On Oath 18.04.2023 I am an Architect by profession. I founded an Architectural Design Firm with the aforesaid name since 2012. I was approached by defendant company for a visit at Nalagarh of their factory in the year 2018. Accordingly, I visited the factory of the defendant at Nalagarh with my team on 29th April, 2018. I inspected the entire premises of the factory and the defendants told me to demarcate the premises of the factory as some portion of the factory was rented out to the plaintiff by the defendant. After inspecting the entire premises of the factory with my team I prepared the report, which is mark "X", now Ext. DW-2/A, (original placed on record today), which is duly singed by me. I have mentioned in the Ext. DW-2/A, the premises which was disclosed to me to be rented out to the plaintiff by the defendant in green colour, however, there are certain portions adjacent to the shed rented out to the plaintiff, which was also under the occupation of the plaintiff, which has been reflected by me in Ext. DW-2/A in red colour.

(Paras Doger) Registrar (Judicial) R.O & AC 18th April, 2023 (ravinder) AW-1:- Statement of Shri Om Prakash S/o late Shri Sant Ram R/o 17, Raelane Norwalk, CT. 006850-U.S.A On Oath 11.07.2022 In the year 1993, I filed a Civil Suit for declaration rendering the accounts and partition against the respondent Rajinder Kumar Sood and others. In the year September, 2000 this suit was partly decreed. Thereafter I filed an appeal registered as RFA 365 of 2000, against the judgment and decree in December, 2000 in the Hon'ble High Court. Alongwith the suit, I filed an application for restraining the defendants/respondents from changing the nature of the suit property, alienation and transfer of the suit property. On the above said application the Hon'ble Court granted the stay on 03.01.2001, whereby the respondent/defendant were restrained from changing the nature of the suit land and transfer of the suit property. Later on 05.03.2002 the original stay order was modified to the extent that any transfer of the suit property shall be subject to the final outcome of the appeal and in the meantime the respondents were restrained from creating any third party equity in the suit property. In the year 2012 in the month of July, the respondent Shri Rajinder Kuamar Sood had filed a case before Assistant Collector II Grade Theog regarding removal of my name from the specific suit land comprising Khasra Nos. 1000, 1001, 1002, 1003, 1004 and 1005 situated at Kalinda, Mohal Matyana Tehsil Theog, District Shimla, H.P. In the proceedings before the Assistant Collector II Grade Theog the respondent/defendant Shri Rajinder Kumar Sood has filed an application wherein he has given my wrong address and impleaded my younger brother namely Shri Rajneesh Sood who had expired in the year 1993. He intentionally made a dead person as a party in the proceedings and gave his wrong name as Kuka and his address. The defendant/respondent had also specifically concealed the fact qua pendency of the RFA No. 365 of 2000 and also the stay order in effect and he further lied under oath that me and my brother had left the country 30 to 35 years ago and never came back to India thereafter to claim their share. The copy of the application before Assistant Collector Theog is marked as A-1 and the copies of the order dated 13.07.2012 passed by the Assistant Collector Theog is marked as A-2. On the basis of the above said application before the Assistant Collector II Grade Theog the respondent/defendant Shri Rajinder Sood had successfully remove my name from the revenue records. By doing so the respondent has willfully disobeyed and violated the orders of the Hon'ble Court and he is liable to punished for contempt of court. The violation of the stay order is still continuing as of day. Xxxxxxx Cross examination by Shri Neeraj Gupta, Ld. Counsel for the respondents xxxxx I have done my Master in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences. It is correct that I am well conversant with English and Hindi languages. It is correct that I had not personally gone through the plaint in the civil suit filed by me in the year 1993. Self stated that at that time I had gone through the plaint, however, the appeal was filed before the Hon'ble High Court through my general power of attorney. Again stated at the time of filing of the appeal I was at USA. It is correct that during the proceedings of the civil suit I was regularly attending the hearings in the Court. It is correct that in that civil suit my statement was recorded in the Court. I was consistently following the proceedings in the court through my Advocate by telephone. In September, 2000 I came to know that the suit has been partly decreed through my counsel engaged at that time. It is incorrect that my suit was dismissed by the Court of District Judge Shimla. It is correct that I was attending the proceedings in the High Court oftenly. I do not remember when for the first time, I had gone through the contents of the grounds of appeal. Self stated that in the mean time the counsel was regularly in touch with me over the phone. It is correct that after filing of the appeal my counsel confirmed me that the appeal had been filed and the stay has been passed by the Hon'ble Court. It is correct that after passing of the interim order I came to know about the nature of the order passed by the Hon'ble Court in my appeal. It is correct that the subsequent modification of the stay order was within my knowledge through my counsel. It is correct that the present contempt proceedings has been filed me after going through the contents of the contempt application. It is incorrect that the stay/interim order was completely modified by the court subsequently. It is correct that there is no order in the stay application after order dated 05.03.2002. I do not remember exactly for how many times I visited in India in the year 2009-10. Self stated that on an average I use to come after about two years. In the year 2011- 12 probably, I visited India twice or thrice, as there was some dispute regarding apple crop with respect to suit property. Self stated that this fact was also hidden in the proceedings before the Assistant Collector II Grade Theog by the respondent. I come to the suit property during the apple seasons and whenever I used to visit India. It is correct that in the year 2011, during apple crop season, I visited Matyana and I met the respondent personally and asked him to divide the apple crop as well as the suit property. It is incorrect that I had quarrel with the respondent Shri Rajinder Sood in the year 2011. Again stated that we had a quarrel and a police complaint was filed by the respondent against me with respect to stealing of the apple crop by me. It is correct that for that police complaint the proceedings were initiated and it went to the SDM. My statement was recorded before the SDM. It is incorrect that in the proceedings before the SDM Theog the statement of the respondent was also recorded as he was not present in that hearing. I am not aware any order dated 24.09.2011 in proceedings under Section 145 Cr.PC before the SDM Theog. I do know whether any inquiry was being conducted by the police in that proceedings. I do not have any idea that the then SDM had marked the inquiry to the Tehsildar Theog pertaining to the police complaint. It is correct that to lookafter the Orachard one Gorkha who works for PWD used to remain in the Orchard. I do not remember the name of that Gorkha. I met that Gorkha in the Orchard whenever I used to visit Orchard/suit property. I met him in the year 2011 alongwith the respondent. It is incorrect that in the year 2011 I forcibly tried to take away the apple crop in spite of the resistance from the said Gorkha. It is incorrect that due to forcibly taking away the apple crop the proceedings under Section 145 of Cr.P.C. registered against me. I have never read Section 145 Cr.P.C. and I do not know about the order passed by the SDM Theog in that proceedings. Self stated that when I asked the Gorkha about other than 70 boxes of apple I was told by him that the respondent had already taken them with him. Due to which I took rest of the 70 boxes with me. It is incorrect that after holding of inquiry and orders of the SDM the proceedings were closed. It is correct that statement mark X bears my signature within red circle RX. It is incorrect that while making a statement Mark X on 21.09.2011 I disclosed my resident of VPO Matyana, Tehsil Theog, District Shimla, H.P. and also resident of VPO Amb District Una. Self stated that I have also disclosed the SDM about my permanent resident of USA. It is correct that in the appeal No. 3-VIII/15-15 under Section 14 of the Land Revenue Act filed by me before SDM/Collector my address have been mentioned as VPO Matyana, Tehsil Theog, as well as resident of 17, Raelane Norwalk, CT. 006850-U.S.A. Self stated that the Matayna address has been mentioned in my appeal because the respondent has mentioned my Matyana address in the proceedings. It is incorrect that the respondent has violated the order of the Hon'ble High Court in any manner. It is also incorrect that the application for contempt of court is misconceived. It is incorrect that in order to harass the respondent the contempt proceedings has been filed against him falsely as he is in possession of the suit property.

However, the learned vice counsel for the plaintiff have submitted that the witnesses which are req uired to be examined today are only official witnesses.

Accordingly, the official witnesses i.e. Shri Mohinder Lal and Shri Subhash Chand are examined today. The learned vice counsel for the plaintiff have submitted that he will bring the plaintiff on the next date on his own responsibility.
Let the case be listed before the Additional Registrar(Judicial) for recording the remaining plaintiff's witnesses.

(Paras Doger) Registrar (Judicial) R.O & AC 13th September, 2022 (vs) Jagdish Chand (since deceased ) through LRs Varun Rana & Anr. Vs. Vinod Shandel Civil Suit No. 66 of 2015 16.09.2022 PW-1:- Statement of Sh. Varun Rana s/o late Sh. Jagdish Singh Rana, r/o Dayal House, near IGMC Boys Hostel, Sanjauli, Shimla, H.P. On Oath 16.09.2022 Stated that my father had entered into an agreement to purchase at village and mauja Chamyana, Kamlanagar, Bhatakufar with Shri Vinod Shandel, defendant on 25.11.2012. The total amount of the consideration for the purchase of flat was Rs. 62,00,000/- (Rupees sixty two lac). The agreement to sell is Ext.PW1/A. My father had paid an earnest money amounting to Rs. 11,00,000/- (rupees eleven lac) for the purchase of said flat to the defendant. The detail of the payment of the earnest money is already mentioned in para-5 of the agreement to sell Ext.PW1/A. Due to the ill health of my father, there was some delay in the payment of second installment amounting to Rs. 24,00,000/- (rupees twenty four lac), however, the same could not paid subsequently. Thereafter my father and myself tried to contact the defendant but he did not respond. Thereafter the defendant send a termination letter Ext.PW1/B to my father through registered letter which was received at about 30.5.2013. After receiving the termination letter from the defendant, me and my father personally visited the defendant. My father was ready and willing to execute the sale deed after payment of the balance amount, however, the defendant was reluctant and he straightway refuse to execute the sale deed. He also told that our earnest money has been forfeited in lieu of the agreement. Thereafter my father gave notice Ext.PW1/C through our counsel to the defendant for the execution of the sale deed through registered post. The postal receipt and acknowledgement are Ext.PW1/D and Ext.PW1/E, respectively.
Jagdish Chand (since deceased ) through LRs Varun Rana & Anr. Vs. Vinod Shandel Civil Suit No. 66 of 2015 My father and me was/is always ready and willing to pay the balance amount and to execute the sale deed but the defendant has not executed the sale deed till date nor refunded the earnest money. Subsequently it came to our knowledge that the defendant had already sold the said flat to somebody else.
Xxxxxxx Cross examination by Shri Naresh Gupta, Advocate, for the defendant.
It is correct that agreement to sell Mark 'X' bears my father signature in red circle Ext.PW1/F. It is incorrect that my father had cancelled the agreement to sell on 5.3.2013 (objected to on the ground of late production and beyond pleadings). It is incorrect that my father had put his signature on Mark 'X' in lieu of the cancellation of the said agreement to sell. It is incorrect that my father had also put his signature on the last page of the agreement Mark 'X' in lieu of the cancellation of the said agreement to sell. It is incorrect that after cancellation of the so called agreement to sell Mark 'X' the same was handed over to defendant by my father. It is incorrect that the first cheque which was issued by my father to the defendant in lieu of the purchase of the said flat was also dishonoured (object to on the ground that this question is beyond pleadings). It is incorrect that the defendant informed the dishonouring of the cheque to my father and thereafter it was subsequently honoured. So far as I remember the last payment in lieu of the agreement was to be made by my father by July 2013. It is incorrect that my father was not having money for payment of balance consideration till 25.7.2013. Self stated that he was possessing sufficient money to be made to defendant Jagdish Chand (since deceased ) through LRs Varun Rana & Anr. Vs. Vinod Shandel Civil Suit No. 66 of 2015 and for execution of the sale deed. It is incorrect that since my father was not paying the balance consideration due to which Ext.PW1/B was issued by the defendant. It is correct that the reply to the notice Ext.D-1 was issued by the defendant to my father. It is incorrect that after the receipt of the Ext.D-1 we did not made any efforts to pay the balance consideration and to execute the sale deed. It is incorrect that my father was never ready and willing to pay the balance consideration as he was not having sufficient money for the said purpose. It is incorrect that I am deposing false.

Saru, Pargana Udaipur, Tehsil and District Chamba, H.P. On Oath 14.10.2022 Stated that I am permanent resident of above stated address. Both the parties to this lis are personally known to me. On 04.11.2019, at about 7-8 a.m., I was going to buy the milk from the market. When I reached near to the house of Kaushlya Devi, then I saw that some verbal wrangle was going on between the family of Kaushlya Devi and Ashok Kumar. I heard that Ashok Kumar was requesting Kaushlya Devi to stop the construction work, which was going on the spot as she herself has taken the stay from the Hon'ble High Court of Himachal Pradesh. I am aware about the cause of dispute between the above said parties. Both the parties have land dispute. Both the Courts below at Chamba had given the judgment in favour of the father of Ashok Kumar, namely Dumnu Ram. Inspite of the request by Ashok Kumar to stop the construction work by Kaushlya Devi, she did not adhered to the request of Ashok Kumar and told Ashok Kumar that she can do whatever and she did not bother about the stay from the Hon'ble High Court of Himachal Pradesh. Kaushlya Devi was fixing railing on the disputed lental and was laying the lental on CMP No. 16020 of 2019 in RSA No. 223 of 2014 the empty land adjacent to the road. At that time Shri Bal Krishan, Anirudh and Tushar Sharma (son of Ashok) were also present. On the spot Tushar Sharma clicked the photographs on that day, which are marked as A-2 to A-6. Kaushlya did not stop the work on the spot, however, on the next day Ashok Kumar told me that he had lodged a Rapat in Daradha Police Post. Three sons of Kaushlya Devi are serving in Indian Army.

Stated that I am working as labourer at my native place. I was told by Ashok Kumar that his Khasra No. 1133 and adjacent Kharaa No. also belongs to him. I am not aware about the Khasra Number of my house.
Today, I have come to Shimla with Ashok Kumar. Again stated that my house is on Khasra No. 1199/1200. I have not brought any proof regarding Khasra Number of my house. I have not read the documents pertaining to the case of the parties. As per my knowledge the Hon'ble High Court has granted status quo order since 2016. I am not aware the month and the year in which Kaushlya Devi had filed the appeal in the Hon'ble High Court of Himachal Pradesh. I am not aware that an FIR was registered against Ashok Kumar with respect to the quarrel which had taken place on that day. I am also not CMP No. 16020 of 2019 in RSA No. 223 of 2014 aware that one criminal case is pending adjudication at Chamba Court against Ashok Kumar pertaining to that quarrel. The lental which is visible in photographs mark A-2 to A-6 about 8 to 10 years old. I am not aware as to how old the house which is visible in the photograph. The railing on the lental was fixed by Kaushlya Devi on 04.11.2019. I am not aware about the Khasra No. on which the construction appears to have been done in photographs mark A-3. The additional lental adjacent to the road is about 5-6 feets. I am graduate. I am not aware the date on which the Dussehra and Diwali festivals fell in the year 2019. It is correct that I have visiting terms in the house of Ashok Kumar but Ashok Kumar did not disclosed about the FIR against him qua that quarrel. I cannot say that the house of Kaushlya Devi had been constructed in the year 2000. It is correct that the house of Kaushlya is adjacent to the road. It is correct that the people can come on the lental from the road to the house of Kaushlya Devi. It is correct that she had affixed the railing to prevent the general public from coming on to the lental.

On my mother being legal heir of my Nana Ji, they asked from the Government for return of the land. However, government has not provided the land or the compensation. Therefore, my mother and my massi (Laxmi Devi) being legal heirs of my my Nani Ji, were constrained to file a Civil Suit No. 27 of 1998, in the Court of learned Senior Sub Judge Mandi, which was decided on 05.03.2003, whereby the suit for declaration and mandatory injunction was decreed by the Court. The certified copy of the judgment dated 05.03.2003 is Ex. PW5/A. Thereafter, the said judgment Ex.

has been ordered to be refunded in favour of the State Government. The order in the Execution Petition was assailed before the Hon'ble High Court by way of CMPMO No. 138 of 2011, and vide order dated 25.08.2011, the Hon'ble High Court disposed the said petition by observing that the plaintiffs shall file separate suit for quantification of the market value of the said land of those Mohals.

Company in the name of Shri Tara Business Group Private Limited Company. They were directors of the said company and they were actively participating in the business of the said firm.

In the month of July, 2012, the defendants No. 2 to 6 contacted me for doing the fruit business with them and they requested me to associate with them in the said business. The meeting was conducted in presence of all the Directors in the office at Khalini, Shimla, H.P. The defendants had orally agreed that after the supply of apple on credit basis to them, they will make the payment within 15 days after the receipt of the consignment.

Out of which, I filed four complaints for the dishonoring of the four cheques, which are pending adjudication in the District Courts at Shimla. The amount of the aforesaid dishonored cheques has not been claimed by me in the present suit.

