JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) Heard learned counsel for the parties.
(2.) Learned counsel for the appellant submits that the two courts
below committed error of law in drawing inference and recorded the
finding that there exists relationship of landlord and tenant between
the plaintiff and defendant. According to the learned counsel for the
appellant, the suit property was purchased by the defendant from
Rahim Khan for which an agreement to sale was executed on 14.3.1979.
The sale price was fixed Rs.30,000/- and defendant paid Rs.500/- to
Rahim Khan, therefore, the appellant is living in the suit premises in his
own right. So far as the rent deed produced by the plaintiff is
concerned, admittedly, the property was not let-out on the said date
given in the rent deed. It is also submitted that in view of vacillating
stand of plaintiff about the letting-out of the property, it is clear that
false case of tenancy has been concocted. It is also submitted that
plaintiff came with specific plea that the suit property was given by will
to them but the said will was not produced in the Court. It is also
submitted that for recovery of possession of wakf property from the
tenant, the property the Wakf Board was necessary party.
(3.) Learned counsel for the respondent-plaintiff submits that the
plaintiff proved the rent deed and that finding of fact has been
recorded by the two courts below concurrently in favour of the
plaintiff, therefore, merely on this basis of this fact, the plaintiff is
entitled to recover the possession of the property from the defendant -
tenant. As in view of the above, tenant cannot dispute the title of the
plaintiff. It is also submitted that the title of the suit property was not
relevant and could not have been examined in proceedings initiated for
eviction of the tenant under the provisions of Rent Act and the plaintiff
may not have been allowed to prove his title to the property by the
Court.;
