Hon’ble Rakesh Thapliyal, J.
1. Mr. Kailash Chandra, learned counsel holding
the brief of Mr. Amish Tewari, learned counsel for the
appellants.
2. Mr. Deewan Singh Dhapola, respondent no. 1
present in person with Mr. A.D. Tripathi, learned
counsel for respondent no. 1.
3. The instant second appeal was admitted on two
substantial questions of law on 10.12.2019. The
appellant herein is the plaintiff of Suit No. 42 of 2018,
wherein, the sale deed executed by defendant no. 1 in
favour of defendant nos. 2 and 3 dated 01.04.2016 was
challenged. The suit was filed on the ground that the
sale deed dated 01.04.2016 be declared as null and void
since the same land was already purchased by the
plaintiff by virtue of registered sale deed dated
26.09.2013, which was executed by one Bhupendra S/o
Trilok Singh in his favour. In both the sale deeds dated
01.04.2016 and 26.09.2013 the land falling in Khet No.
2181 measuring 8 Muthi out of which 2 Muthi was sold
to respondent no. 1 by one Trilok Singh by virtue of
sale deed dated 22.05.1985, one Muthi was utilized in a
road and the remaining 5 Muthi was sold out by
Bhupendra Singh to plaintiff by virtue of sale deed
dated 26.09.2013.
4. In the said suit the defendant filed their counter
claim, however the counter claim was rejected for want
of jurisdiction and the same was not challenged. The
suit was decreed, however the defendants went in
appeal before the First Appellate Court and the First
Appellate Court allowed the appeal by setting aside the
order of Trial Court and being aggrieved now by the
plaintiff/appellant the instant second appeal has been
preferred.
5. Learned counsel for the appellant argued that the
respondent no. 1 examined before the Trial Court and
admits that he has raised the construction over the area
##PAGE2##which is not part of the sale deed dated 01.04.2016.
6. On the other side, learned counsel for the
respondent submits that the area where respondent no.
1 raised the construction is of 40 years old and the
construction was started infact in 1986 since they got
absolute right by virtue of the registered sale deed
dated 22.05.1985.
7. Apart from this, respondent also argued that
infact the person who executed the sale deed in favour
of the appellant on 26.09.2013 is not the son of the
actual owner Trilok Singh, which is evident from the
fact that by virtue of sale deed dated 26.09.2013 the
mutation proceeding was initiated, however, the
revenue court declined to record the name of the
appellant in the revenue records, in support of which
the supplementary affidavit has been filed by the
respondents.
8. The Trial Court record has already been received
but the paper book is not prepared.
9. The Registry is directed to prepare the paper
book and supply the learned counsel for the parties on
payment of usual charges.
10. List this appeal for final hearing on 25.02.2026.
