on 21.10.2010 and the same was enquired before the Land Commissioner and the Land
Commissioner enquired the Petition and passed an order to set aside the order of D.R.O,

Administration, the Tahsildar, Thirukazhukundram issued the Patta No.952 in The name of
Plaintiff's husband on 10.12.2010. The plaintiff further states that, after getting the Patta the

husband was in absolute possession and enjoyment of the suit property.

the Sub Registrar Office at Thirukazhukundram. Ever since the date of Settlement deed the
plaintiff is in absolute possession and enjoyment of the suit property as an absolute owner
thereof.
8. The Plaintiff further submits that the plaintiff with an intention to make residential
complex in the suit property, required a loan from the Bank then the Plaintiff herein had
applied for Encumbrance certificate on 29.9.2016 with regard to the suit property, on go-
thronging the Encumbrance Certificate appalling to the plaintiff, she came to know that the 1
defendant had executed a Sale deed in favour of the 2nd defendant by registered document
No.2566/1999 dated 22.10.1999 in the Sub Registrar Office at Thirukkalukundram. The
Plaintiff states that the 1st and 2nd Defendants are very well known all the issues and facts of
the suit property and also the plaintiff's husband personally informed to the 1st and 2nd
defendants about the legal proceedings is against the Orders of Sub Collector, Chengalpattu
and D.R.O, Kancheepuram. Moreover, the first defendant and second defendant are mother
and son. The Plaintiff further submits that the first and second defendants with an evil
machination to grab the suit property from the plaintiff's husband created the sham and
nominal document i.e., Sale deed dated 22.10.1999 executed by the first defendant in favour
of the second defendant. The Plaintiff further submits that the second defendant having
received the entire advance amount from the plaintiff's husband has got no locus stands to get
the Sale deed registered from the first defendant. Moreover, the first defendant after knowing
that the Patta stands in the name of the plaintiff's husband was cancelled; first defendant had
assured and promised the plaintiff's husband that the first defendant won't deal with the suit
property based on the Power of Attorney deed executed by the plaintiff's husband in favour of
1st defendant. Further contradicting the oral cancellation power given to the 1st defendant
and undertaking and promise given by the first defendant not to deal with the suit property,
the first defendant with a malafide intention to grab the suit property without paying sale
consideration created a sham and nominal Sale deed in favour of 2nd defendant. The Sale
deed executed by the first defendant in favour of the second defendant is not valid in the eye
of law and it has got no legal sanctity and the Sale deed is not legally sustainable and not
binding the plaintiff or plaintiff's husband. Fact the first defendant has got no real stands to
act as an agent on behalf of the plaintiff's husband since; mutually it was orally cancelled by
the plaintiff and the first defendant. The first defendant having given undertaking and
promise that she won't deal with the suit property based on the Power of Attorney deed the
first defendant is stopped from executing the Sale deed in favour of 2nd defendant. The
plaintiff further submits the plaintiff herein has approached the defendants in the first week of
October 2016 and required them to cancel the sale deed executed by the 1st defendant in
favour 2nd defendant for which the defendants refused to do so, further the defendants
attempted to trespass into the suit property in the 2nd week of October 2016 and the same
was resisted by the plaintiff and now the 2nd defendant is seriously making arrangements to
release the sale deed executed by the first defendant in favour of second defendant which was
pending in the file of Thirukazhukundram Sub Register Office under section 47 of Stamp Act
in order to sell the suit property to third parties and if they successfully do so it Esc will cause
irreparable injury and heavy loss to the plaintiff.
9. The Plaintiff further states that the said Power of Attorney, Sale Agreement and Sale
Deeds are not only invalid and not binding on the Plaintiff and will not affect her title and
possession. The above said documents are to be declared as NULL AND VOID and the
Defendants has to be restrained from in anyway not interfering with Plaintiff's Peaceful
possession and enjoyment of the suit property and alienating or selling the suit property. The
Copy of Power of Attorney, Sale Agreement etc. are also filed herewith and the same may be
read as part and parcel thereof. Further the sale deed in favour of second defendant is pending
before the concerned Sub Register Office under sec.47 the plaintiff couldn't obtain certified
copy of sale deed in favour of second defendant.

