..... petitioner/plaintiff was supposed to hand over link documents which were shown at the time of negotiation. But at the time of preparation of document, the petitioner/plaintiff expressed that said document was misplaced. Hence, Clause XIV(L) was added. Clause XIV(L) is dealing with delivery of possession. Learned counsel for petitioner argued that possession of property is not delivered. But learned counsel for respondents argued that Clause XIV(L) is relating to delivery of document but not possession of property. when total document is read, particularly, in the light of Clause II (2) (1) delivery of possession of property can be primafacie believed. Learned counsel for the petitioner/plaintiff argued that for the figure of ₹ 5,00,000/- (five erores) figure ₹ 50,00,000!- (fifty lakhs) is mentioned and to prove payment of amount, burden lies on the respondent/defendants, therefore, at this prima facie stage, it can be safely taken total sale consideration is not paid and respondents/defendants are not entitled to sell the property or interfere with the possession of the petitioner/plaintiff. 12) Agreement of sale-cum-irrevocable power of attorney document executed .....
