LL.B. V Term

Paper: LB – 502 - Drafting, Pleadings and Conveyance

Note: This is a kind of practical paper, related to purely procedural aspect of the legal

profession, wherein it is difficult to explain the concepts theoretically. Depending upon the

facts of particular matter students, in the capacity of a lawyer, would be required to do

‘Drafting’ of:

 various applications, petitions and replies etc. of a particular litigation – which

constitute part of the court proceedings –falling under ‘Pleadings’; and

 documents, reflecting conveyance of property from one person to another person.

Depending upon the nature of such dealings/transactions between the parties qua that

property nomenclature of such a document is done. This part falls under

‘Conveyancing’.

In this scenario, the students would be required to undertake, under this subject, to do these

practical exercises in the class itself under the guidance of their teacher, after recollecting

what they have learnt in the other substantive subjects during their LL.B. Course. For that

reason, no specific book is being recommended for the present paper. Therefore, keeping in

view the nature of this paper, there is no substitute of class – lectures of the present subject.

PURPOSE OF LAW IS TO HAVE PEACE IN THE SOCIETY

It is needless to emphasize the importance of peace in society, since we cannot enjoy life to its

fullest extent without peace. This aspect is further substantiated in terrorist-stricken world of

today, where in the agenda of every world leader ‘peace’ finds top priority. In fact, peace

means and exists when there is no dispute. The dispute arises only when a person claims his

right over a particular thing and the same is disputed by the other, which creates tension and

ultimately leads to breach of peace. Here law plays a very vital and significant role in the

society, because through justice delivery system it adjudicates these kinds of disputes, arising

out of clash of interests amongst the people.

LAW CAN BE SUBSTANTIVE LAW OR PROCEDURAL LAW

The law can be substantive law or procedural law. The substantive law is the one which

actually decides the rights, liabilities and duties of the respective persons. On the other hand,

the procedural law is the one which lays down guidelines as to how to decide those rights,

liabilities and duties. In other worlds, the procedural law lubricates substantive law. It helps in

iii

determining the rights, liabilities and duties of the litigants. It is procedural law which puts

life into the substantive law by providing remedy for enforcement of those rights and

liabilities. In this way, both the branches of law are complementary to each other and at the

same time independent of each other. Indian Penal Code, 1860, Customs Act, 1962,

Prevention of Food Adulteration Act,1954, Sale of Goods Act, 1930,Transfer of Property Act,

1982 and Rent Control Legislations, etc. are the examples of substantive laws, whereas Code

of Criminal Procedure, 1973, Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, Indian Evidence Act, 1872, etc.

are procedural laws. However, there are certain laws, regarding which, due to the nature of

their provisions and the object, for which they were legislated, it is difficult to point out as to

whether they are substantive laws or procedural laws. In such cases, on one hand the

provision of such a law provides procedure for enforcement of certain rights and at the same

time violation of that procedure leads to taking away of that substantive right of the violator.

For example, under the Registration Act, 1908 if a particular document, which requires

compulsory registration, is not registered then the party to that document, claiming right on

the strength of the contents of the said document would not be able to establish his

substantive right under that unregistered instrument.

PLEADINGS

It would be beneficial to distinguish between the pleadings and conveyancing. The dictionary

meaning of the term ‘plead’ means ‘to state and argue a case’. Therefore, pleading comprises

of respective contentions of the parties in a dispute, which are reduced into writing.

‘Pleadings’, under Civil as well as Criminal Law, meant that to determine what the parties

were currently fighting about. Pleading is the beginning stage of a lawsuit in which parties

formally submit their claims and defences. In Civil proceedings the plaintiff submits a plaint

stating the cause of action -- the issue or issues in controversy. The defendant submits an

answer- the reply- the written statement- stating his or her defences and denials. In other

words it is nothing but the formal presentation of claims and defences by parties to a lawsuit.

Therefore, it includes every legal document filed in a lawsuit, petition, motion and/or hearing,

including complaint, petition, answer/reply, rejoinder, motion, declaration and memorandum

of points and authorities (written argument citing precedents and statutes).

Hence, the term pleading would be applicable to the Court proceedings including

filing of the complaint/plaint, etc., replies thereto and other incidental documents related to

the dispute filed by either of the parties. Needless to mention here that, our legal system is

adversary legal system wherein there are two contesting parties. One party stakes its claim or

right to a particular thing, which is disputed by the opposite side before the Court. Under

these circumstances each of the parties in support of its claim files in writing various

contentions and submissions in terms of the different provisions under the law before the

Court. All these documents constitute pleadings. It is only after the completion of the

pleadings that a matter is argued and subsequently the dispute is adjudicated by the Court.

Under this part of the subject we would be learning drafting of various kinds of pleadings, as

mentioned in the syllabus.

CONVEYANCING

On the other hand the dictionary meaning of the ’conveyance’ is ‘an act by which property is

conveyed or voluntarily transferred from one person to another by means of a written

statement and other formalities’. It also means ‘instrument’ itself. Therefore, the term

conveyancing does not apply to the Court proceedings, rather it is applicable to the

instrument, which have been documented not for the purpose of Court proceedings, rather for

the purpose of creating evidence of a particular transaction, which may be used before the

Court in case of any dispute. So broadly speaking the pleading and conveyancing may be

distinguished by simply stating that while the pleadings are applicable to Court proceedings

and conveyancing is applicable to the documentation done outside the Court and not meant

for the Court proceedings particularly, though they may be used in the Court proceeding, in

order to substantiate a particular contention, claim or submission. Under this part of the

subject we would be learning drafting of diverse documents, reflecting different kinds of

transactions between the parties, as mentioned in the syllabus.

DRAFTING RULES & SKILLS

Drafting in general means, putting one’s own ideas in writing. Drafting of any matter is an art.

Drafting of legal matters requires greater skills and efficiencies. It requires thorough

knowledge of law, procedure, settled judicial principles, besides proficiency in English

language. A perfect drafting of matters in relation to suits, applications, complaints, writ

petition, appeals, revision, reviews and other such matters connected therewith shall

obviously lead to good result in terms of money, time, energy and expectation of not only the

learned members of the Bench, but also the Bar as well as the parties to the litigation. It

creates a congenial atmosphere where the glory of the judiciary and the Law grows to skyheights.

So is the case with regard to the drafting of conveyance/deeds.

Drafting, Pleadings and Conveyance (DPC) is made as a compulsory practical subject

forming part of the curriculum of the Law Course in India. It envisages, inter alia, drafting of

civil pleadings; criminal complaints and other proceedings; writ petition, appeal-civil,

criminal; and also SLP; contempt petition, interlocutory applications, etc. A student who

acquires the requisite knowledge, perfection and proficiency in drafting of these matters, shall

undoubtedly become a perfect legal professional.

History of Pleadings

The method of arriving at an issue by alternate allegations has been practised in the civilized

countries from earliest times. The art of pleadings apparently is as ancient as any portion of

our procedural law. In ancient India it certainly existed but not in the present form. The art of

pleading is also traceable in substantially the same form in England in the days of Henry II.

The “issue” was found in the first year of the reign of Edward II. It shows that the art of

arriving at an issue was not only practised during the reign of Edward II but had been

practised even before “for an issue had not been only the constant effect, but the professed

aim and the object of pleading”. At first the pleadings were oral. The parties actually

appeared in person in open Court and oral altercation took place in the presence of the judges.

These oral pleading were conducted either by the party himself or by a person who was an

eloquent orator and well versed in Dharma Sastras and Koran whom people generally called

Pandit and Maulvi in ancient and medieval India respectively. In English countries such

person was called narrator and advocates before the adoption of this present lawyers’

institution. The Pandits, Maulvis and narrators helped Kings and Judges in the administration

of justice in those days.

The duty of the King and the judge was to superindent i.e. to ‘moderate’ the oral contentions

conducted before him. His aim was to arrive at some specific point or matter affirmed on the

one side, and denied on the other, and accordingly the parties were said to be ‘at issue’ and

the pleadings were over. The parties, then, were ready to go before a jury if it were at issue. In

those days the judges were very strict and they never allowed more than one issue in respect

of each cause of action. When a defendant has more than one defence to the plaintiff’s claim

he had to elect one out of the defences. Since the reign of Queen Victoria the parties were

allowed to raise more than a single issue, either of law or fact.

During Viva voce altercation an officer of the court was busy writing on a parchment roll an

official report of the allegation of the parties along with the act of Court which together was

called record. As the suit proceeded similar entries were made from time to time and on the

completion of the proceedings, the roll was preserved as perpetual judicial record. When each

pleader in turn started borrowing parchment roll and entered his statement thereon himself,

the oral pleading fell into disuse on the obvious defect. Later, with the development of print

machinery, paper etc. the method of drawing up the pleading on the plain paper and their

interchange between parties started and this happened probably in the reign of Edward IV.

The Judicature Act 1873 in England brought in many reforms in the realms of pleading. The

modern Indian law of pleading like any other law is based on English system. Civil pleading

is governed by the Code of Civil Procedure which lawyer has to master over for the thorough

knowledge of practice and procedure required in a civil litigation.

Meaning of Pleadings

Pleadings are the statement of facts in writing drawn up and filed in a court by each party to

the case stating therein what his contention shall be at the trial and giving all such details as

his opponent will need to know in order to prepare his case in answer. In India there are only

two pleadings in a suit as defined under Order 6, rule 1 of the Code of Civil Procedure, it says

that pleading means “Plaint or Written Statement”. This definition is not very clear in itself.

The plaint and written statement are defined as:

(a) Plaint: A statement of claims, called the “plaint” in which the plaintiff sets out his cause

of action with all necessary particulars; and

(b) Written Statement: A statement of defences, called the “written statement” which the

defendant deals with every material fact alleged by the Plaintiff in the plaint and also sets any

new facts which tells in his favour, adding such objection as he wishes to take to the claim.

Beside the plaint and the written statement, other pleadings that may be filed, may be divided

under two heads: (i) subsequent pleadings, and (ii) additional pleadings.

(i)Subsequent Pleadings: The only subsequent pleading which is filed as a matter of right,

without the leave of the court, is a written statement of a plaintiff by way of defence to a plea

of set-off set up by a defendant in the written statement of his defences. No other pleading

subsequent to the written statement of a defendant other than that by way of defence to a plea

of set off can be presented except with the leave of the court and upon such terms as the court

may think proper. But the court may at any time require a written statement or an additional

written statement from any of the parties and fix a time for presenting the same (O.8, r.9). Any

ground of defence which has arisen after the institution of the suit or the presentation of the

written statement, may be, raised by the plaintiff or the defendant as the case may be, in his

written statement (O.8, r.9). This is also a subsequent pleading. The subsequent pleading, i.e.,

this written statement in some states is also termed as “replication”. This term was formerly

used in England where plaintiff’s written statement is now called “reply”.

