                                          JUDGMENT

BRIEF FACTS PLEADED IN THE PLAINT

1. The brief facts which are narrated by the plaintiff is that the plaintiff is sole and absolute owner of the Industrial property bearing no. 32-B, measuring 1200 sq. Ft., Friends Industrial Area, GT Road, Shahdara, Delhi-110095. That the defendant was inducted as a tenant in respect of a Shed on area measuring 800 sq. Ft. on the ground floor surrounded by Four Pucca Walls covered by stone slabs forming part of property no. 32-B, Friends Colony Industrial Area, GT Road, Shahdara, Delhi-110095 (hereinafter referred to as "suit property" and particularly the same is shown in red colour in the site plan). That the defendant was paying the rent regularly without any delay or default, hence, the tenancy as well as the monthly rent amount of the defendant was enhanced from time to time and lastly it was Rs. 5,545/- per month excluding electricity and water charges. That the defendant started committing default in payment of rent and he was in arrears of rent for the period 01.04.2014 onwards. That the suit property is lying locked from last more than six years. That the grandson of plaintiff namely Sh. Kashish Aggarwal who is 24 years, has already completed his studies. That after completion of studies, Mr. Kashish Aggarwal joined his father in the business and gain sufficient experience of work and after gaining knowledge, he showed his willingness to settle himself and for that purpose he wants to establish his own factory for earning his livelihood. That the suit property is the only industrial plot of plaintiff and apart from that property, she does not have any other property for meeting her requirement for settling her grandson. That the plaintiff requires the suit property in question for her personal bonafide need which is under possession of the defendant being tenant, for her own bonafide need being suitable accommodation for the purpose of plaintiff. That the plaintiff does not own any other suitable accommodation for meeting her commercial requirement, hence, she verbally requested the defendant for vacating the suit property. That the plaintiff issued a legal Digitally signed MAYANK by MAYANK GOEL GOEL Date: 2024.07.18 ___________________________________________________________________________________ 15:13:35 +0530 CIVIL SUIT No. 8804/2016 PUSHPA AGGARWAL Vs. PARAG JAIN Page No. 2 of 14 CNR No. DLSH03-001029-2015 notice dated 10.08.2014 through her advocate under Regd. AD. Cover and Speed Post and called upon him to hand over vacant and peaceful physical possession of suit property on or before 31.08.2014 and further intimated him that in case of his failure to handover possession of the suit property he shall be liable to pay damages @ Rs. 20,000/- per month excluding electricity charges w.e.f. 01.09.2014 till the date of handing over the possession of suit property to the plaintiff and also called upon her to pay entire arrears of rent within fifteen days from the receipt of this Legal notice. That despite service of legal notice, the defendant partly complied with the terms of the legal notice by paying the entire arrears of rent but he did not vacated the suit property. That the suit property is required by the plaintiff for the purpose of settling her grandson as her grandson has been planning to setup a factory for earning his livelihood and suit property is very suitable for the said requirement and she has no other industrial plot or property in her name. That as the tenancy of the defendant has already been terminated by the plaintiff vide notice dated 10.08.2014 but the defendant has failed to vacate the suit property, hence, possession of the defendant in respect of the suit property is of an unauthorized occupant and he is liable to pay damages for use and occupation of the suit property without any right or authority @ Rs.20,000/- p.m. excluding electricity charges to the plaintiff w.e.f. 01.09.2014 till the date of handing over possession which comes to the tune of Rs. 60,000/- upto 30.11.2014. Apart from the said amount of Rs. 60000/-, the defendant is also liable to pay future damages @ Rs. 20,000/- per month both from 01.12.2014 till the date of handing over the vacant and peaceful physical possession of the suit property. That now the plaintiff had come to know that the defendant is trying to create third party interest in respect of the suit property either by parting with possession or by any other mode. Hence, the present suit has been filed by the plaintiff seeking decree of possession, recovery of damages, mesne profits, permanent injunctions.

8. I have heard the final arguments and have carefully gone through the case file.

9. Issuewise findings as follows:-

Issue no. 1,2 & 3.
Since, all these issues are interconnected and can be decided by common findings, all these issues have been taken together.
The burden to prove these issues is on the plaintiff. In order to prove these issues, the plaintiff has relied upon certain documents which have been exhibited by the plaintiff during her examination. The case of the plaintiff is that the defendant is the tenant of the plaintiff in the suit property @ Rs. 5,545/- per month excluding electricity and water charges and the defendant Digitally signed MAYANK by MAYANK GOEL ___________________________________________________________________________________ GOEL Date: 2024.07.18 CIVIL SUIT No. 8804/2016 15:13:54 +0530 PUSHPA AGGARWAL Vs. PARAG JAIN Page No. 7 of 14 CNR No. DLSH03-001029-2015 had not paid the rent since 01.09.2014. The defendant admitted in his WS that he is the tenant in the suit property but denied the ownership of the plaintiff qua the suit property and averred that the plaintiff had given the suit property on rent as caretaker of the suit property. The defendant also denied the rate of rent as Rs. 5,545/- per month and averred that the rate of rent of the suit property is Rs. 1,750/- per month and the present suit is barred as per DRC Act.
Section 116 of Indian Evidence Act, 1872 provides for Estoppel of tenant; and of licensee of per- son in possession and lays down as follows :-
"No tenant of immovable property, or person claiming through such tenant, shall, during the continuance of the tenancy, be permitted to deny that the landlord of such tenant had, at the beginning of the tenancy, a title to such immovable property and no person who came upon any immovable property by the licence of the person in possession thereof, shall be permitted to deny that such person had a title to such possession at the time when such li- cence was given."