The cheques against which no complaints were filed are Ext.PW-2/A to PW-2/C. Those cheques were signed by defendant No.2. The return memo of aforesaid cheques are Ext. PW-2/D to PW-

(Paras Doger) Registrar (Judicial) 29th December, 2022 (ravinder) PW-2:- Statement of Hans Raj son of Sh. Ram Swroop, aged 61 years, resident of Village Dador, P.O. Dhaban, Tehsil Balh, District Mandi, H.P. On Oath 29.12.2022 The parties to the lis are personally known to me. In the month of October, 2019, the defendants called me and Bikhu Ram at Ner Chowk, District Mandi, H.P. and they told me as they want to sell their property i.e. shops, land and house at Ner Chowk in order to pay the loan amount of the bank. Thereafter, I and Bikhu Ram contacted the plaintiff Ram Lal and told him that the defendants are interested to sell their property at Ner Chowk. The plaintiff Ram Lal was interested to purchase the property, therefore, he told us to fix a meeting for negotiations with the defendants and after the negotiations between the parties, both the parties agreed to make the transaction of the property for an amount of Rs.1,20,00,000/- (Rupees One Crore twenty lacs). Thereafter both the parties entered into an agreement i.e. Ext. PW- 1/A in my and Bikhu's presence. My signatures in the agreement Ext. PW-1/A is within red circle "F". Bikhu has also put his signatures which are in read circle "E" on agreement Ext.PW-1/A. The parties to the agreement also appended their signatures on the agreement in my and Bikhu's presence. The agreement was typed by document writer Bhagirath and the same was attested by the Notary Public in our presence. On the date of the execution of agreement i.e. Ext.PW-1/A, the plaintiff paid an amount of Rs.30,00,000/- (Rupees Thirty Lacs) to the defendants through bank transaction. The plaintiff had also paid an amount of Rs. 5,00,000/- (Rupees Five Lacs) four days earlier to the execution of the agreement to the defendant No.1-Ashok Kumar. It has been settled between the parties that within one month from the date of -2- the execution of the agreement the plaintiff will pay an amount of Rs.30,00,000/- (Rupees Thirty Lacs) to the defendants and the parties will get the sale deed executed on or before 30 th May, 2020. Thereafter, I, Ram Lal and Bikhu Ram approached the defendants to get the sale deed executed in the month of January, 2020 but the defendants prolonged the execution of the sale deed as they were demanding money. Before the spread of the Covid- 19 Pandemic in the month of March, 2020, we again approached the defendant for execution of sale deed, but due to the Covid-19 pandemic the same could not be executed. Whenever the plaintiff paid any amount to the defendants, the receipts to this effect were got executed which are Ext. PW-1/C-1 to C-9. All the receipts i.e. Ext. PW-1/C-1 to C-9 bears my and Bikhu's signatures. The defendants who received the payment at the relevant point of time, also signed the above said receipts and the same were got verified and signed by Councilor of Nagar Parished, Ner Chowk. In the month of January, 2020, the defendant had received an amount of Rs.2,00,000/- (Rupees Two Lacs) from the plaintiff without any receipt on the assurance that the sale deed will executed within a short period. In the month of early May, 2020, the plaintiff started to lay the lintel with the permission of the defendants on the property for which the sale deed was to be executed for which the plaintiff had given a contract amounting to Rs.4,50,000/- to the contractor, namely, Hukam Chand. After the laying of the lintel on the disputed property the plaintiff put his lock but thereafter the defendants put their own lock on the said property. On 30th May, 2022, I, Bikhu Ram alongwith the plaintiff visited the house of the defendants for convincing the defendants to get the sale deed -3- executed. Though the defendants have agreed that they had received the money but on the pretext of the Covid pandemic they again prolonged the execution of the sale deed. Thereafter, we went to the Tehsil at Balh, Ner Chowk, where we found that the defendants have taken the loan from the bank and the same has not been returned by them. Thereafter we went to the Indian Overseas Bank, Ner Chowk, where we came to know that the defendants had not repaid their loan which was taken by them against the said property. In spite of the expiry of the date of the execution of the sale deed the defendants the defendants assured that they will get the sale deed executed. On 12 th June, 2020, defendant had received an amount of Rs.14,80,000/- from the plaintiff vide receipt Ext.PW-1/C. Defendant No.3 also used to receive the amount from the plaintiff even after the expiry of the date of the execution of the sale deed as per the agreement. We also visited the Patwari and it was informed by him that the loan amount has not been paid by the defendants due to which there is an entry of the mortgaged is still existing in the revenue record. Marks A and B are the photographs of the property on which lintel was led by the plaintiff. Since the defendants have not executed the sale deed despite taking the money therefore, the plaintiff was constrained to file the present suit xxx Mr. Tara Singh Chauhan, Advocate for defendants xxx I am matriculate and by profession I am an agriculturist and a shopkeeper. My shop of spare parts is at Dador. I have not brought the plaintiff to the defendants. Self stated that since the defendants were inclined their property therefore, I informed the -4- plaintiff about the defendants' intention of selling their property.

I do not know from where the plaintiff arranged the money before paying the same to the defendants to the different intervals. Self stated that the plaintiff had sold his property in the year 2018. I am not a signatory to the agreement, if any, executed by the plaintiff qua his property. I was not present when the plaintiff sold his property and I have not seen the sale deed executed by the plaintiff in the year 2018 qua his property. It is incorrect that in the month of May, 2020, the Corona was at peak and the construction activities were totally banned. Self stated that the people used to do their construction work during that period. I do not know how many labourers were employed by the plaintiff at his site. Self stated that he has given a contract of construction work to a contractor. It is incorrect that on 28.08.2018, the loan of the bank had already been cleared by the defendant Ashok Kumar and on 09.06.2020 defendant Vinod Kumar had also repaid their his loan as well as defendant No.3 had also cleared the loan 31.12.2019 of their respective bank vide Mark-D-1 to D-3. The plaintiff is the Sole Prop. of Santoshi Steel Industry at Ner Chowk. I do not know the bank account details of the plaintiff. It is incorrect that due to the poor financial condition he was not able to pay the entire sale consideration to -5- the defendants. On 30th May, 2020, we have not purchased any stamp papers for the execution of the sale deed. Self stated that since it came to our knowledge that the property was mortgaged, therefore, the execution of the sale deed was not possible. The plaintiff told that he has given a notice to the defendants. I am not aware whether any reply of the notice was given by defendants. It is incorrect that no NOC were provided by the defendants to the plaintiff alongwith the reply to the notice. It is incorrect that the plaintiff was not ready and willing to pay the balance sale consideration due to insufficient funds and has falsely filed the present suit in order to harass the defendants. It is incorrect that I am depositing false today since I am a property dealer and having interest in the transactions. It is incorrect that all the receipts are manipulated subsequently and no financial transaction had taken place.

Paras Doger Registrar (Judicial) 10th March, 2023 (Pritam) Civil Suit No. 27 of 2016 DW-3: Statement of Sh. Sajeev Soni, Chartered Account, Surveyor, aged 62 years, 1047/16, Hari Singh Nalwa Street, Karol Bagh, New Delhi-110005.
On Oath 15.03.2023 The respondent-Insurance company had engaged me in the year 2013 for assessing the loss incurred by the plaintiff-company qua loss of business interruption. Accordingly, I and my Assistant Tilottam Kumar visited the site of the plaintiff company after my engagement by the defendants. I also obtained and verified the record of the plaintiff-
company qua the business loss incurred by the plaintiff-company. Thereafter we verified the record i.e. various balance sheets, production records relating to different periods of the plaintiff-company. On the verification of the various records of the plaintiff-
company, we analyzed and computed the business interruption loss of the plaintiff-company. We also conducted the meetings with the officials of the plaintiff-company before assessing the loss. After Civil Suit No. 27 of 2016 deliberation with the official of the respondent-
accompany and after verifying the record of the plaintiff-company, I prepared the final report Ex DW2/A, which is duly signed by me. After submission of the final report, Ex. DW2/A, the plaintiff-company made a representation for increased cost of working. Subsequently, I issued addendum report Ex. PW1/H . As per the Ex. DW2/A, the net loss was assessed to the tune of Rs.73,52,605/- and in the addendum increased cost of the working was assessed as Rs.5,66,969/-. Therefore, according to my assessment the plaintiff-company is entitled to the total amount Rs.79,19,574/- as full and final settlement towards the loss of business interruption/ profit.
xxxxx By Shri Ajay Vaidya, Advocate for the Plaintiff.
I am associated with the Insurance Company on and w.e.f. 04.02.1987. I am not aware that the plaintiff-company had taken four insurance Civil Suit No. 27 of 2016 policy pertaining to the business loss caused to the plaintiff-company. Self stated that neither the insurer nor the insured provided any policy except the one considered by me while assessing the loss in my survey report. The insurance policy which was provided to me was valid from 04.03.2012 to 03.03.2013. It is correct that the plaintiff-company suffered the loss in the month of February, 2013. It is incorrect that there was any kind of indemnity clause in the insurance company policy to indemnify the plaintiff-company till they achieve the optimum generation. Self stated that the loss of business was technically assessed based on the policy terms and conditions by considering standard production, interruption period, annual production and pre-
indemnity period. It is correct that while assessing the loss I had taken into consideration indemnity period of 91 days. Self stated that abnormal production days of 1.25 days based on the past analysis were reduced and final interruption was taken as 89.75 days. It is Civil Suit No. 27 of 2016 incorrect that as per the policy the indemnity period should have been upto 1st of November, 2013. In my final report I have assessed standard turn over on the basis of terms and conditions of the insurances policy, which means the same period in the last year for the interruption days under this policy, adjusted with trend based on the water flow discharge i.e. monsoon water flow fluctuations. I have not seen the policy wordings in the Court file today and due to non-availability, it is not possible to pinpoint and show the exact clauses of the Insurance-Company. I was aware the indemnity period of the Insurance policy, when the addendum was issued. Self stated that the purpose of issuing addendum was to allow the increased cost of working as claimed by the plaintiff-company subsequently. I am not aware when the company attained the optimum generation after issuance of addendum by me. Self stated that I am not able to understand the word optimum asked by plaintiff-company, since the loss has been assessed under business interruption policy Civil Suit No. 27 of 2016 based on the procedure as required to assess loss of profit losses, such as based on standard production contribution in comparison with the pre-loss period production adjusted based on the interruption period.
It is incorrect that whatever has been stated by me today is contrary to the terms and conditions of the insurance policy as well as the policy wording. It is incorrect that I am deposing false.

Shri Sambhav Bhasin, Advocate for the appellant.
Shri Sanket Sankhyan, Advocate, for respondents No. 1 and 2.
In compliance to the order dated 02.12.2022, of the Hon'ble Court, respondent No. 1 (a) Shri Neelam Singh S/o Late Shri Viren Singh and respondent No.2, Smt. Sheela w/o Viren Singh, has been ordered to furnish the surety bonds to the satisfaction of Registrar General or any other Registrar of this Court.
The above said respondents have filed the surety bond in the Registry on 06.03.2023. However, the perusal of the bond of Shri Neelam Singh shows the head `Surety Bond' but it has been signed by Shri Neelam Singh and therefore, the same is said to be a `Personal Bond' which is duly supported by affidavit of Smt. Sheela w/o Late Viren Singh. There is no surety bond on record.
Further, Smt. Sheela has also filed the personal bond under the head `Surety Bond' but apparently it appears to be `Personal Bond' and the same is duly supported by her own affidavit. As per direction of Hon'ble Court, the surety bonds are required to be furnished by both the FAO No. 268 of 2019 respondents in whose favour the amount has been ordered to be released. Apparently, no surety bonds have been filed in compliance to the orders of the Hon'ble Court. In that eventuality, the order of the Hon'ble Court has not been complied with in letter and spirit, therefore, the bonds furnished by the applicants cannot be attested and accepted.

A perusal of the file shows that two cheques amounting to Rs.1,10,000/- each, had been issued by the petitioner. As per the orders of the Hon'ble Court 5% of the cheques amount was to be deposited with the H.P. State Legal Services Authority, which amounts to Rs.11,000/-. Since as per the receipt, the petitioner has deposited an amount of Rs.10,500/- with the H.P. State Legal Services Authority, therefore, there is a short fall of Rs.500/-.
Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that he will deposit the remaining amount with the H.P. State Legal Services Authority within a week and thereafter, he will produce the receipt qua deposit of the remaining amount i.e. Rs.500/-.

Paras Doger Registrar (Judicial) 10th April, 2022 (Pritam) CMP No. 13640 of 2021 in RSA No. 481 of 2016 AW-3: Statement of Shri Sushil Kumar, S/o Shri Suram Chand, Village and Post Office Ladret, Tehsil Dehra, District Kangra, Himachal Pradesh.
On oath 10.04.2023 Stated that Shri Suram Chand, applicant is my father. I am his General Power of Attorney Holder. I have brought the Original General Power of Attorney today, vide which I have been duly authorized to appear before any Civil/Criminal Court in any matter, related to him or any appeal from Lower Court to Higher Court, since he is about 70 years old and is unable to appear personally. The copy of the General Power of Attorney is Ex.
AW-3/A. I am fully conversant with the facts of the present case. Initially in the Lower Court my father had filed a case regarding encroachment on our land by the non-applicants/appellants. The Trial Court gave the decision in our favour. Thereafter, the present appellants/non-applicants had filed an appeal in the First Appellant Court, which was also dismissed by CMP No. 13640 of 2021 in RSA No. 481 of 2016 the First Appellant Court. Thereafter, the present appellants has filed the appeal before the Hon'ble High Court and vide order dated 17.04.2017, the Court stayed the execution of the impugned judgment and decree passed by the learned Courts below and the parties were directed not to change the nature of the suit land and not to create any encumbrance over the suit land till the final disposal of the main appeal. The copy of the said order is Ex. AW-3/B. On 14.11.2021, Madan Lal, Subhash Chand, Parveen Kumar and Ashwani Kumar (appellants), started to raise construction of the septic tank over Khasra No.44/1 (disputed land) despite the stay order of the Hon'ble High Court. On the said date, they (appellants) have brought JCB machine and started to dig the land. We tried to convenience them not to disobey the order of the Hon'ble High Court but they did not pay any heed to our request and started to quarrel with us. We also showed them stay order of the Hon'ble Court. When CMP No. 13640 of 2021 in RSA No. 481 of 2016 they did not stop, then we went to Pardhan of our Panchayat and submitted a written application Mark-
`A' alongwith the stay order of the Hon'ble High Court. The Pardhan of our Gram Panchayat called the appellants and asked them not to carry out any construction work on the spot. Inspite of the asking of the Pardhan of the Gram Panchayat, the appellants did not stop the construction/digging work. On 15.11.2021, we made an application to ASI Nagrota Surian Mark-`E', and also apprised about the stay order of the Hon'ble High Court by annexing the same with the application. But the Police did not take any action by saying that the matter is pending adjudication in the Court. On 14.11.2021, I also clicked the photographs of the spot from my mobile, which are Mark-F-1 to F-6. Thereafter, we again moved an application before the Hon'ble High Court and vide order dated 23.11.2021, the parties were directed to maintain status quo as of date and further CMP No. 13640 of 2021 in RSA No. 481 of 2016 directed not to raise any construction by any of the parties or to change the nature of the suit land. Inspite of the order dated 23.11.2021, the appellants did not stop and carried out the construction work. I have clicked the photographs, which are Mark-G-1 to G-3.
Thereafter, we again moved another application in the Hon'ble High Court and vide order dated 01.12.2021, the Hon'ble Court directed to provide police assistance and the SHO Police Station Jawali was directed to implement the order of the Court. He was further directed to take the assistance of the Revenue Authority with respect to the land on which the construction is going on. Thereafter, the police personnel from Police Post Nagrota Surian alongwith the Pardhan and Up-Pradhan, visited the spot on 05.12.2021, and showed the orders of the Hon'ble Court to both the parties and directed the parties not to raise any construction. Thereafter, the revenue officials accompanied by the police officials prepared CMP No. 13640 of 2021 in RSA No. 481 of 2016 the spot report Ex- RW-2/A and recorded the statement of the parties, which are Ex.RW-1/A and RW-1/B. The police officials also clicked the photographs on the said date, which are Mark-A and Mark-B. Thereafter, on 16.04.2022, police officials alongwith the revenue officials again visited the spot and prepared the spot report, which is Ex-RW-2/B. The appellants have raised the toilet and bathroom on the disputed land despite the stay orders from the Hon'ble Court. Therefore, they have breached the orders of the Hon'ble Court. After preparing the final report the police official submitted his report in the Hon'ble High Court.
Xxxxx Shri Rahul Thakur, Advocate vice Shri Ramakant Sharma, Advocate.
The disputed land was demarcated by Field Kanungo Shri Bhajan Lal after filing of the present application in the Court. No Local Commissioner was appointed by the Court. Self stated that there was direction from the Hon'ble Court to the police to take CMP No. 13640 of 2021 in RSA No. 481 of 2016 the assistance from the revenue officials. At the time of demarcation, me and my father alongwith the appellants as well as Police and Revenue Officials were present. At the time of demarcation, the revenue officials have also brought the Musabi and accordingly, demarcated the land. It is incorrect that the appellants have raised the construction over their own land and we have unnecessarily filed the complaint against the appellants in order to harass them. It is incorrect that the demarcation has been done by the retired Kanungo.

On oath 10.04.2023 Stated that in the year 2021, I was Pardhan of Gram Panchayat Ludret. On 14.11.2021, the applicants moved an application Mark-D, now Ex.
AW-4/A, before me alongwith the copy of the order dated 17.04.2017 of the Hon'ble High Court. The application Ex.AW-4/A, bears my signature in red circle `A'. Thereafter, I asked the appellants to stop the construction work in view of the orders of the Hon'ble High Court. However, the appellants told me that where they are raising construction is not a disputed land and there is no stay order qua the disputed land as mentioned in the application of the applicants. When the Police visited the spot they called me. I alongwith Up-Pardhan, visited the spot and at that time both the parties were present there.
The police officials requested the appellants to stop CMP No. 13640 of 2021 in RSA No. 481 of 2016 the construction work but the appellants straight way refused. I again visited the spot second time when the police alongwith revenue officials visited the spot in the year 2022. We called both the parties on the spot but none of the parties came to the spot. The revenue officials demarcated the land and the police officials clicked the photographs of the spot and prepared the report.

The demarcation was conducted by the revenue officials in my presence. At that time Field Kanungo, Patwari and Revenue Chowkidar were present alongwith the police officials.

It is correct that at the time of demarcation in the year 2022, none CMP No. 13640 of 2021 in RSA No. 481 of 2016 of the parties came to the spot, despite calling them by the police officials.

Paras Doger Registrar (Judicial) 26th April, 2022 (Pritam) It is submitted in the news clipping that matter relating to cast based discrimination has came into light in Chikhar School at Shimla. In the month of December, a complaint has been made by the Principal of the School to the Deputy Director but no action had been taken.
That this incident has come into the light when a lower caste (Dalit) lady was appointed as mid-day-meal worker in the school. Out of 40 children, only 20 children used to have lunch and the other 20 children don't take lunch prepared by the said lady. As per the news clipping there are two mid-day-meal worker in the School and when the food is cooked by the other workers then all the children used to have food.
That during lunch, the children were asked to sit separately. As per the local inhabitants the same arrangement is applicable to the Primary School also. Though the matter was raised before the department but no action had been taken till date. The teachers who had raised this issue have been transferred to some other school.

That schools are sacred places and such type of incidents in the school is intolerable, which gives a wrong message regarding teaching of discrimination between the children CMP No. of 2021 in RSA No. 111 of 2017 AW-1: Statement of Shri Surinder PalS/o Shri Mohan Singh aged 57 years R/o Mona Video Shop No. 15 Gandhi Chowk Mandi Town, District Mandi, Himachal Pradesh.

