counsel, then, contends that the Civil Suit with respect to a Will allegedly
executed by the mother of the plaintiff and defendant no.1, namely Late
Smt. Geeta Ghai is also pending as Civil Suit No. 926/2017, before the
Court of Additional District Judge, Dwarka Court, New Delhi. Moreover,
according to learned senior counsel, if the prayer of the Civil Suit is
construed in the right perspective, the same would indicate that the case of
the plaintiff rested not only on the ground of being a class-1 legal heir but
also on the basis of a Letter of Administration dated 22.07.2017. He,
further, submits that in any case, if the claim of the plaintiff is based on her
being a class-I legal heir, both the properties left behind by late Shri
Virender Kumar and late Smt Geeta Ghai should have been the subject
matter of the instant civil suit. Learned senior counsel appearing for
defendant no. 1 has placed reliance on a decision of this Court in the case of
Express Towers P. Ltd. and Anr. v. Mohan Singh2.

reliance upon a decision of this Court in the case of Dinesh Sharma v.

Rajesh Mitra @ Rajesh Kumar Mitra vs Karnani Properties Limited on 11 September, 2023
"29. It is a settled law that Order XII Rule 6 of the CPC is an
enabling provision that confers discretion to the Court for ensuring
speedy justice on admission to the extent of the claim admitted by one
of the parties of his opponent's claim. As noted above, such admissions
can be in the form of pleadings or otherwise i.e., in the documents,
correspondence, etc. placed on record. It can be oral or in writing; the
admission can be constructive admission as well as without it being
specific or expressive, which can be inferred from vague and evasive
denials in the written statement while responding to specific pleas taken
in the plaint. I must state that the appellant/defendant has relied upon
the judgments which have been referred to above. There is no dispute
with regard to the proposition laid down in the said judgments in as
much as, (i) a judgment on admission under Order XII Rule 6 of the
CPC is not a matter of right, rather is a matter of discretion of the
Court; (ii) to constitute a clear, unequivocal, unambiguous and
unconditional admission, the Trial Court has to see the overall effect of
the pleadings and documents. For a judgment on admission to be
passed under Order XII Rule 6 of the CPC, the Court has to see as to
whether the admission of facts is plain, unambiguous, and unequivocal
and go to the root of the matter, which would entitle the other party to
succeed; (iii) if the issue raised, involve the mixed question of fact and
law, the same has to be adjudicated by way of evidence; (iv) the
discretion conferred under Order XII Rule 6 of the CPC is to be
exercised judiciously and not arbitrarily."