(ii) Additional Pleading: Although no pleading subsequent to the written statement of a

defendant other than by way of defence to a plea of set-off can be presented without the leave

of the court, yet the court may at any time require a written statement or additional written

statement from any of the parties, i.e., plaintiff or defendant or both (O.8, r.8). The additional

pleadings are not subsequent pleadings in the true sense of the term. They are pleading by

way of further and better statement of the nature of the claim or defence or further and better

particular of any matter in the pleadings. These pleading may be ordered under order 6, rule 5

of the Code of Civil Procedure.

Under the English Law, pleading has been defined as follows: “pleading includes any petition

or summons and also include the statement in writing of the claim or demand of any plaintiff

and of the defence of any defendant thereto and of reply of the plaintiff to any counter-claim

of a defendant.”

Function and Object of Pleadings

The object of pleadings is to assist the court and the parties to the dispute in its adjudication.

Stable. J., in Pinson v. Lloyds Bank Ltd., (1941) 2 K.B. 72, has expressed the function of

pleading in the following words:

“The function of a pleading is not simply for the benefit of the parties and perhaps primarily

for the assistance of a Court by defining with precision the area beyond which without the

leave of the court, and consequential amendment of pleading, conflict must not be allowed to

extend.”

The object of pleading is to give a fair notice to each party of what the opponent’s case is to;

ascertain with precision, the points on which the parties agree and those on which they differ

and thus to bring the parties to a definite issue. The purpose of pleading is also eradicating

irrelevancy. The parties, thus themselves know what are the matters left in dispute and what

facts they have to prove at the trial. They are saved from the expense and trouble of calling

evidence which may prove unnecessary in view of the admission of the opposite party. And

further, by knowing before hand, what point the opposite party raise at the trial they are

prepared to meet them and are not taken by surprise.

Truly speaking the object of the pleading is to narrow down the controversy of the parties to

definite issue. The sole object of pleadings is that each side may be fully active to the question

that are about to be argued in order that they may have an opportunity of bringing forward

such evidence as may be appropriate to the issues. The court has no power to disregard the

pleading and reach conclusions that they think are just and proper.

A select committee of eminent lawyers having knowledge of Indian conditions was appointed

to frame the present Code of Civil Procedure which has been amended and redrafted in 1976.

Order 6, 7 and 8 of the Code of Civil Procedure are very important from the point of view

of drafting of pleadings. Appendix A to the Code of Civil Procedure contains some model

form of pleadings which are useful.

The pleading should always be drawn up and conducted in such manner so as to evolve some

clear and definite issues i.e., some definite propositions of law and/or fact, asserted by one

party and denied by the other. But both the parties must agree on the points sought to be

adjudicated upon in action. When this has been fairy and properly ascertained then following

advantages flow from pleadings:

(i) It is for the benefit of the parties to know exactly what are the matters left in dispute. They

may discover that they are fighting about nothing at all; e.g. when a plaintiff in an action of

libel finds that the defendant does not assert that the words are true, he is often willing to

accept an apology and costs, and so put an end to the action.

(ii) It is also a boon to the parties to know precisely what facts they must prove at the trial;

otherwise, they may go through great trouble and expense in procuring evidence of facts

which their opponent does not dispute. On the other hand, if they assume that their opponent

will not raise such and such a point, they may be taken suddenly by surprise at the trial.

(iii) Moreover, it is necessary to ascertain the nature of the controversy in order to determine

the most appropriate mode of trial. It may turn out to be a pure point of law, which should be

decided by judge.

(iv) It is desirable to place on record the precise question raised in the action so that the

parties or their successor may not fight the same battle over and again.

Fundamental Rules of Pleadings

The English law of pleading has got four fundamental rules of pleading upon which Order 6

of the Code of Civil Procedure is based which are set out as under:

1. Every pleading must state facts and not law.

2. It must state all material facts and material facts only.

3. It must state only the facts on which the party’s pleading relies and not the evidence by

which they are to be proved; and

4. It must state such facts concisely, but with precision and certainty.

(1) Facts, not law

The first fundamental rule is that neither provisions of law nor conclusions of law should be

alleged in a pleading. The pleading should be confined to facts only and it is for the judge to

draw such interference from those facts as are permissible under the law of which he is bound

to take judicial notice.

Illustration:

It will not be sufficient to state that ‘Abu Mohammad made a gift of his property’ to the

plaintiff. The plaintiff should allege here the gift was made, how it was accepted and how

possession was delivered; because these are the facts which constitute a valid gift under

Muslim Law. To allege that ‘Abu Mohammad made a gift’ will be a conclusion of law from

the facts which are not to be state directly in the pleading.

In a suit for damages for negligence, it is not enough for the plaintiff to state that the

defendant has been guilty of negligence’ without showing how and in what respect he was

negligence and how he became bound to use due care to prevent an injury to other.

When then defendant has to reply to the claim of the plaintiff in a money suit, it is not

sufficient for him to state that ‘the defendant does not owe to the plaintiff’. But he must allege

such fact which goes to prove that in the circumstances the defendant does not owe to the

plaintiff. The defendant should state that he never borrowed from the plaintiff, or good were

never ordered, or were never delivered, or that they were not equal to the sample.

It is not sufficient in a suit upon a contract for the defendant to, merely, plead the ‘the contract

is rescinded’, the defendant must plead in what manner and by what means he contends that is

was rescinded.

The reason for not mentioning the law in the pleading is that it is the duty of the court to find

out and examine all plea of Law that may be applicable to the facts of the case. However, the

parties can make their submission about law any time. For example, the non maintainability

of the suit which is a point of law can be urged although no specific plea has been raised in

the pleading. The rule that every pleading must state facts and not law or an interference of

law has got following exceptions:

(a) Foreign Laws: The courts do not take any judicial notice of foreign laws and hence they

must be pleaded as facts. The status of the foreign country intended to be relied upon should

be set-forth as substantially as any other facts. .

(b) Mixed question of Laws and facts: Where a question is one of mixed law and fact, it is

permissible and proper to plead both the facts and the legal conclusion. For instance, the

defendant may say that the suit is barred by the law of limitation, or he may say he is entitled

to set off after narrating the facts on which he bases his conclusions.

the performance of which is intended to be contested shall be distinctly specified in the

pleading of the plaintiff or defendant (Order 6 r.6 of C.P.C.), as for instance, the legality of the

notice under section 80, C.P.C.

(d) Custom and Usage of Trades: Custom and usage of any trade and business shall be

pleaded like any other facts, if a party wants to rely on them. But a custom repeatedly brought

before Court and recognised by them regularly is deemed to have acquired the force of law

and need not be pleaded. For example, an occupancy tenant is entitled by local custom and

usage to cut trees growing upon his holding it is not necessary for the occupancy tenant to

plead this custom, if he wishes to rely on this right to cut the trees. Similarly, a party who

wishes to rely on the usage of a particular trade and business and if it is at variance with any

provision of the Contract Act, he must not plead the usage of such trade and business with its

detailed incident. If it is not pleaded, no evidence to prove it shall be admitted.

(e) The facts of negligence, right or liability, unlawful or wrongful act should be

specifically pleaded. Every plea of fact should be specifically raised and proved.

(2) Material facts

The second fundamental rule of pleading is that every pleading shall contain only a statement

of material facts on which the party pleading relies for his claim or defence. This rule has

been enunciated in Order 6, Rule 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The omission to observe

this rule may increase the difficulty in the Court’s task of ascertaining the rights of the parties.

Now, the question arises what are material facts?

The facts which are essential to the plaintiff’s cause of action or to the defendant’s defence. It

can be said that fact is material for the pleading of a party which he is bound to prove at the

trial unless admitted by the other party before he can succeed in his claim or defence. If one is

in reasonable doubt about a particular fact as a material fact it is better for him to plead that

fact rather than omit it because unless a fact is pleaded he shall not be allowed to prove it at

the hearing of the suit. A plea of fraud and misrepresentation in a suit must set forth full

particulars of fraud and misrepresentation, because these particulars constitute material facts

unless raised by the plaintiff or the defendant in his pleading, he will not be allowed to prove

at the trial.

Of course, a material fact can be inserted in the pleading by amendment which is the right of

the plaintiff and defendant; but when a pleading is amended one is likely to be saddled with

the cost of other side. When suit is brought under a particular statute, all facts which are

necessary to bring the suit under the statue must be alleged. When a rule of law applicable to

a case has an exception to it, all facts are material which tends to take the case out of the rule

or out of exception. For instance:

(1) If a childless Mohammedan widow claims one-fourth share in the property of her husband

as allowed by Shia law, she must allege that her husband was a Shia.

(2)Where a plaintiff claims an alternative relief, he must plead facts entitling him, for such

relief.

(3) Where the question of age or time affects the right of the parties, the facts should be

specifically pleaded.

(4) Where a plaintiff sues on the basis of a title he must state the nature of the deed from

which he has derived title.

(5) The plea that a woman claiming maintenance has lost her right due to continuous

desertion or living in adultery should be specifically raised.

(6) Where the plea is based on custom, it must be stated in the precise form what the custom

is. For instance, if a childless Mohammedan widow claims one-fourth share in the property of

her husband as allowed by Shia Law, she must allege that her husband was a Shia.

The following are exception to this fundamental rule of pleading.

(a) Content of documents: Whenever the contents of document are material, it shall be

sufficient in any pleading to state the effect thereof as briefly as possible without setting out

whole or any part thereof unless any precise words thereof are material.

Foe instance, if plaintiff’s claim is based on a sale-deed, it is sufficient to state that “defendant

has sold the property to the property to the plaintiff by a sale-deed dated......”

(b) Matters of Inducement: It means introductory or prefatory facts which should be stated in

the first and second paras in the body of the plaint or written statement. Though it is not

necessary yet sometimes it is desirable to commence a plaint with some introductory

allegations stating who the parties are, what business they carry on how they are related and

connected and other surrounding circumstances leading up to the dispute. Though these are

not material facts yet these are allowed in England and hence in India too. But the matter of

inducement should be reduced to the minimum need.

(3) Facts, Not Evidence

The third fundamental rule of pleading has been laid down by Order 6, rule 2 of the Code of

Civil Procedure. It says that every pleading must contain a statement of material facts but not

the evidence by which they are to be proved. The material facts on which a party relies are

called Facta Prabanda, i.e. the facts to be proved, and they should be stated in the pleadings.

