Summary of Case 12/2023 - Aathiyappan v. Krishnamoorthy The Principal District Judge set aside the trial court's decree and allowed defendant Aathiyappan's appeal, finding that the trial court erred in granting relief based on improperly moulded pleadings. While the trial court correctly determined that the mortgage deed dated 31.12.2012 was not a genuine mortgage (but rather a customary practice between dairy farm owners and milk suppliers), it improperly converted the dismissed mortgage claim into a simple loan recovery decree based solely on the defendant's admission of receiving ₹2,00,000, ignoring his counterclaim that ₹1,70,000 had been repaid, leaving only ₹30,000 outstanding. The appellate court held that relief cannot be moulded without specific pleadings and found the trial court's selective consideration of admissions prejudicial to the defendant. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
