Shri Gurmeet Singh vs Delhi Development Authority on 13 May, 2015
Further, it was also observed that it was the case of the defendants since
Suit No. 118/2014 Gurmeet Singh & Another Vs. DDA
Page No. 11 of 17
the very beginning that the property occupied by the plaintiffs fell within
khasra no. 721 min of Village Narayana and 2096 of Village Tihar, which
had already been acquired by LAC and thereafter, placed at the disposal
of DDA vide relevant notification issued u/s. 22 (1) of DD Act, 1957.
Hence, it was the testimony of the plaintiff no. 1 himself which lend
credence to the case of the defendants. Even otherwise, the original of the
Sale Deed dated 04.05.1990 was never produced before the Court and
steps were not taken by the plaintiff to call for the records from the Office
of the Registrar in order to prove the copy filed before this Court. The sale
deed dated 04.05.1990 was executed in favour of plaintiff no. 1 by one
Shri Desh Raj, S/o Shri P. L. Katyal. A copy of a Sale Deed dated
27.04.1972 purportedly executed by Shri Rajinder Gopal in the name of
Shri Desh Raj in respect of a property no. 114B, 116 square yards, MS
Block, Hari Nagar, Village Tihar was filed but the copy was an unsigned
copy. Even otherwise, the same was not relied upon in the evidence of
plaintiff, neither was the original of the sale deed ever filed on record.
Hence, the entire chain of title documents existing in favour of Shri Desh
Raj, from whom, the plaintiff no. 1 purportedly derived his title were not
filed and therefore, it could not be said that plaintiff no. 1 had led any
reliable piece of evidence to prove that he was owner of the property
bearing no. 114B, khasra no. 211, 58 square yards, MS Block, Hari
Nagar, Village Tihar.
