Deshpande, Counsel for the appellant. Mr. Uttam Chakravarti, Counsel for respondent Nos.1 and 2. CORAM : MRS. VRUSHALI V. JOSHI, J. DATED : 13.10.2026. Heard.

2. The appellant is the original defendant. The suit was filed for declaration and possession. An application for permission to amend the written statement and to file a counter claim was filed by the defendant. The same was rejected. According to the defendant, he is in possession of the suit property. The plaintiff has also stated that he is in possession of the suit property and the defendant is disturbing his possession and, therefore, he had filed the suit.

3. Though an application for permission to amend the written statement and to file a counter-claim was rejected, the defendant has not challenged the same.

4. The appellant has challenged the judgment of the Appellate Court before this Court raising a substantial question of law whether the Trial Court as well as learned Lower Appellate Court erred in fact and in law by not considering the contradiction on part of non-appellant regarding place of payment of money as well as purpose of entering into the said transaction with 2026:BHC-NAG:13877

2 sa132.2026 the appellant as an essential ground for deciding whether Section 55(5-a) of Transfer of Property Act, 1882, ought to be invoked/referred in the above circumstances?

5. Both the Courts below have given the findings against the appellant. The proposed substantial question of law is not pleaded before both the Courts below and not considered by both the Courts below. Therefore, there is no substantial question of law in this appeal. The concurrent findings are there. The appellant has not challenged the rejection of an application for permission to amend the written statement and to file counter-claim which was rejected by the Trial Court. Hence there is no merit, and no substantial question of law arises in this appeal. Therefore, the present second appeal stands dismissed in motion.
