IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. RSA No. 4488 of 2010 Date of decision: 3.10.2011 Gurdev Singh and others … Appellants Versus Ishwar Chand and others … Respondents Present: Mr. R.P.Singh Ahluwalia, Advocate, for the appellants. … ARVIND KUMAR, J: Both the Courts below on appreciation of the evidence adduced by the parties have held that sale-deed datd 18.4.1995 executed by Ishwar Chand, defendant No.1, in favour of defendants No.3 and 4 in respect of 4 marlas of land was a valid sale and that the plaintiff himself had failed to prove by adducing cogent evidence that the sale-deeds, Exhibits D-2 and D-4 were not valid. On going through the record, it transpires that plaintiff-appellants had themselves admitted defendant- respondents 1 and 2 to be true owners of the property in dispute. On one hand, plaintiffs had challenged two sale-deeds on the ground that defendants 1 and 2 had no better title over the suit property but at the same time, they also took up the plea of adverse possession against them thereby admitting that defendants 1 and 2 are true owners of the property in dispute. Both the Courts below have rightly held both the issues against the plaintiff. Otherwise also, no substantial question of law arises in this appeal for consideration as both the issues raised are purely based upon findings of fact. If on one hand, the plaintiffs are taking up the plea that the sale-deeds executed were not valid because defendant no.1 had no perfect title, they cannot digress to contend that they are not entitled to possession of land in dispute on the basis of plea of adverse possession where they admit true ownership of defendants 1 and 2 over the property in dispute. Nothing has been shown that the findings of fact so recorded by the Courts below suffer from any infirmity or are contrary to the record. No question of law, RSA No. 4488 of 2010 -2- muchless substantial, arises in the present appeal. Consequently, the appeal being without any merit is hereby dismissed.
