IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH RSA No. 2108 of 2005 (O&M) Date of Decision: 04.12. 2008 Gurtej Singh and another ...... Appellants Versus Paramveer Singh and others ...... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ajay Tewari 1. Whether Reporters of local papers 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? Present: Mr.J.R.Mittal,Sr. Advocate with Mr. Kashmir Singh, Advocate for the appellants. Mr. J.S.Virk, Advocate for the respondents. **** Ajay Tewari, J. This appeal has been filed against that portion of the judgment of the learned lower Appellate Court whereby he has decreed the suit of the respondent for specific performance reversing the finding of the trial Court wherein the trial Court had accepted the agreement in favour of the respondents but had refused the relief of specific performance on the ground that the appellants (defendants No. 2 and 3) were bona fide purchasers. In para 12 of the judgment the trial Court has returned this finding in a most cavalier fashion without discussing any evidence. On the contrary in para 31 the learned lower Appellate Court has discussed the RSA No. 2108 of 2005 (O&M) -2- evidence of each of the appellants and has brought out the fact that none of them even stated that they had made any inquiry before entering into the transaction with Sikander Singh. The Court also noticed the unseemly haste with which the transaction in dispute was concluded. In my opinion the finding of fact regarding the fides of the transaction entered into by the appellant has been amply justified by the learned lower Appellate Court. Learned senior counsel for the appellant has not been able to persuade me that these findings of fact are either perverse or can be held to be not arising from the material on the record. Consequently this appeal is dismissed. No costs. (AJAY TEWARI) JUDGE December 04, 2008 sunita
