Tyagaraja Mudaliyar vs Vedathanni on 6 December, 1935
In the aforesaid judgment, the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India
placed reliance on the judgment of Tyagaraja Mudaliyar vs
Vedathanni (1936) 38 BOMLR 373. The said judgment further
elaborates upon the admissibility of parol evidence admissible u/s
92 of Indian Evidence Act. In the said judgment passed by the Ld.
Privy Council, was called upon to decide the question as to
whether under the provisions of Sections 91 and 92 of the Indian
Evidence Act, oral evidence was inadmissible to establish that it

had been agreed that the provisions for the plaintiff's maintenance
were not to be acted on, as the document was only intended to
create evidence of the undivided status of the family. It was a case
where one of the parties was trying to give oral evidence to show
that the written agreement between the parties was no agreement
in reality and therefore, there was no contract between them.
While dealing with the said issue, the Ld. Privy Council noted
section 91 and 92 of Indian Evidence Act and laid as under:

may be proved "; and in Mottayappan v. Palani
Goundan (1913) I.L.R. 38 Mad. 226, Benson and Sundara Ayyar
JJ. have expressed the opinion that oral evidence to show that a
document was never intended to operate according to its terms,
'but was brought into existence, as in the present case, solely for
the purpose of creating evidence about some other matter is

admissible under proviso 1 to Section 92, " any fact may be
proved which would invalidate any document". This may well be
so, but in their Lordships' opinion, even if there were no provisos
to either section, the result in the present case would be the same,
because there is nothing in either section to exclude oral evidence
that there was no agreement between the parties and therefore no
contract."

In Gangabai vs Chhabubai AIR 1982 SUPREME COURT 20, 1982
(1) SCC 4, the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India was dealing with a
case wherein the appellant was relying upon a sale deed; while the
respondent was contending that the said document was never an
actual sale and in fact, she had taken a loan from appellant with an
understanding that she should execute a nominal document of sale
with the rent note. In the said case, the Hon'ble Supreme Court of
India was presented with the argument that u/s 92(1) of Indian
Evidence Act, the respondent therein was restrained from
contending that there was no sale and no oral evidence to the
contrary should be admitted in evidence. While answering the said
contention, the Hon'ble Supreme Court held as follows:
