On 03.01.1985, the petitioner entered into an agreement for sale to purchase the suit property for a sum of Rs.36,000/-. He paid the entire consideration amount to the respondent No.1-Late Shri Rakhram on the same day. In this regard, an agreement took place between the parties and possession of the land in-question was also delivered to the petitioner. In the said agreement, description of the land was given as “Chak 6 B.P.M., Tehsil Raisinghnagar, District Sri Ganganagar Square No.119/331-25 Bigha and Square No.116/331-24.10 Bigha total 49.10 Bigha”.

It was also agreed that after getting sale permission, the sale deed would be executed in favour of the petitioner, but, the respondents neither got the permission to sale, nor the sale deed got executed. Thereafter, a sum of Rs.10,000/- was paid to the respondent No.1-Late Shri Ramrakh on 15.06.2005.

4. As per the terms of the agreement, the petitioner filed a suit in the year 2008 for Specific Performance of Contract, as the respondent did not execute the sale deed in-question. On 10.07.2013, the suit was further amended and an amended plaint was filed. A written statement was filed in the suit by the respondent No.1/2-Smt. Vijay Laxmi, whereby she denied the averments made in the plaint and also refused the execution of any agreement.

6. During pendency of the suit, the respondent No.1/1-Binjha Ram, filed a compromise dated 06.02.2012 vide which, he admitted the agreement and stated that he has no objection, if half of the land is transferred in favour of petitioner, which fact was verified by the learned trial court on 15.02.2012.

The application preferred by the petitioner was rejected by the learned trial court vide order dated 05.07.2016 on the ground that description of the property given in the plaint is in accordance with the agreement dated 03.01.1985 and there is no such clerical error.
