By the said agreeme nt the defendant was to pay US$37500 (United States Dollars Thirty seven thousand five hundred) on execution of the agreement and the remaining balance was to be paid on delivery of the title deed in the defendant\rquote s name. The agreement further stipulated that the vendor would indemnify the purchaser for any loss or damage suffered as a result of any damage suffered as a result of any defect in the vendor\rquote s title to the property which may prevent the purchaser from acquiring legal title to the same or from acquiring quiet possession of the same, and in such event a full refund would be effected and the property reverted to the vendor. \par \par The Late Norattam Bhatia\rquote s interest in the suit property was as a sole beneficiary under a trust created by the registered p roprietors now deceased. The whereabouts of the said trust deed were unknown. The Late Norattam Bhatia made several fruitless attempts to have the legal title to the suit land vested in him to enable him effect transfer to the defendant, but was unable to succeed in the absence of the said trust deed. \par \par After failing to transfer the title to the defendant, the Late Norattam Bhatia decided in the alternative to invoke the clause in the agreement to effect a full refund to the purchaser and have the property reverted back to the vendor. A refund was purportedly made through the Late Norattam Bhatia\rquote s Lawyers. Upon depositing the refund, the Late Norattam Bhatia proceeded to request the defendant to vacate the premises. The defendant however declined, refuse d or neglected to vacate. Hence this suit. \par \par The defendant in its defence denied that the plaintiff had made proper attempts to have the legal title vested in him. The defendant averred and contended that clause 2 of the sale agreement provided that the vendor would indemnify the purchase for any loss or damage suffered as a result of any defect in the vendor\rquote s title to the property and not the failure to transfer as alleged. It was contended that in a bid to frustrate the contract, the plaintiff delibe rately refused and/or neglected to regularize his title to the said land by adopting the right procedure proposed by the commissioner for land Registration. The defendant concluded that it was in effective occupation/possession of the suit property, lega lly and rightfully and was willing to complete payment therefore in accordance with the terms of the sale agreement but for the plaintiff\rquote s attempts to frustrate the contract. \par \par The defendant made a counterclaim where it was contended that it was the plaintiff who was in breach of agreement as a result of which the defendant suffered loss and damage. \par \par At the commencement of the trial the following significant facts of the case were admitted; \par \par {\listtext\pard\plain\lang1033\langfe1033\langnp1033\langfenp1033\insrsid549002\charrsid9264511 \hich\af0\dbch\af0\loch\f0 (1)\tab}}\pard \qj \fi-675\li675\ri0\sl360\slmult1\widctlpar \jclisttab\tx675\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\ls1\adjustright\rin0\lin675\itap0\pararsid9264511 {\insrsid549002\charrsid9264511 Firstly, it was admitted that the parties entered into a sale agreement on the 17}{\super\insrsid549002\charrsid9264511 th}{ \insrsid549002\charrsid9264511 April 1996 whereby the plaintiff agreed to sell the suit property, Plot 1 Martin Road, to the defendant.

The plaintiff contended further that he was entitled to invoke the clause and refund the purchase money and repossess the property. \par \par The defendant on the other hand contended that by failing to transfer the property as per contract the plaintiff was in breach of that agreement, and that clause 2.2 protected the plaintiff in a situation where he had a defective title and not a scenario where he failed to transfer due to negligence or willful laziness.

