ORAL ORDER (Dated this 14th day of March, 2022) This notice of motion is taken out by plaintiffs praying for monthly compensation of Rs.10,000/ from defendants and to restrain defendants from alienating property bearing survey No.2158 Cadastral Survey No.1/583, situated at Dadar, Naigaum Division in Wadala, Private Market, Katrak Road, Wadala (W), Mumbai 400 031 (Hereinafter referred as 'Suit Property'). -- 2 of 17 -- Order in N/M No.4918 of 2019 3 Briefly stated, plaintiffs' case, is as under : 2. One Qasim Shaikh was monthly tenant of Ali Haji Hussain and others. Plaintiffs are the legal heirs of said Qasim Shaikh. After redevelopment of the suit property, Shop No.90 admeasuring 10 x 10 sq.ft. carpet area was alloted to said Qasim Shaikh (Hereinafter referred as ‘Suit Shop’). In the year 2006, defendant No.1 approached Qasim Shaikh and requested him to hand over suit shop for putting columns of the proposed residential tower abutting to the suit shop. Accordingly, defendant No.1 executed an agreement dated 18.12.2006 in favour of Qasim Shaikh. Defendant No.1 promised to reconstruct the shop within six months. Defendant No.1 agreed to pay an amount of Rs.5,000/ as monthly compensation. However, deft no.1 could not complete the work within 6 months. 3. Defendant No.1 paid monthly compensation as agreed to Qasim Shaikh and same was enhanced by 10% every year. Later on, defendant No. 4 to 6 joined the project. Defendant No.4 started paying monthly compensation of Rs.8,000/ to said Qasim Shaikh. However, since September 2017, defendant No. 4 stopped making payment of monthly compensation to Qasim Shaikh on the pretext that defendants would hand over the possession of the suit shop within a short span of time. Qasim Shaikh passed away on 06.02.2018. Defendants have completed construction work of building. Plaintiffs issued notice dated 16.07.2018 asking defendants to hand over possession of the suit shop as per the agreement dated 18.12.2006. However, defendants failed to hand over the possession of the suit shop. Plaintiffs have primafacie case. Balance of convenience also lies with plaintiffs. Plaintiffs would suffer irreparable loss, if reliefs as prayed for, are not granted. By making all these submissions, plaintiffs prayed to direct defendants to -- 3 of 17 -- Order in N/M No.4918 of 2019 4 pay monthly compensation of Rs.10,000/. Plaintiffs also prayed for an order of injunction restraining the defendants from creating third party interest in the suit property. 4. Defendant Nos.1 to 3 failed to file reply to the notice of motion. However, they have filed written statement and surrejoinder to plaintiffs rejoinder. It is submitted on behalf of defendant Nos.1 to 3 that suit is not filed within limitation. Suit is not properly valued. Defendant no.2 does not recollect signing of agreement in favour of Qasim Shaikh. Alleged agreement is forged. Defendant Nos.1 to 3 have specifically denied tenancy rights of Qasim Shaikh. It is submitted that in the year 2006, Qasim Shaikh approached defendant No.1 claiming tenancy rights. Qasim Shaikh made said false claim in order to stall entire redevelopment of the suit property. Defendant No.2 agreed to pay Qasim Shaikh certain amount in monthly installments. There was no agreement to provide alternate accommodation. 5. Defendant No.1 conveyed all rights in the suit property to defendant No.4. Now, defendant No.4 is in possession of suit property. At the time of assignment, defendant No.4 was informed about the requirement of making monthly installments to Qasim Shaikh. Defendant Nos.1 to 3 were not aware that Qasim Shaikh was a monthly tenant of Ali Haji Hussain and he was provided with alternate shop ad measuring 100 square feet. Original owner M.C.G.M. assigned development rights of the suit property to defendant No.1 in or about April 2005. Defendant No.1 conveyed entire rights in respect of suit property to defendant No.4 in the year 2009. By making all these submissions, defendant Nos.1 to 3 prayed to reject the Notice of Motion. -- 4 of 17 -- Order in N/M No.4918 of 2019 5 6. Defendant Nos.4 and 5, by filing their reply, strongly resisted the Notice of Motion. It is submitted that defendant No. 1 transferred all the rights in the suit property to defendant No.4 by the deed of assignment. They did not have knowledge about the agreement dated 18.12.2006. They came to know about the said agreement after filing of the suit. Defendant Nos.4 to 5 submit that agreement dated 18.12.2006 is not registered. Defendant No.1 informed them that one Qasim Shaikh has falsely asserted tenancy rights in respect of a unit in suit property with malafide intention to stall the entire redevelopment of suit property. Defendant No.4, without admitting tenancy rights of Qasim Shaikh, arrived at an oral agreement to pay certain amount in monthly installments. Said amount was paid to Qasim Shaikh for not making any claim in the suit property. 