The evidence or facts by which Facta Probanda are to be proved are called Facts Probantia,

and they are not to be stated in the pleadings. Facta Probanda are not the facts in issue but

only relevant facts which will be proved at the trial in order to established facts in issue. For

instance, in a suit of damages for malicious prosecution the plaintiff should only allege in the

plaint that the defendant was actuated by malice in prosecuting him. He must not allege that

he had previously given evidence against the defendant and the defendant had vowed to take

revenge. The plaintiff is by all means entitled to tender evidence to prove this fact. Secondly,

in a policy of life insurance, the condition that the policy shall be void, if the holder dies of

his own hand, in the defence it is not necessary to state that the assured brought the pistol a

few days before his death and made all preparation to kill himself. It is sufficient to state in

defence that the assured died of his own hand. In some cases where the facts in issue and

relevant facts are so mixed up that it is very difficult to separate them and if it is so the

relevant facts may be stated. For example, where custom is based on village administration

paper, which is the basis of claim and its sole proof. In such cases the record has to be

pleaded.

(4) Concise Form with Precision and Certainty

The material facts must be stated in a summary form, succinctly and in a strict chronological

order. All unnecessary allegations and their details should be omitted in order to attain brevity

in pleadings. Pleading is not a place for fine writing but only assertion of hard facts. It is

desirable to go straight to the point and state fact, boldly, clearly and concisely and to avoid

all paraphrasing and all circumlocutions. As far as possible an active voice should be

preferred to passive in pleading. The same person or thing should be called by the same name

throughout the pleading. The pleading shall be divided into paragraph numbered

consecutively. Dates sums and numbers shall be expressed in figures, even though the

pleading should be concise, it should never be obscure. It should be both concise, as well as

precise. The parties cannot change the case and get the relief.

A good pleader should bear in mind the following points in relation to a pleading:

i. Describe the names and places accurately and spell them correctly and adopt the

same spelling throughout.

ii. One should always avoid the use of pronoun as ‘He’, ‘She’, ‘This’, or ‘That’. The

plaintiff or the defendant should not be addressed by their names at some place and at some

place by the word ‘Plaintiff’ and ‘ defendant’, call them throughout your pleading by the

expression ‘the plaintiff’ and ‘the defendant’ as the case may be. Where one has to distinguish

between two or more plaintiffs or defendants, they can be referred to as ‘the plaintiff

Ramashankar’ or ‘the defendant-Hariharan’ as the case may be.

iii. A lawyer should allege all facts boldly and plainly. He should use the language of the

document or the act itself; and he should not invent his own language however correct it may

be, e.g. of a policy becomes void in case, “the assured shall die of his own hand.” Now, inthis

case while drafting the pleading instead “ the assured killed himself” or he committed

suicide,” plead that “the assured died of his own hand.”

iv. A lawyer should allege all facts boldly and plainly. He should avoid ifs and buts. As

far as possible complex sentences should also be avoided. Facts should not be repeated.

Pleading should be divided into separate paragraphs and as far as possible only one fact

should be contained by one paragraph embodying all necessary particulars in the pleading.

v. Every pleading shall be signed by the party and his advocate and, if the party is

unable to sign the pleading it may be signed by this agent.

vi. Every pleading shall be verified by the party or the parties. Verification can also be

made by any other person if acquainted with the facts of pleadings. False verification is an

offence punishable by the Indian Penal Code.

vii. In cases where a corporation is a party, pleading may be verified by Secretary or by

the director or by any other principal officer of that corporation who is able to depose the

facts of the case. In verification clause one should denote according to the numbers of

paragraph what he verified outy of his own knowledge and what he verified upon the

information received and believed to be true.

Alternative Pleas:

Law does not prohibit a plaintiff from relying on several distinct and different rights in the

alternative or a defendant from raising as many distinct and separate defences as he like. For

example, a plaintiff may sue for possession of a house belonging to A, as an adopted son of

A, and in the alternative under a will executed by A in the plaintiff’s favour. A plaintiff may

claim proprietary right in a land, or, in the alternative easementary right in an action for preemption

the defendant is not prohibited from setting up a plea of estoppels in addition to a

plea of denial of custom of pre-emption. A Hindu person claiming under a sale deed from a

Hindu widow may support his claim by pleading that the widow separated during the life time

of her husband and hence she was the owner of the property which she had sold to him, or in

the alternative the widow was in possession for over 12 years and thus became owner by

adverse possession.

A defendant in money suit due on promissory note against him may plead that he did not

execute the promissory note, and in the alternative the plaintiff claim is barred by the law of

limitation. But it must be carefully borne in mind by the draftsman and separately be stated in

the pleading. The court will not allow any such pleas on the ground covered by implication

unless specifically set out. Thus, in a suit by a son to set aside certain transfers made by his

mother on the ground of unsoundness of mind of his mother at the time or the transfer and

further averred that the donee was residing with his mother and was completely under his

dominion and control and the donee knew the mental condition of the donor.

six thousand eight hundred eight) for the plaintiffs flat measuring 370 sq. ft. super area. The

TRANSFER OF CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.727/2015 FILED BY THE

PETITIONER AGAINST THE RESPONDENTS PENDING IN THE HIGH COURT OF

DELHI AT NEW DELHI, TO THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD.

The Hon’ble Chief Justice of India,

And his Companion Justices of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India at New Delhi

MOST RESPECTFULLY SHOWETH:

1. That the petitioner is seeking Transfer of Civil Writ Petition No.727/2015 filed by the

Petitioner against the respondents pending in the High Court of Delhi at New Delhi, to the

High Court of Judicature of Allahabad, titled “JWO BP Misra Versus Union of India & Ors.”

2. BRIEF FACTS:

i. The Petitioner joined as Airmen in the Trade Flight Mechanic Air Frame and later

after conversion course became Air Frame Fitter after passing the necessary examination and

training. During the period petitioner also gained a promotion to the rank of Corporal,

Sergeant and later Junior Warrant Officer – Class-II, a Gazetted post. The Petitioner was also

awarded three good conduct badge Pay each after 4 year of Services for very good character

and good proficiency in his trade. There was no whisper of any kind of misconduct while

working at various places during 22 year of service as per the directions of the Respondents.

The same is a matter of record and speaks in volumes about the Character and Trade

proficiency of the petitioner.

ii. The Petitioner got his last rank after passing due examination and consideration of

last Annual Confidential Report (ACRS) Significantly in the year 1998 the Petitioner was

awarded in assessment 94 / 100 as exceptional which speaks about the high caliber of the

Petitioner in his trade.

iii. The Petitioner was compelled to file a Redress of Grievances ROG against

Respondent No.6 for non grant of leave and unwanted harassment in many ways i.e. sending

on temporary duty assigning Secondary Duties, not granting of leave and denial of even

monthly salary for four months which is a matter of record. The Petitioner has one son

suffering with asthmatic problem and came on posting to present place as per the Medical

advice of the authorities.

iv. The Petitioner was charge sheeted and later the same was dropped as he has

complained about the grievances against his Squadron Technical Officer (STO) for illegal

harassment.

v. The petitioner has all the apprehensions of his life as such filed a FIR at the Police

Station for seeking protection from the officials of the Respondents. The Security Officer of

the Respondents gave undertaking before the Police on behalf of Respondents that no harm

will be done to the Petitioner. After withdrawing the Complaint by the Petitioner, the

Petitioner was immediately sent on temporary duty to Nalia in Gujarat due to irritation of

complaint. The Petitioner had no alternative but to proceed as directed without being his turn.

The harassment of the Petitioner continued at the behest of the Respondent No.6

Commanding Officer C.O. and his Subordinates. After strong and heavy earth quake in whole

of the Gujarat in the morning the Petitioner was directed to go back to his Unit knowing fully

well of non-availability of transport which was totally abandoned due to the earth quake, the

same is matter of record. However the Petitioner has to beg for his food and somehow

reached his unit to avoid wrath of the Respondents by way of disciplinary action for misconduct

of not disobedience.

vi. The Petitioner aggrieved by such highhandedness of the Respondents filed an Appeal

under 26 of Air Force Act for redressal of his grievances. The Petitioner gave a reminder for

disposal of his appeal under Section 26 of the Air Force Act. The Appeal was rejected without

speaking order with stereo type of order devoid of merits. The Petitioner filed application for

permission to file Civil Case and for grant of leave. The same was not granted by the

Respondents and even denied the acknowledgment of the receipt. Application for extension of

service was rejected and ordered to be discharged. The Petitioner was orally threatened to

abstain from raising such applications.

vii. The Petitioner was put under Close arrest without informing his family as even

directed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in D.K. Basu’s case, which curtails the liberty of the

Petitioner in a illegal manner. The reasons are yet to be known. The Petitioner sought

interview with the Station Commander which was granted later on 9.10.2001. The Station

Commander instead of redressing of the grievance and consoling the Petitioner for his illegal

close arrest, further threatened the Petitioner with a dire consequence and of further putting

him under close arrest and threatened for Court Martial.

viii. The Petitioners Summary of Evidence 2nd is completed in an illegal manner

without providing him a copy of the previous Summary of Evidence which is mandatory to

meet the requirements of principles of Natural Justice. The petitioner is now informed that he

is likely to Court martialled by way of GCM. and since last 4 months the Petitioner is under

constant threat of disciplinary action at the hands of the Respondents for no fault of his where

as all officials under the Respondents have joined hands together to harass the Petitioner by

all means and make example case for others. The Petitioners extension application is also

rejected as the last Respondent has spoiled his ACR for the year 2003 and 2005 without any

communication to the Petitioner or in a Counseling to the Petitioner as provided under the

provisions of the Air Force Act. Hence Writ Petition No.727 of 2015 filed for initiation of

appropriate enquiry and disciplinary action against the officials for illegal harassment of the

Petitioner and for quashing of the ACRs 2003 & 2005 and subsequent order of discharge.

ix. Respondents decided to conduct General Court Martial in retaliation to certain

observations and queries by this Hon’ble Court to explain the reason of close arrest in

September, 2014. That no legal aid or defence Advocate was provided. All members were

ignorant about law and worked at the tune of the Judge Advocate and all pleas of petitioner

were disallowed in arbitrary manner. Preliminary objections were not taken by General Court

Martial on record. The Petitioner approached Hon’ble High Court of Delhi by way of Civil

Misc. Application in which notice was issued. General Court Martial without adhering to law

and provisions and principles of natural justice passed the order, “to be reduced to the rank of

Cpl. From JWO (JCO) subject to confirmation.” The copy of the order was not given to the

Petitioner to deprive him to approach this Hon’ble Court. The Petitioner was released form

open arrest which speaks in volumes about the high-handedness of the Respondents to

deprive him of any legal aid or counseling by any one. Proceeding copy of General Court

Martial were denied to the Petitioner by which denied the statutory right of Appeal u/s 161 (1)

of Air Force Act. Even affidavit of defence witness was not taken on record.

x. The Petitioner was discharged. Pension stopped. Regular threat to life is given as

numerous incidents of elimination of Airmen who raise voice against commissioned officers.

