Title suit cancellation of the registered Hiba-bil-ewaz deed–
The plaintiff who is a well educated man and was the chairman of the union parishad for 2 terms, admittedly executed this hiba-bil-ewaz deed. The evidence produced by the defendant has proved sufficiently that the plaintiff executed this hiba-bil-ewaz deed being fully conversant with the contents of it and on receipt of the consideration as mentioned in the hiba-bil-ewaz deed in the year 1991. So, this suit filed in the year 1999 is hopelessly barred by limitation also. The appellate court below and the High Court Division committed wrong and illegality in holding that the hiba-bil-ewaz deed in question was obtained by practicing fraud and as such the limitation for this suit will run from the date when the defendant left the house of the plaintiff leaving him in breach of condition of this hiba-bil-ewaz deed. From the above discussions, it is evident that no fraud was practiced at all in getting this hiba-bil-ewaz deed executed and registered. The trial court rightly found that there was no fraud at all in causing execution and registration of this hiba-bil-ewaz deed and that this suit is hopelessly barred by limitation. This appeal be allowed on contest without any order as to cost. The impugned judgment and decree of the High Court Division and also those of the appellate court below are set aside. The judgment and decree of the trial court dismissing the suit be upheld. …Rani Akther(Most) =VS= Mobarak Ali Mridha, (Civil), 2020 (1) [8 LM (AD) 128] ....View Full Judgment