On oath 18.05.2023 Stated that I have brought the summoned record today. On 15.08.2021, a telephonic information was received in the Police Post Karchham from Mrs. Subodh Bisht, W/o Shri Tejwant Singh. At the same time one another telephonic complaint was received from Shri Rohan Bisht, pertaining to the same incident. Shri Subodh Bisht had made a complaint that Smt. Man Dasi was not allowing her to pluck the apple from her orchard. Rohan Bisht also made a complaint that Mrs. Subodh Bisht and her children, namely Shubham and Ashwarya are misbehaving with his mother and they are also stealing the apples from their orchard. Accordingly, I alongwith Head Constable Suresh Kumar and Constable Rahul visited the spot. On inquiry, Mrs. Subodh Bisht disclosed that she and her labour were plucking apples from her orchard but Smt. Man Dasi restrained her and her labour from plucking the apples by pelting stones on them and using sticks. Mrs. Subodh Bisht further disclosed that on the nine apples trees, adjacent to her house, Shri Rokinder Bisht has imbibed letter `R' and claiming those trees to him.
She further disclosed that she had plucked 35 apple Crates from those nine trees. Thereafter, I made an inquiry from Smt. Man Dasi on which she disclosed that the nine trees adjacent to the house belongs to her and Smt. Subodh Bisht is plucking the apples illegally from those trees. I also made an inquiry from Pardhan Gram Panchayat Kilba (Shri Shankar Bhagat), who was also present on the spot at that time. The Pradhan Gram Panchayat disclosed that the said orchard is in the co-ownership of three brother, namely Laxman Singh, Rajwant and Tejwant Singh. He further disclosed that it not possible to ascertain which particular trees belong to which co-owner. Thereafter, I called the concerned Patwari to the spot for spot verification. The Patwari also disclosed that the said orchard is in the co-ownership of the aforesaid three brothers and it is difficult to ascertain which particular chunk of land and trees belong to which co-owner.
Both the parties disclosed to me that a Civil Suit is going on between the parties and status quo order has been ordered to be maintained by the Court. There are about 500-600 trees on the said orchard. As per the parties, the trees which were down side Doghari (house in the orchard), belongs to Tejwant Singh and the trees up side the Doghari belongs to Rajwant Singh. The dispute was pertaining to nine trees which were at the level of the Doghari. On the spot, I received a telephonic call from Police Post that Rokinder Singh had filed a written complaint pertaining to this dispute in the Police Post. To that effect a GD entry No.11 dated 15.08.2021, Ex.
AW1/A. was entered. Thereafter, I requested both the parties to maintain peace and prepared a Kalandra under Section 107 and 150 Cr.PC. On that day in the morning hours, Smt. Subodh Bisht had also brought two witnesses i.e. former Pardhan of the Gram Panchayat Shri Kuldip Singh and one Advocate Shri Sat Pal.

The Rapat Number of the complaint of Smt. Subodh is Rapat No.10, dated 15.08.2021, It is incorrect that I went to the spot to inquire the Rapat No.10 of Smt. Subodh Bisht. It is correct that when I was on the spot pertaining to the inquiry of Rapat No.10, then Rapat No.11 was entered at Police Post, Karchham. Rohan Bisht was not on the spot at the time when I visited the spot. I did not made any inquiry as to ascertain where the Rohan Bisht was at that relevant time. Shri Rohan Bisht is Assistant District Attorney in the Prosecution Department. It is incorrect that on the asking of Shri Rohan Bisht, we have entered Rapat No.11 in the Police Post Karchham. I had sent the Kalandra under Section 107 and 150 Cr.PC to SDM Office, Reckongpeo. I am not aware of the status of the said case today, since I have been transferred from that place. It is incorrect that I am deposing false.

I alongwith Shri Ram Lal visited that building where Shri Ashok Kumar was also present at that time. Shri Ram Lal asked me to do certain construction work in that building whereby I asked Shri Ashok Kumar whether he has any objection qua making the construction work in that building, then Shri Ashok Kumar told me that he has no objection, if the construction work is carried out in that building by me, as Shri Ashok Kumar had already sold that building to Shri Ram Lal. I entered into an agreement verbally with Shri Ram Lal to lay the lentil after demolition of the old lentil and to lay the rough floor, for an amount of Rs.4,50,000/-, which includes labour and materials. I started the work in the last week of April 2020, and completed the entire work in last week of May, 2020.

On Oath 03.10.2023 State that I am Director of Andaz Resort at Kaithalighat, Solan. Vide Board resolution dated 15.02.2016, Ex.PW2/A, (original seen and returned). The plaintiff Resort had entered into a lease for the period of five years vide lease agreement Ex.PW2/B-1 with the defendant No.1 on 24.01.2014. As per the agreement the lease was for the period of five years and the lease amount was Rs.21,00,000/- (Rs. Twenty one lacs only) per annum. At the time of entering into the lease agreement an amount of Rs.1,00,000/- (Rs. One lac) as token money was handed over to defendant No.1 through cheque. The second cheque dated 01.02.2014 amounting to Rs. 9,50,000/- (Rs. Nine lacs fifty thousand) was also handed over to the defendant No.1 (Chaman Lal) as per the lease agreement. Third cheque dated 30.06.2014, amounting to Rs.10,50,000/- (Rs. Ten lacs fifty thousand) was again handed over to defendant No.1 in compliance to the lease agreement. Till July 2015, the plaintiff-Resort paid total amount of Rs.40,60,000/- (Rs. Forty lacs sixty thousand) which includes Rs.3,90,000/- as TDS amount for the period of two years. Last TDS amount of Rs.1,80,000/- was paid by the plaintiff to defendant No.1 account on 31.03.2016. We have entered into the lease agreement with the defendant No.1 for the purpose of running the Hotel in the premises. Thereafter, we make certain minor renovations in the premises and purchases for running the Hotel business. We make changes in the washroom fittings, beddings, installed CCTV cameras, computers and purchased utensils etc. We spent about Rs.10,25,000/- lacs (Rs. Ten lacs and twenty five thousand) for the aforesaid purchases and changes. Bills pertaining to the above said purchases were in the Hotel record maintained by the plaintiff. The plaintiff run the above said Hotel till July, 2015. We conducted the business of about one crorer ten lacs in the first lease year and about fifty lacs uptil July, 2015. The plaintiff remained in the possession of the Hotel till October, 2015. On 17.10.2015, I received a phone call from our General Manager of the Hotel Late Shri Vijay Sarswat on which I alongwith my husband, brother (Shri Deepak Sharma) and my two children, visited the leased property at Manali on 18.10.2015, but the defendant No.1 did not allow us to enter the premises inspite of the subsistence of the lease agreement. Thereafter, we approached the Police Station at Manali, District Kullu, H.P., and the police called defendant No.1 at Police Station, Manali. The police advised us to settle the matter between ourselves as it is of civil nature. Defendant No.1 assured in the presence of the police to resolve the matter amicably but the defendant No.1 was not inclined to settle the matter, so they did not allow us to enter the premises or to come to any settlement. As per terms of the lease agreement the plaintiff was entitled to construct the attic on the top floor of the Hotel premises and also to install the Generator. The plaintiff could not construct the attic as the defendant did not allow us to do so. Moreover, the defendant could not show any permissions from the authorities qua construction of attic and installation of the Generator. Defendant No.1 from June 2015 started to insist the plaintiff for increasing the lease amount. The defendant also pressurize the plaintiff to give some amount for raising the attic on the top floor of the Hotel. We did not acceded to the demands of defendant No.1. After receiving the advance of the lease amount in July 2015, the defendant No.1 started to obstruct the smooth functioning of the Hotel business by taking the raw material etc., inside the Hotel for raising the fifth floor, due to which the customers of the Hotel were feeling inconvenient as the bookings were being cancelled and the plaintiff started suffer losses. Plaintiff repeatedly requesting defendant No.1 to stop causing nuisance but he did not pay any heed to the requests of the plaintiff. Thereafter, on 16.09.2015 defendant No.1 sent a notice to the plaintiff to which the reply has been sent which is mark `A'. In the reply the plaintiff again requested the defendant to show the permission from the concerned authorities for allowing the plaintiff to raise the attic etc. All the business correspondence regarding booking and the accounts of the said business are being maintained by me on the computer. The copies of the mails regarding the bookings are being annexed as Ex.PW2/C (colly. 97 leaves). (Objected to on the mode of proof). The copy of ledger account is Ex.PW2/D (colly. 19 leaves) (Objected to on the mode of proof). The certificate under Section 65 of the Indian Evidence Act., qua maintaining the above said mails and ledger account is Ex.PW2/E. The plaintiff use to file the income tax return pertaining to the business income of the plaintiff resort through our Charted Accountant Shri Surinder Babbar. Till when the plaintiff remain in possession of the leased premises all the taxes and bills were being paid by the plaintiff. Due to the discontinuation of the lease agreement by the defendant No.1, the plaintiff-Resort suffered an amount of about Rs.84,00,000/- (Rs. Eighty four lacs) and also has to loose its good will.

On Oath 04.10.2023 State that I am posted as DFO Kotgarh from 15th May, 2023. I have brought the relevant record today. As per the available record the then DFO had put in all the efforts to execute of the decree of the Hon'ble Court which was in Civil Suit No. 85 of 1999. As per the order of Court the assessment of the value of the improvement made on the suit land was to be carried out by the official or approved evaluator at the time of eviction. In 2013 the then DFO requested to Director Horticulture to make assessment as per above said judgment. After that Horticulture Development Officer Narkanda, submitted the assessment value Mark `A' and the total value assessed value was Rs, 5,46,018/- (Rs. Five lacs forty six thousand and eighteen). As per the record Horticulture Development Officer assessed the value on the basis of Harbans Singh formula. After this various correspondences took place between the Forest Department and the Revenue Department and expenditure sanction of Rs. 5,46,018/- was received from Additional Chief Secretary (Forest) on dated 24.08.2018. As per record, Legal heirs of Shri Vishwa Dev (plaintiff/DH) were requested to attend the office of DFO Kotgarh on dated 12.12.2018, 18.01.2019 and 16.03.2019.

They were shown the evaluation report, Mark `A', submitted by Horticulture Development Officer and they were further requested to provide Bank details of the legal heirs of DH so that the said assessed value could be deposited in their Bank Accounts. But no such details were not furnished on 18.01.2019. Later two cheques bearing No. 349355 and bearing No. 349356, dated 27.03.2019 amounting Rs.2,73,009/- each were sent to the legal heirs vide letter dated 27.03.2019. Both the cheques were returned by the daughters/LRs of the DH through Registered Post to DFO office Kotgarh vide Registered letter dated 15.05.2019 and the same were received in the office of DFO Kotgarh on 22.05.2019. Therefore, there is no lapse on the part of the respondent to execute the decree dated 01.12.2004, passed by the Hon'ble High Court of Himachal Pradesh in Civil Suit No. 85 of 2019.
xxx xxx xxx by Shri Hamender Singh Chandel, Advocate, for DH.
As per the record the suit land was allotted as Nautor land to Shri Vishwa Dev (DH). I do not know in the complaint against the Vishwa Dev pertaining to the said allotment the State of Himachal Pradesh has supported the claim of the DH in the Hon'ble High Court as well as in the Hon'ble Supreme Court. It is correct that the said allotment was made to the DH by the Revenue Department. It is correct that in Civil Suit No. 85 of 1999 the Revenue Department was party. I do not know when the Nautor land was allotted to DH. I do not know the classification of the land, ownership and possession of the said land at the time of allotment. Self stated that as per the record of Forest Department the said land is un-demarcated protected forest (UPF). I have not seen the revenue record pertaining to 1973 when the said allotment was made. As per the record before making the evaluation of the said land the site was visited by the Forest and Revenue officials. As per the record the site was visited on 18.06.2014 by Horticulture Development Officer Shri Begh Ram and other Forest and Revenue officials. The designation of the officials of the Revenue Department is not on record. There is no record that intimation qua the visit of the official on 18.06.2014 was given to the legal heirs of the plaintiff/DH. Self stated that there was no such condition in the order of the Hon'ble High Court. When the husbands of the daughters of the DH visited the office of the DFO on 18.01.2019, the note sheet pertaining to the proceeding was prepared and the same were got signed by the parties who were present on that day. The said noting is Ex. DX. It is correct that I am deposing today on the basis of record and I have not personally dealt with the case. It is incorrect that the respondents has failed to comply the order of the Hon'ble Court in letter and spirit and the evaluation report had been made on the lower side in connivance with the Horticulture Department.

Revenue entry is made in the revenue documents pertaining to structure and nature of the land at the time settlement if structure is found on the spot at that relevant time.
xxx xxx xxx by Shri Hamender Singh Chandel, Advocate, for DH.
The nautor land was allotted to DH in the year 1982. I do not know the state was supporting the claim of the DH in the Court proceedings. It is incorrect that the nautor land was allotted to the DH in the year 1974. As per record the nautor land was classified as Banjar Kadeem-Charagah- Billa Darkhtaan in the year 1974. As per record there were Bartandari rights of the villagers in the said land. Copy of the mutation (Intkaal) dated 16.02.1982 is Ex. DY. The intimation qua association of DH of the spot visit was given to the DH. The record to that effect is not available today with me but I can produce the same later on. As per the record Ex. DY in column of the ownership State of Himachal Pradesh has been mentioned and there is no entry of the Forest Department in the column of ownership as well as possession. It is correct that the revenue department has to identify the boundary of the suit land when the visit was made by the official of the Horticulture and Forest Department.

Paras Doger Registrar (Judicial) 13th October, 2023 (Pritam) Civil Suit No. 128 of 2012 16.10.2023 DW-3: Statement of Sh. P. Arun Kumar, aged about 71 years R/o 1/8, Seema Society N Dutta Road, IV Bunglows, Andheri West, Mumbai-400053.
On Oath 16.10.2023 Stated that I was Managing Director of the Defendant-Company at the relevant time. The defendant started the Company in the year 2000 for providing services to the telecom companies. Around 2005, the defendant want to extend their business so the company purchased a land at upper Nangal Village at Nalagarh, District Solan to set up tower manufacturing there. The copy of jamabandi is annexed with Rent Deed Ex. PW1/D. The plaintiff was introduced to me by one of our common friend at Chandigarh as the plaintiff-firm were doing the business of selling the scientific instruments in the market. The plaintiffs- firm also want to expend their business at Baddi- Nalagarh (Industrial Area). Accordingly, the plaintiff- firm took on rent a portion of our shed constructed on our land at Nalagarh, which was about 500 Sq. Mtrs. To that effect Rent Deed PW1/D was executed between the plaintiff-firm and the defendant company. However, the plaintiff-firm occupied more area i.e. about 800 Sq. Mtrs., in contravention to the terms of the agreement. The demarcation to that effect was got Civil Suit No. 128 of 2012 conducted by the defendant-company from one Shri Shivam Karol, (Architect). As per the agreement Ex.PW1/D, the period of the Rent Deed was for five years commencing from 20.11.2007 to 19.11.2012 and the agreed rent was Rs.41,000/- per month. The defendant-company was planning to manufacture telecom towers for telecom company in that shed at Nalagarh. Two activities were involved in that process which were fabrication of material and galvanization of the said material. However, due to limited finance resources of the defendant-company, the defendant- company restricted its activity qua fabrication of the material and wanted to outsource the process of galvanization of the material to some other agency. The plaintiff-firm was interested in the galvanization of the material so the defendant after due diligence and discussion agreed to the proposal of the plaintiff-firm. The defendant company also discussed the modalities of the activities and processes with the plaintiff-firm. It was agreed between the parties that galvanization if given to the plaintiff-firm would be on job contract basis. Meaning thereby that in case the defendant- company would get the order for fabrication, it would be given for galvanization to the plaintiff-firm and the plaintiff firm would have the right to undertake outside job of the other companies, if the plaintiff-firm still Civil Suit No. 128 of 2012 having spare capacity available with them to do that. The said understanding was for a particular activity i.e., galvanization and even it was agreed between the parties i.e. landlord and the tenant that how the movement of the material would take place in the premises. Subsequently, due to 2G scams in the telecom sector as well as bleak prospects in the telecom sector, no orders were placed/received by the defendant-company due to which no work was being done by the defendant-company and no assignment was given for galvanization to the plaintiff-firm by the defendant-company. The plaintiff-firm also could not commission the galvanizing plant and they also could not take orders from other customers as well. Since the period of the agreement was only for five years, in November 2012, with an intention of not paying the rent and gain time the plaintiff-firm filed a frivolous suit against the defendant-company and obtained the ex-parte stay order from the Hon'ble Court. The plaintiff-firm is still occupying the said premises un- authorizedly from the execution of the rent agreement and have not paid the rent till date, which the defendant company is legally entitled to. Alongwith the written statement, the defendant-company had also filed the Counter Claim for an amount @ Rs.1,00,000/- per Civil Suit No. 128 of 2012 month since the tenancy was terminated by efflux of time in November, 2012. The defendant-company is, thus also entitled for use and occupation charges from November 2012 onwards till date from the plaintiff- firm.
xxx xxx xxx Shri Nitin Thakur, Advocate, for the plaintiff.
It is correct that the defendant-company entered into memorandum of understanding with the plaintiff-firm on 05.12.2007. It is correct that as per the memorandum of understanding the galvanization work was to be assigned to the plaintiff-firm. Self stated that the said work was to be assigned to the plaintiff-firm if the defendant-company would get the order for tower supply. It is correct that before galvanization process is assigned to the plaintiff-firm, there are certain processes which were required to be done on behalf of the defendant-company. It is incorrect that the defendant- company had failed to do the needful on their part and subsequently, started to raise lame excuses for not assigning the galvanization work to the plaintiff-firm. Self stated that the towers are required to be manufactured on the need basis of the customers and since no order were placed, therefore, no work was being done on the part of the defendant-company. It is incorrect that the plaintiff-company had to earn Civil Suit No. 128 of 2012 approximately Rs.5.5 crores profit from the work of galvanization. I do not know for the purpose of setting up galvanization plant, the plaintiff-firm had spent about two corers. It is incorrect that since the plaintiff- firm had already spent about two crorers due to which the defendant-company had entered into an agreement EX. PW1/F. Self stated that the agreement Ex. PW1/F was pertaining to separate path to the plaintiff-firm and it has nothing to do with anything else. Letter dated 20.06.2010, 08.04.2011 (Mark `C'), 16.06.2011 (Mark `D'), 18.12.2011 (Mark `E'), are the photocopies and without seeing the original copies, I could not identify the alleged signatures on the above said documents. It is incorrect that in the above said letters, the defendant- company had admitted for deferring the rent of plaintiff-firm. It is incorrect that since the parties have mutually agreed for the deferment of the rent since the signing of the rent agreement Ex.PW1/D, as such there arises no question of counter claim. It is incorrect that due to the lack of willingness and non-execution of the work on the part of the defendant-company, the plaintiff firm had suffered losses. It is incorrect that the defendant-company was duty bound to honour the terms of the agreement Ex.PW1/F. Self stated that the defendant-company never stopped the movement of the goods of the plaintiff-firm and the path is still available Civil Suit No. 128 of 2012 for them as of date. It is incorrect that since the defendant-company have not complied with the terms of the agreement Ex.PW1.F, therefore, the plaintiff-firm is entitled to Rupees Eight crores from the defendant- company. It is incorrect that I am deposing false.

