The reply of defendant No. 2 as contained in his letter from Lucknow dated 14th January 1964 (exhibit A 25) was: "Regarding our talks about the sale of my house at Station Road, Rae Bareli and regarding your enquiry about the title to the said house, I have to inform you that I am the absolute owner of the portion of house proposed to be sold." "I own all responsibility and give you word of honour that there is absolutely no dispute about my title to the portion proposed to be sold and you should have no hesitation on that score. "Further I may add that I realize the rent of the shops which you can enquire from the tenants." Presumably defendant No. 1 was quite satisfied with this reply and asked defendant No. 2 to furnish copies of the municipal records which were shown to defendant No. 1 on the 22nd January 1964 at the Lucknow residence of defendant No. 2.