The Petitioner is in bad financial state and has no money to meet his day to day expenses. The

petitioner has no means to incur heavy expenditure in travelling to Delhi for conduct of his

case. The petitioner also feels that his life will be put to an end by the respondents. Fearing

safety of his life the petitioner has moved his family bag and baggage to District Pratap Garh

(U.P.). That the High Court of judicature at Allahabad are near to the place of residence of the

petitioner and the petitioner feels that the writ Petition No. 727 of 2015 titled B.P. Mishra V/s

U.O.I. be transferred to the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad as the petitioner has no

trust and faith in the respondent and they can stoop to any level and the petitioner fears for his

life. Hence the petitioner is seeking transfer of his case to the High Court at Allahabad.

3. This Transfer Petition is being filed by the Petitioner for transferring the Civil Writ

Petition No.727/2015 filed by the Petitioner at the High Court of Delhi at New Delhi on

amongst others the following grounds.

GROUNDS

I. Because the Petitioners have no trust and faith in the respondents as they are

prejudiced and using influence and every other illegal method to defeat the petitioner. Thus

the petitioner is seeking the transfer of the case from the High Court of Delhi at New Delhi to

High Court of Judicature at Allahabad.

II. Because the petitioner have no trust and faith in Opposite party as they had in past

acted with malice and making life threatening attempts and petitioner fears for his and of his

family’s life.

III. Because the petitioner is discharged from service and is not getting Pension and dues

and petitioner is reduced in state of penury and is not in a position to conduct case in Delhi.

IV. Because on 31.5.2015 the Petitioner was discharged. His pension stopped and he

received regular threat to life is given as numerous incidents of elimination of Airmen who

raise voice against commissioned officers.

V. Because the Petitioner is in bad financial state and has no money to meet his day to

day expenses. The petitioner has no means to incur heavy expenditure in travelling to Delhi

for conduct of his case. The petitioner also feels that his life will be put to an end by the

respondents. Fearing safety of his life the petitioner has moved his family bag and baggage to

District Pratapgarh (U.P.). That the High Court of judicature at Allahabad are near to the

place of residence of the petitioner and the petitioner feels that the writ Petition No. 727 of

2015 titled B.P. Mishra V/s U.O.I. be transferred to the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad

as the petitioner has no trust and faith in the respondent and they can stoop to any level and

the petitioner fears for his life.

VI. Because in the facts and circumstances stated above, it would be in the interest of

justice that the said Civil Writ Petition No. 727/2015 filed by the petitioner against the

respondents pending in the High court of Delhi at New Delhi be transferred to High Court of

Judicature at Allahabad (U.P.). Even otherwise there is no likelihood of disposal of writ

petition No. 727/2015 due to heavy back log of cases. The copy of the civil writ petition

No.727 / 2015 is Annexure P-1.

4. That the petitioner has not filed any other similar transfer petition before this Hon’ble

Court so far in respect of this matter.

PRAYER:

In view of the above facts and circumstances, it is respectfully submitted that this Hon’ble

Court may be pleased:

a) To pass order for transfer of the Civil Writ Petition No. 727/2015 filed by the

Petitioner against the respondent titled “JWO BP Mishra Vs. Union of India” from High

Court Delhi at New Delhi to the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad.

b) Any other and further order as may be deemed fit and proper may also be passed.

PETITIONS UNDER CONSTITUTIONAL LAW

WRITS

Meaning and evolution of the concept of Writs:

The term ‘writ petition’ in its general connotation means a Petition filed before the competent

Courts, having prerogative powers, when some special and inherited rights of the people are

infringed bu the government or its officials.

in the common laws of English this term is well settled as a ‘prerogative writ’ which means a

writ special associated with then king. It resembled the extraordinary authority of the Crown/

Court. In English prerogative writs were issued only at the suit of the king but later on it was

made available to the subject also.

Habeas Corpus

Habeas Corpus is a writ requiring the body of a person to be brought before a judge or Court.

In other words, it is prerogative process for securing the liberty of the subject which affords

an effective means of immediate reLease form unlawful unjustifiable detention whether in

prison or in private custody. It is an ancient supreme right of the subject. Its object is the

vindication of the right of the personal liberty of the subject. The High Courts and The

Supreme Court have got a very wide power of protecting the liberty of subjects, under

Art.226 and Art.32 respectively of the Constitution. These powers are to be exercised on

certain fixed judicial principles and not in an arbitrary manner. The jurisdiction can be

exercised if the Court is satisfied that the detention is illegal or improper, where the Court can

also embark upon an inquiry as to whether the enactment under which a person is detained is

proper or not. A proceeding of habeas corpus is essential of a civil character, and is concerned

with the personal liberty of a citizen. However, the power is exercised on the criminal side of

the High Court’s appellate jurisdiction. The High Courts and the Supreme Court exercise this

power when satisfied that the matter is of urgency, and no other legal remedy is available.

An application for habeas corpus may be made by any person interested in the liberty of the

detenue without unreasonable delay; and it must be supported by an affidavit of the petitioner.

Ordinarily a rule nisi (to show cause) is issued by the Court in the first instance. It is not open

to Court to go behind the reasons given by Government for the detention, and it must see the

motive of the impugned law and the bonafide of the Government. If the impugned detention

has been induced by malafide and some other strenuous reasons and not for bonafide cause, it

shall be quashed and the individual shall be set at liberty.

Mandamus

It is high prerogative writ of a most extensive remedial nature. The Supreme Court and high

court have power respectively under Article 32 and Article 226 of the Indian constitution to

issue this writ in the form of a command directing any person holding public office under the

government or, statutory bodies or, corporation or, to an inferior Court exercising judicial or

quasi-judicial function to do a particular act pertaining to his office or duty and which the

court issuing the writ cinsiders to be the right of the petitioner and is in the interest of justice.

It is not restricted to persons charged with judicial or quasi-judicial; duty only.

It is issued only when there is a specific legal right, but not specific legal remedy to enforce

that right. It lies for restoration, admission and election to office of a public nature so long the

office is vacant. It may , also, lie for the delivery , inspection and production of public books,

papers and documents provided that the petitioner has a direct tangible interest in such books,

paper and documents. It lies for the performance public duties which are not discretionary and

compel public officials to perform such public duties.

Mandamus will not be issued when any alternative remedy by way of appeal or any other

renedy under any other statute is available. Article 32 is limited to the enforcement of

fundamental right of part III of the Constitution only.

Certiorari

The writ of Certiorari may be issued to any judge, Magistrate or person or body of person or

authority vested with judicial or quasi-judicial functions. An order of Certiorari is an order

directing the aforesaid authorities and requiring them to transmit the record of the proceedings

in any cause or matter to the High Court to be dealt with there. It may be issued when the

decision complained is of an authority having the legal duty to act judicially or quasijudicially,

and the authority has either no jurisdiction, or there is an excess of jurisdiction.

Mainly it is issued for quashing decisions only.

Prohibition

The writ of prohibition is an order directed to an inferior Court or tribunal forbidding such

Court or tribunal from continuing with the proceeding of any cause or matter. It is an

appropriate writ ‘to a tribunal which threatens to assume or assumes a jurisdiction not vested

in it, so long as there is something in the proceeding s left to prohibit.’

The difference between a writ of Prohibition and Certiorari is that the former is issued to

restrain a tribunal from doing an act before it is actually done, while the latter may be issue

during the course of the proceeding of an act and even after the act is done and the proceeding

is concluded. Both can be issued to the person, or body, or tribunal if charged with judicial or

quasi-judicial duties.

Quo Warranto

It is a writ questioning a right of a person holding an office of a public nature, and direct him

to show an authority under which he is holding such office or exercising the right. In older

days it lay against the crown who claimed or usurped any office, franchise or liberty for

holding an enquiry by what authority he support his claim. Now, it may be issued any person

holding the office of a public nature on the application of any person without alleging the

violation of his any specific right.

Any member of the public acting in good faith and whose conduct otherwise did not disentitle

him to the relief can apply to the High Court for this writ. For instance, any registered

graduate of any university can apply for the instance of this writ against any member of

University Syndicate or Executive Council or Academic Council or any such other statutory

body of that University. Likewise, a petition may lie against the Speaker, chairman or the

parliament of state legislation or any other statutory or local bodies. If the opposite party fails

to support his claim, he will be ousted from the office and may be ordered to pay fine and cost

of the petition.

01.02.2014 as all the three people namely Om Pal, Sh. Ram and Smt. Maya are more than 30

years of age as on 01.10.2014. The about named persons were appointed in utter disregard of

Notification. The respondent, however, removed the petitioner from service although

petitioner met the requirements. That the Petitioner made representation to the respondent

vide letter dated 1.12.2014, 2.1.2015 and also met the commissioner personally and apprised

them of his grievance, however nothing materialized.

and are maintaining stoic silence on the whole issue.

5. That the petitioner have thus approached the Hon’ble court on amongst others the

(b) Because the action of the respondent is arbitrary, unreasonable, irrational and

unconstitutional.

and fulfilled all requirements.

1.2.2014.

(f) Because the action of the respondent is bad in law

(g) That the Petitioner craves, leave of this Honorable Court to add, amend, and alter the

6. That the cause of action in present case arose on 1.2.2014 when the respondent

brought out the Notification No. MCD/LF/01-103 dated 1.2.2014., it further arose when on

1.12.2014 the petitioner was removed from job inspite of the fact that he was below age and

fulfilled all requirements, it further arose when respondent appointed. Sh. Ompal, Sh. Ram

and Smt Maya despite their being average and not meeting requirements of Notification No.

MCD/LF/01-103 dated 1.2.2014; it further arose when representations were made to

respondent orally and in writing on 1.12.2014, and 2.1.2015. The cause of action further arose

when respondent did not act inspite of the fact having brought to their notice. The cause of

action is continuing one.