Panjehara, Tehsil Nalagarh, District Solan, H.P. On Oath 10.11.2023 Stated that I have entered into an agreement for sale with the plaintiffs qua sale of the land measuring 335 bighas. Out of the total land of 335 Bhigas I had entered into an agreement with the plaintiff to sell 220 Bhigas @ Rs. 2,80,000/- per Bigha. The parties to the agreement had agreed that the registry of the aforesaid land is to be executed within one month from the date of agreement initially qua 50 Bhigas of the land. The plaintiffs before entering into the agreement to sale verified all the Revenue documents from the Revenue Authorities. The plaintiffs also met personally with the land owners who were agreed to sell their land pursuant to the agreement. In spite of agreement to sell the plaintiffs did not adhere to the terms of the agreement and the sale deed was not registered by the plaintiffs. Therefore, they have been fully breach the terms and conditions of the agreement. I personally met the plaintiffs and requested for the execution of the sale deed but the plaintiffs did not pay any heed to my request. The plaintiffs had forged first page of the agreement to sell Ex. PW8/A and thereby change the terms and conditions of the agreement. The plaintiffs in the first page of the agreement Ex. PW8/A has averred that the entire land belongs to me however, I have also entered into the agreement to sell with the other co-owner of the land who had agreed to sell the land to the plaintiffs. Again stated that in the first page of the agreement the plaintiff has changed the wording that the seller has purchased about 220 Bhigas of the land from various land owners through registered sale deed for which mutation No. 700 had been sanctioned in his favour on 7.5.2007 out of the entire land. In fact, as stated above I had also entered into an agreement to sell with the other owners of the land who had interested to sell the land to the plaintiffs. I repeatedly requested the plaintiffs to get the sale deed executed, but they intentionally and willfully did not executed the sale deed and as they were not ready and willing to perform their part of the agreement from the very initiation. I am ready to perform my part of the agreement as of today as per the prevailing market price. The plaintiff has filed a false case against me without any basis, as I am always ready and willing to sell the property as per the agreement.

On oath 23.11.2023 Stated that the land in dispute belongs to me and my brothers. My dispute pertaining to the land in lis is with LRs of Tej Ram. We had filed a Civil Suit against Shri Tej Ram in the Court of Civil Judge (Senior Division), L&S at Kullu, which was decreed in our favour. Thereafter, the other party filed an appeal before the Court of District Judge Kullu, which was also dismissed. Thereafter, Tej Ram filed the Second appeal in the High Court, which is pending adjudication. The High Court initially granted the stay order in the present appeal vide order dated 08.11.2013, which was subsequently confirmed on 26.12.2013. In order dated 08.11.2013, the the High Court directed parties to the lis to maintain status quo qua nature and possession of the suit land. Inspite of the stay order from the High Court Tej Ram got the disputed land demarcated from the Revenue department and sought the permission from the Forest Department for cutting the trees. Thereafter, I filed an application CMP No. 16333 of 2014, which was disposed of as infructuous on 24.04.2015 as contemnor had died. I had also filed another application for the stay before the High Court, which was registered as CMP No. 16334 of 2014. In the reply to the application CMP No. 16333 of 2014, the contemnor in his reply had OMP(M) No. 42 of 2016 in RSa No. 4272 of 2013 also tendered the apology. After the death of Tej Ram his LRs handed over the possession of the suit property to M/s Gour Hydro Power Project, Private Limited. Inspite of our resistence not to hand over the possession to the Power Project, they handed over the possession to Gour Hydro Power Project. Thereafter, we issued notice Ex. AW1/A to Gour Hydro Power Project, since they had constructed the road on the suit land and the debris were thrown in the adjoining land, which belongs to us. The Power Project had started to construct the road in the suit land on 17.09.2016. Therafter, I again filed the present application under order 39 Rule 2-A CPC for disobeying the orders of the Court by the respondents. In the said application the High Court appointed one Local Commissioner, namely Smt. Aruna Chauhan, Advocate. Local Comissioner visited the spot and thereafter filed her report Ex.

Stated that I am working as Secretary with Hon'ble Ms. Justice Jyotsna Rewal Dua, J., since 201. I do not remember about this particular case nor I am aware that any record pertaining to this case was handed over to me. The draft judgment might have been given to me by Shri Yashwant Singh, Private Secretary to me which might have been handed over by me to the Hon'ble Judge as per the general practice. Further, no record pertaining to this case nor of any case is/was being handed over to the Secretary by the Private Secretaries/ Judgment Writers/ Stenographers, when the draft judgment is handed over to the Secretary RO & AC (Paras Doger) Registrar (Judicial) 18th December, 2023 (Pritam) CMP(M)ST No. 7519 of 2019 in RSA AW-1 Statement of Shri Bhup Singh S/o Shri Chimna Ram aged about 66 R/o of Village House No. 352 of 11, Muhalla Thanera (Tarna, Tehsil and District Mandi, Himachal Pradesh.
On Oath 18.12.2023 Stated that I am residing in the above stated address since last 40 years. However, I have purchased the land on which I have built the house have been purchased by me in the year 1989 from Shri Janku Ram. At the time of purchasing the land Shri Janku Ram informed me that the path to my land leads from the Govt. land having Khasra No. 1570, which is in front of my land. I came to know about the decision of the Civil Suit No. 42 of 2007, filed by Shri Janku against the State of Himachal Pradesh in February 2019. When the LRs of the Janku started to restrain the path which leads to my house. The said path also leads to other part of the Mohalla where 15.20 houses are situated. When the LRs of Janku started to restrain the above said path then I inquired from them about the cause of restraining the path then they informed that the land in dispute is owned by them and we do not have any right on that land. Thereafter, I approach the revenue and other authorities for restraining the LRs of Janku but nothing had happened. Thereafter, I inquired about the litigation as well as how the LRs of Janku have become the owner of the Govt. land from where our path leads to our houses. On 18.03.2019, I came to Shimla and consulted my Advocate at Shimla, who advised us to obtain the certified CMP(M)ST No. 7519 of 2019 in RSA copies of the Lower Courts. On 18.04.2019 I again visited our Advocate at Shimla and handed over the certified copies of the judgments of the Lower Courts. Thereafter, we again came to Shimla on 22.04.2019, on which date we signed the appeal and accompanied applications. Thereafter, the present appeal was filed by our Advocate on 23.04.2019. Even in the year 2016, the Municipal Committee, Mandi, also laid tiles on the path which leads to our houses and at that time no objection was raised by any party. Any delay in filing the appeal is neither intentional nor willful but due to the aforementioned reason as we were not made party by Shri Janku in the Civil Suit or the First Appellate Court.
xxx xxx Mr. H.S. Rana Advocate, for non- applicant-respondent.
There is no reference in the sale deed of my land, however, the seller (Janku) had verbally told me about the path which leads to our houses from Govt. land. I was not aware in the year 2016 that LRs of the Janku had become the owner of the said land. There is no other path, which leads to our houses except the present one. It is incorrect that other path also leads to our house from other directions. It is incorrect that I was well aware about the civil litigation between Janku and the State of Himachal Pradesh since 2007. It is incorrect that I was also aware about the judgments of both the Lower Courts. It is incorrect that I am deposing false and just to harass the non-applicant-respondent I have filed the present appeal.
CMP(M)ST No. 7519 of 2019 in RSA It is incorrect that I do not have any right title or interest on the said land. It is incorrect that there exists no path on the said land.

I know the land in dispute between the parties and when in the year 2016 the tiles were laid on the path at Khasra No. 1570, by Municipal Committee then none of the parties raised any objection from laying the tiles on the path. I have seen the said path since my birth and as of date I am 56 years old. I was not aware about any civil litigation between Janku and the State of Himachal Pradesh. I came to know about the ownership of the LRs of Janku in the year 2019, when they started to remove the tiles and raise their plot on the disputed land. The photographs Mark A-1 to A-8 are of the same path which leads to the house of the present applicant and other residents of the area.

It is correct that one other Kachha path leads to the houses of the present applicant from Tarna Mandir side, which is about two Kms. in length. However, the present path in dispute is hardly 15 meters in length. These days the applicants are coming from the path which is coming from Tarna Mandir side through private CMP(M)ST No. 7519 of 2019 in RSA property of one Shri Inder Singh Diwan. I was not aware about the ownership of the LRs of Janku in the year 2016, when the Municipal Committee led the tile on the said path. I do not inquire before laying the tiles about the ownership of the said land in dispute. It is incorrect that there is no right or title of the applicants in the disputed land. It is incorrect that the above said photographs are not of the same path in dispute. It is incorrect that I am deposing false under the influence of the present applicant since they belong to my ward.

Civil litigation was going on between my husband and Nanak Chand which ultimately came to the High Court and Shri Nanak Chand has filed a Regular Second Appeal No. 703 of 2012 in the High Court. In that RSA compromise decree was passed by the Hon'ble High Court on 16.10.2016, which is Ex. AW2/B. The said compromise decree was passed on the basis of terms of the settlement Ex. AW2/C arrived at between the parties. After the compromise decree we left 3.5 feet path in favour of Nanak Chand for their use and raised fencing on the other part of the land. But Nanak Chand alongwith his wife, son and daughter-in-law uprooted the fencing raised by us and threw it in our street (Gali). They also used filthy language to us and the said incidence had happened after 15-16 days of the passing of the order by the Hon'ble High Court. They also use to scatter garbage in the suit land and had gathered heap of stones on the said land. The respondent has also raised a room on the path which was left by us for their use. The respondents do not allow us to use the disputed land. The respondents are not adhering to the terms of settlement as well as the orders of the Court. Thereafter, my husband served a notice Ex. AW2/D (objected to on the mode of proof) to Shri Nanak Chand through his Advocate. But inspite of the notice the respondents did not stop the interference in the disputed land. Since the respondents are not adhering to the order of the Hon'ble Court, therefore, my husband constrained to file this Contempt Petition in the Hon'ble Court. I have also clicked the photographs Mark A-1 to A-7 from my mobile. The respondents are willfully and intentionally disobeying the order of the Hon'ble Court to harass us.

(Pritam Singh) Court Secretary 12.01.2023 Assistant Registrar (GAD) Civil Suit No. 37 of 2013 DW-4 Statement of Shri Mandeep Sandhu, S/o Shri S.S. Sandhu, aged 65 years, R/o R-5, Greater Kailash Part-I, New Delhi-48.
On Oath 27.02.2024 Stated that defendant No.1, i.e. Bhangoo & Company is a partnership firm comprises two partners, namely Futuristic Solutions Limited & Futuristic Remedies Limited and I am a Director in both these Companies. Bhangoo & Company was formed in October 2004, and they successfully bid for the auction of suit property. They were successful bidders held in the auction on 30.10.2004. Subsequently on 17th of January, 2005, the recovery officer DRT-II, Chandigarh, issued letter of sale/sale certificate in favour of defendant No.1. Thereafter, someone from the public appealed against the said auction and vide order dated 30th March, 2005, the Presiding Officer of DRT Chandigarh annulled the auction in favour of defendant No.1. Thereafter, nine existing partners of Defendant No.1-Firm contacted me and against monies received by them agreed to transfer the firm i.e. Defendant No.1 to the above said two companies i.e. Defendant Nos. 6 and 7. For this purpose on 3rd May, 2005 an admission-cum-retirement deed Ex. DW4/A-1, was executed and in this four of the existing partners retired and defendants No. 6 and 7 were included as partners. Thereafter, on 4th May, 2005, another admission- cum-retirement deed Mark-1, now Ex. DW4/A-2, was executed vide which remaining other five partners also retired, thus, leaving defendant No.6 and 7, the sole partners of Bhangoo & Company. Thereafter, Defendant No.1, approached the DRAT New Delhi against the order dated 30.03.2005, passed by the DRT, Chandigarh challenging cancellation of the auction/sale and the DRAT on 29th November, 2005 set aside the order dated 30.03.2005 and upheld the auction/sale in favour of defendant No.1 and directed to handover the possession of the suit property to defendant No.1. Thereafter, defendant No.1, approached the DIC Baddi, District Solan for the mutation of the said property in favour of defendant No.1. Defendant No.1 was informed by DIC Baddi that since the sale letter dated 17.01.2005, contained the names of nine partners of defendant No.1, therefore, the mutation in favour of defendant No.1 with now just two partners i.e. defendant Nos. 6 and 7 will entail first mutating the property in favour of those nine partners and then transferring it to the two partners, which each time entail extra cost. This process of payment of double fee appeared bizzared to defendant No.1 and they continued to liase with the department to transfer the suit property in favour of defendant No.1 having two partners. Some time in February 2012, Mr. Gaurav Rajput the authorized representative of the Plaintiff-Company alongwith a broker Mr. Manu Sharma contacted me and made an offer to purchase the suit property. Mr. Gaurav represented that he was well up with the department as well as the political establishment of the State and that he would resolve the issue of mutation or anything else at his own cost. The deal made was for Rs.1.5 Crores in addition to the aforesaid "on as is where is basis". The agreement Ex. PW3/B in this regard was executed on 11.04.2012. For this purpose Mr. Gaurav Rajput had paid me Rs.50,000/- cash earlier as a token money and Rs. 18,00,000/- (Rs. eighteen lacs) by way of a Cheque favouring defendant No.7, dated 11.04.2012. The said cheque bounced twice for want of sufficient funds. I have brought the original returned cheque alongwith return memo of the Bank. Mr. Gaurav Rajput on my pursuance subsequently transferred Rs.18,00,000/- (Rs. Eighteen lacs only) by way of RTGS on 19.04.2012 from a company called Countryside Agro Produce Pvt. Ltd. Mr. Gaurav Rajput also transferred Rs.15,06802/- on 11.04.2012 and Rs. 15,06,803/- on 12.04.2012 (total amounting to Rs. 30,13,605/-) vide two RTGSs transaction in our company Diana Eurochem Pvt. Ltd., and he paid a sum of Rs. 1,36,395/- in cash to me. The total amount paid therefore, comes to Rs.50,00,000/- (Rs. Fifty lacs). The last date of balance payment and execution of sale deed after him having completed the process of mutation was fixed as 10.05.2012. Mr. Gaurav Rajput, after this got into his act of attempting to sought out the departmental issues with regard to the suit property. However, despite his perceived connections did not get the clearance regarding sanction of mutation from the concerned department. He too was confronted with the payments of large amounts, which probably was not part of his plan. By now, he had become reasonably friendly with me and orally sought more time to execute the documents and also requested if I could check with my Lawyers or anybody else for the departmental clearances. He continued to be in touch regarding any development on this count, but I was unable to get hold of any advice for him. On 7th February, 2013, Mr. Gaurav Rajput visited my office at Delhi and discussed this issue thread bare and finally decided to call off the deal. It was then agreed that defendant No.1, will refund Rs. 32,00,000/- and Rs. 18,00,000/- will be forfeited in favour of defendant No.1. An amount of Rs.32,00,000/- was paid to Mr. Gaurav Rajput in cash vide two receipts amounting to Rs.30,13,605/- and Rs.1,36,395/-. The copies of receipt amounting to Rs.1,36,395/- Mark `B' is now Ex. DW-4/B. I have brought both the original receipts today in the Court. I had agreed to this settlement as I did not want any problems later and the fact that Mr. Gaurav Rajput was agreeable on forfeiture of Rs.18,00,000/-. After this transaction of refund took place, Mr. Gaurav Rajput changed his stance and started bringing hoodlums to our office in New Delhi. A complaint Ex. DW-4/C, in this regard was also filed with the local police at Delhi by my staff as on that day I was not present in the office (original seen and returned). (Objected to on the mode of proof). In the meanwhile, seeing over a period of time Mr. Gaurav Rajput was not having funds/influence as claimed by him, the defendant No.1, moved an application for amendment of the sale certificate dated 17.01.2005, before DRT-I, Chandigarh, incorporating defendants No. 6 and 7 as partners in defendant No.1 in place of above stated old nine partners. The DRT-I, Chandigarh, vide order dated 17.12.2012, Ex.DW-1/A, passed the order and deleted the old partners and issued amended sale certificate Ex. PW-2/C. In the meanwhile, Plaintiff- Company filed the Civil Suit against the defendants for specific performance of the agreement dated 11.04.2012. During the pendency of the present suit, I came to know that Mr. Gaurav Rajput has formed so many companies the names of which are already on record, so much so, that he has also got Director Identification Number (DIN) in two different names, namely Gaurav Rajput and Gaurav Arora to give effect his illegal designs. Even otherwise, the drafts amouting to Rs. 45,60,019/- (Rs. Forty five lace sixty thousand and nineteen only) duly issued by Punjab & Sindh Bank, New Delhi in favour of Moral Holding Ltd. Mark `C', was not issued in favour of defendant No.1 and even if this is accounted for did not complete the balance payable amount of Rs. One crore. Another draft of Rs.18,00,000/- Mark `D', as claimed was never delivered to the defendants No. 1, 6 and 7. The plaintiff has not fulfilled the terms of the agreement and was not ready and willing to perform his part of the agreement as the plaintiff was not having sufficient means to pay the sale consideration and other fees and expenses which were to be borne by the plaintiff. The defendants No. 1, 6 and 7 were always ready and willing to perform their part of the contract/agreement. The plaintiff has filed the present case against defendant No.1, 6 and 7 without any basis and in order to harass the defendants.
xxx xxx xxx Mr. J.S. Bhogal, Senior Advocate with Ms. Swati Verma, Advocate, for the Plaintiff.
I informed the plaintiff about the factum of defendants No. 6 and 7 being the only partners of defendant No.1 during the course of negotiation regarding the sale of the suit property. Self stated that the plaintiff was made well aware of this fact before execution of the agreement. Defendants No. 6 and 7 passed resolutions dated 15.11.2013, authorizing me to appear and act on their behalf. Self stated that I have brought both the certified true copies of these resolutions today. It is wrong to suggest that the companies incorporated under Companies Act cannot be Partners in a Partnership Firm. Initially I was not given any written information to the DIC Baddi, regarding none sanctioning of the mutation in favour of defendant No.1 through defendants No. 6 and 7 being its partners on the ground that there were originally nine partners in defendant No.1-Firm and I was informed orally by the department. However, subsequently the DIC Baddi has raised an amount of more than Rs. Two crores to be paid for getting the mutation approved. I have placed on record the said demand by the DIC, which is Ex. DW-3/A. Defendant No.1 has not got effect the mutation till date. Self stated that the matter regarding sanction of mutation was not perused by defendant No.1 due to the pendency of the present suit. My mobile No. is 98100-19310. It is correct to suggest that on 7th February, 2013, I sent a message to Mr. Gaurav Rajput that "I will not be there. I'll call you in a while". Self stated that I was to go somewhere which got cancelled and I was available in the office when Mr. Gaurav Rajput finally arrived on that day. It is incorrect that no meeting was held with Mr. Gaurav Rajput with me as I was not available in the office on that day i.e. 07.02.2013. It is incorrect that Mr. Gaurav Rajput never agreed for any forfeiture of the amount. Defendants No. 1, 6 and 7 use to maintain Books of Account. I do not remember whether there is any entry regarding payment of cash amount of Rs.32,00,000/- in favour of Mr. Gaurav Rajput as on 07.02.2013 in Account Books maintained by defendants No. 1,6 and 7. Self stated that I have to verify from the record since the transaction pertains to the year 2013. I did not apprised my counsel regarding cash refund of Rs.32,00,000/- which was made on 07.02.2013 at the time of preparation of written statement. Self stated that I informed this fact to my counsel at the time of cross examination of Mr. Gaurav Rajput. I am aware that as of date there is a limit regarding cash transaction under Income Tax Act. Self stated that however, in the year 2013 I am not sure whether the said embargo was there or not. It is wrong to suggest that I had never made any cash payment of Rs.32,00,000/- to Mr. Gaurav Rajput. It is incorrect to suggest that the defendants backed out from the deal as the defendants have to pay more than Rs. Two crores for the sanctioning of mutation. Self stated that this payment of Rs. Two crores was to be made by the plaintiff in terms of the agreement. It is correct that expect agreement 11.04.2012 Ex. PW-3/B, there is no other agreement between the parties. It is incorrect that Mr. Gaurav Rajput or any other person on behalf of the plaintiff agreed to get the mutation sanctioned in favour of defendant No.1. It is incorrect that Mr. Gaurav Rajput or any other person on behalf of the plaintiff agreed to pay any amount for the sanction of mutation in favour of defendant No.1. I know all the Directors of Moral Holdings Limited as I am also one the Director of the said Company. It is incorrect to suggest that the plaintiff got prepared demand draft Mark `C', in favour of Moral Holdings Limited at my instance. I am not aware about the outcome of the complaint Ex. DW-4/C. I came to know that Mr. Gaurav Rajput and Gaurav Arora are the same person from the record of ROC pertaining to certain companies wherein he and his wife are Directors. I did not make any complaint to the ROC in this regard. It is incorrect that I am deposing false.

