ANIL KAKRIA Vs. SURJIT SINGH NALWA

Decided On March 02, 2007
Anil Kakria Appellant
V/S
Surjit Singh Nalwa Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE challenge in the present revision petition is to the order passed by the learned trial Court on 22.05.2006 whereby respondent Nos. 3 to 6 were impleaded as defendants in the present suit for specific performance arising out of an agreement of sale dated 29.04.2005.

(2.) IT is the case of the respondent Nos. 3 to 6 that a separate suit for specific performance has been filed by the said respondents on the basis of an agreement of sale dated 22.08.2005. Respondent Nos. 3 to 6 filed an application under Order 1 Rule 10(2) of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (hereinafter to be referred as "the Code") on the ground that the suit has been filed in collusion with the defendants and that too on the basis of forged documents. It is alleged that no sale agreement between the parties as is being alleged and the one being put up has been fabricated by them by colluding with each other.

(3.) LEARNED counsel for the petitioner has vehemently argued that the judgments referred to by learned trial Court are not applicable to the facts of the present case and, in fact, the applicants are strangers to the agreement dated 29.4.2005 and, therefore, cannot be impleaded in the suit for specific performance filed by the plaintiff. Reliance is placed upon a Division Bench decision of this Court in case reported as Krishan Lal and others v. Tek Chand and others, 1986 R.R.R. 30 : AIR 1987 Punjab and Haryana 197, and decision of Hon'ble Supreme Court in Anil Kumar Singh v. Shivnath Mishra alias Gadasa Gum, 1995(2) R.R.R. 179 : (1995)3 SCC 147 and Kasturi v. Iyyamperumal and others, 2005(2) R.C.R.(Civil) 691 : AIR 2005 SC 2813.
