3. The defendant in his written statement would contend that the suit property never belonged to Anjalaiammal. It is also not true that the said Anjalaiammal leased out the suit property to the plaintiff. The plaintiff is never in possession of the suit property as a lessee. The plaintiff is not personally cultivating the suit property as a tenant much less a cultivating tenant. The suit properpty originally belonged to one Sinthamani Ammal, mother of Kasi Samuttiar. Sinthamani Ammal has been in possession and enjoyment of the property by paying the land tax to the Government. She had settled about one half of the property with specific boundaries to her son Kasi Samuttiar under a settlement deed dated 30.3.1963 and delivered possession. At the time when the property was settled by Sinthamani Ammal in favour of his son, there was a partition in the family between Kasi Samuttiar and his brothers. With the consent of Sinthamani Ammal, the remaining extent purchased by Sinthamani Ammal and some more extent in the same survey number which belonged to the family was allotted to the plaintiff. The patta has b een transferred in the name of Kasi Samuttiar in Patta No.188. A borewell was sunk by Kasi Samuttiar and for the said purpose the other properties which belonged to the family were mortgaged to Cuddalore Cooperative Land Development Bank. Kasi Samuttiar validily sold the property to the defendant on 22. 1990 and delivered possession. Anjalaiammal has absolutely no title or interest in the property. Anjalai Ammal is the daughter of one Pavadai. The said Pavadai who sold the property to Sinthamani Ammal under a validly executed sale deed. So after the sale, Pavadai has no interest and Anajalaiammal also cannot claim any interest. The lease deed propounded is a fabricated one. The plaintiff is not entitled to the relief of injunction. Hence the suit is liable to be dismissed.
