Once the plaintiffs fail to establish the death of Maya Devi, consequently, their claim of ownership on the disputed house through inheritance also goes. As a result, the question of inheritance of Maya Devi does not arise. The plaintiffs, therefore, fail to establish their ownership on the disputed house by way of inheritance. Learned Appellate Court rightly observed this and also rightly concluded that plaintiffs could not prove their
claim of fraud, allegedly committed by defendant No.1 and defendant No.2, in obtaining the judgment and decree dated 28.01.1994 (Ex.PW-4/C) by impersonation. The defendant No.1 Maya Devi appeared as DW-1, testified her version as contained in the written statement. Although, the defendant No.1 admitted in civil suit No.221 of 1993 (Ex.PW4/A), that defendant No.2, was her only child. However, this admission does not affect the decree because defendant No.1, being the absolute owner, had the right to transfer the ownership of the house in dispute in favour of defendant No.2, to the exclusion of other children. The defendant No.1, while appearing as DW-1 did not dispute the judgment and decree (Ex.PW4/A) and passing of the title of the house in dispute to defendant No.2, under the decree. In view of the above, the learned Courts below have rightly declined the relief of declaration to the plaintiffs.
26.
The learned Appellate Court has also rightly overturned the findings of learned trial Court regarding injunction relating to possession, by correctly observing the settled proposition of law that no injunction is maintainable against the true owner.
