3. The applicants/defendants No.1 to 6 filed an application under Order 7 Rule 11 of CPC claimed rejection of plaint. It is averred in the said application that agreement does not bear signature of Lakhanlal Patel and he had not executed the same in favour of plaintiff. The plaintiff and her husband conspired together to forge signature of Late Lakhanlal on unregistered sale deed. Though the plaintiff has mentioned in alleged agreement that an amount of Rs.1,50,00,000/- (Rs.1,25,00,000/- & Rs.25,00,000/-) was paid by cheque but she has not filed any documentary evidence such as bank account statement, income tax return to prove the same. During lifetime Late Lakhanlal Patel had not filed any suit. Lakhanlal Patel expired on 2.4.2015 and thereafter names of defendants were recorded in revenue records being legal heirs. But, present suit has been filed after 10 years, whereas date 31.3.2011 is mentioned in agreement regarding payment of balance amount. The plaintiff’s suit was barred by time. Had there been such agreement of receiving Rs.25 lacs by cheque and Rs.125 lacs in cash the same would have been in their knowledge. In agreement Khasra No.56/6 total area 0.86 hectares has been mentioned, whereas plaintiff filed document of year 2021-22 M.P. Computerised Land Record wherein Khasra No.56/6/9 area 0.298
