Rangammal vs Kuppuswami & Anr on 13 May, 2011
In support of the case of defendant he
relied on AIR 2011 Supreme Court Page No.2344 in the case of
Rangammal v/s Kuppuswami & another dated 13.05.2011; Head
Note-(A) Evidence Act (1 of 1872), S. 101 - Limitation Act (36
of 1963), S. 6 - Burden of proof - Plaintiff filing suit for
partition against brother - Property of appellant, member of
31 O.S. No.16536/2005
other branch, included in schedule to suit - On ground that
appellant's property was sold to father of plaintiff by de facto
guardian of appellant, who was minor at time of sale because of
legal necessity - Burden to prove such sale and its validity is on
plaintiff - Cannot be placed on appellant - Objection raised by
appellant to validity of sale by de facto guardian - Cannot be
rejected on ground that respondent should have challenged
genuineness of sale deed within period of limitation after
attaining majority - Suit being collusive - Appeal allowed by
levying costs. According to the said judgment the plaintiff has to
prove that the sale deed dated 5.6.2002 is a bogus document and it
is fraudulently got unregistered by the defendant; relating to the
said dispute in order to prove the fraud played by the defendant, the
plaintiff has to categorically get examine the necessary witness and
bond writer including the Sub-Registrar, who are put their
signature on the sale deed dated 5.6.2002. The said burden cannot
be shifted upon the defendant, who is a bonafide purchaser of the
said property. It is true that some of the stray admissions are given
by the D.W.1 as discussed in the above said paras; but the total
32 O.S. No.16536/2005
defence of the defendant is that he has paid the sale consideration
amount categorically to each suit sites and purchased the said
properties as a bonafide purchaser. Only for the reason of not
mentioned in the passbook or not passed the separate sale
consideration receipt, it cannot be said that Ex.D.1 and D.7 are a
void document. Because, upon perusal of the recitals of the sale
deed, it is specifically mentioned that the owner of site No.24,
kahatha No.724 by namely K.V.Venkatachalapathy having
purchased the same under two duly registered sale deeds dated
5.2.2000 and 7.2.2000 respectively in the office of Sub-Registrar,
KR Puram, Bengaluru, sold the above said site to meet the
necessity of the family and clear the loans for a sale consideration
amount of Rs.80,000/- for which the defendant/purchaser agreed to
purchase the said site for Rs.80,000/- and the above said amount
only paid by way of cash to the Venkatachalapathy this day. Thus,
the vendor herein acknowledged the receipt of the sale
consideration amount before the attesting witness. Regarding this,
the D.W.1 has categorically stated in his oral evidence by stating
that he has paid Rs.2,90,000/- for the purchase of 4 sites from the
33 O.S. No.16536/2005
plaintiff. But, no any proof of document is produced by the
defendant except the sale deed Ex.D.1 and D.7. However, upon
perusal of the other documents B-Khatha and Tax Paid Receipts
about the suit schedule property paid for the period of 2008-2009
to 2015-2016 relating to suit schedule site. Exs.D.19 is a
encumbrance certificate pertaining to the period of 1st April 2004 to