READ WITH SECTION 482 OF THE CODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE, 1973

SEEKING ISSUANCE OF A WRIT OF MANDAMUS AND/OR ANY OTHER

APPROPRIATE WRIT, ORDER AND/OR DIRECTION IN THE NATURE

THEREOF, THEREBY DIRECTING THE RESPONDENTS TO PLACE ON

RECORD THE DETENTION ORDER DATED 10.09.2013 PASSED IN RESPECT OF

THE PETITIONER ISSUED UNDER SECTION 3(1) OF THE PREVENTION OF

ILLICIT TRAFFIC IN NARCOTIC DRUGS AND PSYCHOTROPIC SUBSTANCES

ACT, 1988 BY THE RESPONDENT NO.2, ALONGWITH GROUNDS OF

ISSUANCE OF A WRIT OF CERTIORARI AND/OR ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE

WRIT, ORDER AND/OR DIRECTION IN THE NATURE THEREOF, THEREBY

QUASHING THE SAID DETENTION ORDER PASSED AGAINST THE

PETITIONER

MOST RESPECTFULLY SHOWETH:

1. That, vide the present petition the petitioner is challenging detention order dated

10.09.2013 issued under section 3(1) of the Prevention of Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and

Psychotropic Substances Act, 1988 by the respondent no.2 against him, in respect of which he

has recently come to know, when some officials, claiming themselves to be police officials,

visited his abovementioned premises in the first week of this month for its execution. It is

worth mentioning here that similar detention orders were issued against even other co-accused

persons, namely X and Y, which have been revoked on the recommendation of the Advisory

Board, who did not find sufficient grounds for detention of those respective detenus. Copy of

such a detention order bearing No. U-11011/1/2012- PITNDPS dated 10.09.2013 qua Mr. X

is enclosed herewith as Annexure A. Copies of the grounds of detention passed in support of

that detention order alongwith the list of relied upon documents are also enclosed herewith as

Annexures B & C respectively.

2. That the allegations, as revealed from the grounds of detention in respect of his said

co-accused, are that the petitioner was involved with other accused persons, in the activities

of acquiring, possessing, hoarding, selling and exporting NDPS items. It is respectfully

submitted that all the allegations as made in the grounds of detention are false, frivolous and

motivated ones, which is also apparent from bare reading of grounds of detention and the

documents, said to be relied upon at the time of passing the impugned detention order, since

even as per those allegations the petitioner has not committed any offence whatsoever under

the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 (in short Act). It is further

submitted that in order to falsely implicate the petitioner in the matter he was forced /coerced

to make certain involuntary statements under section 67 of the Act, which have been duly

retracted. Not only this, it is respectfully submitted that, the petitioner is made to understand

that, even other co-accused were forced/coerced to make certain involuntary and incorrect

statements from which even they have retracted at the first available opportunity.

3. That, the petitioner’s case is fully covered by the exceptions, as laid down, by the

Hon’ble Supreme Court in Alka Subhash Gadia’s case. It is respectfully submitted that

recently the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Deepak Bajaj vs. State of Maharashtra, 2010 (4) SCC

(Cri) 122 has summarized the law on the issue as under:

(a) Five grounds mentioned in Alka Subhash Gadia case, on which Court can set aside

detention order at pre-execution stage, are illustrative and not exhaustive. It was also

reiterated that judgment of a court is not to be read mechanically as a Euclid’s theorem nor as

if it were a statute, hence, cannot be constructed as such.

(b) It was held that entertaining petition against preventive detention order at pre-execution

stage should be an exception and not a general rule. However, if a person against whom a

preventive detention order is passed comes to court at pre-execution stage and satisfies the

court that such order is clearly illegal, there is no reason why the court should stay its hands

and compel him to go to jail even though he is bound to be released subsequently because of

illegality of such order. If a person, is sent to jail, then even if he is subsequently released, his

reputation may be irreparably tarnished. Liberty of a persona is a precious fundamental right

under article 21 and should not be lightly transgressed.

detaining authority vitiates detention order even at pre-execution stage. Hence, on facts, it was

held that, as relevant materials were not placed before detaining authority, it vitiated the

detention order.

4. That, therefore, under these circumstances, it is respectfully submitted that the

impugned detention order dated 10.09.2013 is highly illegal and a nullity in the eyes of law

and the same is liable to be quashed on the following amongst other grounds which are

without prejudice and in addition to each other.

GROUNDS

A. Because though the impugned detention order was passed on 10.09.2013, but till date

the same has not been executed, despite the fact that throughout this period the petitioner was

available at home and was attending all his daily routine activities. Not only this, it is further

respectfully submitted that, the petitioner was regularly appearing before the Trial Court in

the prosecution proceedings, launched at the instance of the sponsoring authority. It is

submitted that the long and undue delay in execution of the impugned detention order creates

doubt about the genuineness qua subjective satisfaction of the detaining authority in detaining

the petitioner preventively. Therefore, in view of the exceptions of the Alka Subhash Gadia’s

case the impugned detention order is liable to be quashed. Copies of the relevant order sheet

of the Trial Court in prosecution proceedings is enclosed herewith as Annexure D.

B. Because the petitioner says and submits that the alleged incident took place on

23/24.10.11, however, no detention order was passed till 10.09.13, which clearly shows that

there has been long and undue delay in passing the impugned detention order, which has

snatched the nexus between the purpose of detention and the allegations, as made in the

grounds of detention. Therefore, it is apparent that the detention order has been passed on

stale incident and on this ground also the impugned detention order is liable to be quashed,

more particularly when similar detention orders under similar circumstances have already

been revoked by the respondent no. 2, on the recommendation of the Advisory Board, who

did not find sufficient cause for issuance of those detention orders.

C. Because since the date of the passing of the impugned detention order, which is for a

period of one year only, the petitioner has not come to the adverse notice of any law enforcing

authority. Therefore, under these circumstances, purpose of the said detention order has

already been served and nothing would be achieved by sending the petitioner into custody

pursuant to the impugned detention order, which was passed about more than 1 ½ year back

for his detention for a period of one year. It is respectfully submitted that, under these

circumstances, purpose of passing the impugned detention order is no more preventive.

Therefore on this ground also the impugned detention order is liable to be quashed.

D. Because the petitioner/ detenu is a poor person and has clean antecedents. It is

respectfully submitted that he is the sole bread earner of his family, which includes his old

ailing parents, wife and minor children. It is further submitted that grave injustice has been

done to the petitioner by executing the impugned detention order, which is even otherwise

very draconian in nature, being violative of principles of natural justice. It is submitted that,

the impugned detention order is unconstitutional.

E. It is further respectfully submitted that initiation of mere prosecution proceedings

were sufficient to prevent the petitioner from indulging in the alleged prejudicial activities.

Therefore, on this ground also the impugned detention order is liable to be quashed.

F. Because the impugned detention order is not only contrary to the facts of the case but

also contrary to the settled principles of law.

5. That, the annexures annexed with this petition are true copies of their originals.

6. That, no similar petition has been filed either before this Hon’ble Court or any other

Court including the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India.

7. That, the petitioner has no other efficacious remedy other than to file the present

petition.

PRAYER:

In view of foregoing it is most respectfully prayed that:

(i) a writ of mandamus and/or any other appropriate writ, order and/or direction in the

nature thereof may kindly be issued thereby directing the respondents to place on record the

abovementioned detention order, issued under section 3(1) of the Prevention of Illicit Traffic

in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1988 (in short Act) by the respondent

no.2 against the petitioner dated 10.09.2013 alongwith the grounds of detention and relied

upon documents, besides the similar material in respect of other co-accused/ detenus, who

were detained earlier on the same set of facts and circumstances; and

(ii) further a writ of certiorari and/or any other appropriate writ, order and/or direction in

the nature thereof may kindly be issued thereby quashing the abovementioned detention order

dated 10.09.2013, passed by the respondent no.2; and/or

(iii) any other order, as may be deemed fit and proper under the facts and circumstances of

the case may also be passed in the matter in favour of the petitioner and against the

respondents.

SPECIAL LEAVE PETITION UNDER ARTICLE 136 OF

CONSTITUTION OF INDIA

The Hon’ble Chief Justice of India and His Companion Justice of the Supreme Court of India.

The humble petition of the petitioner above named most respectfully showeth:

1. That the present petition has been filed seeking special leave to appeal in the final

judgment and order dated 14.9.2012.201508 of the Hon’ble High Court of Judicature of

Bombay Bench at Aurangabad in Civil Writ Petition No.5427 of 2004 titled “Vasant S/o Sh.

Shankar Bhavsar Versus Digambar & Ors.” which was dismissed by the Hon’ble High Court.

2. QUESTIONS OF LAW:

That the following questions of law arise for consideration herein:

a) Whether in the facts and circumstances of the case the Hon’ble High Court was

justified in dismissing the Civil Writ Petition

3. Declaration in terms of Rule 3 (2):

That the Petitioner states that no other petition for special leave to appeal has been filed by

him against the judgment and order impugned herein.

4. Declaration in terms of Rule 5:

The Petitioner states that the Annexures filed along with the special leave petition are true

copies of the pleading’s and documents which formed part of the records of the case in the

court below against whose order the leave to appeal is sought for in this petition.

5. GROUNDS:

That the special leave to appeal is sought on the following grounds:

I) Because the High Court had erred in passing the impugned judgment.

II) Because the High Court could not have allowed the errors to prevail by dismissing the writ

petition.

III) Because the impugned judgments and orders of Hon’ble High Court and of Maharashtra

Revenue Tribunal, Mumbai, dated 24.10.1997, of the Sub-Divisional Officer, Bhusawal dated

31.3.1997, of Tehsildar and Agricultural Lands Tribunal, Yawal, dated 1.10.1996 suffer from

error apparent on the face of record.

IV) Because the reasoning of the authorities mentioned above that the will executed by

Vishnu on 7.1.1968, the original tenant and owner under the Bombay Tenancy Act; and the

registered Hakka Sod Patrak dated 18.12.1981 executed by Digambar S/o Vishnu do not

come in the definition of transfer as envisaged in Section –43 of the Bombay Tenancy Act, is

unsustainable in law.

V) Because with respect to the Authorities below that the incidents of transfer mentioned in

Section 43 of Bombay Tenancy Act viz. sale, Gift, Exchange, mortgage, lease, assignment or

partition are not the only incidents of transfer to be considered in reference to Section 43 of

the Act but they are only mentioned by way of examples. It does not mean the other incidents

of transfer like will or Hakka Sod Patrak do not amount to transfer and are not to be

considered by the authorities under the Bombay Tenancy Act.

