4To what relief?
07. On behalf of plaintiff, he himself was examined as P.W.1 and on his behalf, P.W.s 2 to 4 were examined and Exs.A.1 to A.5 were marked. On behalf of the defendants, D.W.s 1 to 3 were examined and Ex.B.1 was marked.
08.Heard arguments of both the sides.
09.The learned counsel for the plaintiff has argued that the 1st defendant during his life-time being the absolute owner of the plaint schedule property had offered to sell the same for consideration of Rs.20,00,000/- out of which the plaintiff has paid an amount of Rs.7,00,000/- under Ex.A.1 and the plaintiff has to pay remaining balance sale consideration within one month and as per the terms of Ex.A.1, the plaintiff is ready and willing to perform his part of contract, at the request of the 1st defendant, the plaintiff has paid an amount of
Rs.80,000/- and obtained endorsement on the back side of Ex.A.1, though the plaintiff expressed his readiness with the remaining balance sale consideration, the deceased 1st defendant had postponed the same on one pretext or another, as such the plaintiff got issued legal-notice under Ex.A.4 and the deceased 1st defendant having received the same under Ex.A.5 had sought time and handed over originals of Ex.A.2 and A.3, but failed to perform his part of contract. The evidence of P.W.s 1 to 4 coupled with Ex.A.1 to A.5 reveals that the deceased 1st defendant has executed agreement of sale

under Ex.A.1 and the readiness of the plaintiff is established by him. The 6th defendant has admitted the signatures of the 1st defendant on the Will, however he took the plea that Perla Subramanyam had obtained signatures of the 1st defendant on the blank signed document, where as he failed to establish the same, though the defendants have took the plea that the remaining legal-heirs of the deceased 1st defendant were not added as party to the suit, however the defendants have not took such plea in the Written
Statement as such without any pleadings, the plea of the defendants No.2 to 6 have no legs to stand, as the plaintiff is able to prove that the 1st defendant had executed Ex.A.1, the defendants No.2 to 6 being the legal-heirs of the 1st defendant are under obligation to execute Registered Sale deed in pursuance of Ex.A.1 and prayed the Court to pass decree in favour of the plaintiff.
10.On the other hand, the learned counsel for the defendants No.2 to 5 had argued that the plaintiff has failed to establish execution of Ex.A.1 and that they have no knowledge about execution of Ex.A.1 as they have no cordial relation with the 1st defendant and the plaintiff taking advantage of the original documents of the plaint schedule property available with him had filed the suit to gain wrongfully and that the plaintiff failed to establish his ready and willingness and the burden, which lies upon the plaintiff is not discharged by him and the remaining legal-heirs of the deceased 1st defendant were not added as parties to the suit and that the suit is bad for non-joinder of proper and necessary parties. The evidence of P.W.s 1 to 4 is not corroborated with each other and their evidence will not help the case of the plaintiff as the plaint schedule property is not alienable in view of the condition of Ex.A.2, the agreement under Ex.A.1 has no value and Section 6 of Transfer of Property
Act is applicable, the property is not transferrable and the evidence of D.W.s 1 and 2 clearly reveals that all the legal-heirs of the deceased 1st defendant

were not brought on to the record, as the plaintiff who approached the Court as if the agreement of Sale was executed in his favour by the 1st defendant failed to establish the same and he failed to establish his ready and willingness, taking advantage of the innocence of the deceased 1st defendant, the suit was filed to gain wrongfully and that the suit is not maintainable and the same is liable to be dismissed and prayed the court to pass decree in favour of the plaintiff.
11.On the other hand, the learned counsel for the defendant No.6 has argued that the 6th defendant is the son of the 1st defendant, he performed second marriage with P. Durgamma and she left the 1st defendant and the 6th defendant was brought up by the 1st defendant and both of them have resided in the plaint schedule property. The 1st defendant has borrowed amount of
Rs.1,90,000/- from Perla Subramanyam by that time he obtained blank signed documents along with signatures of the 1st defendant on Non-Judicial Stamp paper, inspite of discharging the debt, taking advantage of the blank signed documents, Ex.A.1 was created and filed the suit. The 1st defendant has executed Will deed in favour of the 6th defendant on 15.01.2019 and bequeathed the plaint schedule property, after his death, the 6th defendant became absolute owner, however the said Will deed was torn by the defendants No.2 to 5 when he placed the same before the elders, as there is no valid agreement under Ex.A.1 and the same was brought into existence by the plaintiff in collusion with the defendants No.2 to 5 and the evidence adduced by the plaintiff will not reveal ready and willingness on the part of the plaintiff and the evidence of P.W.s 1 to 4 coupled with the evidence of D.W.s 1 and 2 reveals the collusion. As the plaint schedule property is the absolute property of the 6th defendant, the plaintiff is not entitled for the relief claimed and the suit is not maintainable and prayed the Court to dismiss the suit.

P.W.4 has scribed the endorsement of part-payment of Rs.80,000/- dated 27.07.2018.

