JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) By way of the instant writ petition,
the petitioner has beseeched to quash and setaside the order dated 9
th
November 2010,
whereby the learned Additional District Judge
No. 7, Jaipur City, Jaipur held the document,
in question to be an agreement to sell and
directed the petitioner to get the document
impounded from Collector, Stamps, Jaipur in
accordance with law so as to make it admissible
in evidence.
(2.) Adumbrated in brief, the facts of the
case are that the plaintiff-petitioner filed a
suit for specific performance of contract for
the properties, as described in para no. 3 of
the plaint, which is a field bearing khasra
numbers 281/308 measuring 10 biswas, khasra no.
285/309 measuring 14 biswas, khasra no. 286
measuring 1 bigha 16 biswas, total 3 bighas
situated in village Durgapura, Tehsil Sanganer,
District Jaipur (the corresponding changed
khasra numbers measuring in hectares are
indicated in para no.2 of the petition). It is
averred that on 25
th
January, 2003, the
defendant through its Chief Trustee Manak Raj
entered into an oral agreement to sell the land
in question for a total consideration of Rs.
1.50 cr. and the Chief Trustee received
11,000/- rupees in cash as advance. On account
of certain reasons, the oral agreement could
not be acted upon and the defendant requested
for increase of sale consideration and the sale
consideration was increased from 1.50 cr. to
4.50 cr. Pursuant to the oral agreement, a
written acknowledgment (agreement) was reduced
to writing on 21.8.2009. In the agreement
itself, the defendant admitted the fact of oral
agreement of 25.1.2003. It is averred that on
18.10.2009, the defendant trust agreed to hand
over the possession to the petitioner and
receive the balance consideration and on that
agreement also, Manak Raj, Chief Trustee put
his signatures. It is further averred that the
defendant Trust had allowed the plaintiff and
her husband to raise the construction on an
area of about 400 sq. yards, which was
accordingly raised by the petitioner. However,
the brother and the son of the Chief Trustee
unauthorizedly demolished the construction so
raised by the petitioner. The petitionerplaintiff filed the suit for specific
performance of contract on the value of Rs.
3,42,30,175/-, whereupon the court fee of Rs.
6,43,276/- was submitted. The petitioner
implored the court to decree the suit.
(3.) The respondent-defendant denied the
averments made in the plaint. He came out with
a case that the sale deed was got executed
after playing a fraud on Manak Raj.
Based on the pleadings, the court
framed the issues and the trial of the suit
began. During the pendency of the suit, the
petitioner-plaintiff intended to exhibit a
document i.e. an agreement to sell, but the
learned trial court did not allow the
petitioner-plaintiff to exhibit the document
unless it was duly impounded in accordance with
the provisions of law and passed an order dated
9
th
November, 2010, which has been impugned by
the petitioner.;