VI) Because the ground No. V above is further supported by other provisions of Bombay

Tenancy Act. For example Section 32-R lays down that purchaser U/s. 32 of the Act is to be

evicted if he fails to cultivate land personally. Section 43 of the Act lay down restrictions on

the purchaser not to transfer the purchased land under the Act without the sanction of the

Collector. Section 43 (2) of the Act says “any transfer or partition of land in contravention of

Sub-Section (1) shall be invalid”. Section 70 (mb) lays down a duty on Mamlatdar to decide

U/s. 48B or 84 C whether a transfer or acquisition of land is invalid and to dispose off land as

provided in Section 84 C. Section 83 A (1) lays down that no person shall acquire land by

transfer which is invalid under any of the provisions of the Act. Section 83 A(2) lays down

that a persons acquiring land by invalid transfer shall be liable to consequences as laid down

in Section 84 or 84 C of the Act. Section 84 of the Act provides for summary eviction of

unauthorised or wrongful occupant of the land. Section 84 C of the Act gives authority to the

Mamlatdar to hold enquiry of any such illegal transfer and to decide it accordingly. Section 84

C (3) lays down that land declared to be invalidly transferred to vest in the State. Section 84 C

(1) gives the power to the Collector to dispose the land which are declared to be invalidly

transferred.

VII) Because in the Section 32 R, 43 (1), 43 (2), Section 70 (mb), Section 83 A (1), 83 A (2),

Section 84, 84 C, 84 C(3) and 84 CC (1) of the Bombay Tenancy Act, at many places the

words “any transfer” are used as these sections are having wider scope covering all types of

transfers, and not only to the six kinds of transfers mentioned in Section 43 of the Act.

Therefore the reasoning of these authorities below that the will and Hakka Sod Patrak are not

covered by Section 43 of the Act do not stand good in law.

VIII) Because the will and registered Hakka Sod Patrak have resulted into permanent transfer

in perpetuity of this land purchased by the tenant U/s 32 of the Act, without sanction from the

Collector U/s. 43 of the Act and therefore the application filed U/s 43 read with section 84 C

of the Act was liable to be allowed completely.

IX) Because the definition of transfer as given in Section 5 Chapter II in Transfer of property

Act is totally neglected by the learned three authorities below.

X) Because the learned authorities below have not taken into consideration all the

circumstances of this case while deciding the matter.

XI) Because the judgments and orders of three authorities below are contrary to law and good

conscience.

XII) The petitioner crave, leave of this Honorable Court to add, amend, and alter the grounds

raised in this petition

6. GROUNDS FOR INTERIM RELIEF:

A. That the petitioner apprehends that the respondents may sell, alienate or part with

the property illegally.

7. MAIN PRAYER:

Wherefore, it is respectfully prayed that this Hon’ble Court may kindly be pleased to:

a) Grant the special leave petition from the final judgment and order dated 14.12.2015 of the

Hon’ble High Court of Judicature of Bombay Bench at Aurangabad in Civil Writ Petition

No.5427 of 2015 titled “Vasant S/o Sh. Shankar Bhavsar Versus Digambar & Ors.” And

b)Be pleased further to pass such other order or orders as deemed fit and proper in the facts,

reasons and other attending circumstances of the case.

PRAYER FOR INTERIM RELIEF:

(a) It is prayed that interim directions be issued to the Respondent may be directed not to sell,

alienate or part with the property. Gat No. 2752 comprising of Survey No. 638/1, 638/3-A,

639/1, 639/3 area measuring 2 Hectares 87 Ares situated at village Nhavi, Taluka Yawal.

(b)Be pleased further to pass such other order or orders as deemed fit and proper in the facts,

reasons and other attending circumstances of the case.

To,

The Hon’ble Chief Justice of India

And his Companion Justices of

The Supreme Court of India

The humble petition of the above named petitioner most respectfully showeth:

1. That the present Special leave Petition (Criminal.) is filed against order dated

26.11.2015 of the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh, in Criminal Appeal No.

305-DB of 2013, titled “Subeg Singh versus The State Union Territory of Chandigarh”

whereby the Hon’ble Court dismissed the appeal of the petitioner.

2. That the present petition raises an important question of law for consideration before

this Hon’ble Court. _______________________.

3. Declaration under Rule 2(2) - That the Petitioner states that no other petition for special

leave to appeal has been filed by him against the judgment and order impugned herein.

4. Declaration under Rule 4- The Petitioner states that the Annexures filed along with the

special leave petition are true copies of the pleading’s and documents which formed part of

the records of the case in the court below against whose order the leave to appeal is sought for

in this petition.

5. BRIEF FACTS

On the night intervening 11/12.2.2013 murder of Shri Bachna Ram, who was a cook and

domestic servant of Shri Devinder Singh Brar, resident of house No. 53, Sector 28-A

Chandigarh, was committed in the kitchen of his house when Shri Devinder Singh Brar and

his sister Smt. Gurmail Kaur were in Aurngabad. The F.I.R. was registered on the statement

of Capt Jagat Pal Singh PW-11 who resides in the neighborhood of house No. 53. The offence

came into light when Smt. Babita the sweeper of House No. 53 informed Capt. Jagat Pal

Singh PW-11. On the information given by Catpain Jagat pal Singh, PW-11 S.I. Puran Chand

aforesaid recorded D.D.R. No. 46 dated 13.2.2013 in the Rojnamcha of the police-Station

East, Chandigarh and formed a Police party and came to House No. 53. The investigation of

this case remained pending with S.I. Puran Chand up to 8.3.2013. The police remained

unsuccessful in tracing out the crime till 8.4.2013. On that day, Balwan Singh S.I. PW-24 of

the CIA staff, took over the investigation of this case. He along with members of the police

party including S.I. Partap Sing PW-23 visited House No. 53. Sector 28-A Chandigarh where

Mr. Devinder Singh Brar PW-12 was present. In his presence, appellant Gurdev Singh was

interrogated and he made certain disclosures after which the further story unfolded. After

completion of the investigation the accused were challaned on the charges under Section 120-

B, 392/120-B, 302/34, 302/114, I.P.C. The accused pleaded not guilty to the charge framed

against them and claimed trial. The Court of Sh. B.S.Bedi, Session Judge, Chandigarh

convicted the accused U/s. 120-B, 302/34 and in alternative 302/114 IPC.

6. That the copy of the Trial Court judgment passed by Sessions Judge Chandigarh

convicting and sentencing the petitioner in Sessions Case No.15 of 2013 U/s. 120-B, 302/34

and in alternative 302/114 IPC is Annexure P-1.

7. GROUNDS

Being aggrieved and dissatisfied with the impugned order, the Petitioner approaches this

Hon’ble Court by way of Special Leave Petition on the following amongst other grounds:-

A. Because the judgment and order dated 26.11.2015passed by the Hon’ble High Court

which dismissed the appeal of the appellant is contrary to law and facts and hence the same is

liable to set aside both on the point of law and equity.

B. Because the prosecution only produced the partisan or the interested persons as

witnesses in order to prove the commission of crime by the petitioner. This fact doubts the

truthfulness of the case of prosecution.

C. Because the prosecution has suppressed the origin and genesis of the occurrence and

has thus not presented the true version.

D. Because the prosecution has miserable failed to prove its case beyond doubt against

the petitioner.

E. Because the witnesses have not deposed correctly and there is discrepancy in the

depositions of witnesses and the conviction of the petitioner is bad.

F. Because the Hon’ble Court ignored the fact to be considered in the case was as to

whether the evidence of PW-5 Gurpartap Singh, the approver, was reliable and if so whether

there was corroboration to his evidence on material particulars so as to warrant conviction. It

is high-lighted that it was a case of no evidence from the side of the prosecution and,

therefore, the evidence of the approver and other circumstances, corroborated by his statement

cannot be the base of conviction of the appellant.

G. Because Gurpartap Singh PW-5 lost his status as an approver when he appeared

before the learned Committing Magistrate and his statement was recorded as PW-1 on

11.9.1995. The relevant portion of the same is as follows:-

“Before 7.4.2012 I had no conversation with anybody. On 7.4.2012 my self, accused

Subeg Singh and accused Nand Singh were coming from Rajpura to Chandigarh on a

Motorcycle. I had come to Chandigarh on that date for the first time. When we crossed

Zirakpur, we were apprehended on the first Chowki by the Chandigarh Police. From there we

were apprehended and implicated in this case. I do not know where Sector 28 is. I was

threatened by the Police that I should give a statement in favour of the Police otherwise I

would be involved in a TADA case and should suffer imprisonment for whole of the life. In

the Jail also, the police people used to visit me and threaten and intimidate me. I made

statement before the Chief Judicial Magistrate on account of fear of the police. I have nothing

more to say about this Case”

H. Because the above statement will show that the tender of pardon given to Gurpartap

Singh by the Learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Chandigarh on 1.5.2012 was no, more

available and he lost the status of an approver. It is stated here that the Learned Committing

Magistrate was entirely wrong in permitting the cross-examination of Gurpartap Singh by the

prosecution by declaring him hostile. This could not have been done for the simple reason that

he did not attain the status of a witness. This being so, all the proceedings after 11.9.2012

with regard to the examination of Gurpartap Singh as a witness by the Learned committing

Magistrate or by the Learned Sessions Judge, Chandigarh stood vitiated being totally illegal.

It is submitted that from the date 11.5.2012 when Gurpartap Singh made the above statement,

he is to be taken as an accused and not an approver, he had made altogether different

statement from the one alleged to have been made after alleged acceptance of tender of

pardon.

8. Grounds for interim relief

9. PRAYER

The Petitioner herein prays that this Hon’ble Court may graciously be pleased to:

a) Grant special leave to appeal to the petitioner against judgment and order dated

26.11.2015 of the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh, in Criminal Appeal No.

305-DB of 2013, titled “Subeg Singh & Anr., versus The State Union Territory of

Chandigarh”

b) Pass any other order which this Hon’ble Court may deem fit and proper in the facts and

circumstances of the case in favour of the Petitioner.

marry her as she had feared that her family members may sabotage her relationship with the

PART B: CONVEYANCE

Definition of Conveyancing

The art of ‘conveyancing’ is of English origin. The word ‘to convey’ means to transfer or to

make over. The word conveyancing means an instrument or deed through which one or more

living person transfer his or their interest in present or in future in or upon an inmmovable

property to one or more living persons. In other words conveyance means an act by which

property is conveyed or voluntarily transferred from one person to another by means of a

written instrument and other formalities. Section 2(10) of the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 defines

the term ‘conveyance’ as:

“Conveyance includes a conveyance on sale and every instrument by which property, whether

movable or immovable, is transferred inter vivos and which is not otherwise specifically

provided for by Schedule I.”

History of Conveyancing

In ancient times, in England the deed writing was optional and it continued to remain optional

until the time of King Charles II, particularly the case in which the deed was required not to

be under seal. Writing was required only in the matter of importance. It was only during the

reign of King Charles II that the British Parliament enacted in 1677 a legislation requiring

writing for creation and transfer of the interest in landed property with an exception in case of

lease for less than three year. The Real Property Act of 1845 required all grants of landed

interest to be made in writing which came to be known as ‘conveyancing’. The present form

of conveyancing is based on the Conveyance of Land Act of 1845 and the Law of Property

Act of 1925.

