Defendant being a legal person has endeavoured his best to create legal and factual defences as per the written statement, however surely law is that much substantive that a dishonest defendant should not be allowed to succeed on illegal grounds, and therefore, it is ordered that this application is allowed. Decree is passed in favour of the plaintiff and against the defendant. - CS(OS) No. 433/2017 - - - Dated:- 13-2-2018 - MR. VALMIKI J.MEHTA, J. For The Plaintiff : Mr. Rohit K.

(iv) Suit is not properly valued for the purposes of jurisdiction because plaintiff has deliberately over-valued the suit property to file the same in this Court. The correct valuation of the suit for the relief of possession as sought by the defendant has to be ₹ 78,75,000/-. (v) Defendant contents that since admittedly plaintiff has initiated proceedings under Section 630 of the Companies Act, 1956 against the defendant, therefore the plaintiff cannot pursue two remedies, and therefore this suit for possession is liable to be dismissed. 4. It is in these circumstances of the existent pleadings, and the documents filed, that this Court has to consider the present application under Order XII Rule 6 CPC. This Court also at this stage would like to note that the defendant is not a layman. The defendant is a law graduate and was appointed as a Law Assistant. Defendant is effectively a lawyer. If therefore this Court finds that a person who is well versed in law is using the process of law to abuse the process of law then this Court has to pass appropriate directions against the defendant at .....

Without prejudice to the above mentioned preliminary objection, it is submitted that as per the judgment of the Hon ble Supreme Court dated 25.03.2010, a direction has been given to the owner companies to surrender 68% from the entire land, to the DDA. Assuming without admitting that the plaintiff had been the owner of the property/the land underneath, the ownership rights in respect of the same, in any event, vest with the DDA. It is therefore, the DDA who, in law, has to be treated as the owner of the suit property. The plaintiff, therefore, has no right, title and interest in respect of the suit property. The suit is therefore not maintainable and is liable to be dismissed summarily on this account as well. .....

So far as the termination of licence is concerned, the same was done by the plaintiff company in terms of its letter dated 23.12.2016 which is referred to in para 5 of the plaint and there is no dispute that the defendant has in fact received this letter dated 23.12.2016. The defendant only denies the contents of this letter as factually incorrect and illegal. Therefore, the defendant s licence in the suit premises also stand terminated in terms of the letter dated 23.12.2016 issued by the plaintiff company to the defendant. 10. Now for the sake of arguments, let us assume that the defendant was a tenant in the suit property. The issue is that whether the defendant who was a tenant in the suit property, whether his tenancy would stand terminated in view of Section 111(g) of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 which categorically provides that when a tenant denies the ownership of a person from whom the tenancy is given then the tenancy of such a tenant comes to an end.
