R.S.A No. 70 of 2007 ::1:: IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH R.S.A No. 70 of 2007 Date of decision : August 27, 2009 Abhey Singh ...... Appellant (s) v. Balwan Singh and others, ...... Respondent(s) *** CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI *** Present : Mr. A.K.Tyagi, Advocate for the appellant. Mr. Maharaj Kumar, Advocate for respondents No.1 to 3. *** 1. Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ? *** AJAY TEWARI, J (Oral) This appeal has been filed against concurrent judgments of the Courts below dismissing the suit of the plaintiffs challenging the decree suffered by them in favour of respondents No.1 to 3. Counsel for the appellant has raised two fold arguments. Firstly, that the said decree required registration, which is a question of law, and secondly, that the said decree was obtained by fraud, which is a question of fact. With regard to the first question, there is an unbroken line of R.S.A No. 70 of 2007 ::2:: authority which lays down that the plea of decree being vitiated for want of registration is not open to a person who has suffered the same. With regard to the second argument, counsel for the appellant has taken me through the findings of the Courts below as well as the evidence but has not been able to persuade me that the finding of the Courts below that no fraud was practised on the appellant is either based on no evidence or is based on such misreading of evidence as would render the same perverse and, thus, liable for interference under Section 100 of the C.P.C. Consequently, this appeal, as also the application for stay are dismissed with no order as to costs. ( AJAY TEWARI ) August 27, 2009. JUDGE `kk'
