JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) This revision petition has
been filed by the petitioner-plaintiff against
the order dated 6-5-2004 passed by the
learned Additional Dtst. Judge (Fast Track),
Parbatsar, Dist. Nagaur by which application
dated 25-9-2003 by which a prayer was
made by the plaintiff-petitioner for withdrawing the suit on the basis of compromise
dated 25-9-2003 was rejected.
2, It arises in the following circumstances :
(i) That the plaintiff petitioner filed a suit
for permanent injunction against the respondents-defendants on 1-6-1998 with a
prayer that they be restrained from interfering with the possession of the plaintiff-
petitioner over the property mentioned in
para 1 of the plaint.
(ii) That the suit was contested by the
defendant-respondents by filing written
statement and on the basis of pleadings of
the parties, issues were also framed.
(iii) That the case of the plaintiff-petitioner
is that during pendency of the suit, the defendants-respondents executed an agreement
for sale of property in dispute on 2-
12-2002 in favour of Sahabuddin and the
respondents-defendants further executed a
power of attorney dated 2-12-2002 in favour
of Sahabuddin In whose favour the agreement dated 2-12-2002 for sale was executed.
It was further stated by the plaintiff-petitioner that by the power of attorney dated
2-12-2002, the defendants-respondents further authorised Sahabuddin to take steps
on behalf of the defendants-respondents in
all proceedings pending in the Court.
(iv) During pendency of the suit, an application was filed by the plaintiff-petitioner
on 25-9-2003 In the abovementioned suit
for withdrawing the suit on the basis of the
compromise dated 25-9-2003 which was
also annexed with the application dated 25-
9-2003 and that application was signed by
the plaintiff-petitioner and by Sahabuddin
on behalf of the respondents-defendants
who was power of attorney-holder of defendants-respondents.
(v) The application dated 25-9-2003 of the
plaintiff-petitioner was contested by the defendants-respondents by
filing separate reply on 14-10-2003 stating that the respondents-defendants had not appointed
Sahabuddin as their general power of attorney-holder nor had given any power to make
compromise on their behalf and the special
power of attorney which was executed by
them in favour of Sahabuddin was orally
cancelled on 3-12-2002 in presence of respectable persons and hence he had no right
or interest to take steps on their behalf in
the present suit and further the so-called
compromise is nothing but a forged document and thus application for withdrawal
be dismissed.
(vi) After hearing both the parties, the
learned trial Court through impugned order dated 6-5-2004 rejected that application
filed by the plaintiff-petitioner for withdrawal
of the suit inter alia holding that since the
plaintiff-petitioner had filed the suit in the
year 1998 and statements of 6 witnesses
have been recorded on behalf of the plaintiff-petitioner and the respondents-defendants
have denied the case of the plaintiff-
petitioner, thus, the plaintiff-petitioner could
not force the defendants-respondents to
make compromise without their consent and
stnce there was no consent on behalf of the
defendants-respondents for the so-called
pro-forma of compromise dated 25-9-2003,
therefore. the same could not be attested by
the Court.
(2.) Aggrieved from the order dated 6-5-
2003, this civil revision petition has been
filed by the plaintiff-petitioner.
(3.) In this case, the main case of the
learned counsel for the petitioner-plaintiff
is that the defendants-respondents had not
denied execution of agreement for sale in
favour of Sahabuddin dated 2-12-2002 nor
they had denied receipt of Rs. 10,00,000/-
for the property in dispute. Further they had
admitted the execution of power of attorney
dated 2-12-2002 in favour of Sahabuddin
and the same has been produced and a recital of the power of attorney dated 2-12-
2002 executed by the defendants-respondents in favour of Sahabuddin reveals that
Sahabuddin was given that power of attorney to do anything in the cases pending
against the defendants-respondents and
thus, if Sahabuddin in capacity as power of
attorney-holder of defendants-respondents
had entered into compromise on 25-9-2003
and on the basis of that compromise if the
plaintiff-petitioner wanted to withdraw the
suit, the permission should have been
granted and hence, the impugned order in
question is basically Illegal and without jurisdiction and should be set aside.;
