Vipin Bhimani And Anr. vs Sunanda Das And Anr. on 24 February, 2006
Mr. Ganesh Srivastava learned advocate for the respondents on the other hand
has submitted that under Section 14 (3) of the Specific Relief Act the plaintiff who
was admittedly a developer in terms of the purported agreement dated 10.02.1989
was not entitled to institute any suit for specific performance of said development
agreement and as such filed a suit for injunction to take a chance. According to him,
said suit for injunction without any prayer for specific performance of the contract
was not maintainable as plaintiff developer was neither in possession of the property
nor had any claim over the property on account of alleged development agreement.
In this connection he has referred a case law reported in (2006) 2 CAL LT 157 (H.C.)
(Vipin Vimani and another v. Smt. Sunanda Das and another). In the referred case
law it was specifically held by this Hon'ble Court that from the provisions contained
in Section 14(3) (c ) of the Specific Relief Act it is clear that a suit for specific
performance of development agreement at the instance of a developer is clearly hit
8
by the provisions contained therein and that developer is not also entitled to get any
consequential relief for permanent injunction for revocation of agreement and that
the developer being agent was only entitled to get damages, if any. Admittedly, the
instant suit of 1995 was filed by the developer against the owners of the property
praying for permanent injunction restraining them from entering into agreement with
the third party for development of the suit property. Said suit for permanent
injunction was not maintainable in view of the ratio of the above referred case law.
T. Arivandandam vs T. V. Satyapal & Another on 14 October, 1977
In this connection, the case law reported in (1977) 4 SCC
Page 467 (T. Arivandandam versus T. V. Satyapal and another) may be referred
wherein Hon'ble Apex Court held that if on a meaningful and not formal reading of
the plaint it is found to be manifestly vexatious and meritless in the sense of not
disclosing a clear right to sue, learned Trial Court should exercise its power under
Order 7 Rule 11 C. P.C. I am of the opinion that meaningful reading of the plaint
includes reading and / or considering the document and / or facts referred in the
plaint. In the instant case the facts of filing of the earlier suit in 1991 and of
receiving the letter of advocate in 1990 were mentioned in the plaint of 1995. As
such no error was committed by Lower Appellate Court in considering those facts at
the time of examining the applicability of order 7 rule 11 C. P. C. in the facts of this
case.
Sri Swapan Karak vs Allahabad Bank And Ors. on 22 July, 2004
'Plain reading' as referred in Swapan Karak's case (supra) includes meaningful
reading and not just formal reading. However, it is a fact that the observation of
learned lower Appellate Court regarding bar on account of Stamp Act is not proper
and is rather out of context.
