Chakiri Yanadi & Anr., reported in (2011) 9 SCC 788 and pointedly referred to the observations made in para no.11. He has also referred to the averments in the plaint being Special Civil Suit No.123/2010 for the background of the facts to make his submission that the contention has been raised challenging the sale deed, which is stated to have been made in collusion, however, the said aspect could be considered on the basis of evidence.
