The case of the Informant, in brief, is that, he was willing to

purchase and the Applicant was willing to sell his property situated at Shirdi for total consideration of Rs.1,11,00,000/- (Rs. One Crore Eleven Lakh). An Agreement was entered into between both the parties. The Applicant did not inform about the encumbrance on the said property of the concerned Bank to the Informant.