Conveyancing in India is not unknown as the word, ‘Qabuliyatnama’, ‘Jagirdar’, ‘Muafidar’

and ‘Charpatra’, etc., are there from ancient days in the Indian literatures. As in England and

so in India, too, there are two types of Deeds, viz., ‘Deed Poll’ and ‘Indenture’. Charpatra

(Redemption of rent), Jagir grants, Quabuliyats, etc, were all the seal of the grantor. The

Deed Poll is a document which is executed unilaterally in the first person while an indenture

is bilateral or multilateral deed. Bonds, Power of Attorney and Wills are ‘Deed Polls’.

Mortgages, sales and gifts can also be unilateral and so these are 'Deed Polls', while a deed of

Lease is a bilateral document to be executed by the Lessor and Lessee both and so it is an

‘Indenture’. No legislation in India has ever been passed on the law of conveyancing.

The Position of Drafting in India

The condition of drafting of conveyancing in mofussil India was deplorable. It was only in the

then Presidency Towns (metropolitan cities) of Bombay, Calcutta and Madras the work of

drafting of the conveyancing remained in the hand of solicitors and barristers well trained in

the field of drafting on the lines of English conveyancing. But in the Mofussil Towns the task

of drafting of conveyancing remained in the hands of ‘deed writers’, ‘scribes’ or ‘scribers’

who have no legal knowledge but have adopted the profession of deed writing. So, the deeds

in Mofussils generally and commonly suffer from so many defects and sometimes these

defects become incurable.

Deed

In a broad sense the ‘deed’ means something done or performed which is synonymous with

‘act’. In legal sense, deed means a solemn act denoting document, and it may be defined as an

instrument written on parchment or on a paper executed, signed, sealed and delivered by the

executant. A document or an instrument through which a present or future interest in an

immovable property is transferred by one or more living persons to another living person or

persons is called deed. It is called a deed because it is considered the most solemn and

authentic act that a person can possibly perform in relation to his property. Statements made

in deeds may amount to admission and may operate as estoppel in certain circumstances.

In Halsbury's Law of England, a deed has been defined as an instrument written on parchment

or paper expressing the intention of some persons named therein who make assurance of some

interest in property, or of some legal or equitable right, title or claim, or undertake or enter

into some obligation, duty or agreement enforceable at law or in equity, or to do some other

act affecting the legal relation or position of a party to the instrument.

Historically, in England, deeds were classidfied into (a) Deed Poll, and (b) indenture deed.

Deed Poll

As the old practice in England was to indent or cut a document which indicated towards

executant of the deed; and when deed was polled or cut at the top or at the bottom it was

known as ‘Deed Poll’. It was called Deed Poll or single deed because it was executed by one

party only. A bond, a power of attorney, and a will are the best examples of Deed Poll. It is an

executed contract of conveyance made by the grantor alone.

Indenture Deed

Under the old practice of drafting of deed in England, the mark of cut or indent indicated

towards the executant of the deed. A deed is technically called an ‘indenture’ or ‘deed

indented’, because the old-practice in England was to cut or intend for the purpose of tally.

The old practice was to write two copies of the deed upon the same piece of parchment or

substance with some words or terms or letter of alphabet were so written that when one copy

was separated from the other, the substance or the parchment was so cut or indented so as to

leave half of the word or letter in one copy and the other half in another copy, so as to fit or

aptly join its counterpart from which it was supposed to have been cut, indented or separated.

This practice of indenting of deeds is no more in England and at present indenture means a

deed between two or more parties importing the meaning of executed contract of conveyance

made under seal. A deed of Lease, a mortgage deed and a partnership deed were the best

example of indenture deed according to old practice in England.

Distinguish between Deed Poll and Indenture Deed

1. Deed Poll and Indenture both are executed contract and are always in writing.

2. Both are deeds of conveyance and used as documentary evidence if needed.

3. Deed Poll or single deed is a unilateral document executed by one party only, while

Indenture deed is bilateral or multilateral document executed by two or more than two parties.

4. A Deed Poll is generally written in the first person while an Indenture deed is always

written in the third person. In other words, in a Deed Poll, the grants and the covenants of the

grantor are in the first person, while in an Indenture, grant and covenants are in the third

person.

5. A Deed Poll may be commenced with the expression, ‘Know All Men By These

Presents’ or ‘To whomsoever it May Concern’ or straightway ‘I, so and so, Send These

Presents’, while in an Indenture deed, the opening words are – ‘This Indenture of..........’ or

‘This Deed of.........’ or ‘This Instrument of.........’ etc.

6. Historically, in England, the difference between a Deed Poll and an Indenture deed

was an interesting one, but at present there is no such difference and both are indiscriminately

used for each other. The difference is only for phraseology but of no practical importance.

7. The old concept of difference between the Deed Poll and an Indenture as, historically,

was maintained in England had never found place in India. It is because an indenture relating

to real property in England was required to be made under seal which never was a

requirement in India.

Document

Documents means any matter expressed or described upon any substance by means of letters,

figures, or marks, or by more than one of those means intended to be used, or which may be

used, for the purpose of recording that matter ( sec. 3, Indian Evidence Act 1872).

Documentary evidence is an important piece of evidence of which the Court, Jury and

Tribunal take judicial cognizance.

Deed, Conveyance and Deed of Conveyance

The term ‘Deed’, ‘Conveyance’ and ‘Deed of Conveyance’ or ‘Conveyancing’ are frequently

used interchangeably to denote one and the same legal concept, and each is being commonly

understood to mean an instrument in writing whereby the grantor conveys to the grantee some

right, title or interest in or upon some real property . Thus, by the aforesaid expressions, we

mean each of them as document, indenture or instrument in writing. So , the terms,

‘conveyance’, ‘conveyancing’, ‘deed of conveyance’ or ‘conveyancing’, ‘deed’, ‘document’,

‘indenture’ and ‘instrument’ are interchangeable for the purpose of drafting of documents.

Object and Function of Conveyancing

Movable property may be physically given and taken by actual delivery, while this is not

possible in case of immovable property. Thus, conveyancing is that branch of the law of

transfer of property which deals with the mode and form of transfer to which both- the

transferor and the transferee have agreed upon. Its main object is to enable the owners of real

property to make voluntary transfers of their right, title and interest therein for some specific

purpose and for a specified period. Such transfers are not otherwise possible than by

conveyancing.

It expresses the intention of the parties to the deed of conveyance so that accordingly it shall

take effect. In case of any doubt, dispute, ambiguity and susceptibility, the real intention of

the parties may be discovered from the words, phrases and the expression used in the deed. A

transferor may have passed the property intending to pass; but if he has not expressed himself

in suitable words of the language, the deed may be defective or susceptible of two or more

constructions; and so the benefits of the transfer may be lost to the transferee. Where any

adverse claimant interposes before the transferee, may get actual legal possession of the

transferred property, it may be quite possible that the transferor with all his willingness may

not be able to help the transferee.

It helps the court and judicial tribunals to determine any dispute if subsequently arises

between the parties to the deed. It serves the purpose of both- the transferor and the transferee

in protecting their interests. It protects the interest of the transferee from any precedent and /or

subsequent acts or omissions of the transferor or any other person claiming through or under

him against the expressed intention of the grant and the covenant of the deed; and likewise,

the interest of the transferor is also protected from any subsequent acts or omissions of the

transferee. It is a document of title to the property and forms the basis of a record of rights

maintained by the Government. It is, also, a documentary piece of evidence.

COMPONENTS OF DEEDS

Drafting of a deed involves the law by which parties are governed, effect of the transaction

and certainty and clarity by using appropriate words and expressions. An ordinary deed of

transfer may conveniently be divided into the following parts: Description of the deed; Date;

Parties; Recitals; Testatum; Consideration; Receipt; Operative words; Parcels; Exception and

Reservations (if any); Habendum; Covenants (if any); Testimonium. The part of the deed

which precedes the habendum is termed as “the premises”. Each of these parts will now be

separately considered.

A) DESCRIPTION/NAME/TITLE OF THE DEED

All deeds should be described by the name of the transaction such as “THIS DEED OF

MORTGAGE”, THIS DEED OF SALE”, THIS LEASE”, THIS DEED OF GIFT”, etc. When

the deed is of a complex character and evidences different transactions known by different

legal names, or the conveyancer is not sure what name should properly be given to it, it would

be best to describe it simply as “THIS DEED”. The description is usually written in capitals.

B) DATE AND PLACE

After the description of the deed is stated, the date on which it is executed shall be stated:

“THIS LEASE made on the first day of February one thousand nine hundred and

ninety nine.”

The date of a deed is the date on which it is singed by the party or parties executing it. When

there is only one party to a deed, as in the case of Deed Poll, or when all the parties sign it on

one and the same date, or when, though there are several parties to a deed, all do not sign and

those who sign do so on one date, there is no difficulty. But if several parties to a deed sign it

on different dates, the question is which date should be entered as the date of deed. The

practice is to regard the last of such dates as the date of the deed.

The date should, in order to avoid mistake and risk of forgery, be written in words and not in

figures. Figures may be added within parenthesis.

In every case in which a deed is executed by more than one person, the date on which each

signs the deed must be shown in the deed, preferably against his signature.

The place where the deed is executed must be specified very clearly and generally at the start

of the document.

C) PARTIES TO THE DEED

1. Transferee

After the date, the names and description of the parties to the deed are mentioned. Who are

the necessary and proper parties to a deed depends on the circumstances of each case.

Although a transferee is not a necessary party, and a deed will not be invalid or ineffective if

he is not mentioned as such, except in the case of a Lease, he is certainly a proper party. It is

always advisable to make him a party.

2. Third person

Sometimes it is necessary or expedient, in order to validate a transfer or to give a complete

title to the transferee, or to avoid possible disputes or doubts in that regard, to obtain the

consent or concurrence of a third person. In such cases, such third person may also be joined

as parties.

3. Description

Full description of the parties so as to prevent difficulty of identification should follow the

name. In India, parentage, occupation and residence including Municipal or survey number,

street and city and in the case of resident of a rural area the village, sub-division, tehsil and/or

development block are generally regarded as sufficient to identify a man, but if there is any

other description which is sufficient, the same may be normally adopted. Where the transferor

is as member of a scheduled caste or scheduled tribe for whose protection the statute places

restrictions on his right to transfer it may be necessary to mention such caste or tribe while

reciting the fact of permission for the transfer having been obtained from the competent

authority.

