Balbir Singh vs Jaswinder Kaur And Ors on 7 February, 2018
This order of mine shall dispose of above mentioned two
Regular Second Appeals bearing Nos. 4790 and 4791 of 2011. The facts are
being taken from RSA No. 4790 of 2011. The present RSA arose as a result
of two civil suits i.e. Civil Suit No. 362 of 6.12.1999 titled as Jaswinder
Kaur versus Sukhwinder Kaur and others (hereinafter referred to as the first
suit) and other Civil Suit bearing No. 25T of 17.04.2000 titled as Balbir
Singh v. Gian Kaur (now deceased and others)(hereinafter referred to as the
second suit) which were consolidated and common judgment and decree
was passed. In the first suit, Jaswinder Kaur claimed injunction against

RSA No. 4790 of 2011 2
Sukhwinder Kaur wife of Balbir Singh (who is plaintiff in the second suit)
and against Jarnail Singh and others for forcible interference and
dispossession. However, during the pendency of this suit vide amendment
the suit was converted into suit for possession. It was stated in the suit that
Jaswinder Kaur had become owner of the house in dispute by virtue of sale
deed dated 29.11.1999 bearing No. 1442 executed by Gian Kaur which had
forcibly been occupied by Jasbir Singh on the premise that Rattan Singh was
the owner of the property and after his death the property devolved upon the
heirs of Gian Kaur and she, on account of her own volition, transferred the
same by registered sale deed ibid for a valuable consideration of Rs.
55,000/-. In second suit Balbir Singh plaintiff, whose wife Sukhwinder
Kaur was arrayed as defendant No.1 in first suit, challenged the sale deed
aforementioned on the ground that Gian Kaur did not have the title as the
entire agricultural land was partitioned except the house which she had
transferred by way of a family settlement dated 31.10.1996(Ex.D1) and had
been in possession of the property, therefore, there was no occasion for
dispossessing Jaswinder Kaur wife of Jasbir Singh. Apparently it was a
dispute between the daughter-in-law and wives of Jasbir Singh and Balbir
Singh sons of Gian Kaur, wife of Rattan Singh. The first suit was decreed
whereas the second suit was dismissed. It is in this backdrop of the matter
that the present Regular Second Appeals have been filed before this Court.
