Dharmaji Alias Baban Bajirao Shinde vs Jagannath Shankar Jadhav Since ... on 3 January, 1994

In Dharmaji v. Jagannath, AIR 1994 Bom 254, it has been observed : "if this right as a shield is available to him as a defendant, there is no justification for a view that it would be denied to him even if by force of circumstances he as a law abiding citizen is compelled to approach the Court as a plaintiff to use that shield. The transferee is entitled to resist any attempt on the part of the transferor to disturb transferee's lawful possession under the contract of sale and his position either as a plaintiff or as a defendant should make no difference. Contrary interpretation viz. the transferee can use the shield only as a defendant and not as a plaintiff, would defeat the very spirit of Section 53A, for it will be possible for an overpowering transferor to forcibly dispossess the transferee even against the covenants in the contract and compel him to go to the Court as a plaintiff.

Thiru John & Anr vs Returning Officer & Ors on 12 April, 1977

It is well settled that a party's admission as defined in Sections 17 to 20 fulfilling the requirements of Section 21, Evidence Act is substantive evidence proprio vigore. An admission if clearly and unequivocally made is the best evidence against the party making it and though not conclusive, shifts the onus on to the maker on the principle that "what a party himself admits to be true may reasonably be presumed to be so and until the presumption is rebutted the fact admitted must be taken to be established. (Thiru John v. Returning Officer, AIR 1977 SC 1724. A person is bound by admissions in the document executed by him. The presumption is that the recitals in the document are true and if he seeks to displace it, the onus is heavy on him. Section 31 of the Evidence Act provides that admissions are not conclusive proof of the matters admitted, but they may operate as estoppels.
