2. That Defendant No. 1 and the father of Defendant No. 1 and 2, who was late Buddhu
Singh, approached the Plaintiff’s father on 22.4.1981 with their dire financial situation of
not being able to handle household expenses due to lack of a space to work. The
Plaintiff’s father decided to permit Defendant No. 1 and the Defendants’ father late
Buddhu Singh to use the shop on the ground floor of the Premises to earn their
livelihood by starting a beverage shop. Therefore, in order to approach the second floor
of the Premises, where the Plaintiff’s father operated his business, customers would
have to go through the ground floor of the Premises, where the business of the
Defendant No. 1 and the father late Buddhu Singh were located.
3. That the Plaintiff’s father and the Defendant No. 1’s father late Buddhu Singh entered
into a contract in pursuant to the legal arrangement mentioned above. According to the
contract, the Defendant No. 1 or other legal heirs of late Buddhu Singh would not be
allowed to claim any right on the shop in the ground floor of the Premises and would
vacate the shop as and when called upon by the Plaintiff’s father or his legal heirs.
Furthermore, Defendant No. 1 or the other legal heirs of late Buddhu Singh had to pay
the Plaintiff’s father Rs. 1,000 (Rupees One Thousand) on the first day of every calendar
month from the execution date of the contract for the entire term of the contract,
which was mutually decided as 3 (Three) years. The ground floor of the Premises could
be used by the Defendant No. 1 and other legal heirs of late Buddhu Singh only for the
purpose of running a beverage shop. The contract between late Buddhu Singh and the
Plaintiff’s father was finalized on 30.4.1981 and possession was given on 1.05.1981, as
per the contract. The contract between the Plaintiff’s father and late Buddhu Singh has
been annexed to the present plaint as Annexure – B.
4. That the Plaintiff’s father passed away on 21.07.1981, after which, the first and second
floor of the Premises were kept locked. The Plaintiff and the other legal heirs of the
Plaintiff’s father decided to not continue the business for a while and kept the first and
second floor of the Premises locked.
5. That late Buddhu Singh died on 30.7.1981, after which, Defendant No. 1 and Defendant
No. 2 started running the beverage shop business. Without taking permission from the
Plaintiff or any other legal heir of the Plaintiff’s father, Defendant No. 1 and Defendant
No. 2 stopped the business of the beverage shop and started a new business of
electronic repairs.
6. That on 1. 08. 1981, the Plaintiff tried to access the first and second floor of the
Premises to set up a new business as a means of livelihood for the Plaintiff’s family. The
Defendant No. 1 and Defendant No. 2 started creating hindrance in the ingress and
5
egress of the upper floors of the Premises, which were erstwhile used for the business
of the Plaintiff’s father but were kept locked since his demise.
7. That the Defendants No. 1 and No. 2 continued to operate the electronic device repair
shop and continued the prevention of ingress and egress to the first and second floor of
the Premises despite repeated requests by the Petitioner.
8. That the Plaintiff and her sister issued a legal notice dated 14.08.1981 to Defendant No.
1 and Defendant No. 2 to discontinue the business and vacate the premises
immediately. Since the contract between the Plaintiff’s father and late Buddhu Singh
allowed for the usage of the ground floor of the Premises only for the business of a
beverage shop, operating an electronic repair shop from there was a violation of the
contract. Furthermore, Defendant No. 1 and Defendant No. 2 were unlawfully
preventing the access by the legal heirs of the Plaintiff’s father to the first and second
floor of the Premises. These violations were mentioned in the legal notice as well. The
legal notice was sent to the residential address of Defendants No. 1 and No. 2 and has
been returned undelivered with remarks “house found locked” in a return memo dated
25.08. 1997 The legal notice and the return memo have been annexed as Annexure – C
and Annexure – D respectively.
9. That another legal notice was sent by the Plaintiff to Defendants No. 1 and No. 2, dated,
which despite being received on 30.08.1981, has not been replied to. This second legal
notice has been annexed as Annexure – E.
10. That in view of the above facts and circumstances, it is clear that the Plaintiff, being a
legal heir of Mr. Sandeep Negi, who was the legal owner of the Premises, has
undisputed ownership right over the Premises and also the right to enforce the contract
between her father and the late Buddhu Singh. Therefore, a cause of action with respect
to violation of contract arose on the day the Defendants No. 1 and 2 started using the
ground floor of the Premises for a purpose not included in the contract. Furthermore, by
preventing the legal heirs of the Premises to access the first and second floor of the
Premises 1.08.1981 and after, a second cause of action with respect to unlawful
possession arose. This cause of action is still continuing and subsisting.
11. That due to the blocking of access by Defendants No. 1 and No. 2, the Plaintiff has been
unable to establish a new business on the first and second floor of the Premises to earn
their livelihood. Despite being served two legal notices, the Defendants No. 1 and No. 2
have refused to handover the possession of the Premises.
12. That the Premises is situated in West Delhi and the Defendant No. 1 to 2 are also
residing in West Delhi, therefor this Hon’ble District Court has the territorial jurisdiction
to try and entertain the present Suit and grant the relief as prayed.

13. That the value of the present Suit for the purpose of court fees and jurisdiction is duly
paid.
