Ac.3-30, in survey number 6 extent Ac.2-00 situated at Saipur village of Tandur Mandal as per the agreement of sale dated 17-2-2015

The agreement of sale dated 17-2-2015 is executed only for an extent of Ac.2-00 in survey number 6 situated at Shaipur village, but the plaintiff praying to this Court for directions to the defendants to execute registered sale deed in favour of the plaintiff to an extent of Ac.5-30 guntas in Sy.No.4 and 6.

04/04/2018

3. The office however opined that the objections required to be heard on two points:

(1) The point of limitation

(2) How the suit for the entire schedule of property Ac.5-30 guntas is maintainable, when the Agreement of Sale is for Ac.2-00 guntas and another receipt is for Ac.2-00 guntas.

The matter was accordingly directed to be posted for hearing on the Bench and, by order dated 12.04.2018, the trial Court returned the suit stating as under:

Heard the counsel for plff, the agreement of sale is executed to an extent of Ac.2.00 in Sy.No.6, and clause no.4 in the agreement of is pertaining to remaining portion of his land i.e. 3.30 gts in Sy.No.4 and the 1st party assures second party after completion of sale transaction under agreement of sale dt.17/2/2015 only the future transaction takes place. Therefore suit is not maintainable to the entire extent of Ac.5.20 gts and it is maintainable to extent of Ac.2.00 only in Sy.No.6 only. Hence counsel is directed to restricted his prayer to the extent of two acres only.

4. Aggrieved by the direction to restrict his suit prayer as a condition precedent for entertainment of the suit, the petitioner-plaintiff is before this Court. Section 26 CPC deals with institution of suits and states that every suit shall be instituted by the presentation of a plaint and that, in every plaint, facts shall be proved by affidavit.
