Case No. 17/2000 whereby the learned Trial Court allowed the application filed by the respondent plaintiff for temporary injunction under Order 39 Rule 1 and 2 C.P.C. and granted temporary injunction in his favour.

(2.) Facts in brief:-

(3.) The defendant appellants filed a written statement and claimed that Arjun Singh was made to sign the agreement by keeping him in dark. As a matter of fact the document in question was got signed under the misconception that it was a declaration deed and Arjun Singh signed the same without being apprised of its consequences. It was further submitted that the defendants prepared declaration deed dated 3.9.1998 in favour of the plaintiff. As per the terms of the declaration deed it was agreed that the defendant would prepare a shop in term of the agreement before 1.12.1998 and shall hand the same over to the plaintiff. In furtherance to the agreement/declaration the plaintiff paid a sum of Rs. 2 lacs to the defendant Arjun Singh on 4.9.1998 but on the very next day i.e. on 5.9.1998, the amount was taken back pleading emergent personal necessity. As the plaintiff and the defendants were on good terms, the amount was returned back without doubting the bonafides of the plaintiff. The amount was returned in presence of Mangal Singh and Hari Singh. When the amount was not returned for a long period of time, the defendants made a demand from the plaintiff. The plaintiff gave them some post dated cheques.
