Wherein, Sl.No.4 is in respect of S.No.256/7B, electricity connection was given in No.1514. The sale agreement dated 25.07.1997 was executed by Gurusamy and Perumal in favour of the plaintiff is Ex.A3. 8. On perusal of Ex.A3, it appears that on 25.07.1997, the plaintiff saraswathi has entered into a sale agreement with Gurusamy and Perumal, sons of Muthu Gounder for purchase of 14 items of landed properties and the 2nd item is the above said property. She has purchased the said properties under sale deed dated 04.04.2007. Ex.B3 is the 5/7 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis S.A.No.1166 of 2013 application of the plaintiff dated 29.01.2004. Ex.B11 dated 29.12.2004 is the communication addressed by Tahsildar of Sangagiri to the Assistant Executive Engineer to the effect that as on the date of her application, the plaintiff did not have any right in S.No.156/7B. Therefore, the trial Court as well as the First Appellate Court have rightly concluded that the plaintiff approached the Court with malafides. 9. As the plaintiff did not have any right or title over the property in S.No.257 as on 29.12.2004, she is not entitled to seek for order of permanent injunction as prayed for. This Court does not find any infirmity or perversity of the order of the Courts below. Hence, the Substantial Questions of Law are answered against the appellant/plaintiff. 10. Based on the above observations and discussions, this Second Appeal stands dismissed and sequel to this, the judgment and decree dated 25.06.2013 made in A.S.No.5 of 2013, dated 25.02.2011 on the file of Sub-Court, Tiruchengode is confirmed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition stands closed. 12.03.2025 Index : Yes/No Speaking / Non-speaking order 6/7 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis S.A.No.1166 of 2013 ssn R.KALAIMATHI, J., ssn To: 1.