He testified that this suit was in respect of Plot 1 Martin Road, which was purchased by his grandfather and grandmother and registered on 5}{\super\insrsid549002\charrsid9264511 th}{\insrsid549002\charrsid9264511 November 1935 under Instrument No.31655. On the same day they executed a declaration of trust in favour of his father Norattam D Bhatia which was reflected on the title deed under encumbrances. He testified that the trust deed used to be kept in the safe in their office at Buganda Road prior to the expulsion of Asians in 1972. Since then the tru s t deed was lost. He testified that there ws a sale agreement (exhibit P3) between his late father and Crane Bank Ltd in which he acted on behalf of his father through his power of attorney. In that agreement his father was selling the suit property as l awful and beneficiary owner of the property by virtue of the trust declaration. \par \par He stated that at that moment he was not in possession of the trust deed and that fact was brought to the attention of the purchaser before the agreement was executed. He stat ed that after the death of his grandparents who were registered proprietors, his aunt Mrs Naresh Kara became the executrix. In that circumstance, the plaintiff was not given power to administer the estate. \par \par PW1 testified that prior to selling the property Mrs Kara had put a caveat on the title with the hope that she would usurp the property and prevent the plaintiff from getting the property, to his benefit. As a result of Mrs Kara\rquote s action the plaintiff could not regularize his title to the suit property . In 1993 they applied to the High Court for a directive to vest the property with the plaintiff being a sole beneficiary to the trust created by the registered proprietor but that application was disallowed. All that happened before the sale agreement w a s entered. He stated that all those difficulties were communicated to the defendant who despite that went ahead to enter into the agreement. Because of the above difficulties he created a clause in the agreement that full refund of money would be made i n case of failure in transferring title to the buyer. He testified to the various attempts which were made to have the title deed registered in the names of the plaintiff without success. Among the same was an attempt to apply for vesting under which the Registrar of titles rejected. \par \par The next option was to go through Mrs Kara for direct transfer or under succession. This option could not go through because of the mentality of Mrs Kara. The same Mrs Kara frustrated an option for the application of a limited grant under Administration Case No. 701/1998. \par \par In view of the above dead-end, he decided to opt for a sub-lease which would allow the defendant to use the property for the balance of the period of the lease. That option also flopped because of lac k of response from the defendant. Having tried all options in vain, he decided to invoke clause 2 of the agreement and refund the money in order to have the property returned to him. He concluded that court should order the defendant to return the prope rty to him and for him to refund the advanced payment to the defendant. He also prayed for the defendant to give full account of the money they had received as rent to be paid to him. \par \par As for the defendant Mr Sudhir Ruparelia (DW1) testified inter alia, th at he was shareholder, Director and Vice Chairman of the defendant company. He stated that the suit property was acquired by the defendant in order to sell it to their prospective client, the late Lt. Col. Dragon\rquote s family. By agreement dated 17/4/96 (exhibit P3) the defendant acquired the suit property from Bhatia. Nippon B. Bhatia (PW1) signed on behalf the vendor as holder powers of attorney. The agreement was so prepared by Nippon Bhatia\rquote s lawyers. The agreement showed that Bhatia was selling the pr operty as successor to his father. Clause 1 of the agreement stated that Bhatia was selling the property as a sole lawful and beneficiary of the property by virtue of a declaration of trust by the registered proprietors. He stated that during the execut ion of the agreement, he did not see the trust deed but it was agreed that the plaintiff\rquote s lawyers would transfer the property to the defendant and transfer forms were signed to that effect. Mr Sudhir testified that all along it was not mentioned to him t hat the trust deed was missing otherwise he would not have concluded the transaction. He stated that Mr Bhatia did not declare to the defendant that he had made attempts to transfer the property in his names but failed. He testified that since the certi ficate of repossession was in his father\rquote s name the issue of trust deed never came up. He testified that they had bought leasehold interest in the land so they could not accept a sub-lease offered by the defendant. \par \par Mr Sudhir continued by stating that the plaintiff did not follow that advice of the Chief Registrar of title as to the procedure to follow to register the suit property through retransfer or under section 143 of the Registration of Titles Act. He stated that the plaintiff was not interested in

transferring the property because it has now appreciated in value up to $400000 as opposed to $75000 at the time of the agreement. He concluded that the property was now in possession of a third party who had bought it from the defendant. As such it wa s not available for return to the plaintiff. He prayed that the transaction should be fulfilled to enable the transaction finalized. In the alternative he testified that a second option was to refund the $37000 with interest at 36%p.a. plus damages.

She could not create a deadlock because if she was not willing for one reason or the other to perform her role as executrix of the will of Mambhai Dharamsy Bhatia, there are still other options at the table for the plaintiff as a sole beneficiary of the estate to either remove the recalcitrant Kara or to compel her to act as the law demands of her under the Succession Act Cap 162. \par \par Having failed to comply with the a bove steps, the plaintiff cannot be heard to say that there was a defect in his title.