Thereafter, Joginder Pal had filed an appeal bearing No. 84-13 of 2018, before the First Appellate Court and the same was allowed by the first Appellate Court on 22.11.2019. Thereafter, I contacted Shri Gulzar Rathore, Advocate, in the High Court for filing the appeal on 02.01.2020. My Advocate asked me to come to Shimla in the month of March, 2020. When in the month of March 2020 I visited Shimla then I came to know that Shri Gulzar Rathore, Advocate is not well and he is not coming to his Chambers or Court. Thereafter I went back to my village. Thereafter, due to COVI19 pandemic in the moth of March, 2020, I could not come to Shimla due to the restrictions. Thereafter, I again visited Shimla in the month of March, 2021, and inquired about Shri Gulzar Rathore Advocate then I came to know from his Chamber Mate/colleague that Shri Gulzar Rathore, Advocate had expired. In between March, 2020 to March 2021, I telephonically tried to contact Shri Gulzar Rathore, Advocate he was not picking up the phone.

I have forwarded the consignment of my apple crop to the defendants from 14.08.2018 to 06.10.2018 through transporter Shri Deepak Saini. Shri Deepak Saini is owner of Vishal Haryana Freight Carrier. The consignment was used to be initiated from Parwanoo and the same was sent to the different locations of the defendant-company through bilty issued by the transporter. I have forwarded the apple crop to the defendant-company amounting to Rs. 4,30,07,201/- (Rs. Four crore thirty lacs seven thousand and two hundred one only). Out of the total above stated amount the defendant company had paid me an amount of Rs.2,49,50,000/- through Bank transaction, copy of the Bank Statement is Ex.

However, offered me to settle the case either by going to the Court or accept only 20 to 30% amount of the outstanding payment or to use the mussel power. Therefore, I preferred to come to the Court for my grievances against defendants. Before I started to conduct the business with the defendant, the defendant No.2 alongwith his son Shri Deepak (son of defendant No.2) and Shri Dheeraj (nephew of defendant No.2) assured me that I will never face any problem in the business or regarding any payment. I have also made a complaint to Chairman APMC, Azadpur Delhi which is Ex. PW-1/A & Ex. PW-1/B. I could not pursue the above said complaints at Delhi due to CORONA pandemic at that time. Since the defendants have not paid my outstanding amount till date for which I am entitled for.

Transporter Deepak Saini was also known to defendant No.2. It is correct that the main office of defendant No.2 is/was at Azadpur Mandi, Delhi. I have visited his office at Azadpur Mandi, Delhi only when I did not receive the outstanding amount of my consignment. It is correct that there is signature of Shri Bhagwan Dass, Deepak and Dheeraj on the Bilties Mark P-1 to P-83. I do not know whenever any consignment is sent any bill/invoice is generated/prepared or not.

The defendants did not use to send any confirmation regarding arrival of the consignment however, whenever, there was any complaint regarding the consigned material only then they use to talk to me.

Due to the non-payment of the arrears of the Electricity Bills by the defendant No.1-company on 12.10.2015, the disconnection order was issued and the Electricity Meter of the defendant No.1-company was temporarily disconnected. The copy of the disconnection order is Ex. PW-1/E. Subsequent to the disconnection order Ex,.PW-1/E, the defendant No.1- company deposited an amount of Rs. 50,00,000/- with the plaintiff-company and the same adjusted qua the arrears of the Electricity Bills of the defendant No.1-company. Since the defendant No.1-company has not deposited the entire arrears and recurring bills, therefore, permanent disconnection order was passed on 12.04.2016, and the supply of the defendant-company was disconnected w.e.f. 18.04.2016.

I am not aware that the defendant No.1-company has gone into liquidation and wound up.

It is further submitted that as per note at N/44/587 (Flag `B'), Your Lordship was pleased to reject the candidature of the representationist (Ms. Diksha Sharma) on 22.08.2023, and the applications were invited for the post of Assistant Librarian under mode (a) of the Recruitment and Promotion Rules 2015, as the representationist was not fulfilling the necessary qualification as per Rules ibid for the post of Assistant Librarian i.e., Graduation with Post Graduation Degree in Library Science.
Thereafter, the post of Assistant Librarian was again advertised under mode-(b), but due to not possessing the requisite qualification for the post of Assistant Librarian i.e. Graduation with Post Graduation Diploma in Library Science or any Post Graduation Degree in Library Science, none of the candidates were found eligible for being considered for the post under mode-(b).
Accordingly, vide order dated 21.12.2023, (Flag-X-1) at N/642, Your Lordship has been pleased to reject the candidature of Ms. Diksha Sharma and directed to invite the applications for the post of Librarian under mode-(c) i.e. by way of direct recruitment.
Now, the applicant (representationist) has submitted Mark-Sheet of Master of Library Science, which is a computer generated copy downloaded from IGNOU website wherein it has been mentioned that "The status is indicative only & cannot be used as a substitute for the final grade card. The Final Grade Card will be issued after completion of the Programme on updation of all prescribed components."
Thereafter, Ms. Diksha Sharma (representationist) submitted a representation dated 27.12.2023, requesting to fill the post of Assistant Librarian under mode (a) or (b) of the R&P Rules, 2015 (i.e. from amongst the eligible employees of the Registry) and not to fill the same under mode-(c) i.e. by direct mode as the employee(s) are eligible in the Registry for the aforesaid post.
It is further submitted that in compliance to N/642 at Flag `X-1', the Recruitment Branch has already advertised the post of Assistant Librarian under mode (c) i.e. by way of direct recruitment, vide advertisement No. HHC/Admn.2 (23)/82-XI, dated 18.01.2024 and the last date for filling up the said post through online was 26.02.20224.
Since the post of Assistant Librarian has already been advertised in compliance to the order of Your Lordship at N/642 at Flag `X-1', therefore, the representation dated 27.12.2023, has become infructuous.
In view of the above, Lordship's directions are solicited as under:
A. Lordship may be pleased to order to reject the representation under reference being devoid of merit OR B. Any other directions as Your Lordship may deem fit and proper in the matter.

On Oath
11.06.2024 Stated that I have filed the present appeal i.e. RSA No. 549 of 2009, in the High Court. I have filed an application for the stay alongwith the said appeal, vide order dated 23.11.2009, the Hon'ble Court directed the parties to maintain status quo with respect to nature possession and titled of the suit land. Thereafter, vide order dated 25.03.2010, the Hon'ble Court appointed one Local Commissioner to know the factual position of the disputed land bearing Khasra No. 207/1. On the directions of the Hon'ble Court Naibh Tehsildar Jhandutta visited the spot and demarcated the land. Vide order dated 21.08.2013, the Hon'ble Court confirmed the interim order dated 23.11.2009. Inspite of the stay order, the respondent started to raise construction on the disputed land on 31.01.2017. I made a request to the respondent not to raise any construction over the disputed land but he did not stop. Thereafter, on 01.02.2017, I made a complaint to the SHO Police Station Tallai, which is Mark `A'. On the same day SHO Police Station Tallai, send Head Constable Tirth Ram to the spot and he found that the respondent was doing the construction work on the spot. After making of the inspection of the spot Head CMP No. 9572 of 2017 in RSA No. 549 of 2009 Constable Tirth Ram asked the documents pertaining to the said land from me and from the respondent. After inspecting the documents on the spot Head Constable Tirth Ram did not rely upon the documents produced by me and told me that there is no stay, however, he relied upon the documents produced by the respondents. Thereafter, he pressurized me to enter into a compromise with the respondents and wrote a compromise deed by his hand. The compromise deed is Mark `B'. I appended my signature's on the compromise deed since I was pressurized by Head Constable Tirth Ram and my signature is Ex. PW-5/A on compromise deed Mark `B'. Thereafter, Head Constable left the spot and went back to Police Station. Thereafter, in order to resolve the dispute I requested the respondent to make the construction work on the disputed land but the respondent did not allow me to do the work. Thereafter, I again made a complaint SHO Police Station Tallai on 02.02.2017, which is Mark `C'. Though, the SHO Police Station Tallai assured me that they are coming to the spot but they did not come to the spot. The respondent carried on his construction work pertaining to raising of the walls and laid the lentil on the structure raised on the disputed land. Thereafter, I filed one application Mark `D', under Right to Information Act to the SHO Police Station, Tallai and he provided me the documents which were asked by me in my application and CMP No. 9572 of 2017 in RSA No. 549 of 2009 the same are Mark `E', Mark `F', Mark `G' and Mark `H'. The respondent did not stop his work, however, he also made one application to the District Magistrate, which is Mark `E'. On my application dated 02.02.2017 Mark `C' and the application filed by respondent Mark `D', Head Constable Tirth Ram again visited the spot on 03.04.2017 and recorded the statement of the respondent but he did not recorded my statement. The Police has given the wrong report against me which was not according to the factual position. The respondent has intentionally and willfully disobeyed of the stay order of the Hon'ble Court, therefore, he be dealt with in accordance with law.

Thereafter I contacted my Advocate at Dharamshala but he informed me that my case is still pending and the dates are being fixed by the Court. He also took fees from me. Thereafter, I contacted another Advocate to know the status of my case on which I came to know that my appeal at Dharamshala, had already been decided on 05.01.2022.

On Oath 05.07.2024 Stated that I am Special Power of Attorney Holder of my uncle Shri Anand Raj Jhawar and I have been duly authorized vide Special Power of Attorney Ex.PW-1/A, to represent my uncle and to adduce on his behalf in the present case. The R.R. Agrotech., had entered into an agreement Ex.PW-1/B (four leaves) with the defendants. The terms and conditions of the agreement are in the entered in e-tender document (MTF), which is Ex.PW-1/C (111 leaves). The works to be executed as per the agreement Ex.PW-1/B, had been mentioned in Bill of quantity (BOQ), WHICH IS Ex. PW-1/D, ( 8 leaves). At the time of filing the tender all the rates pertaining to the item No. 1 to 141, which has been mentioned in BOQ were quoted by the plaintiff firm and on the said rates, the defendants accepted the tender of the plaintiff firm. The plaintiff firm had quoted the rates in BOQ Ex. PW-1/D on the basis of CPWD rates contained in Delhi Schedule of Rates (DSR) and Delhi Schedule of Rates Analysis (DSA). The dispute in the present lis is pertaining to item No. 140 and 141 mentioned in BOQ, Ex.PW-1/D. The dispute is regarding the item 140 and 141, i.e. site development. As per item No. 140, the earth COMS No. 3 of 2023 is to excavated by mechanical means (Hydraulic Excavator) including disposal of excavated earth within all leads and lifts. Disposed earth to be levelled and neatly dressed. In item No. 141, the carriage and disposal of earth by mechanical means/transport including loading uploading and stacking at contractors' risk upto 5 kilometers. For both these items, the quantity mention in the BOQ is 84960.00 Cubic Meter (CUM), whereas the rate for each item is separately mentioned and agreed upon. When plaintiff firm started the excavation work in April 2018 and reached upto around six thousand cubic meters, the said excavated earth was dumped to the site allotted by the the FCI.
The said site was objected to by the Pollution Control Board and the FCI stopped us from dumping the earth on that site allotted by them. The Pollution Control Board took up the matter with FCI officials vide letter dated 11.06.2019, which is `Mark -A'. Thereafter, the plaintiff firm asked the defendants to provide the alternate dumping site at the earliest so that the execution of the work should hamper. The defendants asked the plaintiff firm to locate any alternative dumping site at our own as they are paying them as per item No. 141 of BOQ. The letter dated 11.03.2019, pertaining to that effect is `Mark- B'. On the letter dated 11.03.2019, `Mark -B', the plaintiff firm started to locate the alternate dumping site which were about 12 kilometer from the site. Three COMS No. 3 of 2023 different sites located by the plaintiff firm were informed to the defendants and the defendants have approve all the three sites. Thereafter, the defendants constituted a committee and visited all the three sites. Since as per item NO. 141 of BOQ, only the sites upto five Kms., were mentioned but since the sites located by the plaintiff firm beyond five Kms., therefore, the defendant company approved the new rates for the transpiration and other incidental expenses which is `Mark -C'. The plaintiff firm excavated about 1 lacs 6 thousand cubic meter earth in total out of which about six thousand cubic meter were dumped already allotted by the defendants and about 99000 cubic meters earth excavated was dumped by the plaintiff firm in the newly located site. The plaintiff firm raised the first three bills which are Mark -D', `Mark -E', and Mark -F', qua excavation and dumping of the earth to the defendant company in which the defendant company paid upto five kilometers as per the item No. 141 of the BOQ only. However, the plaintiff firm received the entire payment qua item No. 140 of the BOQ. So far as the payment qua extra seven kilometers was concerned that was not within the the preview of the concerned AGM, therefore, he sent the proposal for payment of the additional distance upto seven kilometers to the Zonal Office of the defendant at Noida. All the work done pertaining to excavation and dumping of the earth/soil upto one lac and six thousand cubic meters was entered in COMS No. 3 of 2023 their Measurement Book (MB) in the defendant record `Mark-G' (four leaves). The proposal send by the AGM of the defendants to his Zonal Office was not accepted by the Zonal office and they declined to pay any amount under item No. 141 of the BOQ. On 15.05.2019, the plaintiff firm raised the fourth bill `Mark-H', to the defendants but to the utter surprise of the plaintiff firm the defendants adjusted all the payments made earlier to the plaintiff firm under item No. 141 of the BOQ, which were paid under Bill 1 to 3 and did not pay the amount which was raised in the fourth bill pertaining to item No. 141 of BOQ. Thereafter, the plaintiff company came to know that the defendants have denied the all the payments qua item No. 141 of the BOQ. The information to that effect was also received by the plaintiff firm vide letter dated 31.05.2019 `Mark-J'. Thereafter the plaintiff firm contacted the General Manager of the defendants and raised out grievances vide letter Ex.PW-1/E. The plaintiff firm again vide letter dated 06.09.2019, Ex.PW-1/F, send a notice under Clause 25 (1) of the Contract Agreement, which is Ex.PW-1/F. On the notice of the plaintiff firm the defendants/Executive Director Engineering, Delhi constituted a committee and the committee authorized the General Manager of the defendants to give the reply qua the notice send by the plaintiff firm, who had already rejected the claim of the plaintiff firm. The plaintiff firm excavated the earth in total about 1.53 lacs cubic meters as COMS No. 3 of 2023 due to the excavation of the land slopes/gradients were changed. After the completion of excavation work about one lacs six thousand cubic meters, the additional work which was done by the plaintiff firm qua the excavation and dumping of about 47000 cubic meters, the defendants paid us on the basis of market rates prevailing at that time instead of rates mentioned in the contract as well as for covering the extra distance of seven Kms. The defendants clubbed all the rates as per their convenience and paid the composite amount of Rs.416/- per cubic meter. The additional work was executed by the plaintiff firm in the year 2021. The defendants gave the approval for dumping and excavation about 47000 cubic meters after two years, due to which the plaintiff firm could not proceed further for the construction work and the prices of the material and other ancillary has also increased by that time. Since the defendants did not adhere to the terms and conditions of the agreement and did not pay the amount due to the plaintiff firm as per the contract, the plaintiff firm was constrained to file the present suit for the payment of the work done by them. As of date the work on the site is going on as the defendants has given the extension for completion of the work up till 31.07.2024.

The suit land was having two khasra numbers, however, I do not know the total Khasra numbers after settlement. It is incorrect that we are taking rent from Gaur Hydro Project till date.

