CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE H.P.SANDESH
ORAL JUDGMENT
This matter is listed for admission. Heard the
learned counsel for the appellants.
2. This appeal is filed against the remand order passed by the First Appellate Court. The Trial Court dismissed the suit on the ground that the original sale deed is not placed before the Trial Court and the same was challenged before the First Appellate Court. Before the First Appellate Court, the appellant/plaintiff filed the document along with an application under Order 41 Rule 27 of CPC i.e., sale deed and the defendant/appellant herein also appeared and filed the written statement relying upon one more document of sale deed dated
13.06.2008. The said document was disputed by the appellant/plaintiff before the First Appellate Court stating that no such GPA was executed in favour of anyone and nor sold the suit schedule property and the sale deed produced by the respondent is fabricated. Having taken

note of the said contention, the First Appellate Court in paragraph Nos.26 to 28 comes to the conclusion that there is a dispute with regard to the very document is concerned and the matter requires to be remanded and hence set aside the Trial Court’s order and remanded the matter to consider the same afresh by giving an opportunity to both the parties.
3. Being aggrieved by the said judgment, the present appeal is filed before this Court.
4. The learned counsel for the appellants would vehemently contend that when the plaintiff had already sold the property, the question of maintaining the suit for the relief of permanent injunction does not arise. The
learned counsel also brought to the notice of this Court the document which was placed before the First Appellate Court.
5. Having considered the said submission and also on perusal of the judgment of the First Appellate Court, the First Appellate Court in paragraph No.27 taken

HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:22463 MSA No. 86 of 2023
note of the sale deed relied upon by the plaintiff dated 04.04.2008 and the defendant/appellant herein relied upon the registered sale deed dated 13.06.2008 and the said document is executed by the GPA holder B.S.Nagaraja in favour of B.M.Jayapala and the same is disputed by the plaintiff before the First Appellate Court. When such dispute is made in respect of the very sale deed, the matter has to be considered by the Trial Court with regard to the very execution of the document. If the Trial Court comes to the conclusion that there was a sale deed through GPA holder executed by the plaintiff, then the plaintiff cannot maintain a suit for the relief of permanent injunction. If the Trial Court comes to the conclusion that the very document is fabricated, as contended by the plaintiff and not proved the sale deed, which has been placed on record before the First Appellate Court by the appellant herein, the crux of the issue involved between the parties is with regard to the very execution of the subsequent sale deed and without recording the evidence by the Trial Court, the Trial Court

cannot give any finding. Hence, I do not find any error committed by the First Appellate Court in remanding the matter in view of the dispute between the parties in respect of the alleged sale deed. Hence, no ground is made out to admit the appeal and the miscellaneous second appeal is devoid of merits.
6. In view of the discussions made above, I pass the following:
ORDER
The appeal is dismissed.