In S. Thangappan vs P. Padmavathy, AIR 1999 SUPREME COURT 3584 , Hon'ble Supreme Court of India held that :-

"Section 116 of the Evidence Act provides that no tenant of immovable property shall, during the continuance of the tenancy, be permitted to deny that the landlord of such tenant had, at the beginning of the tenancy, a title to such immovable property. Possession and permission being established, estoppel would bind the tenant during the continuance of the tenancy and until he surrenders his possession. The words during the continuance of the tenancy have been interpreted to mean during the continuance of the possession that was received under the tenancy in question, and the courts have repeatedly laid down that estoppel operates even after the termination of the tenancy so that a tenant who had been let into possession, however defective it may be, so long as he has not openly surrendered possession, cannot dispute the title of the landlord at the commencement of the tenancy. The rule of estoppel is thus restricted not only in extent but also in time i.e. restricted to the title of the landlord and during the continuance of the tenancy; and by necessary implication, it follows that a tenant is not estopped, when he is under threat of eviction by the title paramount, from contending that the landlord had no title before the tenancy commenced or that the title of the landlord has since come to an end."

In Rita Lal vs Raj Kumar Singh, AIR 2002 SUPREME COURT 3341, Hon'ble Supreme Court of India held that :-

"The rule of estoppel between landlord and tenant enacted in Section 116 of the Evid- ence Act has three main features: (i) the tenant is estopped from disputing the title of his landlord over the tenancy premises at the beginning of the tenancy, (ii) such estoppel con- tinues to operate so long as the tenancy continues and unless the tenant has surrendered possession to the landlord, and (iii) Section 116 of the Evidence Act is not the whole law Digitally signed MAYANK by MAYANK GOEL GOEL ___________________________________________________________________________________ Date: 2024.07.18 15:13:58 +0530 CIVIL SUIT No. 8804/2016 PUSHPA AGGARWAL Vs. PARAG JAIN Page No. 8 of 14 CNR No. DLSH03-001029-2015 of estoppel between the landlord and tenant, The principles emerging from Sec- tion 116 can be extended in their application and also suitably adapted to suit the require- ment of an individual case."

In Payal Vision Ltd vs Radhika Choudhary, AIRONLINE 2012 SC 723, Hon'ble Supreme Court of India held that :-

"13. This Court in Sri Ram Pasricha v. Jagannath, has also ruled that in a suit for eviction by landlord, the tenant is estopped from questioning the title of the landlord because of Section 116 of the Act. The Judicial Committee in Kumar Krishna Prasad Lal Singha Deo v. Baraboni Coal Concern Ltd., when had occasion to examine the contention based on the words 'at the beginning of the tenancy' in Section 116 of the Evidence Act, pro- nounced that they do not give a ground for a person already in possession of land becoming tenant of another, to contend that there is no estoppel against his denying his subsequent lessor's title. Ever since, the accepted position is that Section 116 of the Evidence Act ap- plies and estops even a person already in possession as tenant under one landlord from denying the title of his subsequent landlord when once he acknowledges him as his land- lord by attornment or conduct. Therefore, a tenant of immovable property under landlord who becomes a tenant under another landlord by accepting him to be the owner who had derived title from the former landlord, cannot be permitted to deny the latter's title, even when he is sought to be evicted by the latter on a permitted ground."

In view of the statutory law and law laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in the judgments mentioned above, it is clear that the defendant cannot deny the title of the plaintiff qua the suit property. The defendant specifically admitted that he is the tenant in the suit property and the suit property is given on rent to the defendant by the plaintiff. The fact that the plaintiff failed to file any ownership document or rent agreement qua the suit property, will not help the defendant in proving his defence.

