1. Plaintiff is in second appeal aggrieved of concurrent judgment and decree passed by both the Courts below.

2. Plaintiff filed suit seeking decree of specific performance of agreement to sell dated 16.10.2008. As per plaintiff, defendant No.1 agreed to sell land measuring 06 kanal 12 marlas as detailed out in the headnote of the plaint (hereinafter referred to as the suit land) for a total sale consideration of Rs.1,01,70,000/- by way of written agreement to sell dated 16.10.2008. A sum of Rs.45,70,000/- was paid to defendant No.1 at the time of execution of agreement to sell. Parties agreed to get the sale deed executed on or before 15.12.2008. As per the averments made in the plaint, defendant No.1 approached the plaintiff on 20.11.2008 and raised demand of Rs.5 lakhs. Plaintiff paid the same. Writing to the said effect was made on the original receipt dated 16.10.2008. Accordingly, the plaintiff by 20.11.2008 paid an amount of Rs.50,70,000/- to defendant No.1 towards sale consideration.

3. Plaintiff claims to have remained present before the Office of Sub Registrar, Sohna on 15.12.2008 for execution of sale deed along with the stamp papers and a demand draft of Rs.10 lakhs dated 13.12.2008 and the remaining sale consideration in cash. Defendant No.1 remained absent and failed to perform his part. Plaintiff claims to have got her presence marked before the Office of Sub Registrar.

She further pleads that she called upon defendant No.1 by way of legal notice dated 16.12.2008 to come present before the Office of Sub Registrar, Sohna on 05.01.2009 and to execute sale deed in her favour. Plaintiff apprehending that defendant No.1 was contemplating to alienate the suit land, filed suit seeking permanent injunction restraining defendant No.1 from alienating the suit property. Defendant No.1 appeared before the Court in the suit for permanent injunction and admitted execution of agreement to sell in favour of plaintiff and receipt of Rs.50,70,000/-.

The sale deed was drafted with the consent of defendant No.1. She paid a stamp fee of Rs.1,91,100/- on the asking of Sub Registrar, Sohna.