7. Defendant Nos.4 and 5 further submit that plaintiffs have not filed documents to show that Qasim Shaikh was monthly tenant of Ali Haji Hussain. Suit is not filed within limitation. In spite of repeated letters, advocate for plaintiffs failed to show inspection of original agreement dated 18.12.2006. Said agreement is forged. Defendant Nos.1 to 3 informed defendant No.4 about oral agreement with Qasim Shaikh. After assignment of all the rights and liabilities in the suit property, defendant No.4 continued making such payment to Qasim Shaikh without verifying any document and without admitting any right or claim of Qasim Shaikh. They are not liable to pay any amount to Qasim Shaikh or legal heirs of Qasim Shaikh. Payment made by defendant No.4 does not confer any right upon Qasim Shaikh or upon plaintiffs. By making all these submissions, defendant Nos.4 and 5 prayed to reject the notice of motion. -- 5 of 17 -- Order in N/M No.4918 of 2019 6 8. Heard both sides. Following points arise for determination, findings thereon for the reasons to follow, are as under : Sr. No. POINTS FINDINGS 1. Do plaintiffs establish prima facie case ? Yes 2. Whether balance of convenience lies with plaintiffs ? Yes 3. Whether plaintiffs would suffer irreparable loss if interim relief is refused ? Yes 4. What order ? Notice of Motion is partly allowed as per final order. REASONS POINT NOS.1 TO 3: 9. In support of notice of motion, Learned Counsel for plaintiffs made following submissions : a) Qasim Shaikh was monthly tenant of Ali Haji Hussain and others in respect of Gala No.29 situated in suit property. Said property was redeveloped and shop No.90 was given to Qasim Shaikh. Plaintiffs are legal heirs of Qasim Shaikh. b) Plaintiffs have filed on record rent receipts to show that Qasim Shiakh was monthly tenant of Gala No.29. Plaintiffs have filed on record electricity bills and inspection reports carried out by the Mumbai Municipal Corporation. These documents show that Qasim Shaikh was doing business in Gala no.29. c) Defendant Nos.1 to 3 approached plaintiffs in the year 2006. Defendant No.2 requested Qasim Shaikh to hand over shop No.90 for the purpose of putting column of the proposed residential tower abutting to the suit shop. Accordingly, parties -- 6 of 17 -- Order in N/M No.4918 of 2019 7 executed an agreement dated 18.12.2006. d) As per agreement dated 18.12.2006, defendant No. 1 paid monthly compensation amount by cheques to Qasim Shaikh. Later on, defendant Nos.1 to 3 assigned their rights in suit property to defendant Nos.4 to 6. Defendant No.4 to 6 also paid monthly compensation to the Qasim Shaikh. Defendant No.4 started paying monthly compensation of Rs.8,000/ to Qasim Shaikh. Plaintiffs have filed on record bank account statement of Qasim Shaikh to show that defendants paid monthly compensation to Qasim Shaikh from the year 2006 to 2017. e) Defendant No.4 stopped making payment of monthly compensation to Qasim Shaikh on the pretext that defendants would hand over the possession of the suit shop shortly. Qasim Shaikh passed away on 06.02.2018. Construction of suit shop is completed. But, defendants are not giving possession of the suit shop to plaintiffs as per agreement dated 18.12.2006. f) Defendant Nos.4 to 6 claims that defendant Nos. 1 to 3 have assigned rights in suit property to them. However, they have not placed on record assignment deed. g) Defendants claimed that they have paid certain amount to Qasim Shaikh in pursuance to oral agreement. However, their pleadings regarding oral agreement with Qasim Shaikh are vague. They have not pleaded particulars of oral agreement with Qasim Shaikh. h) Plaintiffs have primafacie case. Balance of convenience also lies in favour of plaintiffs. Plaintiffs would suffer irreparable loss, if defendants alienate the suit property. By making these submissions, learned counsel for plaintiffs prayed -- 7 of 17 -- Order in N/M No.4918 of 2019 8 to direct defendants to pay monthly compensation of Rs.10,000/ to plaintiffs. He also prayed to issue order of injunction restraining defendants from creating third party interest in the suit property. 