On Oath 09.08.2024 Stated that I am duly authorized representative of plaintiff Company and I have been duly authorized by the company vide Board Resolution dated 12.12.2018, to initiate the Civil Suit and to sign and depose on behalf of the plaintiff Company. The Board Resolution is Ex. PW- 1/A. On 22.06.2015, one of the Member of the defendant Society Shri Jorabar send an email dated 22.06.2015, to the plaintiff company and asked for the quotation for the purpose of setting up Diary Processing Plant. Then the plaintiff company send the quotation to the defendant society through e mail quoting an amount of Rs. 1,70,83,000/- for supply and installation of the equipment for the Diary Processing Plant which was excluding piping, transportation and other taxes. Thereafter, on 30.06.2015, I visited the place of defendant society for discussion, negotiation and finalization. The negotiation with the defendants society went for two to four days. The Members of the defendant society told me that they have budget constrained and asked me to reduce the price by reducing the specification and the bought out items and piping. Thereafter the parties to the lis entered to an agreement dated 03.07.2015, Ex. PW-1/B, regarding the supply of the Diary Plant equipment. As per the agreement the cost of the entire Diary Plant was agreed to Rs. 1,50,00,000/- (One crorer Civil Suit No. 37 of 2019 fifty lacs) It is further agreed that the defendant will produce Form-C for 2% of tax. It is further agreed that if the defendant society will not provide Form-C 2%, then they have to pay 5% VAT. After eight days from the execution of the agreement the defendant society asked through email for the layout diagram to which the plaintiff company sent an email on 13.07.2015 attaching preliminary layout and the copies of the email are Ex. PW-1/C-1. Thereafter, plaintiff company sent Engineer to the place of defendant society for marking the layout and foundation. The defendant society started to seek clarification on the layout which were responded through telephone call and based on the discussion the final layout was provided on 01.08.2015, through email which Ex. PW-1/C-2 and other mails regarding the queries of the defendant society are Ex. PW-1/C-3 to Ex. PW-1/C-5. Thereafter the defendant society approached the Government authority regarding electrical layout to their Plant and location of the utilities such as Steam Boiler, Cooling Tower, Effluent Treatment Plant etc. The defendant society had to undertake the entire Civil work and other Government formalities and took the time for get the permission from the concerned authority. In the meanwhile the defendant society asked the plaintiff company to supply the equipments of higher quality than agreed in the agreement Ex. PW-1/B. Thereafter the plaintiff company informed the defendant society that the change in the material would cause escalation in the prices which will be informed to the defendant society later on during execution of the work. The defendant society agreed to the same and it was agreed that the difference in the amount will be settled at the time of final Civil Suit No. 37 of 2019 settlement of the final bill. Based upon the commitment of the defendant society the plaintiff company started to supply the material. On reaching the first lot of equipment in December 2015, the defendant society told the plaintiff company they want all the equipment in the wooden packing instead of normal bubble Sheet packing/standard packing as agreed in the agreement. Thereafter, the plaintiff company send all the equipment in the wooden packing as directed by the defendant society. Thereafter, the defendant society sought the clarification through email dated 23.02.2016, whether they should put Kota stone for the flooring and the same was replied by the plaintiff company through email on the same day. As per the changed specification and directions the plaintiff company started to execute the work on the site. The agreed period for the execution of work was end of November, 2015 but due the changes in the layout and non-completion of the Civil Work on the site the execution of the work could not be completed within the stipulated period and it was nearing completion in July, 2016. When the plaintiff company approached the defendant society regarding increase in the cost of the equipments due to change in the specification the defendant company informed the plaintiff company that they will arrange the third party verification for determining the additional cost but the defendant society never arranged the third party verification for the above said determination. Thereafter, the defendant society did not allow to execute the work by the staff of the plaintiff company and ask them to leave the premises, while retaining all the tools, material and equipments which was lying in the premises of the defendant Civil Suit No. 37 of 2019 society. When the plaintiff company again approached the defendant society, they did not allow staff of the plaintiff company to enter in the premises, however, they were getting the work executed through some other agency with our tools and material. Thereafter, the plaintiff company raise the dispute before the Registrar Co-operative society who dismissed the claim of the plaintiff company for want of jurisdiction. The plaintiff company also issued legal notice on 21.09.2016 under Section 76 of the Himachal Pradesh Co- operative Societies Act, Ex. PW-1/D-1, which was not replied by the defendant society and the postal receipt regarding sending of the legal notice is Ex. PW-1/D-2 to D-3. The RADs of the same are Ex. PW-1/D-4 and Ex. PW-1/D-5. The copy of the order of the Registrar Co-operative Society is Ex. PW- 1/E, and the reply filed by the defendant society before the Registrar Co-operative Society is Ex. PW-1/F. The Manager namely Shri Senthil Kumar, who was deputed by the company for the execution of the work of the defendant society, who had already resigned from the plaintiff company was allured by the defendant society for execution/ completion of the balance work to avoid payment to the plaintiff company. The plaintiff company did not authorize Shri Senthil Kumar, for the execution of the work or to receive any payment on behalf of the plaintiff company. The plaintiff company had supplied one number of two KL tanks to the defendant society instead of two tanks of one KL to reduce the maintenance and ease of operation. Only four equipments i.e. Ghee Clarifier, Milk Separator, incubation heaters and one more item were Civil Suit No. 37 of 2019 remaining to be supplied by the plaintiff company at the time when the defendant society did not allow to complete the work. The approximate cost of the remaining four equipments was about Rs. 10 lacs.

I am B.Sc Chemistry, B.Sc. Oil Technology and MBA. The plaintiff company is in this business since 2013. Till today the plaintiff company had executed 39 Project which includes Foreign Project also. It is correct that as per the agreement Ex. PW-1/B, the plaintiff company had to complete the entire work by November 2015. It is correct that as per the agreement the plaintiff company had to develop equipment location drawing, process flow diagram, equipment layout, structural layout etc. plan. Shri Senthil Kumar has signed the agreement as a witness. It is correct that as per the term No. 9.2, if anyone of the parties changed its legal status, its authorized signatory, owners, Manager or any other contractual parties then the parties have to notify the same to the other party. The plaintiff company intimated about the leaving of the Company by Shri Senthil Kumar. I do not remember the date when the same fact was intimated to the defendant society. The company has not annexed any document with the suit qua the resignation of Shri Senthil Kumar nor any document has been annexed regarding the intimation given to the other party.

On Oath 22.08.2024 I was appointed as Director of the defendant No.1- Company on 25.09.2006. I resigned from the said company on 06.06.2009. Plaintiff No.1 to approached me to purchase the land of respondent No.1- company. Plaintiff No.1 had paid a token amount of Rs.11,00,000/- to which receipt Ex. PW-8/A was issued by me as Director of defendant No.1-company. The said amount was deposited in the Bank Account of the defendant No.1-company. It was agreed that the complete agreement of sale was to be executed by the defendant No.1-
company and Shri Vijay Bhandhari (Objected to by Plaintiff on the ground of beyond pleadings and contrary to Ex. PW- 8/A). Shri Vijay Bhandhari was not agriculturist of the State of Himachal Pradesh and he was required to obtain the permission under Section 118 of the H.P. Tenancy and Land Reform Act. He did not come to me with the permission under Section 118 of the H.P. Tenancy and Land Reform Act, during my tenure as Director. Further execution of the agreement regarding the purchase of land was to be executed after the permission under Section 118 of the said Act by Shri Vijay Bhandhari. He never approached me during my tenure as Director for the execution of the agreement to sell. Ex. DW- 5/A bears my signature in red circle `A' as Director/ Chairman of the company. Vide Ex. PW-5/A, three new Directors namely Praveen Kumar, Navneet Garg and Virender Kumar joined the company as Directors. The minutes regarding my Civil Suit No. 47 of 2009 resignation and acceptance of the same were prepared copy of which is Ex.PW-5/B. The said meeting was chaired by new Director Shri Praveen Kumar. I identify his signature which is in red circle `B' on Ex. PW-5/B. I conveyed to the new management for the token money which the company has received qua receipt Ex.PW-8/A, the reference to that effect is made in Ex. DW-5/A and Ex. DW-5/B. Thereafter, the company decided to return the token money of Rs.11,00,000/- which is recorded in the minutes of the company, which is Ex. DW-5/C. I identify signature of new Director Praveen Kumar, which is in red circle `C'. The company send the said amount to Shri Vijay Kumar Bhandhari through Demand Draft Mark `X', vide letter 16.07.2009, Mark `Y'. I identify the signature of Shri Praveen Kumar which is in red circle `X'. I was not having any personal liability of any kind with respect to the receipt of the token money. The company has been wrongly sued through my name as I had already resigned from the company before the filing of the said suit.
xxx xxx xxx Shri Bhupender Gupta, Senior Advocate with Shri Pranjal Munjal, Advocate for defendant No.1.
The intimation regarding my resignation as Director of the Company, was sent to the Registrar of Companies. During my tenure as Director except Ex.PW-8/A, no other document was executed pertaining to the purchase of the said land. No other document has been executed with the new Directors pertaining to said land.
xxx xxx xxx Shri Ajay Kumar Sood, Senior Advocate with Shri Rohit, Advocate for the plaintiff.
Civil Suit No. 47 of 2009It is correct that the resignation from the Directorship of the company is to be given in writing to the Board of Directors. I have not retained the copy of the resignation submitted by me to the company. The original resignation is with the company. I have seen my resignation in the Court file today which is annexed with Form-32, which is Ex. DW-3/B. The total sale consideration of the said land was Rs.2,80,00,000. I do not know that Vijay Bhandhari is also having one another plant in the same vicinity. Shri Vijay Bhandhari directly come to me for the purchase of the said land. I do not know Shri Bharat Bhushan. The witnesses in Ex.PW-8/A, were Shri Subhash Tomar and Shri Bharat Bhushan. Shri Bharat Bhushan has not signed the said document in my presence. I do not remember who has written the document Ex.PW-8/A. I do not remember for what amount I sold my share to the company to Shri Praveen Kumar and other Directors. I do know whether I have sold my shares to the Director Praveen Kumar or not. Self stated the same has been mentioned in the Books of Accounts. I am income tax payee. I have declared in the income tax return about the amount of the sale of my share. I do not remember how many share holder were in that company at the time of my resignation. However, I and my brother Shri Madan Mohan Singla were Directors of the said company. My brother might have received the amount for the sale of his shares. I do not know how much money he has received for the sale of his shares. One take over agreement was executed dated 04.06.2009 was executed between Vijay Singla and Praveen Kumar, which is Ex. PX. I identify my signature in the said Civil Suit No. 47 of 2009 document, which is in red circles `A'. I cannot identify other signatures in Ex. PX. It is correct that in Ex. PX, the sale consideration has been mentioned as Rs.9,40,000. Self stated that I have sold my shares for an amount of Rs.9,40,000. No sale deed was executed pertaining to the land in dispute. The new Directors are also not agriculturist of the State of Himachal Pradesh. I have not given any intimation to Shri Vijay Bhandhari before or after resigning from the company. Self stated that it is not my duty to inform him. I do not remember whether any copy of the Ex. PW-8/A, was prepared. However, I have informed the company at the time of my resignation. The Draft Mark `X' was not prepared in my presence. It is correct that there is no complete address of Shri Vijay Bhandhari has been mentioned on Mark `Y'. As per my information the Draft Mark `X' was not en-cashed and was returned to the company. Form-32 was deposited by the company. I do not know the date on which the said Form was deposited by the company with ROC. I never entered into any agreement with the V.R. Ferro Steels Company. I do not know that the new Directors entered into an agreement to sale regarding the suit property with V.R. Ferro for the sale consideration of Rs.27,00,000. It is correct that earlier I use to reside at Panchkulla. It is incorrect that my office was at Jagan House Sector 28 Panchakula. I was residing at House No.8, Sector 8, Panchkulla. I never made any offer to Shri Vijay Bhandhari to take over the company in the manner it was given to the new Directors. I only sold only my shares in the company while resigning from the same. The owner of the land in dispute is defendant No.1-company, managed by new Civil Suit No. 47 of 2009 Directors. Self stated that the new Directors are the Directors as of date. I am not aware that as and when the shares of the company are sold the assets of the company are also transferred alongwith the shares. I was not remained behind the bars during my tenure as Director in the said company. I do not remember the exact period for which I remained behind the bars. I remained behind the bars for one year. It is incorrect to suggest that with a view to frustrate the agreement Ex. PW-8/A, I alongwith new Directors forged and fabricated false resignation letters and documents to cheat the plaintiffs.

In the year 2019, the Bank Manager of HDFC Bank Kunihar introduced me with defendant No.1.

On Oath
12.09.2024 I am a business by occupation. I know all the defendants since 2018 including Late Manoj Kumar Sood. On 31.03.2018, defendant No.3 invited me to come to Shimla. In the month of April 2018, I visited Shimla and I met defendant No.3, who also introduced me to her father (Manoj Kumar Sood) and brother (Aniket Sood). Thereafter, I went back to my native place, however we remained in contact with each other. Defendant No.3 and her father, telephonically and through messages informed me about their financial problems. They again called me to Shimla and showed me the about the loans of the Banks. They sought financial help from me so that they can pay the loans of the Banks as well as the market. I made payments to defendant No.3, through cash and Bank transaction amounting to Rs.51,45,000/- approximately till 03.10.2019. To that effect one affidavit was executed by defendant No.3, which is Ex. PW-1/A (objected to). Thereafter, from the money paid by me they discharged the loan raised on the shops and obtained the No Objection Certificate (NOC) from UCO Bank. In September 2018, defendant No.3, visited Jharkhand. Thereafter, the defendants use to take money from me in cash and Banks during different intervals. I have paid an hefty amount for more than Rs.1.00 Civil Suit No. 118 of 2019 crore to the defendants before the execution of the affidavit Ex. PW-1/B (objected to) by defendant No.4. Thereafter, the defendants again asked money from me but I refused to pay more money, however, I asked them to return the amount already paid by me. Thereafter, the defendants made a proposal to me to purchase their property in lieu of the amount already paid by me to them. I visited frequently Shimla in between this period i.e. 2018-2019. I asked them about the amount of the property which the defendants want to sell to me. The defendants told me that the value of the entire property which they want to sell will be about Rs. Three crore fifty lacs. The defendants executed two agreements to sell Ex. PW-1/C and Ex. PW-1/D, (objected to) for the selling of their property in lieu of the agreement to sell, I paid the entire sale consideration to the defendants by way of cash as well as in their Banks Accounts. I paid the cash amount over and above mentioned in the sale agreements to the defendants. The defendants showed the true value of the suit property i.e. Rs. 1,43,60,000/-, in the agreement to sell, however, they have accepted the total amount of Rs.3,50,00,000/- from me for the sale of the properties. I have also paid an amount of Rs.2,00,000/- approximately to the defendants towards the revenue charges/Stamp Duty. The defendants remained in my contact uptill November, 2019, thereafter, they started to become unreachable to me and no conversation took place. However, I came to know that the defendants have gone to Gurgaon, Haryana, for the treatment of Shri Manoj Sood, therefore, I went to Gurgaon on 2nd and 3rd December, 2019 to meet them, but the defendants threatened me that they will Civil Suit No. 118 of 2019 falsely implicate me in Criminal Case. The defendants have to execute the sale deed in the month of December, 2019 as per agreements to sell. For the purchase of the property of the defendants my partner Shri Arvind Kumar, (Plaintiff No.2) had also contributed the amount. When ever I use to visit Shimla, the defendants use to demand money from me for their personal work and for the medical treatment of defendant No.1 (since deceased). When the defendants did not respond to my call and did not meet me, I was constrained to file the present Civil Suit. I also filed an FIR No. 206 of 2019 at Police Station Balidih, Bokaro, Jharkhand against the defendants for cheating for which they remained behind the bar for more than one year. After the filing of my present civil suit the defendants have filed a complaiant/ FIR at Shimla against me for the forgery of the documents i.e. Ex.PW-1/A to Ex. PW- 1/D, in which cancellation report has been filed by the police and the matter is pending adjudication in the Court. The defendants had also filed petition for quashing of the FIR, lodged by me, before the Jharkhand High Court. Their petition was dismissed by the Jharkhand High Court. The defendants also went to Supreme Court but the case was transferred to Chandigarh District Court, which is still pending adjudication. The defendant No.3, had filed one FIR against me in Delhi also. The police had filed cancellation report in that case and the matter is subjudice in the Court at Delhi. The Jamanadis qua the suit property are Mark P-1 (two leaves) and Mark P-2, Since the defendants have not executed the sale deed even after taking the entire sale consideration I was constrained to file the present Civil Suit. Self stated that I can Civil Suit No. 118 of 2019 produce all the documents for proving the monetary transaction.

When conversation between the parties to the lis stopped, then we applied for information under RTI, from the office of Mining Officer, District Una, which were submitted by defendant No.1 in various departments . The copy of the COMS No. 11 of 2019 RTI information received is Ex. PW-3/H( 189 leaves).

After sending of the notice for the appointment of the Arbitrator to defendant No.1, we applied COMS No. 11 of 2019 for the appointment Arbitrator in the Court. Again stated we did not apply in the Court for the appointment of the Arbitrator. It is correct that all the plaintiffs are non-himachali and non-agriculturist of the State of Himachal Pradesh. It is correct that before entering into the agreement Ex. PW-3/B, and partnership deed Ex. PW-1/A, the plaintiffs did not apply for the permission under Section 118 of the H.P. Tenancy and Land Reform Act. It is incorrect that the entire land which was taken for the mining operations is agricultural land. The land of the village Singha was taken for the mining operations from the Pardhan of the village, namely Jassi. Self stated that the other land was taken on lease from different persons by the defendant No.1. I do not know the details of those persons. We did not contacted the persons from whom the land was taken for the installation of the stone crusher. It is correct that we have not challenged the cancellation of the partnership deed Ex. PW-3/K, before any court separately. Self stated that we have filed the present suit. It is correct that we have also not challenged separately the agreement between defendant No.1 and the mining department.

We have not deposited any amount in the Account of defendant No.2/ firm, after the execution of the agreement Ex. PW-3/B, as well as execution of the partnership deed Ex. PW-1/A. There is no separate agreement in between all the plaintiffs regarding entering into an agreement with defendant No.1. All the plaintiffs are income tax accesses. All the plaintiffs maintain their business accounts of their businesses as well as their other COMS No. 11 of 2019 income separately. I cannot tell how much amount has been contributed by each plaintiff after the execution of the agreement with defendant No.1 today. Self stated that I can bring the record pertaining to that later on. It is correct that we have not annexed the details of the amount contributed by us along with the present suit. It is incorrect that since no payment has been made to defendant No.2, i.e. why no supporting document has been annexed with the present suit. It is correct that we have not annexed the income tax details of each plaintiff from which it could be ascertained that any amount has been paid to defendant No.1. I can produce my accounts of business as well as income tax returns if the same is directed to be produced by the Court. The other plaintiffs will also produce their Accounts of Business and Income Tax Returns, if so directed. The agreement Ex. PW-3/B, was executed at Una in a Hotel opposite to the Tehsil Office.

I can also tell the amount contributed by me only after verifying my accounts. The receipt Ex. PW-3/E, was got typed by my partner (Raj Kumar). The said receipt was not typed in my presence. Self stated that I signed the said receipt. I do not remember the exact date of signing the receipt Ex. PW-3/E, since the matter pertains to the year 2015. It is correct that there is no date written in the receipt Ex. PW-3/E. It is correct that the name of scribe has also not been mentioned in Ex. PW-3/E. It is incorrect that Ex. PW-3/E, is a forged document. For entering into the partnership business with defendant No.1, we have authorized plaintiff No.1, Shri Raj Kumar. After entering into the agreement Ex. PW-3/B, and partnership deed Ex. PW-1/A, Raj Kumar started to work in the business from that date. The plaintiffs have not opened any office of the firm anywhere. Self stated that defendant No.1, had to open the office at Crusher site. The office was not opened after the execution of the agreement. The work of the office was to done in a shed.

We did not inquire whether the COMS No. 11 of 2019 any amount paid by the plaintiffs had gone into the Bank Account of defendant No.2. The Bank Account was to be opened in the name of defendant No.2, which was to be opened by signing of all the partner of the firm. We did not inquire from defendant No.1 about the opening of the Bank Account in the name of the firm. Self stated that we have asked defendant No.1 for doing the needful. I have also asked Raj Kumar about the opening of the Bank Account in the name of the Firm. Raj Kumar told defendant No.1 for opening the Account and also told him that we will come for opening the Account. It is incorrect that the Bank Account was to be opened only by the signature of Raj Kumar and defendant No.1. Self stated that as per the agreement the paper work was to be done by both of them. I use to inquire from Raj Kumar about the progress of the paper work. It is incorrect that no civil work was executed on the site.

