2. Plaintiff/appellant herein has suffered impugned judgments and decrees on account of its own lapse of not producing any evidence in the cases. Plaintiff filed three suits for possession by specific performance in the trial Court. Civil Suit No.175 of 1995 was instituted in respect to land measuring 16 kanals. Suit No.174 of 1995 was for land measuring 14 kanals and suit No.173 of 1995 was for land measuring 15 kanals. It is alleged that defendant No.1 executed three agreements to sell, all dated 01.04.1994. In each case the sale considerations were fixed at Rs.7,20,000/-. An amount of Rs.72,000/­ was paid as advance against each transaction against proper receipts. Suit for possession by specific performance was filed in the trial court on the basis of an agreement to sell dated 01.04.1994. It has been alleged in the plaints filed in all the suits that defendant No.1 agreed to sell the plots of land detailed in the plaints for a consideration of Rs.7,20,000/- in each case and executed agreements to sell, all dated 01.04.1994. An amount of Rs.72,000/- was paid as advance money in each case against a proper receipt. Defendant No.2 is the witness to all the agreements. Balance sale consideration was agreed to be paid at the time of execution of the sale deeds. Defendants No, I was required to obtain necessary permission and clearance from Income Tax Authority and other authorities required for transfer of the land. It is further stated in the plaints that defendant No.1 was required to intimate plaintiff by registered post regarding grant of necessary permission and plaintiff would get the sale deeds executed within one month or by 3rd of April, 1994 which ever be later. Possession of the plots of land was required to be handed over to the plaintiff at the time of execution and registration of the sale deeds. It is alleged that representative of the plaintiff requested to obtain requisite clearance and inform him through registered post. It is further stated that on 14.07.1995, plaintiff advanced another amount of Rs.4.00 lacs against each agreement on latter’s request against proper receipts but the defendant has not informed the plaintiff regarding necessary clearance and permission. It is further stated that a legal notice was also served upon defendant No.1, but without any response. Plaintiff has further stated that he is still ready and willing to pay the balance sale consideration. On being summoned, defendants filed the written statement denying the execution of the agreements as also the receipts for the amounts of earnest money of Rs.72,000/- and Rs.4.00 lacs in each case; respectively, They even denied the existence of the agreements and alleged that the same are result of fraud, manipulation and are forged and fabricated. It was pleaded that the agreements appear to have been forged on the basis of blank papers misused by one Rama Nand, Advocate who had purchased the adjacent land from the defendants in the year 1960 and has constructed a house thereon. Said Rama Nand is said to have developed good neighbourly relations with the defendants and had misused the fiduciary relation by obtaining thumb impressions and signatures of defendant No.1 on blank papers. The agreements are also said to be without consideration as the defendant never received the advanced amount or agreed to sell the land. On the basis of the pleadings of the parties, the trial court framed following issues:-

1) Whether the defendant No.1 agreed to sell the suit land vide agreement dated 01.04.1994 in favour of plaintiff? OPP

2) Whether decree dated 10.10.1994 regarding suit land suffered by defendant No.1 in favour of defendants No.2 to 15 is illegal, null and void? OPP

3) Whether the defendant
