..... nt allotment of the suit property in their favour. 3.

..... learned counsel appearing for the applicants invited the attention of this Court specifically to paragraphs 7 and 8 of the plaint and strenuously urged that the said paragraphs clearly demonstrated that the suit was hit by Section 4 of the aforesaid Act. The pleading was clear that while sale transaction was executed in the name of Lucy Dias, the consideration thereof was provided by the respondent no. 2 and that now he could not turn around and claim ownership in the property, as it was hit by the provisions of the said Act. It was further submitted that reference to the inventory proceedings in the plaint could not take away the effect of paragraphs 7 and 8 of the plaint and that therefore, the Court below had erred in rejecting the cont .....

At this stage, it would be inappropriate to jump to the conclusion that statements made in paragraphs 7 and 8 would be enough to demonstrate that the plaint itself deserved to be rejected, as being barred under the provisions of the said Act. In any case, the question as to whether the suit is hit by Section 4 of the aforesaid act would have to be decided only after sufficient material is brought on record by way of evidence to demonstrate that the ingredients of Section 4 read with Section 9A of the aforesaid Act are satisfied, in the facts and circumstances of the present case.
