Do i have any locus standi in this case ?

Suppose I am Umang Arora in this Case and wanna file an appeal against this appeal,should I file appeal in some other Court or should I file an application in this Court, whether I have some Locus Standi or not as now even the Defendant No. 15 is not with me.But mine objections are that defendant No. 15 gotten the benefit on our behalf, if the deal was not going to be given to us then why we were called even to place our bid as higher buyer.

09.11.2011



At the request of the parties, by order dated 03.02.2010 the matter
was referred to Delhi High Court Mediation and Conciliation Centre. The
interim report of the learned Mediator was received and it was recorded
in the order dated 26.10.2010 that the parties had amicably resolved all
the disputes. Some more time was sought by the parties from the Court to
work out the modalities of the partition of the suit property.

In the order dated 02.02.2011, it was also recorded that the parties
had resolved their disputes regarding their shares. The proposed
purchaser Sanjay Malhotra of the suit property was present before Court
along with his counsel Mr G.P. Thareja on 11.05.2011. The directions
were also issued to the parties to the effect that the suit property can
also be mutated and converted from leasehold to freehold and the parties
may jointly sell the property to Sanjay Malhotra. The matter was
adjourned to 19.08.2011. On 19.08.2011, it was recorded that out of all
parties, fourteen parties had signed the agreement to sell barring
defendants 9 and 15. It appears that later on both the defendant No.9
had signed the agreement to sell.

The defendant No.15 sought one month?s time to look for another
buyer who was willing to give a higher price of the suit property, he
also made a statement before the Court that in case he was unable to
bring a purchaser for a higher price, he will sign the necessary
papers/documents.

On 10.10.2011, further time was sought by the defendant No.15 in
this regard and the same was adjourned for today. When the matter is
taken up today, the defendant No.15 has brought a buyer, namely, Umang
Arora, who is prepared to buy the suit property bearing No.E-28, Moti
Nagar, New Delhi, on a higher price as quoted by the other parties. The
defendant No.15 has also deposited the cost of Rs. 2500/- with the Delhi
High Court Mediation and Conciliation Centre.


The proposed buyer Mr Umang Arora makes a statement before the Court that he is prepared to purchase the suit property on the higher price.
However, he is not prepared to deposit the entire amount and he will only
deposit 10% of the total sale consideration as advance amount. The
remaining amount will be paid by him at the time of executing the sale
deed. On the other hand, the other fifteen co-sharers of the suit
property are agreeable that the earlier buyer Mr Sanjay Malhotra may
purchase the property as they have already received advance amount for
the same so as the defendant No.15 and they have already executed the
agreement to sell dated 30.07.2011. Mr Thareja, the learned counsel for
the earlier buyer Mr Sanjay Malhotra, is agreeable that the share of the
defendant No.15 shall be paid as per the higher price, as quoted by the
new buyer Mr Umang Arora, by way of cheque/bank draft on the next date of
hearing. The other parties are also agreeable with the suggestion
given by Mr G.P. Thareja. Under these circumstances, a request was made
by all the parties to defendant No.15 to sign the agreement to sell. The
learned counsel appearing on his behalf seeks some time to discuss the
issue with him.

List on 16.11.2011.

 From the above interim order, it is clear that defendent 15 has benefitted by bringing a counsel. Unless there is any written contractual agreement between defendent 15 and the counsel where in some money consideration was given to defendent by the counsel, it becomes very difficult to file a suit for specific performance under specific relief act as the order states that defendent 15 has taken money consideration from the earlier buyer

Radhey (Owner)     26 November 2011

Vish, defendant no. 15 was benefited not because he brought a Counsel but  he was benefited because he broughta higher buyer in the Court. And he took no money from the Earlier Buyer, if he had taken any money from the earlier buyer then how could he be allowed to bring a higher buyer,  in first chance he failed, but in second chance he succeeded. he was given two chances to bring a higher buyer.


And there was a written agreement between umang Arora and  defendant No. 15 that defendant no. 15 would present only Umang Arora as a buyer in the Court and he would not present any other person in the court for this purpose. Yet he accepted the offer of the earlier buyer in the Court.

 

Can not we file an application before the same court as we have been defrauded in the court proceeding by defendant no. 15 who used us and later on turned hostile ? (This idea was given to me here at LCI by a very renowned advocate and priviledged memeber of LCI)

Dear Radhey,

"On the other hand, the other fifteen co-sharers of the suit
property are agreeable that the earlier buyer Mr Sanjay Malhotra may
purchase the property as they have already received advance amount for
the same so as the defendant No.15 and they have already executed the
agreement to sell dated 30.07.2011."

The above mentioned para , clearly  states that a consideration has been received by defendent 15. Pl correct me if I am wrong.

Going by our earlier post ,you are eligible to go for an appeal in the same court as you have been defrauded by defendent 15.

Radhey (Owner)     26 November 2011

Vish Ji, that is a grave mistake done by the judge.There  was/is no such agreement on Court Record till date and if dfefendant No. 15 had taken the money why he had been given a chance to bring a new buyer? 

Advocate Vishnu (Advocate)     26 November 2011

Dear Radhey,

Pl go for revision within 30 days from the date of this interim order.

Radhey (Owner)     26 November 2011

my dear Vish, where this revision to be filed in the same High Court or some where else, I have been told that first appeal should be filed in the same court then if declined then second appeal in the next Double Bench,what is your suggestion ?

Advocate Vishnu (Advocate)     26 November 2011

Dear Radhey,

Your query reads order- and I presume it is an interim order. Even otherwise, there is nothing to worry. You can seek revision in case of interim orders and in case of judgement you are entitled to first appeal.since it is the HC first appeal lies in the same court. Your legal counsel has given you the right guidance.

Vish my dear, U are a student, student of what, perhaps law, but I feel that u have a lot to teach us.Thanks a lot and Good wishes to U for ur life from the core of my heart.
