JUDGEMENT
Umeshwar Pandey, J. -
(1.) The appellants-plaintiffs in the present First Appeal From
Order challenge the Judgment and Order dated
16-2-2000 of the 1st. Additional District Judge
Jaunpur passed in Civil Appeal No. 79 of 1998
remanding the case after setting aside trial
court's Judgment dated 6-1-1984 whereby it
(trial court) had decreed the suit for specific
performance of contract.
(2.) The plaintiffs-appellants had filed a suit
for specific performance of contract dated 13-2-1979 and had prayed before the Court to
direct the respondents-defendants to execute
the sale deed in pursuance to the aforesaid
agreement, else the same may be executed by
the Court itself. The suit was contested by the
defendants and written statement was filed. The
parties in support of their contentions/pleadings
led evidence before the trial Court and
after closure of evidence and upon giving full
hearing to the parties, the suit was decreed.
The defendants thereupon preferred the First
Appeal (Civil Appeal No. 79 of 1998) before
the District Judge which was ultimately decided
vide impugned judgment by the court of 1st.
Additional District Judge. The lower appellate
Judge during the course of appeal had permitted certain additional documentary evidence
filed on behalf of the defendants and on making overall consideration of the effect of the
said new documents, the learned Additional
District Judge gave a finding that certain aspect of the matter touching to the merit of the
case, inasmuch as being vital to the contentions raised by the defendants, had not been
properly considered by the trial Court. He also
observed that since the appellate Court had
accepted certain additional documentary evidence
it was found just and proper to set aside
the Judgment and decree of the trial Court
and remand the case to that Court for recording
fresh findings and for giving decision on all
the issues after affording opportunity of leading evidence to the parties.
(3.) Aggrieved with the aforesaid direction
of the appellate Court, remanding the case to
the trial Court the plaintiffs have come up in
this appeal.;
