1 - 8 of 8 (0.19 seconds)Shri Vishwa Nath Sharma vs Shyam Shanker Goela & Anr on 26 February, 2007
The aforesaid proposition of law has been again reiterated by the
Apex Court in the case of Vishwa nath Sharma vs. Shyam Sankar Goela reported
in (2007) 10 SCC 595. The position, however, will be different if the Government
before the disposal of the suit rejects the prayer of permission for transfer in
favour of the plaintiff and such decision attains finality for not challenging the
same before the appropriate authority prescribed in the Act of 1993 or due to
affirmation of the same by the highest Court of the Nation.
Purna Chandra Chakrabarty And Ors. vs Kalipada Roy And Anr. on 18 February, 1942
It is now settled law that failure to stamp a document properly does not
affect the validity of the transaction embodied therein but merely renders the
document inadmissible in evidence. (See Purna Chandra Chakraborty vs.
Kalipada Roy reported in 46 CWN 477). However, in view of the provision
contained in Section 35 of the Stamp Act, the Court before which such document
is produced has the right to regularize such defect on realization of the
appropriate stamp duty and the penalty prescribed in the Act. Therefore, the
learned Trial Judge erred in law in holding that simply because the agreement
was executed on the insufficiently stamped paper, the Court should reject the
prayer of injunction. The learned Trial Judge at that stage, could demand from
the plaintiff sufficient amount of security to safeguard the interest of the State
Revenue but there was no justification of rejecting the prayer of injunction when
existence of such agreement and acceptance of earnest money of Rs.5 lakh has
been admitted and it has appeared from the materials on record that the
defendants Nos.1 and 2 have not returned back the amount of earnest money
while cancelling the agreement.