On Oath 01.10.2024 I am 10th pass. I am shopkeeper by occupation. Plaintiff Ram Lal is known to me. I along with my brothers (defendant No. 2 and 3), entered into an agreement of sale with the plaintiff. We have agreed to sell our three shops to the plaintiff. The sale consideration of the shops was Rs. One crore twenty lacs. At the time of execution of the agreement to sell the plaintiff had paid an amount of Rs. 30,00,000/- as earnest money and thereafter, as per the agreement to sell, the plaintiff had to pay an amount of Rs. 30,00,000/- upto 20.11.2019. But the plaintiff only paid a sum of Rs., 25,70,000/- instead of Rs. 30,00,000/- as per the agreement. Thereafter, the plaintiff did not pay any amount. I have taken house loan from Indian Overseas Bank Ner Chowk by mortgaging the shop. The Bank issued no objection certificate Mark-D-2. The Canera Bank has also issued no objection certificate Mark D-1, in favour of my brother Bharat Kumar and Central Bank of India, has also issued the no objection certificate Mark D-3, in favour of my brother Vinod Kumar. The plaintiff without paying any amount was insisting to get the sale deed executed and was asking that he will pay the amount later on after the execution of the sale deed. The plaintiff was not having sufficient funds to execute the sale deed. On the first floor of the shops in dispute our father had constructed two room set also. We have also supplied the no objection certificates issued by the Banks to the plaintiff. The receipts Ex. PW-1/C-1 to Ex. PW-1/C-9, were never executed in our presence. We have also replied to the legal notice issued by the plaintiff to us. As of date the value of the property in dispute is about 2.5 crorers. Since the defendant has failed to pay the entire sale consideration despite repeated requests and did take any steps for the execution of the sale deed, therefore, as per the agreement the earnest money paid by the plaintiff was forfeited.
xxx xxx xxx Shri George, Advocate, for the plaintiff.
It is correct that we have good relations with the plaintiff as the plaintiff is also running business at Ner Chowk. The agreement to sell was executed prior to the execution of the sale deed as the plaintiff was not having entire sale consideration available with him at that relevant time. It has not been written in the agreement that since the plaintiff was not having entire sale consideration available with him at that time, therefore, agreement to sale was prepared. The copy of the jamabandi was attached with the agreement to sell. It is incorrect that the document writer prepared the agreement to sell on the basis of the jamabandis produced to him by us. It is correct that on the date of the agreement to sell the share of all the defendant was mortgaged with the different Banks. It is incorrect that the plaintiff was having the entire sale consideration for paying the same to the defendants but since the property was mortgaged with the different Banks due to which the sale deed was not executed directly. It is incorrect that I am deposing false the plaintiff was not readly available with the entire sale consideration. It is correct that after going through the agreement to sell I appended my signature on it. It is correct that I also identifies the signatures of my brothers on the agreement to sell. It is correct that the agreement to sell was executed in the presence of the parties to the lis as well as witnesses present there. It is incorrect that we have agreed to sell the entire land, shops, amenities as well as rights mentioned in the agreement to sell to the plaintiff. It is incorrect that at the time of execution of agreement to sell no construction was raised on the first floor of the shops in dispute. I am not known to Hukam Chand Contractor. It is incorrect that the plaintiff alongwith Hukam Chand Contractor visited us and asked us to get the mortgage redeemed so that the plaintiff could raise the constr4uction over the shops. It is incorrect that we asked the plaintiff to raise the construction over the said shops and we do not have any objection. It is incorrect that thereafter, the plaintiff raised construction on the first floor through Hukam Chand Contractor. It is incorrect that only lentil has been led on the first floor and there is no two room set on the said floor. I do not know that the plaintiff was having his own shop at Ner Chowk. I do not know in order to pay the sale consideration the plaintiff sold his own shop by believing our words to pay the sale consideration. I do not know that the plaintiff has to take the shop on rent for which he is paying Rs.25,000/- per month. It is correct that Ex. PW-1/C-2, bears my signature in red circle B. It is incorrect that Ex. PW-1/C-1, bears my signature. It is incorrect that vide Ex. PW-1/C-1, I received an amount of Rs. 14,80,000/- on 12.06.2020 in the presence of the witnesses mentioned in the said receipt. It is correct that vide Ex. PW- 1/C-2, I received an amount of Rs.12,70,000/- in the presence of the witnesses mention in the receipt. I cannot identify the signatures of my brother on the receipt Ex. PW-1/C-3 to Ex. PW-1/C-9.

It is correct that I have limit in the Bank in the name of Ashoka Construction. It is incorrect that I have deposed falsely that I have redeemed home loan amounting to Rs.10,00,000/-. After redeeming my loan from the Bank, I have deposited the no objection certificate to the revenue officer. It is correct that as per the agreement the date for the execution of sale deed was 30.05.2020. It is incorrect that on 30.05.2020, plaintiff along with the two witnesses came to us and ask for the execution of the sale deed. It is incorrect that on that day we told the plaintiff that since the property in dispute has not been redeemed, therefore, we asked some more time. It is incorrect that during different intervals I and my brother Bharat use to visit the plaintiff and receiving the money by execution of the different receipts in the presence of the witnesses. It is incorrect that even after the expiry of the date of the execution of the sale deed, we use to receive the money on the assurance that we will execute the sale deed after redeeming the mortgaged property. I do not know on 03.02.2023, my home loan amounting to Rs.10,00,000/- was entered to be redeemed in the revenue document. It is incorrect that I and my brother Bharat received a total amount of Rs.82,30,000/- on different dates on the assurance of redeeming the mortgaged property and will execute the sale deed. As of date I am not ready to execute the sale deed. It is incorrect that the defendants was never ready and willing to perform the agreement to sell and to execute the sale deed. It is incorrect that the defendants use to give false assurances by receiving the amount from the plaintiff on different dates. It is incorrect that from the very beginning the defendants was no intention to execute the sale deed. It is incorrect that I am deposing false.

We have purchased the land, on which the computer center was situated, in the year 1983. The copy of Jamabandi of the said land is Ex. PW-1/A. We have constructed three and half storeyed building on the said land, which was constructed from the year 1987 to 1992, after taking the due permission from the concerned department.

In the month of August 2018, we went to Chandigarh for the eye operation of my husband. We remained at Chandigarh up till 13.01.2019 and came back to Solan on 14.01.2019. When we opened our house on 14.01.2019, then we notice that the walls of our house had received the cracks on it. Besides to our house there is one vacant plot of the defendants in which the defendants had started the digging work with the JCB machines, due to which our house received cracks on account of the vibration of the JCB machines. Then brought it to the knowledge defendants about the cracks in our house, but the defendants assured that they will get the cracks repaired. Inspite of that the defendants did not stop the digging work. They use to operate the JCB machines in the early morning and late evening hours. They do not use to operate the JCB machine during day hours. On 16.01.2019, when the defendants used the JCB machines, then the stare case to our house suddenly collapsed and we along with the students of the computer center were struck in the house and the computer center. The students of the computer center were rescued from the back side of the computer center through the house of Superintendent of Police, Solan. We did not lodge any complaint to the police as the defendants had assured us that they will do the entire repair and get the things right at the earliest. But the defendants neither repair the stare cases nor the cracks developed in our house. Inspite of that the defendants did not stop their work on the spot. On 27.01.2019, me and my husband lodged a complaint at Police Station Sadar Solan. Then the police called the defendants to the police station and got the matter compromised between us and the defendants. The hand written copy of the compromise is Mark-E.

The defendants send this offer through Ms. Kavita to us also. The defendants use to threatened in case we would not sell our property to them then they will damage our entire property. Inspite of the undertaking-cum-agreement, Ex. PW-1/C, the defendants did not repair our house. On 01.02.2019, we again lodged a complaint in the Police Station Solan, against the defendants.

Thereafter, Sub Divisional Magistrate Solan forwarded a letter Mark-N, to The Tehsildar Solan for doing the needful.

Due to the digging by the defendants, apart from our property the government accommodation /house of Superintendent of Police and House of Dr. Raina, was also damaged which were also got vacated by the authorities. We also filed a Civil Writ Petition No. 2057 of 2019, before the Hon'ble High Court, which is still pending adjudication whereby the digging and constructions activities by the defendants were stayed by the Hon'ble High Court. The defendants are not owner of the plot adjacent to our property and they have forged the revenue record qua their ownership as well as area. We have also lodged an FIR to that effect which is Mark-X. One complaint under Section 156 (3) Cr. PC has also been filed before the Court by us against the defendants.

After taking the possession of the adjacent plot by the defendants they got demarcated the land in which we were also associated. All the parties to the demarcation were satisfied with the demarcation, which was being conducted in the year 2018. We had constructed the building in our own area. After the vacation of our property, defendants again got demarcated the land, in which we were not associated. Due to the act and conduct of the defendants we have suffered the damages to the tune of Rs. one crore seventeen lacs, for which we are entitled from the defendants.
xxx xxx xxx Shri Navneet Kumar Bhalla, Advocate for the defendants.
Our house was within Municipal Area. The maps which were got approved for the construction of the building in the years 1987 and 1992, I have not annexed with the present suit. I do not know how much floor area and the number of the stories were sanctioned in the year 1987 and 1992. Self stated that in the year 1992, first flooor and attick was sanctioned. It is correct that in the year 1987 the map of basement and ground floor was sanctioned. I do not know that map Mark D-1 and sanctioned letter Mark D-2, pertains to our house. We can produce the approved map which was sanctioned in the year 1992 for first floor and attick. It is incorrect that no map was sanctioned for our house in the year 1992. It is incorrect that no map of first floor and attick was ever sanctioned by the authorities. It is incorrect that the Muncipal Corporation has demolished some part of our house on account of the illegal constructions raised by us. Self stated that there was some deviation which was being compounded on the payment of Rs.200/-. I do not remember that thereafter we applied for the sanction of the revised map. It is incorrect that the revised map was sanctioned only for the basement and first floor. I do not know that revised Mark-D-3, pertains to my house. I cannot identify my signature on Mark-D-1 and Mark D-3. It is incorrect that since no map has been sanctioned qua first floor and attick due to which the same has not been produced on record. I cannot produce the sanctioned map for first floor and attick which was sanctioned in the year 1992 on the next date of hearing. I do not know the number vide which the map for first floor and attick was sanctioned in the year 1992. I have disclosed about the sanctioning of the plan in the year 1992 to my counsel before drafting of the plaint. I have not shown that map to my counsel at any point of time. It is incorrect that our first floor and attick is illegal. WE have purchased the said land from Shri Jia Lal after due execution of the sale deed and the Tatima was also annexed with the sale deed. I have not annexed the said Tatima with the plaint. We have shown the said Tatima to our Advocate before filing the present suit. I do not know whether the said Tatima is not in my possession as of date. Our front towards Solan- Rajgarh road was 22 meters. I can produce the revenue document from which it can be shown that our front was 22 meteres. I have neither brought any revenue document today nor any such document has been annexed with the case file. It is incorrect that our map has been sanctioned only on 16 meters front. It is correct that after purchasing the land mutation was entered to that effect. It is incorrect that in that mutation our front was shown as 16 meters. I do not know that the mutation Mark-D-4 (three pages) and Tatima pertains to my property. It is correct that as per revenue record in between our plot and the plot of the defendants there is one path which leads to Dr. Raina House. Self stated that there is no constructed path on the spot. I do not know the width of the said path in revenue record is 2 meters.

I do not know whether mutation No. 496 and Tatima appended in the mutation pertains to Pashupatinath and others Mark D-5 (two pages). It is incorrect that we have written wrong facts in our plaint that our plot and the plot of the defendants are adjoining each other.

On Oath 16.10.2024 I have brought the original death and birth Register of Gram Panchayat Jhalta, Tehsil Jubbal, District Shimla. In the year 2006, I was posted as Secretary Gram Panchayat Jhalta, Chopal, District Shimla. I have seen Ex. PY today. The original entries in the birth and death Register pertaining Ex. PY, had been entered by me on the information given by the father, namely Shri Banarsi Dass of child `R'. I identified my signature on Ex. PY, which is Ex. PY-1. I have made the entries in the birth and death Register on 06.02.2006. However, as per the information the child `R' was born on 20.01.2006. After making the entries in the birth and death Register, the entries are made in the family Register. I have brought the original Pariwar Register also which started in the month of May, 1989, in which at page No. 104, at Sl. No. 18 the name of the elder daughter of Banarsi Dass was entered as Slity and was entered on 10.12.1998 and on the same page between Sl. Nos. 17 and 18 the name of second daughter of Banarsi Dass has been entered as `R' having date of birth 20.01.2006. I had also brought the Pariwar Register which was continued after 31.12.1990. On this Register, the family/Pariwar of Bansrsi Dass S/o Bishan Dass, has Criminal Appeal No. 233 of 2022 been entered against House No. 327 BPL, at page No.
189. On the said page, Shri Banarsi Dass having wife (Deepna Devi) having date of birth 01.07.1975, and daughter `R' date of birth 10.12.1998, and youngest daughter `N' date of birth 20.01.2006, are entered. When I entered the family of Banarsi Dass in the Pariwar Register, I inquired the family head Banarsi Dass regarding correctness of his family members, whereby he had stated that I had changed the name of my elder daughter from Slity to 'R' and the name of youngest daughter has been stated by him as `N' and I had entered accordingly. When I entered the name first time on 06.02.2006, it may be by mistake hearing that this Banarsi Dass would have spoken `N' and I had heard `R' because the entries are made in Gram Sabha and many of the people remains around us. The name entry of dated 06.02.2006, Ex. PY and the entry on Pariwar Register of Banarsi Dass Ex. PW-10/B, showing `N' as daughter of Banarsi Dass are of the same child. I had also brought the photocopy of old Pariwar Register showing Page No. 104 and I can produce it in the Court. The same is Mark `A'. The copy of the abstract of the original entries at Page No. 104 in Pariwar Register May, 1989, is Ex. PW-23/A. I have not made the entry at Sl. No. 17 and 18 at page No. 104.

On Oath 03.12.2024 Stated that I was transporter in the year 2012. I was having a truck bearing Registration No. HP-24B- 1502. In the year 2012, I use to take the consignment of apple of Shri Satish Mehta who use to work in the name and style of M/s Ram (Royal apple merchant). His shop was at Ekant Wari, near Narkanda, Shimla. My truck was hired by Shri Satish Mehta for about two and half months i.e. in the months of August 2012 till October, 2012. I use to take the assignment from Narkanda to Transport area Sector-26, Chandigarh. The consignment was to be delivered to Mr. Sabbarwal, who was doing business in the name and style Tara Business group. While sending the consignment, the plaintiff use to provide me challan/bilties of the consignment and at the time of delivery of consignment the said challan/bilties was handed over to Mr. Sabbarwal or his employee at Chandigarh. The first apple consignment of M/s Royal Apple Merchant was taken by me to Chandigarh on 09.08.2012. Thereafter, I took the different consignment on different dates to Chandigarh. I have taken 19-20 consignment on different dates. After handing over the consignment to Mr. Sabbarwal or his employees the Civil Suit No. 11 of 2016 consignment was unloaded in his trucks and the freight was use to be paid to me in cash by Mr. Sabbarwal or his employee, which was already mentioned in the challan. After the consignment was delivered Mr. Sabbarwal use to confirm the delivery of consignment telephonically to Shri Satish. I used to drive my truck.

Generally, three bilties are being prepared before the consignment is handed over to the transporter. The plaintiff use to give me one bilty along with Form of HPMC, while handing over the consignment. It is correct that the consignment was checked as per the bilty. Self stated that thereafter the freight was given. It is incorrect that the consignee used to receive the consignment on the bilty and thereafter, handed over the same to me so that the bilty will be delivered to the consignee. I have not seen any document today in the case file, which bears the signature of the consignee or his employee. I did not take the consignment of anybody else except the plaintiff firm in the year 2012. It is incorrect that I also took the consignment of the plaintiff to other places apart from Chandigarh. Whenever I use to take the consignment of the plaintiff firm at that time the other trucks were also carrying the goods of the plaintiff firm. Self stated that four-five trucks were also carrying the consignment of the Civil Suit No. 11 of 2016 plaintiff-firm. It is incorrect that neither I took any consignment of the plaintiff nor the same was delivered to the consignee in the year 2012, because I have not seen my signature qua receiving of the consignment in any of the document in the case file. It is incorrect that I am deposing false today on the asking of Shri Satish Kumar.

I came to know about the dispute between plaintiff and Mr. Sabbarwal after one year, when I again visited the plaintiff next year. At that time, Shri Satish Kumar did not disclose that he is about to file any case in the Court against Mr. Sabbarwal. I use to take the consignment from Ekant Wadi near Narkanda to Sector- 26, Chandigarh. I have not seen any transporter bilty in the court file today nor I have been asked to bring the same. Self stated that as of date I have left the transport business. I used to maintain the record pertaining to the plying of my truck at the time when I was working as transporter. I have not brought any such record today. I had paid the inter-state taxes qua my truck at that time. Mr. Satish Kumar came in my contact in the year 2012 itself. It is incorrect that I am deposing false today on the asking of Shri Satish Kumar. It is incorrect that I was not owning the truck bearing registration No. HP-24B-1502. I have brought the photocopy and Insurance Policy of the Civil Suit No. 11 of 2016 said truck. Self stated that the said truck was in the name of ownership of my brother Ashraf Ali.

Some of the renovations i.e., toilets and stairs were also carried out through me by the defendants. I repeatedly made to the oral request to the defendants not to carryout any renovation at their own end. But they did not pay any heed to my legitimate request and carried on with the renovation. I have also made complaints to the police against the defendants at Police Station New Shimla. I also made a complaint to the General Manager Food Corporation of India (FCI), vide letter Ex. PW-10/100, regarding the damaged caused to the MCV and the other Civil Suit No. 80 of 2010 damages caused to the building. I also made complaint to Police In-charge Police Chowki, New Shimla, on 04.08.2018, which is Ex. PW-10/101, which was duly received by me to the MHC, New Shimla. I also clicked the photographs Mark A-1 to Mark A-26, of the damages which was being caused to my building by the defendants. I have suffered pecuniary damages to an amount of Rupees about 1.00 crore caused by the defendant as of date. I also suffered mental torture and harassment on account of the conduct of the defendants which cannot be measured in terms of money. In-spite of my repeated request to vacate the premises the defendant has not vacated till date and they are also not paying the agreed rent.

