Defendant-appellant has preferred this appeal against the judgment dated 28th November, 2007 passed by the learned Additional District Judge (Fast Track) No. 2, Jaipur District, Jaipur in Civil Original Suit No. 105/2005 (120/2005) whereby, the learned trial Judge has partly decreed the suit filed by the plaintiff-respondent for specific performance of the agreement and injunction. However, the prayer seeking injunction against the appellant-defendant for not dispossessing the plaintiff was rejected.

Briefly, the relevant facts giving rise to this appeal are that the plaintiff filed a suit on 10th May, 2005 seeking specific performance of the contract and permanent injunction stating that the defendant executed an agreement to sale on 15th September, 1996 in favour of the plaintiff to sell agricultural land of Khasra No. 131 comprising of 4 bighas situated in village Bhanpur Khurd. The total sale amount of Rs. 75,000/- was paid by the plaintiff to defendant and the possession of the agricultural land was also handed over by defendant to him. As the said land was already mortgaged in favour of Bank, the defendant assured to get the sale-deed registered as soon as it is redeemed from the mortgage. It has been further stated that the plaintiff has always been ready and willing to perform his part of the agreement. The said land was redeemed from mortgage on 31st March, 2005 but the defendant did not execute the sale-deed in favour of plaintiff. Registered notice was sent by the plaintiff through his Advocate on 5th May, 2005 which was received by the defendant but he did not execute the sale-deed. Hence, the suit was filed.

Defendant stated that the plaintiff got one stamp paper signed from him and his sons on the pretext of getting loan sanctioned on his agricultural land and forged the said agreement upon that stamp paper.
