Pramod Kumar Srivastava, J. - (1.) Original suit no. 314/2004 (Veer Pal Singh v. Munni Devi @ Mamta Agarwal) was filed for relief of specific performance of contract. The plaint case in brief was that owner of disputed property, the defendant had executed the power of attorney in favour of Radhe Shyam for management etc. of the said property, in which she had authorised power of attorney holder to execute even sale-deed of said land.

The plaintiff had been ready and willing to perform his part of contract but defendant had not executed the sale-deed, therefore, plaintiff had given notice firstly to power of attorney holder and then to defendant, and when they had not executed the sale-deed, then plaintiff had filed suit for specific performance of aforesaid contract of sale.
(2.) The defendant had filed written-statement in original suit by which she had admitted the execution of power of attorney dated 26.12.2001 in favour of Radhe Shyam, but stated that Radhe Shyam had connived with plaintiff and got the executed aforesaid registered agreement to sell, for which no consideration was received by defendant. The said contract was executed without consent or knowledge to defendant. The defendant had also pleaded that by registered deed dated 18.12.2003, she had cancelled her power of attorney executed in favour of Radhe Shyam.
