Munshi Abdus Sobhan and another Vs Abdul Mannan being dead his legal heirs: 1(a) Samirun Nesa and others
Cause of action presupposes the existence of a right in the plaintiff which right has either been infringed or is threatened to be infringed. Cause of action cannot be considered in a isolated way and the whole averments made in the plaint are to be seen and taken together to see whether any cause of action has been disclosed or not. Cause of action of a suit arises when right of a plaintiff is denied or invaded by the other side and the suit for declaration of title on a property will be well within time if it is laid within the period of six years as prescribed under Article 120 of the Limitation Act. Against the wrong record of rights the person whose interest is affected is required to file the suit seeking declaration of title within six years from the date the person in whose name record has been wrongly prepared and finally published raises claim on the basis of wrong record.

The consistent view of apex courts of this sub-continent is that not only a gift under Muhammadan Law but also under Transfer of property Act, a gift must be coupled with acceptance and delivery of possession. Where a donee of property is in bona fide possession of it, though the gift had not been perfected by a registered instrument in accordance with law, the donor or its representative cannot oust the donee who had been in undisturbed possession of the property for a long period though such period falls short of 12 years.

As per section 60 of the Transfer of Property Act the right of redemption is available to the mortgagor after the principal loan amount has become due and paid. Section 60A of the Transfer of Property Act allows the mortgagor to require the mortgagee to assign the mortgage debt and transfer mortgagor’s property to such third party as the mortgagor may direct and the mortgagee shall be bound to obey such direction of the mortgagor.

It is settled principle of law that when there is no right, there is no remedy. For the maintainability of a declaratory suit under section 42 of the Specific Relief Act the plaintiff must have a legal character or any right as to the property in suit. A person cannot sue for a declaration of his right unless he has an existing right. In the instant case, the mortgagors neither took permission from HBFC before the transfer was made to the plaintiffs nor repaid the loan amount before the transfer. As such, in view of the relevant provisions of Transfer of Property Act, as discussed above, as well the decision the hon’ble Appellate Division in Syed Jubayer Hossain (supra) the transaction was a fraudulent one and by dint of such transfer plaintiffs could not acquire right, title or interest in the suit property. Accordingly, their suit for declaration that the execution proceeding against their vendor- mortgagors was illegal, in effective and not binding upon them is not maintainable under section 42 of the Specific Relief Act.


The case of Sekandar, 3 LM (AD) 448 (supra) is quite distinguishable considering the facts and circumstances of the instant case because in the said case the third-party-claimants claimed their independent title to and possession in the suit property from the persons other than the mortgagors. In the instant case the plaintiffs are claiming their title to and possession in the suit property through the mortgagors. As such, the plaintiffs cannot be considered as third-party-claimants and accordingly, they have no remedy under rule 103 of Order 21 of the Code of Civil Procedure for setting aside the auction process because of the fact that the plaintiffs have stepped into the shoes of the mortgagors/ judgment debtors.
