Sheela & Ors vs Firm Prahlad Rai Prem Prakash on 4 March, 2002
20. In the written statement filed by the
defendant, he has not once disputed the sale
deed executed by Shanti Bai in favour of
plaintiff and his wife Neelam Gupta and since,
the defendant has not disputed the execution
of the sale deed, it was not necessary for the
plaintiff to examine the witness to prove the
same. As such, it is uncontroverted evidence
on record that plaintiff is the owner of
Khasra No. 7848/1 on which the suit shop is
constructed and therefore, plaintiff has
proved his ownership for the purpose of
Section 12(1)(f) of the Act of 1961 as held by
the Supreme Court in Sheela (supra).
Similarly, the trial Court has rightly
recorded a finding that defendant is the
tenant of plaintiff. The said finding is a
correct finding which could not have lightly
interfered with by the first appellate Court.