It is submitted that the plaintiff has filed the suit for the following relief
(1) To Declare the POWER OF ATTORNEY, dt.25.10.1996 vide Document No:
285/1996 of S.R.O., Chengalpattu Joint-II, executed by Plaintiff's husband in
favour of 1 Defendant as NULL AND VOID,
(2) To Declare the SALE AGREEMENT DEED, dt.25.10.1996 vide Document
No:3031/1996 of S.R.O. Thirukazhukundram, executed by Plaintiff's husband
represented by 1st Defendant in favour of 2nd Defendant as NULL AND VOID,
(3) To Declare the SALE DEED, dt.22.10.1999 vide Document No:2566/1999 of
S.R.O. Thirukazhukundram, executed by 1s™ Defendant in favour of 2nd
Defendant as NULL AND VOID,
(4) Granting PERMANENT INJUNCTION restraining the Defendants, their men,
agent/s and servant/s from interfering with the Plaintiff's Peaceful possession and
enjoyment of the suit property.
(5) Granting PERMANENT INJUNCTION restraining the 2nd Defendant, their men,
agent/s and servant/s from in any way selling or encumbering of the suit property.
(6) Awarding the Cost of the Suit
(7) Such other suitable relief and reliefs.
It is admitted fact that the above said power of attorney deed and the sale agreement were
executed by the husband of the plaintiff, who deposed as Pw1 in this case. He admitted the
execution of the said documents. Therefore the plaintiff is not entitled to challenge the said
documents and sought the relief to declare the said documents as null and void.
It is further submitted that nowhere in the plaint or in the evidence the plaintiff or her
husband never alleged that the above said power of attorney and sale agreement were
obtained by fraud, coercion, undue influence or misrepresentation as enumerated in Sec.15 to
Sec.18 of the Indian Contract Act. In fact during cross examination of Pw-1 he deposed as
follows:
Therefore from the evidence of the Pw-1 he admitted the execution of the power of
attorney deed and sale agreement. Further more on the basis of the power of attorney and sale
agreement the 1st defendant has executed a sale deed on 22.10.1999 to and in favour of the
2nd defendant. Therefore the said two documents are non-est on the date of filing of the suit.
While so the plaintiff is not entitled to challenge the above said documents. The plaintiff has
no locus standi to challenge the said documents. It is further submitted that the husband of the
plaintiff, who is the executants of the said documents, is never challenged the validity of the
said documents till this date in any of the forum and also during his evidence in this case.
Therefore the relief sought by the plaintiff is ultra vires and the suit not maintainable on this
ground alone.
If at all the plaintiff wants to challenge the said documents she could have done so
only by challenging the right and title of her husband to execute the said documents and also
by including him as one of parties to the proceedings. But in this case the plaintiff not only
failed to implead her husband as one of party to the proceedings but also admitted the right
and title of her husband in Para.2 and 8 of the plaint. In Para. No.2 she alleged as follows:
“The Plaintiff further states that, the Plaintiff's husband had executed a Settlement
deed to and in favour of the Plaintiff by registered document No.3547/2016 dated
15.07.2016 in the Sub Registrar Office at Thirukazhukundram. Ever since the date of
Settlement deed the plaintiff is in absolute possession and enjoyment of the suit
property as an absolute owner thereof”.
It is submitted that the plaintiff has also not let into the box to give evidence. On the
contrary her husband has let in evidence on behalf of the plaintiff. In fact the husband of the
plaintiff himself filed an application in I.A.No.1/2019 to implead him as plaintiff in this case
but the said application has been dismissed by this Hon’ble Court on 11.02.2020. As against
the said Order the husband of the plaintiff has also preferred a revision before the Hon’ble
High of Madras in CRP (PD) No.2281 of 2020 but the said revision also dismissed. All these
facts will establish the collusion between the plaintiff and her husband to grab the suit
property by misusing the power of this Hon’ble Court.
It is submitted that the reason assigned by the plaintiff to declare the above said
documents as null and void is that the Sub Collector has revoked the Patta granted in favour
of her husband and in pursuance of that her husband has revoked the said power of attorney
and the sale agreement orally and get back the original title deeds from the defendant by
repaying the advance amount and also informed the defendants not to act on the basis of the
said two documents. Except the said allegations the plaintiff has not leveled any other
allegations in the plaint to declare the said documents as null and void.
It is submitted that the 3rd relief sought by the plaintiff is to declare the sale deed dated
22.10.1999 under Doc.No.2566 of 1999 in the office of the SRO, Thirukazhukundram
executed by the 1st defendant to and in favour of the 2nd defendant as null void. It is submitted
that the reason stated in the plaint to seek the said relief is that her husband has orally revoked
the power of attorney and sale agreement executed in favour of the 1st and 2nd defendant
respectively and in violation of the revocation the 1st defendant has executed a said sale deed
in favour of the 2nd defendant. Therefore the said document is not valid and becomes null and
void. Except the said allegation the plaintiff has not averred any other allegation to seek the
said relief. It is submitted that the said relief can be sought by the husband of plaintiff alone.
But he has not taken any steps to cancel the said sale deed till this date. In fact during cross
examination of the Pw-1 he deposed that he has cancel the power of attorney deed and sale
agreement and also informed the cancellation to the defendants.
During his cross examination on 10.10.2022 in Page No.8 he deposed as follows:
எஎஎஎஎ எஎஎஎஎஎஎ எஎஎஎ எஎஎஎஎ எஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎ
எஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎ எஎஎஎ எஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎ, எஎஎஎஎ

எஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎ. எஎஎஎ எஎஎஎஎ எஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎ
It is submitted that in the plaint in Para No.8 the plaintiff alleged that she got the suit
property under a registered settlement deed at 15.07.2016 bearing Document No.3574/2016
executed by her husband. It is submitted that the plaintiff has not sought any relief of
declaration in respect of the suit property. It is submitted that there is a serious dispute
regarding the title of the suit property between the plaintiff and defendant. While so the
plaintiff has to file the suit for declaration also. Failure to seek the larger relief of declaration
is fatal to the case of the plaintiff. It is submitted that the plaintiff has not derive any title
under the said settlement deed dated 15.07.2016 as her husband have no right to execute the
settlement deed. It is submitted that the plaintiff has taken inconsistent plea regarding her
derivation of title to the suit property. In Para No.2 of the plaint the Plaintiff alleged that her
husband is an absolute owner and her husband got the suit property by way of oral partition
between his father and his brothers but they have not filed any document prove the oral
partition. Further the plaintiff has not furnished the date of partition, properties involved in
the partition, what are the properties allotted to the respective shares etc. Therefore the said
allegation is not correct and invented for the purpose of the case. It is submitted that either the
said Victor Jesudoss or his father have never whisper about the oral partition in Ex. B-1 to
Ex.B-8. In fact during cross examination of Pw-1 on 21.09.2022 in Page No.6 the said Victor
Jesudoss deposed as follows:
“22.12.2003 எஎஎஎஎ எஎஎஎ எஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎ எஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎ எஎஎஎ
எஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎ எஎஎ எஎஎ 3285/2003 எஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎஎ எஎஎஎஎ எஎஎ
But the plaintiff has not filed the said settlement deed dated 22.12.2003 under
Doc.No.3286 of 2003 in the office of the SRO, Thirukazhukundram executed by her father in
law. It is submitted that during cross examination of Pw-1 the settlement deed has been filed
as Ex.B-1 by the defendant. In ExB1 the father of Victor Jesudoss traced his title as follows:

It is submitted that the husband of the plaintiff has mortgages the suit property under a
Mortgage deed dated 2.4.2001 under document No.872/2001 in favour of D.Kannan, the said
Mortgage was discharged on 19.07.2006 under document No.4094/2006 in the said document
he traced the litle of suit Properties as follows:

Likewise the said Victor Jesudoss has also mortgage the suit property under a registered
Mortgage deed dated 15.05.2007 bearing document No.1074/2007 to and in favour of State
bank of India and the said Mortgage was cancelled on 05.02.2021 under document
No.376/2021. In all these documents the Pw-1 (Mr. Victor Jesudoss) has stated that he
derived the title to the suit properties under a Patta issued on 28.05.1996 issued under
Natham Settlement Scheme. In all these documents the Northern Boundary has been
mentioned as Gurunathan property who is father of the Victor Jesudoss.
Therefore in one place the plaintiff states that the suit property belonged to her father-in-
law and in other place she stated that the suit property belongs to Victor Jesudoss-her
husband. During Cross examination of Pw-1 he deposed regarding the oral Partition as
follows during cross examination 26.08.2022 in Page No.2
This defendant also rely upon the following the judgment in support the above aspects
2019(2) CTC 330 (SC)
Sec.43 of Transfer of Property Act and Sec.115 of Evidence Act – Doctrine of
Feeding Grant by Estoppel
Suit land notified as ceiling surplus and acquired by Government – Sold
subsequently by original owner by erroneous representation to plaintiff – Land
later notified as ceiling free – Revenue records mutated to show plaintiffs as title
holder – Suit not contested by Legal representative of original vendors –
Contested by 1st defendant, trespasser, who had no title under Sec.53-A of T.P.
Act – Whether plaintiffs entitle to declaration of title and permanent injunction
against 1st defendant – Held, after procuring consideration for sale by
erroneously representing to plaintiff, original vendor stopped from denying
plaintiff’s title – Sec.43 applicable – If, Transferor has defective title or no right,
title or interest, at time of transfer, but subsequently transferor acquires same
and contract of transfer subsists, such transfer is valued at option of transferee –
Sec.43 based on Principles of Estoppel and equity – Intention behind Sec. 43 –
Nobody can be permitted to take benefits of his own wrong – Plaintiff entitled to
declaration of title to suit properties and relief of permanent injunction – Ratio
laid down in Ram Pyare Vs. Ram Narain, 1985 (2) SCC 162 and Jumma Masjid
Vs Kodimaniandra Deviah, AIR 1962 SC 847 reiterated – Appeal allowed.
In fact the Pw1 has executed several documents during these periods as stated above. It is
submitted that nowhere in the plaint or in the evidence the plaintiff has specifically plead the
above said plea. Therefore without the plea the plaintiff cannot take such a plea during
argument.
In any event the fact in the above case is different from the facts in this case. In the said
case the plaintiff has executed a Power of Attorney deed in favour of 2nd defendant for
development of land into plots only but taking advantage of illiteracy of the plaintiff the 2 nd
defendant added two more clauses in the power of attorney and executed the sale deed in
favour of his father and brother.
Whereas in this case the husband of the plaintiff - Victor Jesudoss himself executed a
power of attorney in favour of 1st defendant on 25.06.1996 under Document No.285/1996 in
the office of Sub Registered office, Joint II, Chengalpattu in favour of 1 st defendant and on
the same date the said Victor Jesudoss has also executed a registered sale agreement under
document No.3031/1996 in the office SRO, Thirukazhukundram in favour of 2nd defendant.
It is submitted on the same date the said Victor Jesudass has executed two separate
registered documents in favour for two different persons and in two registration office.
Therefore the Judgment relied upon by plaintiff is not applicable to the facts of this case and
the same is not helpful to the plaintiff.
It is submitted that during oral argument by the counsel for the plaintiff he submitted that
1st defendant has executed the sale deed (Ex.A-11) in favour of 2nd defendant for a sum of
Rs.3,00,000/- which is below the market value (under valuation). It is submitted that the said
Victor Jesudoss has himself executed a sale agreement for a sum of Rs.3,00,000/- only in
favour of 2nd defendant and also received a sum of Rs.1,00,000/- as an advance from 2nd
defendant. On the same date he has also executed a power of attorney in favour of the 1st
defendant for the specific purpose of execution and presentation of sale deed. Therefore the
1st defendant has executed the sale deed in favour of 2nd defendant for the sale consideration
fixed by the said Victor Jesudoss. In this case the sale consideration has been fixed by the
principal himself and the 1st defendant has not fixed the sale consideration but he merely
executed and registered the sale deed in favour of 2 nd defendant in pursuance of the sale
agreement executed by said Victor Jesudoss in favour of the 2nd defendant. Whereas the fact
in the case law referred by the plaintiff’s counsel is totally different. Wherein the agent
himself fixed the sale consideration and executed the sale deed without the knowledge and
consent of the principal. Therefore the case law reported in 2024 (2) CTC 115(SC) referred
by the counsel for the plaintiff is not applicable to fact of this case.
Furthermore the plaintiff along with her husband and his father-in-law have created
several forgery documents (Ex-B1, B6, B7 & B8) wherein they referred the market value
only Rs.20,000/-.
It is submitted that part from the advance amount Rs.1,00,000/- received on the date of
agreement, the said Victor Jesudoss has also received a further amount of Rs.90,000/- on
19.01.1998 out of balance sale consideration of Rs.2,00,000/-. It is submitted that neither the
plaintiff nor the husband of the plaintiff disclosed the receipt of the above said amount
anywhere in the plaint or during evidence. Even during the cross examination of Pw1 he
deposed that he has not received any amount other than the advance amount of Rs.1,00,000/-
out of sale consideration of Rs.3,00,000/-.
It is submitted that the defendant has lodged a police complaint as against the plaintiff,
her husband, her father in law and one Veerabadran before the Mamallapuram Police Station
under Sec 465, 468, 471, 420, 120-B. The said complaint and FIR has been marked in Ex.A-
18 EX.A-19. The said complaint is filed against the above said persons for creating the
forgery settlement deeds in favour of the Plaintiff by her husband on 15.07.2016 and other
documents.
It is submitted that the police has also filed the charge sheet as against the above said
persons. Thereafter they filed a petition before the J.M. cum D.M. of Thirukazhukundram to
discharge them from the charges but the said application has been dismissed. As against the
said dismissal order they filed a Writ before the Hon’ble High Court of Madras Challenging
the FIR filed against them and the said appeal is allowed. As against that the 1 st defendant
preferred an appeal before the Hon’ble Supreme Court but the Apex Court confirmed the
order passed by Hon’ble High Court. It is submitted that the Hon’ble High Court and the
Supreme Court discharged the above said persons taking consideration of the pendency of the
above suit. Therefore the present suit is filed in order to escape from the criminal liability.
It is submitted that till this dated the husband of the plaintiff has not taken any steps to
cancel either the Power of Attorney or Sale agreement and also not challenged the execution
of the sale deed by the 1 st defendant in favour of the 2nd defendant. But during cross
examination of Pw1 has deposed that he has cancelled the above said documents in the year
2016. But he has not produce any documents as stated above.
The plaintiff has not established her case and therefore the defendants pray that this
Hon’ble Court may be pleased to dismiss the suit on the ground of fraud, limitation,
suppression of fact, non seeking of larger relief of declaration and non-joinder of necessary
party with exemplary costs.