On Oath 09.12.2024 Stated that I am Special Power of Attorney Holder of Shri Rohit Goel, who is Plaintiff No. 1 in the present suit. Shri Rohit Goel has executed Special Power of Attorney (SPA) in my favour by authorizing me to file, sign and appear and depose in all types of petition Civil Suits and other judicial and quasi judicial proceedings. The Special Power of Attorney is Ex-PW-1/A. Myself, Plaintiff No.1 and Defendant are children of Shri Shravan Kumar Goel. We are real brothers and sister. Presently Plaintiff No. 1, namely Sh. Rohit Goel is residing in United States of America and has filed the present suit through me. Myself along-with Plaintiff No.1 and Defendant are joint owners in possession of the four storied structure built upon land comprised in Khata/Khatauni No. 63/129, Khasra No. 293 and 294, Kitas 2, measuring 362-28 sq. metres, situated at Mohal Palampur Khas, Tehsil Palampur, District Kangra, identified as Goel Estate. Certified copy of the jamabandi for the year 2014- 2015 of the above said property is Ex. PW-1/B. Our Civil Suit No. 36 of 2024 father Shri Shravan Kumar Goel, had died on 08/02/2011. Copy of the Death Certificate is Mark- `A'., leaving behind four legal heirs to succeed to his rights, title and interest and estate. My father died intestate and accordingly after his demise his estate was succeeded to and inherited by his legal heirs in equal proportions. There were four legal heirs of my father at the time of his demise and they were namely Smt. Jagriti Goel (Wife), Shri Rohit Goel (Son), Myself (Daughter) and Shri Rahul Goel (Son). Our mother Smt. Jagriti Goel, wife of Late Shri Shravan Kumar Goel expired on 27/02/2024. Certified copy of the Death Certificate is Ex. PW-1/C. Our predecessor in interest namely Shri Shravan Kumar Goel had purchased the land comprised in old Khata/Khatauni No. 31min/77 (New Khata/Khatauni No. 63/129), Khasra No. 293 and 294, measuring 362.28 sq metres situated at Mohal Palampur Khas, Tehsil Palampur, District Kangra vide sale deed dated 06/11/2000, duly registered at Serial No. 1184 with the office of Sub Registrar, Palampur, District Kangra. Certified copy of the Sale Deed is Ex. PW-1/D. The said land as reflected in the sale deed Ex. PW-1/D, was the self acquired property of my father Late Shri Shravan Kumar Goel. Over the said land my father Shri Civil Suit No. 36 of 2024 Shravan Kumar Goel, had built a single story structure in the year 2000-2001 and also partially built the 1 st floor, which was left unfinished.
After the demise of my father my brothers namely Shri Rahul Goel and Shri Rohit Goel along- with our mother Smt. Jagriti Goel took a loan from Kangra Co-Operative Bank and thereby completed the 1st floor of the building on the land purchased by our father. The said loan was repaid to Kangra Co- Operative Bank by my both the brothers in and around the year 2018. In the year 2019 Sh. Rohit Goel along with Sh. Rahul Goel and our mother namely Smt. Jagriti Goel, mutually decided and resolved to build and construct two more additional floors over the already constructed two floors over the land purchased by my father. Accordingly both the brothers along with my mother, in order to built and construct additional two floors over the property took a loan amounting to Rs.83,36,000/-from Punjab National Bank, Palampur Branch. Copy of the loan agreement is Mark `B'. The said loan was availed by my brothers along with our mother, collectively on 04/02/2019 for the purposes of construction of two additional floors and in lieu of availing the loan amount they mortgaged the suit property with the Punjab National Bank, Civil Suit No. 36 of 2024 Palampur. It was mutually resolved between my brothers as well as my mother that the loan installments shall be paid by my mother and two brothers equally. In mutual settlement it was agreed that though the monthly EMI of the loan amount taken is ₹ 66,212/-, however in order to waive of the liability of the loan quickly, monthly instalments shall be paid by paying Rs. 26,000/- by my mother and Rs. 28,000/- each by my brothers on monthly basis. Accordingly the monthly instalments were being paid by my brothers and by my mother in above said ratio, with total EMI of ₹ 82,000/- being paid to the bank regularly and without any fault. The construction of the additional two floors was started in the month of February 2019 and was completed in the month of March 2020. During the lifetime of my mother, there was an oral family settlement between my mother and brothers that the suit property identified as `Goel Estate', being four storied building was amicably partitioned and settled inter-se between myself and my two brothers. One of the conditions of the oral family settlement was that after the demise of my mother, the monthly Bank Loan installment of ₹82,000/-, being paid to the bank shall be equally shared and paid in the ratio of ₹41,000/- each by my brothers. This was Civil Suit No. 36 of 2024 unequivocally settled between the parties during the lifetime of my mother. This fact was also recorded in the Will of my mother. The certified copy of the WILL of my mother is Ex. PW-1/E. After the demise of my mother, the monthly loan installment falling into the share of my brothers came to be ₹ 41,000/- each per month. However, for the reasons best known to my brother namely Sh. Rahul Goel (Defendant), he resiled from the settlement arrived during the lifetime of the my late mother and did not pay his share of the EMI amounting to ₹ 41,000/- to the bank. He made defaults on several and various occasions in paying the EMIs to the bank. My brother, Shri Rohit Goel made request to the bank to separate his loan account from the defendant, however, same was not acceded to by the bank on the grounds that in order to separate the loan account from Defendant, No Objection would be required from the Defendant. Accordingly, my brother Sh. Rohit Goel (Plaintiff No.1) on various occasions requested the Defendant to give no objection in regards to separation of the loan account maintained with the bank. But the Defendant Shri Rahul Goel, blatantly refused to give the No Objection for separation of the loan account. The Defendant is consistently defaulting in making the payment of his Civil Suit No. 36 of 2024 share in the EMIs, contrary to the agreed terms of the oral settlement, which is further prejudicing the rights of my brother (Plaintiff No. 1), in particular as the liability with respect to the loan amount is joint and several. My brother Shri Rohit Goel (Plaintiff No. 1), is regularly paying his share of the EMI ₹ 41,000/- after the demise of our mother and as per the terms and conditions of the oral settlement arrived into between the parties. The Defendant is consistently defaulting in payment of his share of EMIs of ₹ 41,000 and is further reluctant to separate the joint loan account. Refusal to give no Objection to the bank for separation of the loan account amounts to the fact that Defendant has no intention of the repayment of the loan amount. Presently my brother (Plaintiff No.1) is paying entire installment of EMI (₹ 82,000/-) of the Loan Amount in order to save and preserve the suit property. The Plaintiff No.1, who is maintaining the entire building and incurring expenditure for the maintenance of the said building. Plaintiff No. 1 is also paying the entire property tax with respect to the property and also the water charges with respect to the entire property/building.
During the lifetime of my mother, there was an oral family settlement/ partition arrived into Civil Suit No. 36 of 2024 Plaintiff No. 1, myself and Defendant including my mother, whereby it was amicably resolved that the four floors of the building identified as `Goel Estate' built upon the above said land as defined Ex. PW-1/B, shall be partitioned as follows:
(a) Ground Floor, which is in the occupation of the tenants shall fall into the care of Sh. Rohit Goel, Plaintiff No. 1. The rent with respect to the said floors shall also be realised by Plaintiff No.1, who from the said amount shall take care of the property and incur expenditure with regard to the maintenance of the property etcetera.
(b) 1stfloor, which was in the occupation/possession of Smt. Jagriti Goel shall fall into the my share.
(c) 2nd floor, which is in occupation/possession of Shri Rohit Goel (Plaintiff No.1) shall fall into the share of Shri Rohit Goel, Plaintiff No. 1.
(d) 3rd floor, which is in occupation/possession of Shri Rahul Goel shall fall into the share of Shri Rahul Goel, Defendant.
(e) Apart from the said immovable property, the movable assets of my mother were equally dis-Civil Suit No. 36 of 2024
tributed among her legal heirs during the said family settlement arrived between the parties.
Recently, it has come to our knowledge that our mother had executed a document in the name, style and nature of Will, Ex. PW-1/E, in which the testator (my mother) has reiterated the terms and con- ditions of the oral family settlement arrived into be- tween the parties. The document Ex. PW-1/E, exe- cuted by my mother is not binding on the rights, title and interest of the parties for the reasons that my mother was not the absolute owner of the entire suit property, which was purchased by my father in the year 2000 and after his demise, she had inherited 1/4 th undivided share in the suit property alongwith the Plaintiffs and Defendant. My mother was only enti- tled to bequeath her 1/4th undivided share in the suit property as she was not the owner of the entire prop- erty. After the demise of my father, our mother along with myself, Plaintiff No.1 and Defendant had inher- ited 1/4th undivided share in the suit property being the legal heirs of Shri Shravan Kumar Goel. After the demise of my mother, her share has devolved upon Plaintiffs No. 1 and 2 and Defendant in equal propor- tions. Presently, myself, Plaintiff No. 1 and Defendant are joint owners to the extent of 1/3rd share Civil Suit No. 36 of 2024 each in the suit property. The Plaintiffs and Defen- dant are in settled possession of the respective floors in the suit property pursuant to the oral family settle- ment. The document Ex. PW-1/E, is the reiteration of the oral family settlement arrived into between the parties during the lifetime of our mother. During the lifetime of our mother the said oral family settlement was given effect as the maintenance and ancillary ex- penditure of the ground floor was being looked after by Shri Rohit Goel (Plaintiff No.1). The expenditure and maintenance of the 1st floor, during the lifetime of my mother was being looked after by my mother and myself, collectively. Further, the maintenance and expenditure of 2nd and 3rd floor of the building was be- ing looked after by Shri Rohit Goel and Rahul Goel respectively, being in possession of the same. As per the responsibilities shared and expenditures incurred, the floors were amicably partitioned and settled as per oral family settlement, consented to by all parties in- cluding the Defendant. The accounts as well as other investments of my mother were managed as per the nominations filed by her during her lifetime with the respective banks and other asset management agen- cies.
Civil Suit No. 36 of 2024As per the oral family settlement arrived into between the parties during the lifetime of Smt. Jagriti Goel, the ground floor had fallen exclusively into the care of Plaintiff No. 1, however, in order to maintain amicable, friendly and cordial relations amongst brothers and sister the Plaintiff No.1 is de- sirous of partitioning the ground floor, fallen into his care as per the oral family settlement, in equal propor- tions between Plaintiff No. 1 and 2 and Defendant. The fact that the ground floor of the building had fallen into the absolute care of Plaintiff No. 1 as also fortified from the fact that the rent agreements of the tenants in the ground floor of the building have been executed in favour of Plaintiff No. 1, during the life- time of Smt. Jagriti Goel. Plaintiff No.1 has been the caretaker of the ground floor of suit property for last more than 12 years. The suit property has been settled and partitioned as per the oral family settlement and the parties are in possession of the respective floors and further the Plaintiffs do not intend to keep their share joint with the Defendant, therefore, we are seek- ing the partition of the 4 storied building by metes and bounds. The copy of the Plan of the Building is Mark- `C'. The Plaintiff No. 1 in particular has requested the Defendant on numerous occasions to Civil Suit No. 36 of 2024 amicably partition the suit property along with separa- tion of the joint loan account maintained with Punjab National Bank, Palampur Branch but the Defendant has refused to partition the suit property amicably.
The Plaintiffs and Defendant are joint own- ers to the extent of 1/3rd share each in the suit property and we are seeking the partition of the entire suit property by metes and bounds and separate possession to the extent of our respective shares. We being the Plaintiffs are seeking the partition of the property as the Defendant is working to the detriment of Plaintiff No. 1. The Plaintiffs are also entitled to a decree of permanent perpetual injunction, thereby restraining the defendant from selling, alienating, encumbering or creating any charge or changing the nature of the suit property as Defendant in order to wriggle out of the loan liability is trying to sell and alienate the suit property to third parties.

On Oath 10.12.2024 The plaintiff-company vide Board of Resolution Ex. PW-3/A, authorized me to do all the codal formalities including deposing on behalf of the company (objected to on the mode of proof). The memorandum and article of association are Ex. PW-3/B. The plaintiff company intended to purchase land at Dharampur-Kasauli road, Village Sanwara. In lieu of that I along with property dealer Shri Gurucharan Singh went to locate the suitable land for the purpose of making a Hotel by the company. Thereafter, we shortlisted a land situated at village Sanwara. After due inquiry it was found that the identified land was belonging to defendant No.1. The details of the land is mentioned in the Jamabandies which are Ex. PW-3/C (four leaves), Ex. PW-3/D (four leaves) and Ex.PW-3/E (four leaves). Thereafter, the property dealer Shri Gurucharan Singh introduced me to defendant No.1. The negotiation were carried on between me and defendant No.1, who apprised me that he has given the rights for negotiating qua land to defendant No.2, through his General Power of Attorney which is Ex. PW-1/A. Thereafter, I contacted defendant No.2, qua the negotiation of the said land. The total deal was settled for Civil Suit No. 25 of 2022 that land on an amount of Rs. 1,75,00,000/-. Thereafter, an agreement to sell Ex. PW-3/F, was executed at Solan between the company through me and defendant No.2 regarding the purchase of the land of defendant No.1. I identify my signatures in red circle `A', on agreement Ex. PW-3/F. Shri Gurucharan Singh and Bhushan Kumar also appended their signature on the said agreement as witnesses. Defendant No.2, also signed the said agreement in the presence of the witnesses. As per the agreement the plaintiff company had paid an amount of Rs.70,00,000/- to defendant No.2 through cheques. The balance sale consideration was to be paid after the permission under Section 118 of the H.P. Tenancy and Land Reform Act, which is to be taken by the plaintiff- company.

As per the agreement defendant No.1 and 2 had to co-operate with the plaintiff company for taking the necessary permission qua obtaining the permission under Section Civil Suit No. 25 of 2022 118 of the H.P.

They do not provide necessary affidavit, income certificate and other document required for the permission under Section 118 of the H.P. Tenancy and Land Reforms Act. The receipt qua receiving an amount of Rs. 2,00,000/- is Mark `C'.

It is correct that there is no certification regarding the true copy of the resolution. Self stated that the said resolution was signed in original by the Directors. It is incorrect that I have not been authorized by the company to file the present suit. Property dealer Gurucharan Singh is known to me from the year 2015. The plaintiff company has done other deals through property dealer Gurucharan Singh within the periphery of Solan. Defendant No.2 was not known to me personally. Shri Gurucharan Singh introduced me to defendant No.2. When we saw the other with the other properties through Gurucharan Singh defendant No.2, was not accompanying us. I met defendant No.2 in the last week of April, 2017 in the house of Gurucharan Singh, which is located at Rajgarh Road, Solan. After locating the property the revenue record pertaining to that property was obtained through the revenue agency by Gurucharan Singh. I also personally checked the Jamabandi of the land in dispute. I do not remember that the owner reflected in the revenue record was Shri Desh Raj. I relied upon the representation of Gurucharan Singh that the property in dispute belongs Civil Suit No. 25 of 2022 to defendant No.1. Self stated that Shri Lok Raj (Defendant No.1) also informed to me that the said land belongs to him. Before the execution of the agreement I met Lok Raj. I am not aware about the occupation of Shri Lok Raj. It is incorrect that I never met Defendant No.1 (Lok Raj). Except Jamabandi I did not see any other document qua the ownership of the land. I am also not aware about the occupation of defendant No.2 (Rajesh Kumar). I did not know Bhushan Kumar before the execution of the agreement. Before the execution of the agreement to sell, defendant No.2, shown me the original General Power of Attorney. Defendant No.2, showed me original General Power of Attorney two-three days prior to the execution of the agreement. In between three-four days prior to the execution of the agreement I did not try to meet defendant No.1. Shri Lok Raj was about 45 years when I met him. I and Gurucharan Singh made negotiation with defendant No.2 qua the land in dispute. Gurucharan Singh disclosed me that defendants No.1 and 2 are related to each other as brother-in-law. I never personally asked about the relationship between them. After the payment of an amount of Rs. 35,00,000/- I informed defendant No.2, that the company will pay the other amount to defendant No.1 only. Gurucharan Singh also informed defendant No.2, about this fact but defendant No.2 and Bhushan Kumar told me that we will take an affidavit from defendant No.1, qua the payment to Civil Suit No. 25 of 2022 be made to defendant No.2. I do not remember that whether I procured original affidavit of defendant No.1 from him. I am also not aware about the occupation of Shri Bhushan Kumar. Bhushan Kumar was brought on the day of the execution of the agreement by Gurucharan Singh. Self stated that Bhushan Kumar might be known to defendant No.2. Further payment was paid by the plaintiff-company to defendant No.2 only after taking of the affidavit of defendant No.1. We waited for about seven-eight months for taking the documents from the defendants. I tried to meet defendant No.1 after seven- eight months, when we came to know about the cancellation of General Power of Attorney (GPA) by defendant No.1. It is incorrect that I never met Lok Raj nor he disclosed to me that he has cancelled the GPA in favour of defendant No.2. At the time of writing a letter to Tehsildar (Urban) Kasauli, District Solan, (Mark `J') I was aware about the cancellation of GPA. I never asked in writing to defendant No.1 about the documents required for the necessary permissions. Self stated that I only asked defendant No.2 for the same. I do not remember whether in the legal notice Ex. PW-3/G, we demanded the documents required for the permission. After reply to the notice by defendant No.2, (Mark `K'), I never try to contact defendant No.1 and demanded the requisite documents. I never tried to ascertain whether the defendant No.1 had received any payment after the Civil Suit No. 25 of 2022 execution of the agreement qua part of the sale consideration. I am not aware that defendant No.2, had fraudulently obtained the GPA as well as affidavit from defendant No.1. It is incorrect that defendant No.1, never intended to sell the land in dispute. It is incorrect that defendant No.1 never agreed to execute the agreement to sell of the said property and did not authorize defendant No.2. Smt. Reena who is sister of defendant No.1, is not known to me. I am not aware about any civil suit inter-se Reena, defendant No.1 and their father Desh Raj. I am not aware, the Lok Adalat has passed an award that defendant No.1 is not the owner of the suit property. xxx xxx xxx Shri Vinod Chauhan, Advocate for defendant No.2.
After the finalization of the land I along with Gurucharan Singh met Lok Raj (defendant No.1) on the property in dispute. The affidavit of defendant No.1 (Mark `B') was provided by defendant No.2 through Gurucharan Singh. I have seen signature of Lok Raj on that affidavit. It is incorrect that I am deposing false.

The defendants confiscated my tools and equipments and asked me to withdraw from the site. I consistently asked for the payment but no Civil Suit No. 95 of 2020 response was given by the defendants. Thereafter I issued a Legal Notice Ex. PW-1/C, through my Advocate Shri Lekh Raj. The postal receipts of the same are Ex. PW-1/D-1 to Ex. PW-1/D-5. Thereafter, I received a reply of my Legal Notice from the Advocate of the defendants-company, which is Ex. PW-1/E, (admitted by the defendants during admission and denial).