10. Learned Counsel appearing for defendant Nos.1 to 3 contravened above arguments with following submissions : a) Defendants have sought inspection of documents from plaintiffs after filing of the suit. But, plaintiffs avoided giving of inspection of documents. Plaintiffs have not given inspection of original agreement dated 18.12.2006. Defendants are coming with the specific case that said agreement is forged. Non production of original agreement dated 18.12.2006 cements defendants’ contention that said agreement is forged one. b) Plaintiffs claim that they have filed report to police station regarding loss of document. However, said report appears to have been filed by plaintiffs after getting copies of written statement filed by defendants. Therefore, plaintiff’s contention regarding loss of original agreement dated 18.12.2006 cannot be accepted. c) If document dated 18.12.2006 is considered as a “Leave and License” agreement, it requires registration as per section 55 of The Maharashtra Rent Control Act. Document dated 18.12.2006 is not registered and therefore, it cannot be used as per Section 49 of The Indian Registration Act . d) As per Article 5 (ga) of The Bombay Stamp Act, development agreement requires stamp duty as that of conveyance. If agreement dated 18.12.2006 is considered as a -- 8 of 17 -- Order in N/M No.4918 of 2019 9 development agreement, stamp duty in accordance with The Bombay Stamp Act is not paid. Therefore, said document cannot be admitted in evidence as per Section 34 of the Bombay Stamp Act. e) Plaintiffs relied upon inspection reports of Municipal Corporation. From these inspection reports, no inference regarding tenancy rights of Qasim Shaikh can be drawn. f) The tenancy receipts issued for different periods bear the numbers serially. Therefore, tenancy receipts filed on record cannot be relied upon. 11. Learned Counsel for defendant Nos.4 and 5 made following submissions : a) Plaintiffs are seeking specific performance of agreement dated 18.12.2006. As per the terms of the agreement dated 18.12.2006, defendant No.1 was required to hand over the possession of the suit shop to Qasim Shaikh within six months from the date of agreement. Thus, as per said agreement, defendant No.1 was required to complete construction work of suit shop on or before 17.06.2007. b) As per Ipart of Article 54 of the Indian Limitation Act, 3 years period would begin to run from the date fixed for the performance. Here, the date fixed for performance was 17.06.2007. Therefore, period of limitation of 3 years would begin to run from 17.06.2007. Suit is not filed within limitation as provided in 1st limb of Article 54. c) Plaintiffs are seeking specific performance of agreement against the defendant Nos.4 and 5. There is no privity of contract between plaintiffs and defendant Nos.4 and 5. Therefore, -- 9 of 17 -- Order in N/M No.4918 of 2019 10 plaintiffs cannot seek enforcement of specific performance of contract as against defendant Nos.4 and 5. d) Defendants are coming with the specific case that agreement dated 18.12.2006 is forged. Plaintiffs failed to give inspection of original document to defendants. Plaintiffs failed to refer agreement dated 18.12.2006 in their notice dated 16.07.2018. Thus, plaintiffs have improved their case on the basis of forged agreement. e) Defendants have specifically denied the execution of agreement dated 18.12.2006. Burden is upon plaintiffs to prove execution of agreement dated 18.12.2006 and for that purpose, trial is necessary. Therefore, at this stage, plaintiffs are not entitled for the reliefs claimed in the notice of motion. By making all these submissions, Learned Counsel for defendant Nos.4 and 5 prayed to reject the notice of motion. 12. Considered the submissions advanced on behalf of the both sides. Plaintiffs are claiming that they are legal representatives of Qasim Shaikh. Plaintiffs have filed on record tenancy receipts to show that said Qasim Shaikh was tenant of Ali Haji Hussain and others. Plaintiffs have also filed on record Shop and Establishment License, inspection reports of Mumbai Municipal Corporation to buttress their contention that Qasim Shaikh was monthly tenant of Ali Haji Hussain and others. Primafacie , material on record shows that said Qasim Shaikh was monthly tenant of Ali Haji Hussain and others. 13. Plaintiffs claim that defendant Nos.1 to 3 have executed an agreement dated 18.12.2006 in favour of Qasim Shaikh and in pursuance of said agreement, defendant Nos.1 to 3 have taken the -- 10 of 17 -- Order in N/M No.4918 of 2019 11 possession of the suit shop. Defendants have denied execution of said agreement. 14. Plaintiffs failed to produce agreement dated 18.12.2006 for inspection on demand by defendants. Plaintiffs contended that said document is lost. Defendants submitted that nature of the document is of a ‘Leave and License Agreement’ and therefore, it is required to be registered as per Section 55 of The Maharashtra Rent Control Act. Defendant Nos.1 to 3 alleged to have executed said agreement in favour of Qasim Shaikh on 18.12.2006. By virtue of said agreement, defendant Nos.1 to 3 have taken possession of the shop No.90 for limited purpose of putting the column. Therefore, said agreement cannot be construed as an agreement of “Leave and License”. 