JUDGEMENT
GITA MITTAL,J. -
(1.) MR . R.M. Bagai, learned Counsel has entered appearance on behalf of the defendants. Right at the outset, he submits that this Court is required
to exercise its jurisdiction under Order 7 Rule 11 of the CPC to examine
the plaint inasmuch as no cause of action is made out on the suit against
any of the defendants. I have consequently heard learned Counsel for the
parties and also examined the plaint in support of this submission. It is
noteworthy that the plaint is premised on the admission that the property
No. A-2/163, Safdarjung Enclave, New Delhi was owned in its entity by the
defendant No. 2 who is the father-in-law of the plaintiff gifting the
ground floor of this property to her. The plaintiff has contended that on
10th June, 1997, the defendant No. 2 has executed a gift deed in favour of the plaintiff out of natural love and affection. This gift deed has
been registered at the office of the Sub-Registrar of Assurances at
Delhi. The plaintiff has also urged that she is in exclusive possession
of the ground floor of the suit property since the execution of the gift
deed.
(2.) PARAS 5-9 of the plaint contain certain details of litigation between the parties which include a criminal complaint filed by the defendant No.
2 on 27th September, 2003 against the plaintiff and legal proceedings arising therefrom. It is specifically admitted that on 10th September,
2004, the Delhi High Court directed the plaintiff and her husband to hand over the possession of the drawing room of the suit property to the
defendant No. 2. The plaintiff states that in pursuance of the said
directions, the plaintiff has handed over the possession of the drawing
room on the ground floor of the suit property to the defendant No. 2 on
13th September, 2004 and that the defendant No. 2 continues to be in possession of the same even on date. It is also stated in the plaint
that, thereafter, for the purposes of maintaining family peace and
harmony, the plaintiff along with her family has shifted from the suit
property to official/ government accommodation.
.The cause of action in the present suit is premised on events which according to the plaintiff transpired thereafter. It is contended that
after the plaintiff shifted to the official accommodation, defendant No.
1 who is stated to be the brother of Shri J.P.S. Verma, husband of the plaintiff misusing his official position by getting false and frivolous
cases registered against the plaintiff utilising the shield of defendant
No. 2, who is a senior citizen. The plaintiff has also relied on a Writ
Petition No. 2394-95/2005 filed by her in this Court praying for stay of
proceedings pending against her before the Metropolitan Magistrate, New
Delhi and the orders dated 27th May, 2005 passed by this Court staying
the proceedings before the trial Court.
Be that as it may, according to the plaintiff, these proceedings are stayed and the matter is listed for 17th August, 2007 before the Bench hearing the Criminal Writ Petition filed by the plaintiff.
(3.) IT has been stated that the suit has. been necessitated on account of the evil design of the defendant No. 1 to grab the suit property for
which pressure has been put on the plaintiff.;
