ORDER :
T. Madhavi Devi, J.
This Civil Revision Petition has been filed against the orders of dismissal dated 01.07.2024 in I.A.No.654 of 2023 in O.S.No.172 of 2022 filed under Order VII Rule 11(b) r/w Section 151 of C.P.C. by the Principal Junior Civil Judge at Kodad, Suryapet District
2. Brief facts leading to the filing of the present Civil Revision Petition are that the petitioner herein is the defendant No.1 in the suit filed by the respondent No.1/plaintiff for cancellation of registered sale deed vide document No.1632/2021, dated 04.12.2021, registered in the office of the Tahsildar and Joint Sub-Registrar, Kodad and the plaint was filed under Section 26, order VII, Rule 1 of C.P.C. In the plaint, it was averred that the plaintiff was the owner of the suit schedule property being agricultural land and was intending to sell the same and that the defendants having come to know about the sale of land, had offered to purchase the land to an extent of 2-00 gts., in Survey No.998/E/2, situated at Kodad Revenue Village and Mandal, Suryapet District and that the plaintiff has accepted the offer and entered into an agreement for sale dated 03.12.2021 on receipt of only part payment and registered the land in favour of defendant No.1 on 04.12.2021 after the defendants agreed to pay the balance sale consideration to the plaintiff. It is submitted that the plaintiff registered the suit schedule land on 04.12.2021 in the Tahsildar’s Office on the promise that the respondent No.2 would pay the balance sale consideration after completion of registration. But when the plaintiff came out from Tahsildar’s office immediately after registration, the respondent No.2 was not available and had intentionally escaped in order to avoid the payment of balance sale consideration and therefore, it was nothing but fraud, cheating and misrepresentation and therefore, he has filed the suit for cancellation of the registered sale deed. The suit was filed on 05.07.2022, claiming that on 28.04.2022, in the evening hours, the plaintiff met the defendants No.1 and 2 at their house in Kodad Town and when the plaintiff requested the defendants for payment of the balance sale consideration as per the agreement, there was a refusal and in fact, there was an attack on the plaintiff and therefore the petitioner filed a cognizable complaint dated 29.04.2022, against all the defendants before the SHO, Kodad Town Police Station and in spite of receiving the same on 29.04.2022, FIR was not registered against the defendants. Therefore, a private complaint was filed before the Court and the same is pending consideration and alleging that the plaintiff has requested the defendants several times about the pending payment of the balance and since no possession was delivered to the defendants under the document, the plaintiff filed the suit for cancellation of registered sale deed No.1632/2021, dated 04.12.2021, which was registered in the office of Tahsildar and Joint Sub-Registrar, Kodad.
3. The defendant No.1 has filed a written statement denying the allegations made in the plaint and submitted that the alleged original agreement of sale has not been filed by the plaintiff before the Court and therefore, there was no such agreement of sale deed dated 03.12.2021. It is further submitted that the draft of the sale deed was prepared much before the alleged agreement dated 03.12.2021 and so the question of entering the agreement by the defendants with the plaintiff on 03.12.2021 and getting the registered sale deed executed on the very next day i.e., 04.12.2021 does not arise. The defendants also denied that the plaintiff has
A plaintiff must clearly state the cause of action and relevant details in the plaint for it to be maintainable; lack of such specifics can lead to the rejection of the plaint under Order VII Rule 11....
Section 38 will not attract when consideration is not shown in document which is in question.
Unilateral cancellation of sale deeds is void; a suit for cancellation must follow legal procedures, and claims barred by limitation cannot be entertained.
A defendant's fraudulent inducement on a contractual obligation supports a plaintiff's claim for cancellation of a sale deed and necessitates a full trial.
The plaint must disclose a cause of action, and the permissibility of oral averments contradicting a written document depends on the applicability of relevant provisions of the Evidence Act.