No.861/2017 were also not filed and he has not took any steps for examining the said Perla Subramanyam on his behalf.
On perusal of the evidence of P.W.s 1 to 4 coupled with Ex.A.1 to A.3, it reveals that the 1st defendant has executed agreement of sale under Ex.A.1 and also received part-payment of Rs.80,000/- on 27.07.2018, the evidence of

for obtaining registered Sale deed from the deceased 1st defendant and the plaintiff is able to prove the execution of Ex.A.1. The Hon’ble Apex Court was pleased to held in Chennadi Jalpathi Reddy Vs. Baddam Pratapa Reddy (Died) through L.Rs and another in Civil Appeal Nos.7818-7819 of 2009, decided on 27.08.2019, which was relied by the plaintiff wherein the
Honuorable Apex Court was pleased to held para No.17:
17. Moreover, the High Court has wrongly observed that the plaintiff has not produced any evidence to prove that he demanded the performance of sale after the execution of the agreement of sale.
The filing of a suit for specific performance of an agreement of sale is governed by Section 16(c) of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, read with Article 54 of the Schedule of the Limitation Act, 1963. In addition to this, Forms 47 and 48 of Appendix A of the Code of Civil
Procedure, 1908 prescribe the format of the plaint for such a suit.
Thus, a plaint which seeks the relief of specific performance of an agreement/contract must comply with all these requirements. In the matter at hand, the plaintiff has specifically averred in his plaint that he was ready and willing to perform his part of the contract under the agreement of sale dated 20.04.1993. It was also specifically stated that the plaintiff had been demanding that the first defendant receive the balance consideration of Rs. 58,800/- and execute a regular registered sale deed at his cost, but the first defendant had been avoiding the specific performance of the agreement of sale. In light of this, in our considered opinion, all the formalities which are to be pleaded and proved by the plaintiff for getting a decree of specific performance have been fulfilled.

In view of the findings given by the Hon’ble Apex Court, as the plaintiff has specifically averred in the plaint that he is ready and willing to perform his part of contract and the 1st defendant has avoided to perform his part of contract and his readiness is supported with endorsement on back side of Ex.A.1
dated 27.07.2018 coupled with the admission by the 6th defendant during
cross-examination, this Court is of the considered opinion that the plaintiff is able to establish all the formalities for obtaining the decree for the relief of
Specific Performance of Contract.
15.The defendants No.2 to 5 have took the plea of non-joinder of proper and necessary parties, without any pleadings and evidence was adduced and
D.W.s 1 and 2 were examined on their behalf as if all the legal-heirs were not added, however without pleadings by any of the defendants regarding non- joinder of proper and necessary parties, the evidence adduced by the defendants will not help the case of the defendants No.2 to 5. Though they have took the plea that there are other legal-heirs, there is no document placed before this Court to show the particulars of the legal-heirs of the deceased 1st defendant. Further, on perusal of evidence of D.W.1, the evidence is beyond the plea took by the defendants No.2 to 5 in their Written
Statement. D.W.1 has deposed that his father has number of wives and she do not know about their particulars. Further, she admitted that the plaint schedule property belongs to her paternal grandmother. Surprisingly, D.W.2 was examined as if she is the wife of deceased son of the 1st defendant, however she has not placed any document before this Court to that effect and she deposed that “I do not know the relief claimed in the suit. I do not know whether there is any document/family member certificate to show

“I do not know about the particulars of wives of the 1 st defendant and his children”. “I do not know that I have to file a petition
before this court stating that I am the legal heir of the 1 st
defendant”.
In view of the admission of D.W.2 that there is no documentary evidence placed before this Court regarding her legal-heirship, though the learned counsel for the defendants No.2 to 5 has argued that the suit is bad for non- joinder of proper and necessary parties, as discussed supra, without any pleadings, as the evidence will not have any evidentiary value, as such this
Court is of the considered opinion that that the plea took by the defendants have no legs to stand.
16.Though the 6th defendant has took the plea that the 1st defendant has executed Will deed in his favour on 15.01.2019 and the same was torn by the defendants No.2 to 5 in the presence of mediators, however except the sole testimony of 6th defendant, he has not examined any of the witness on his behalf, further he himself has admitted that he has not submitted any report to the police stating that the Will deed was torn in the presence of mediators and he would not examine Perla Subramanyam and has not filed any document pertaining to O.S. No.861/2017 on the file of Hon'ble VI Additional District
Judge Court, Vijayawada. In view of the evidence of D.W.3, though the 6th
defendant has admitted his signature of his father, he has not adduced any evidence to substantiate his plea that the signatures of his father were misused by Perla Subramanyam with the help of the plaintiff and the plaintiff is able to prove execution of Ex.A.1. The learned counsel for the defendants
No.2 to 5 has relied upon the findings of the Hon’ble Apex Court in A.

wherein the Hon’ble Apex Court was pleased to discuss regarding the period of limitation for performing the part of contract, however as the agreement under Ex.A.1 is dated 05.07.2018 and the suit filed by the plaintiff was on 08.03.2019, it is within eight months of the agreement, the period of limitation which was held by the Hon’ble Apex Court under Article 54 of Limitation Act and will not be applicable to the facts of this case as such the citation which was relied by the learned counsel for the defendants No.2 to 5 will not help their case.

wherein the Hon’ble Apex Court was pleased to held that the plaintiff who approached the Court with unclean hands is not entitled for the relief of

on perusal of the reverse of the stamp paper under Ex.A.1, the rubber of Sub-
Registrar Office, Nunna is clear but where as the month is not clear and the same might be “6” June, 2018, however as the evidence of P.W.s 1 to 4 reveals execution of Ex.A.1 and the plaintiff is able to prove Ex.A.1 as the defendants have not called for the stamp vendor or the Sub-Registrar, Nunna to establish that the rubber stamp on Ex.A.1 is prior to Ex.A.1, the plea, which was took by the learned counsel for the defendant No.6 has no legs to stand and the 6th defendant himself had admitted that his father has signed on Non-
Judicial Stamp paper had took another inconsistent plea. In view of the discussion supra, the plaintiff who approached the Court for the relief of specific performance of contract is able to establish the formalities for obtaining the decree for relief of Specific Performance of Contract, as such the issue is answered in favour of the plaintiff.