15. Defendants submitted that agreement dated 18.12.2006 is required to be registered as per section 17 of the Registration Act and therefore, it cannot be used to claim right in the immovable property as per Section 49 of The Registration Act. Section 49 of the Registration Act also provides an exception. Proviso to Section 49 of the Registration Act makes the provision that an unregistered document affecting immovable property and required by this Act or the Transfer of Property Act to be registered, may be received as evidence of a contract in a suit for specific performance under Chapter II of the Specific Relief Act or as evidence of any collateral transaction not required to be effected by the registered instrument. Thus, as per proviso to Section 49 of the Indian Registration Act, an unregistered agreement may be received as evidence of a contract in a suit for specific performance. Plaintiffs are seeking specific performance of contract dated 18.12.2006 and unregistered contract may be taken into consideration as evidence -- 11 of 17 -- Order in N/M No.4918 of 2019 12 of a contract. 16. Defendants contended that agreement dated 18.12.2006 is not sufficiently stamped. Section 34 of The Bombay Stamp Act provides that no instrument chargeable with duties shall be admitted in the evidence unless such instrument is duly stamped. However, the objection regarding non payment of stamp duty need not be considered while deciding interim application. Said objection can be taken into consideration at the time of admitting the document in evidence. 17. Defendant Nos.4 and 5 vehemently contended that suit is not filed within limitation as per the first limb of Article 54 of the Indian Limitation Act. Defendant Nos.4 and 5 relied upon following judicial pronouncements : a) K. Krishnan Nair & 3 Others V/s. V. K. Parameshwaran Pillai and 23 others in Appeal No. 348 of 1982 and Transfer Appeal No. 765 of 1985 of Hon'ble Madras High Court. In this case, Hon’ble Madras High Court held, “As we have held that the parties fixed the time for purchase at one month from the date of the final order in M.C. No.7 of 1964, the limitation begins on the expiry of one month from 30.07.1964. Art.54 of the Limitation Act, 1963 prescribed a period of three years for a suit for specific performance of a contract from the date fixed for the performance or if no such date is fixed, when the plaintiff has noticed that performance is refused. In the present case, the date is fixed by the parties. Though actual date is not fixed, the parties have clearly mentioned the time within which the contract should be -- 12 of 17 -- Order in N/M No.4918 of 2019 13 performed. It has been held in Muniswami Goundar v. Shamana Gouda (1956 II MLJ 163) that the words, “date fixed” are comprehensive to include a date which can be ascertained with reference to an event certain to happen. In the present case, certain event is fixed and that is the final order in M.C. No.7 of 1964 and that happened on 30.7.64. Hence, the suit should have been filed within three years from 30.8.1964. The suit having been filed only on 18.7.1979 is clearly barred by limitation.” b) Madina Begum and Another V/s. Shiv Murti Prasad Pandey and Others, (2016) 15 SCC 322. In this case, Hon’ble Supreme Court pleased to hold that the expression “date fixed for the performance” is a crystallized notion. When a date is fixed, it means there is a definite date fixed for doing a particular act. The expression “date” is definitely suggestive of a specified date in the calender. 18. As argued by ld. counsel for defendant Nos.4 and 5, Article 54 of the Limitation Act has two parts. According to the first part, the period of three years is required to be calculated from the date fixed for the performance. Defendants contended that six months period was specified in the agreement and said period elapsed on 17.06.2017. 19. Plaintiffs are coming with the specific case that defendants paid monthly compensation as per agreement dated 18.12.2006 to Qasim Shaikh till September 2017. Defendants have disputed execution of agreement. But, they have not disputed the payment of certain monthly amount to Qasim Shaikh. Qasim Shaikh received monthly compensation from the defendants till September 2017. Thus, from the material placed before the Court, primafacie, it can be -- 13 of 17 -- Order in N/M No.4918 of 2019 14 inferred that time for performance of agreement was extended by the parties till September 2017. Defendants made payment from time to time in pursuance to the agreement dated 18.12.2006. Therefore, it can be primafacie construed that time was not the essence of the contract dated 18.12.2006 and therefore, plaintiffs case would not be covered under first part of Article 54 and it would be covered under second part of Article 54 in which the period of limitation would begin to run from date when plaintiffs had noticed that performance is refused. Thus, at this stage, it cannot be held that suit is not filed within limitation. 