4. Since Defendant No.1- Shri Pratap Singh the elder brother of the Plaintiff, was differently abled, he was permitted along with his family to stay on the First Floor of the suit property, while the Plaintiff/Shri Bir Singh and his family resided on the Second Floor of the suit property. The Plaintiff also permitted him to collect the rent of two rooms on the Ground Floor of the suit property which was in the possession of the tenant out of love and affection as the elder brother was not having sufficient income.

5. However, since the Defendants started harassing the Plaintiff and threatened to grab the title and possession of the suit property, the Plaintiff terminated the permissive use of the Defendants in the Suit property in July 2018. The Plaintiff also asked the Defendants to cease and desist from collecting the rent from the tenants.

6. The Defendants neither vacated the suit property nor ceased to collect the rent in respect of the two rooms on the ground floor. The Plaintiff, being the sole owner of the suit property, was constrained to file the first Civil Suit bearing C.S. No. 24/2020 for permanent Injunction, Mandatory Injunction and mesne profits against the Defendants.

In the above suit, the Defendants filed their Written Statement and raised a defense that though the property is in the name of the Plaintiff, the sale consideration of Rs. 60,000/- was paid by the Defendants and the Plaintiff had already transferred his right title and interest in the suit property to the Defendant No. 1/Sh.
