Addition of party as co defendant in a pending bare injunction suit

Respect Experts,

A suit was filed by a tenant against wife of the owner of leased property seeking permanent injunction to restrain her from dispossession during subsistence of lease. Plaintiff filed the suit under a misconception that wife is the original owner. Now after knowing that husband is the owner of property, plaintiff filed an application under order 1 rule 10 CPC seeking to imp lead the husband/real owner as 2nd defendant alleging that he has been often visiting the leased premises and threatening the plaintiff to dispossess him forcibly.

My queries are :-

1. Whether plaintiff is entitled to implead a party as new defendant on the basis of subsequent cause of action pending the suit? OR

2. Should the plaintiff file a separate suit against the husband?

Pls answer my queries.

Promissory note suit

Respected Experts,

Promissory note was executed undertaking to pay the amount with interest at 18% on demand. But, on its backside, promisor wrote that amount with interest would be paid after 18 months in his own handwriting and put his signature beneath it. Promissory note was affixed with Rs.1/- revenue stamp.

Basing on the said pronote I filed the suit.

Material averments in the plaint in brief are :-

"On dt.xxxx, defendant borrowed an amount of Rs.xxxx/- from the plaintiff and executed the suit promissory note in favour of the plaintiff in his own handwriting promising to repay the same with interest at 18% p.a. either to the plaintiff or to his order, on demand. He also endorsed on the backside of the said promissory note in his own handwriting that he would repay the amount after 18 months."

Now, defendant filed his written statement denying the signature and handwriting on the promissory note as well as of the endorsement on the backside of the promissory note is not that of him and that it was fabricated under certain circumstances by the plaintiff.

That material aspect in the written statement is "The suit promissory note is not a demand promissory note and it is a promissory note payable otherwise than on demand by virtue of endorsement on backside of promissory note. As such, according to Article 49 (2) of Schedule I of Indian Stamp Act, stamp duty is insufficient and hence it is not admissible in evidence as per Section 35 of stamp Act and hence, the suit is liable to be dismissed on this sole ground.

Now my doubts are :-

1. What is the effect of words written on the backside of the promissory note particularly with respect to deciding stamp duty?

2.Whether the words written on the backside of promissory note are part and parcel of the suit promissory note or can it be termed as different transaction?

3. Is there any way to get the suit promissory note marked without any objection?

I am very anxious of knowing the answers as you all knew well that suit will be dismissed if promissory note is not marked.

Pls clarify my doubts. Thanks in advance.

Consolidation of suits

Respected Experts,

Lessee filed a suit for injunction against the wife of lessor stating that wife herself has leased out the property to him(false plea). In fact, husband is the owner cum lessor and he was not made as a party to injunction suit.

Later, husband(lessor) filed a suit against the lessee for eviction and for recovery of arrears of rent, after issuing termination notice under section 106 of T.P.Act. wife is not a party to eviction suit.

Admittedly lease is oral.

Both the suits are in separate courts of junior civil judge at the same place.

can Injunction suit be sought for to be transferred to the court where Eviction suit lies or vice versa?

(pls take note that defendant (wife) in injunction suit is not a party to the eviction suit, which was filed by husband)

else what is the remedy?

Pls reply.

Illegal encroachment of vacant site

Respected Experts,

A suit was filed for prohibitory permanent injunction seeking to restrain the defendant from interfering with the plaintiff's possession and enjoyment of suit property.

As temporary injunction was not granted, pending suit, defendant encroached portion of suit property and made some constructions over it.

It was more than 3 years that the encroachment was made. But plaintiff's counsel did not choose either to amend the plaint for mandatory injunction or to withdraw the said suit and file a fresh suit for mandatory injunction.

As you know well that limitation for suit for mandatory injunction.is 3 years, which was expired already in this case.

My queries are:-

1. Whether plaintiff can withdraw his suit and file a fresh suit for recovery of possession to avoid the bar of limitation?

2. Can he seek any other relief?

Pls give your valuable suggestions.

Probative value of entries in bank pass book

Respected Experts,

In a suit for specific performance of agreement of sale, I am appearing for defendant. Plaintiff is trying to prove his case by filing Bank Pass Book containing entry of withdrawal of amount, which was alleged to have been advanced to defendant as advance sale consideration on the date of alleged sale agreement.

Every account holder of a bank possesses a pass book in his custody. There is every possibility to manipulate the entries easily.

My queries are :-

1. Are the entries in Bank Pass Book come under the head of primary evidence?

2. Are they admissible in evidence without examining the person who made those entries in pass book?

3. Can I object to its marking?

Please give your valuable replies.

Thanks in advance.