20. Plaintiffs are coming with the specific case that defendant Nos. 1 to 3 initially paid monthly compensation amount to Qasim Shaikh in pursuance to agreement dated 18.12.2006 and after assigning rights in the suit properties, defendant Nos.4 to 6 made payment of monthly compensation to Qasim Shaikh. Defendants have not denied payment of monthly amount to Qasim Shaikh. They have not denied that they are in possession of suit property which includes the suit shop. It is their contention that, without admitting tenancy rights of Qasim Shaikh, they have agreed to pay certain amount in monthly installments to Qasim Shaikh for not making any claim against the suit property. However, the avernments made by the defendant Nos.1 to 5 regarding oral agreement with Qasim Shaikh are vague. They have not stated as to for which period, they agreed to pay monthly installments to Qasim Shaikh. Defendant Nos. 1 to 5 are the builders and developers of the suit property. No builder and developer would pay certain monthly amount to any stranger for such a long period i.e. from 2006 to 2017 without ascertaining rights of such stranger to the property. -- 14 of 17 -- Order in N/M No.4918 of 2019 15 21. Plaintiffs are claiming monthly amount of Rs.10,000/ as a compensation. Record shows that defendants paid an amount of Rs.8,000/ per month to the Qasim Shaikh till the year 2017. Although, defendants denied execution of agreement dated 18.12.2006, but, they have not denied payment made to Qasim Shaikh. Therefore, considering all these aspects, to the extent of getting monthly compensation amount of Rs. 8,000/, plaintiffs have primafacie case. Plaintiffs have raised a fair question that defendants by executing an agreement dated 18.12.2006 agreed to hand over suit shop and in the meantime, they agreed to pay monthly compensation. Plaintiffs have raised a fair question which requires trial. Thus, plaintiffs have established primafacie case to the extent of getting monthly compensation of Rs.8,000/ from defendants. 22. Plaintiffs have placed on record material to show that defendants paid monthly compensation of Rs.8,000/ to Qasim Shaikh till the year 2017. Defendant Nos.1 to 3 have denied rights of the Qasim Shaikh. However, neither defendant Nos.1 to 3 nor defendant Nos.4 and 5 filed assignment deeds executed in their favour to show that they would suffer inconvenience if any interim order to pay monthly compensation amount in favour of plaintiffs is passed. Thus, balance of convenience would also lie in favour of plaintiffs. Monthly compensation was given to Qasim Shaikh for securing alternate shop. Plaintiffs are legal representatives of Qasim Shaikh. Their livelihood would be dependent upon the business from the alternate shop. Therefore, plaintiffs would suffer irreparable loss if they are deprived from getting monthly compensation. Point Nos.1 to 3 are answered -- 15 of 17 -- Order in N/M No.4918 of 2019 16 accordingly. 23. Plaintiffs also claimed interim injunction restraining defendants from creating third party interest in respect of entire suit property. Plaintiffs have primafacie rights in suit shop. They have not claimed any interim relief for suit shop. But, they have claimed interim relief in respect of entire property given to the defendants for redevelopment. Naturally rights of the other parties would have been involved in the suit property. Therefore, plaintiffs are not entitled to claim injunction as prayed for. 24. Plaintiffs claimed monthly compensation of Rs.10,000/. Record shows that defendants paid monthly compensation of Rs.8,000/ to Qasim Shaikh. It is not in dispute that defendant Nos. 1 to 3 have assigned their rights in the suit property to defendant Nos.4 to 6. It is also not in dispute that after assigning rights in the suit property, defendant No.4 paid monthly compensation of Rs.8,000/ to Qasim Shaikh. Defendant Nos.5 and 6 are directors of defendant No.4. Therefore, plaintiffs are entitled for monthly compensation of Rs.8,000/ from defendant Nos.4 to 6. In the result following order. ORDER 1. Defendant Nos.4 to 6 shall pay monthly compensation of Rs.8,000/ to plaintiffs from the date of filing of suit till further orders. 2. Prayer for interim injunction made in prayer clause (b) of Notice of Motion No.4918 of 2019 is rejected. 3. No order as to costs. -- 16 of 17 -- Order in N/M No.4918 of 2019 17 4. Notice of Notion No.4918 of 2019 is disposed of accordingly. ( S.U.HAKE ) 14/03/2022 JUDGE, CITY CIVIL COURT, GR.MUMBAI. Direct Typed & Half Dictation on : 14/03/2022. Transcribed on : 21/03/2022.
