2. It is further alleged in the plaint that defendant no.1 became greedy and broke the trust. As per plaintiff, defendant no.1 had sold the entire land in question including the land of which he was not empowered under the power of attorney to his own wife defendant no.2 and no consideration whatsoever passed to the plaintiff from the purported sale deed from the purported vendee. It is alleged that defendant no.1 had even purchased the stamp papers of his own and not the defendant no.2. It is alleged in the plaint that false declaration was made in the purported sale deed that defendant nos.1 and 2 are Indian nationals whereas they are Canadian and being foreigners they can not buy agricultural property in India. Defendant nos.3 and 4 colluded with defendant no.1 to cheat the plaintiff as it was their duty of care and obligation cast upon by law to have enquired before the sale deed was executed whether they were Indian or not and that the GPA referred to in the sale deed does not empower defendant no.1 to sell the land at all. Defendant no.1 after the expiry of the Raj Kumar Bhaduria vs Jagdish S Bhaduria 3 of 19 mother in a well planned conspiracy and well executed sinister plot did not return the power of attorney to the plaintiff but bought stamp papers worth Rs.1,96,500/- on 23.12.2004 and purportedly sold the said agricultural land on 12.04.2006 to defendant no.2 for a meager price of Rs.26,57,000/- (Rupees Twenty Six Lakhs Fifty Seven Thousand only) despite its price being crores of rupees. Attorney of plaintiff informed this fact to the plaintiff in the first week of August 2006. Plaintiff called upon defendant no.1 and persuaded that it is a family matter which should be resolved amicably or the family's name will be maligned to which defendant no.1 replied that he does not care as he does not live in India and he is not going to return the property worth crores of rupees. Hence, the present suit.
