Regular Second Appeal No. 3257 of 2008 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Regular Second Appeal No. 3257 of 2008 (O&M) Date of Decision: 13.1.2009 *** Smt. Balbir Kaur ..APPELLANT VS. The Sub Post Master, Barnala & Ors. ..RESPONDENTS CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ARVIND KUMAR, Present:- Mr. Gaurav Sharma, Advocate. *** ARVIND KUMAR, J. The plaintiff-appellant instituted a suit seeking declaration in respect of 6 Indira Vikas Patras (hereinafter referred to as IVPs, for brevity) amounting to Rs.5000/- each being pertaining to her and also for mandatory injunction for directing the defendant-respondents to make the payment of the aforesaid IVPs to her along with interest. Both the Courts below disbelieved the plaintiff and dismissed her suit as well as her appeal. Hence this regular second appeal. It is not disputed that IVPs in question were issued from a Sub Post Office Nogli under Head Office Rampur Bushanar (Himachal Pradesh) vide registration No.28 of 13.19.1993, for the loss of which DDR No.11 dated 17.4.1999 was got lodged by one Vidya Dutt Bhardwaj. The plaintiff as per her own admission never visited Nogli (H.P.) and she failed to satisfactorily explain as to how she came into possession of the aforesaid IVPs. The version propounded by her of being in possession of aforesaid IVPs by way of purchase from one Sahil of Panchkula was disbelieved on account of non-examination of the said person. Since the plaintiff failed to prove the ownership of the IVPs in question, the Courts below have rightly dismissed her suit. No ground is made out to interfere with the concurrent Regular Second Appeal No. 3257 of 2008 2 findings of fact recorded by both the Courts below. No substantial question of law, which is sine qua non for admission of appeal is made out. The appeal is wholly without merits and the same is accordingly dismissed in limine.
