Lower Appellate Court modifying that of the Trial Court and decreeing the suit of the respondent in the alternative i.e. Refund of earnest money and not specific performance (as had been decided by the Trial Court). The following questions have been proposed: i) Whether the agreement to sell dt. 06.11.1997 Ex.P1 is a forged and fabricated document? ii)Whether the findings recorded by both the courts below are based upon misreading of evidence? iii)Whether the impugned judgments and decrees dt. 24.12.2008 and 15.01.2008 can be legally sustained in the eyes of law? The question which has been argued by the learned counsel for the appellants is question No.(i). In my opinion, this question is pure question of fact. Learned counsel for the appellant has not been able to persuade me that the findings recorded are either based on no evidence or are based on such misreading of evidence which renders them so perverse as to be liable for interference under Section 100 of CPC. Once it is held that the main question is to be held against the appellants, questions No.(ii) & (iii) would also to be held against the appellant. Consequently, this appeal is dismissed. Since the RSA No.3984 of 2009 (O&M) -3- main case has been decided, all the pending civil miscellaneous application, if any, stands disposed of. November 05, 2009 (AJAY TEWARI) sonia JUDGE
