Leela Etc vs Sivan Sivadasan Advocate - BIJU.A.A — 300105/2024

JudgementView PDF

Case Summary: OS 105/2024 Court Decision: The suit was dismissed. The court found the plaintiffs failed to prove due execution of the loan agreements and rejected their claim for Rs. 2,20,000 against the defendants. Key Reasoning: The court identified critical evidentiary failures: witnesses could not establish the defendant's signatures on the agreements; the second agreement was ante-dated on stamp paper purchased after its purported execution date; medical records showed the defendant was bedridden during the relevant period; the lead plaintiff inexplicably did not testify despite being competent; and a material defense document was suppressed. These suspicious circumstances, combined with the defendant's categorical denial of the signatures, placed the burden on plaintiffs to prove authenticity, which they failed to discharge under the Indian Evidence Act.