4. Juridical Person

A party to a transfer need not be a living individual but may be a company, or association or

body of individuals or an idol or a corporation sole or aggregate, or in fact, any juridical

person capable of holding property and entering into contracts.

5. Idol

As an idol has to act through some natural person, the name of the latter should be disclosed.

6. Reference Labels of Parties

In order to avoid the repetition of the full name and description at every place, the parties are

generally referred to in the body of the deed by some easy and convenient names which

generally have reference to the character in which they join the deed, such as ‘the vendor’,

‘the purchaser’, ‘the lessor’, ‘the lessee’, In order to avoid mistakes in writing words

resembling each other for opposite parties, e.g., a combination of ‘mortgagor’ and

‘mortgagee’ or ‘vendor’ and ‘vendee’, they prefer to use a combination of ‘borrower’ and

‘mortgagee’, or ‘vendor’ and ‘purchaser’. If no such name is adopted, the parties can be

referred to as ‘the party of the first part’ (or ‘the first party’), ‘the party of the second part’ (or

‘the second party’), ‘the said AB’, ‘the said CD’, but is is always preferable to give each party

some short name for reference. Whatever short name is adopted the party should be referred

to throughout by the same name.

The form, in which the parties will be described in the beginning of the deed, would thus be

as follows:

“This SALE DEED is made on the_______day of _______BETWEEN AB (hereinafter

called ‘the Vendor’) of the one part and CD (hereinafter called ‘the Purchaser’), of the other

part.”

If the transferor along is made a party, this clause will run as follows:

“The SALE DEED is made on the _______day of________by AB (hereinafter called

‘the Vendor’)”.

If there are more than two parties, instead of the works “of the one part” and “of the other

part” the works “ of the first part”, “of the second part”, “of the third part”, etc., should be

used.

D) RECITALS

Recitals are of two kinds: (1) Narrative Recitals, relates to the past history of the property

transferred and set out facts and instruments necessary to show the title and the relation of the

parties to the subject-matter of the deed; and (2) Introductory Recitals, which explain the

motive for the preparation and execution of the deed.

Form of Recitals

Recitals generally begin with the word ‘WHEREAS’, but, when there are several recitals, one

can either repeat the word before every one of them, by beginning the second and subsequent

ones with the words ‘AND WHEREAS’, or divide the recitals into numbered paragraphs with

the word ‘WHEREAS’ at the top.

E) Testatum

The next part of a deed consists of the operative part. It commences with a witnessing clause

termed the ‘testatum’, which refers to the introductory recitals of the agreement (if any) and

also states the consideration (if any) and recites acknowledgement of its receipt. The

witnessing clause usually begins with the words ‘NOW THIS DEED WITNESSES’. These

words of testatum are of no importance as affecting the operation of the deed and their sole

use is to direct attention to the object which the deed is intended to serve several objects, use

the words ‘as follows’ after the testatum, thus:

‘NOW THIS DEED WITNESSES AS FOLLOWS:’

F) CONSIDERATION

As contracts are necessarily for consideration (Sec. 10 of the Contract Act), it is advisable to

express the consideration. This is necessary in many cases of transfer for ascertaining the

stamp duty payable on the deed as Sec. 27 of the Indian Stamp Act requires that the

consideration should be fully and truly set forth in the deed. The penalty for omission to

comply with this requirements is a fine which may extend to RS. 5,000 (vide Sec. 64).

G) RECEIPT

Acknowledgment of receipt of consideration may be embodied in the deed itself instead of

passing a separate receipt. Thus:

“NOW THIS DEED WITNESSES THAT in pursuance of the aforesaid agreement and in

consideration of Rs.________paid by the purchases to the vendor before the execution hereof,

the receipt of which the vendor hereby acknowledges”.

H) OPERATIVE WORDS

Then follow the real operative words which vary according to the nature of the estate and of

the transaction.

I) PARCELS

This is a technical expression meaning description of the property transferred and it follows

the operative words. Care must be taken, on the one hand, to include in the particular

description or in general words, all the lands, etc., which are intended to pass so that no doubt

may arise as to the extent and operation of the deed; and on the other hand not insert words

which will pass more than what is intended.

Map: Sometimes it is necessary to have a map or a plan of the property in order to avoid

mistake about its identity and to indicate the actual property conveyed with greater

definiteness and precision. A map referred to in a transfer deed is treated as incorporated in

the deed, and if it is drawn to scale and demarcates the boundaries clearly it is not permissible

to attempt to correct them with reference to revenue records.

Great care should be taken in describing the property, as a slight mistake or omission may

cause immense loss to a party and if the property is described both in the body and the

schedule, a conflict between the two should be carefully avoided.

J) EXCEPTIONS AND RESERVATIONS

All exceptions and reservations out of the property transferred should follow the parcels.

An exception is something in existence at the date of transfer which, if not expressly

excepted, would pass with the property as described in the parcels, such as trees.

A reservations is something not in existence at the date of the transfer but is newly created by

the grant, e.g. when the vendor reserves a right of way over the property. But since both

‘excepting and reserving’ are used in practice it is immaterial whether what follows is an

exception or a reservation.

K) HABENDUM

This is familiar ‘to have and to hold’ (in Latin, habendum et tenendum) clause of the English

precedents. In India such phrases as ‘to have and hold’ or such expressions as ‘to the use of

the purchaser’ are not strictly necessary.

L) CONVENANTS AND UNDERTAKINGS

If the parties to a transfer enter into covenants, such covenants should be entered after the

Habendum. While drafting covenants, regard should be had to the statutorily implied

covenants which operate subject to any contract to the contrary. Where several covenants

follow each other, they may run on as one sentence, each being introduced with the words

‘and also’ or by the words ‘First’, ‘Secondly’, etc. or they may be set out in paragraph form

with the heading.

‘THE VENDOR HEREBY COVENANTS WITH THE PURCHASER AS FOLLOWS:’

It is better to put in the transferor’s and the transferee’s covenants separately, and any

covenants mutually entered into by the parties with each other may be inserted separately. If

the transferer’s and transferee’s covenants are separately mentioned in the deed, care should

be taken that no covenant which should really by the covenant of one party is entered in the

covenants of the other. For example, if a lessee is given the right to cut trees of a certain kind

and not to cut tree of a different kind, the latter covenant is a covenant by the lessee and the

former is a covenant by the lessor and both should not be inserted in one covenant by either.

When it is found inconvenient or awkward to split up, what really is one covenant into two

parts, it is better to insert such a covenant as a mutual covenant by the parties.

Sometimes the terms and conditions of a transfer cannot be conveniently separated into

transferor’s covenants and transferee’s covenants. In such cases, it would be better to include

all the covenants under one head as parties’ covenants thus:

‘THE PARTIES HEREBY MUTUALLY AGREE WITH EACH OTHER AS FOLLOWS:’

M) TESTIMONIUM

The last part of a deed is the testimonium which sets forth the fact of the parties having signed

the deed. This is not an essential part of the deed, but as it marks the close of the deed there is

no harm in continuing the established practice. The usual English form of testimonum is as

follows:

‘In witness whereof the parties hereto have hereunto set their respective hands and seals the

day and year first above written.’

The use of seals is not common in India except in cases of companies and corporations, and

the proper form in simple language would be somewhat as follows:

‘In witness whereof the parties hereto have signed this deed on the date first above written.’

N) SIGNATURES AND ATTESTATION

After testimonium should follow the signatures of the executants and those of attesting

witnesses. If executant is not competent to contract or is a juristic person, the deed must be

signed by the person competent to contract on his or its behalf.

Dated:

Sh. ………..Advocate,

……, Delhi High Court,

New Delhi-110001

SUB: REPLY TO YOUR LEGAL NOTICE U/S 138 NEGOTIABLE INSTRUMENT ACT,

DATED……….

Dear Sir,

Your legal notice dated 09.06.2015 has been placed before me by my client Sh.

………………….at Connaught Place, New Delhi -110001 and I, the undersigned, have been

instructed to reply to your said notice by my client on his behalf as under:

A. That, at the outset you are being informed that the notice under reply, you have sent

on behalf of your above said client, contains false and frivolous facts provided by your said

client against my client, thereby your notice under reply deserves to be withdrawn, with

unconditional apology by your client, because the claim made by you is without any basis and

is based upon concocted facts, as no claim is made out against my client and in favour of your

client.

B. That, in fact, my client did not place any order for supply of any machines

whatsoever, as alleged by you. But, with a view to dispose off your old stock of outdated

machines, you requested my client to place them at his shop for sale. Keeping in view old

relations my client agreed to your client’s proposal, which was subject to the condition that

payment would be made only after those machines were sold out. However, those machines

were not only outdated, but were also mechanically faulty, because of which till date they are

lying with my client, which your client is at liberty to take back with two days’ prior notice. It

is pertinent to mention here that the cheque in question was handed over by my client blank

and the same was to be used only upon instructions of my client, after he could sold out your

all those machines.

C. That, however, your client has cheated my client by misusing that cheque which is

not in the handwriting of my client. As a matter of fact, your client has committed fraud in the

matter and, consequently, is liable to be proceeded under the relevant provisions of law.

133

D. That, therefore, it is denied that the cheque in question was issued by my client to

your client in discharge of any liability. Rather, your client has misused that blank cheque

with ulterior motives, after forging the same.

REPLY ON MERITS:

1. That the contents of para 1 of your legal notice are wrong and denied and whatsoever

is stated above is reiterated. It is denied that my client purchased from you client any

machines whatsoever. Rather, my client helped your client to keep your machines in his

godown/shop for disposal. Therefore, it is denied that the cheque in question was issued in

discharge of any liability towards my client, as alleged in this para.

2. That the contents of para 2 are denied for want of knowledge. However, it is

reiterated that my client ever issued any cheque, in the manner as alleged by you.

3. That, in reply to para 3 of your legal notice, what is stated above is reiterated. It is

submitted that your client was not entitled to use that cheque for encashment and deposit the

same in his bank.

4. That the contents of para’s 4 &5 are denied for want of knowledge. However, it is

reiterated that any cheque was issued in discharge of any liability towards my client to your

client.

5. That the contents of para 6 need no comments. However, it is denied that my client

committed any offence whatsoever.

In view of aforesaid facts and circumstances, you are being advised to further advice your

client to withdraw the said notice under reply and further advise him not to drag my client in

any frivolous litigation, failing which my client shall be constrained to contest the same,

besides proceeding against your client under the relevant provisions of law, at the costs, risks

and consequences of your client only.

Yours Sincerely,

Advocate