The defendant during his cross-examination deposed that "it is correct that the payment of rent of Rs. 27,312 given be me in September,2014 is for 5 months" and if the said amount of Rs. 27,312/- is divided by 5 (months), then it comes to Rs. 5,462.40/- for one month, which is more than Rs. 1,750/-. At one point of time, the defendant during his cross-examination deposed that he did not know the rate of rent at the time of inception of tenancy of his father and at other point of time during his cross-examination, the defendant deposed that in 1976, the rate of Digitally signed by MAYANK GOEL MAYANK ___________________________________________________________________________________ GOEL Date: 2024.07.18 CIVIL SUIT No. 8804/2016 15:14:01 +0530 PUSHPA AGGARWAL Vs. PARAG JAIN Page No. 9 of 14 CNR No. DLSH03-001029-2015 rent was Rs. 1,750/- per month as disclosed by his father. This shows that the defendant has hearsay knowledge about the rate of rent at the time of inception of tenancy of his father and he is giving hearsay deposition regarding the rate of rent, which is not admissible in evidence as per law. Moreover, the defendant during his cross-examination also deposed that he had not placed on record any rent receipt of the suit property. This shows that the defendant has not placed on record any rent receipt to show that the rate of rent of the suit property is Rs. 1,750/-

The defendant has placed on record the statement of account Ex. DW1/1 and ledger account as well bank statement which is Ex. DW1/P1 (colly 9 pages) to show that the rate of rent is Rs. 1,750/-. The defendant has not placed on record mandatory certificate u/s 65-B of Evidence Act along with the said statement of account, ledger account as well as bank statement and as such these documents cannot be read in evidence. For the same, I may gainfully referred to the observation made by Hon'ble Apex Court in "Anvar P.V. Vs. P.K. Basheer & Ors, 2014 SCC Online SC 732 " that any documentary evidence by way of Electronic record under the Evidence Act, in view of Section 59 and 65A, can be proved only in accordance with the procedure prescribed under Section 65B. Section 65B deals with the admissibility of the electronic record. The purpose of these provisions is to sanctify secondary evidence in electronic form, generated by a computer. It may be noted that the Section starts with a non-obstante clause. Thus, notwithstanding anything contained in the Evidence Act, any information contained in an electronic record which is printed on a paper, stored, recorded or copied in optical or magnetic media produced by a computer shall be deemed to be a document only if the condition mentioned under sub-Section (2) are satisfied, without further proof or the production of the original. The very admissibility of such document i.e. electronic document which is called as computer output, depends on the satisfaction of the four conditions mentioned under Section 65B (2) which are as follows:-

(a) the computer output containing the information was produced by the computer during the period over which the computer was used regularly to store or process information for Digitally signed MAYANK by MAYANK GOEL GOEL ___________________________________________________________________________________ Date: 2024.07.18 15:14:05 +0530 CIVIL SUIT No. 8804/2016 PUSHPA AGGARWAL Vs. PARAG JAIN Page No. 10 of 14 CNR No. DLSH03-001029-2015 the purposes of any activities carried on over that period by the person having lawful control over the use of the computer;
(b) during the said period, information of the kind contained in the electronic record or of the kind from which the information so contained is derived was regularly red into the computer in the ordinary course of the said activities;
(c) throughout the material part of the said period, the computer was operating properly or, if not, then in respect of any period in which it was not operating properly or was out of operation during that part of the period, was not such as to affect the electronic record or the accuracy of its contents; and
(d) the information contained in the electronic record reproduces or is derived from such information fed into the computer in the ordinary course of the said activities.

It is further clarified that the person need only to say in the certificate that the same is to the best of his knowledge and belief. Most importantly, such a certificate must accompany the electronic record like computer printout, CD, VCD, Pen-Drive etc. pertaining to which a statement is sought to be given in evidence, when the same is produced in the evidence.

Section 65B(4) provides about the contents of the certificate that certificate is to say:

(a) identifying the electronic record containing the statement and describing the manner in which it was produced;
(b) giving such particulars of any device involved in the production of that electronic record as may be appropriate for the purpose of showing that the electronic record was produced by a computer;

Only if electronic evidence is duly produced in terms of Section 65B of the Evidence Act, the question would arise as the genuineness thereof and in that situation, resort can be made to Section 45A i.e. opinion of examiner of electronic evidence.

Moreover, the defendant during his cross-examination deposed that it is correct that in Ex. DW1/P1, no payment is mentioned to be paid or payable towards security amount and only rent is mentioned. Therefore, the defendant failed to prove that the rate of rent of the suit property is Rs. 1,750/- and not Rs. 5,545/- and further failed to prove that the present suit is barred as per DRC Act. Therefore, the plaintiff is entitled to the decree of possession qua the suit property against the defendant.

Per contra, the plaintiff has also failed to prove that the rent of the suit property is Rs. 5,545/- per month as averred in the plaint. Moreover, no proof has been placed on record by the plaintiff to show that the rent of the suit property is Rs. 5,545/- per month.

The defendant during his cross-examination duly admitted that he had not paid any rent after the year 2014 and the last rent paid by the defendant is in August, 2014. Therefore, it is specifically proved that the defendant had not paid the rent to the plaintiff since 01.09.2014. The plaintiff has claimed the damages, future and pendente lite damages @ Rs 20,000/- per month from the defendant since 01.09.2014 till vacation of the suit property which is exorbitant and the interest of justice would suffice if the plaintiff is awarded damages future and pendente lite damages @ Rs. 5,000/- per month from 01.09.2014 till vacation of the suit property.

Accordingly, the issue no. 1, 2 & 3 are decided in favour of the plaintiff and against Digitally signed by the defendants.
