Subhash Chandra vs Mohammad Sharit And Ors on 19 December, 1989

"9. We may next consider the decision in Devi Dass relied on by the respondents. In Devi Dass the case was remanded, as the Appellate Authority and the High Court had not considered at all the contention of the tenant that the sale was sham. But in this case, the trial Court and the appellate court have considered the evidence on the question whether the transaction was sham and recorded a finding thereon. Further, the decision in Devi Dass was rendered on facts, where apparently the tenant had not accepted the purchaser as his landlord by attornment. In this case the respondent tenants attorned to the new landlord (the appellant) and were paying the rents to him. It is now well settled that where on being informed of the sale of the premises by the vendor/purchaser, the tenant acknowledges the purchaser as his landlord, and pays the rents to him, he cannot thereafter be heard to say that the sale in favour of his landlord is sham. The only exception to this principle is, where the derivative title of the purchaser landlord is challenged by the tenant by pleading and proving that when he attorned, he was labouring under a mistake or ignorance as to material facts affecting title of the new landlord. (See Tej Bhan Madan v. II ADJ and Subhash Chandra vs. Mohd. Sharif). We may refer to the classic statement from Spencer Bower and Turner on Estoppel by Representation (3rd Edn.) on this issue:

M/S. Revajeetu Builders & Developers vs M/S. Narayanaswamy & Sons & Ors on 9 October, 2009

22. Delay in itself may not be crucial on an application for amendment in a written statement, be it for introduction of a new fact or for explanation or clarification of an admission or for taking an alternate position. It is seen that the issues have been framed in the case before us, only in 2009. The nature and character of the amendment and the other circumstances as in the instant case which we have referred to above, are relevant while considering the delay and its consequence on the application for amendment.
