....intiff's claim is wrong and misleading and that the Raasta which is 10 feet wide on the East side of the Plaintiff's property is being used as a public utility for more than 20 years over which the porch has been constructed. In the written statement, the plea taken was that even as per the sale deed, only the land was sold in favour of the Plaintiff and there was no the Raasta on the East which was sold to the Plaintiff. Thus, the Raasta was not part of the property which was sold to the Plaintiff and it was for common use. 6. Trial was held in the suit and parties led their evidence. Witnesses were produced both by the Plaintiff as also the Defendant. On behalf of the Plaintiff, the Plaintiff examined himself as PW-1 and also exa....

The best evidence for proving this fact were the depositions of the sellers Shri Kanwar Singh and Shri Risal Singh, which the Plaintiff did not produce in his evidence. 18.

Even otherwise, plaintiff has put suggestion to this witness that said 10th ft. wide raasta on east side of plot in question, was left by plaintiff in his own property alongwith the length of the property. Said suggestion was refuted by this witness. Even otherwise, said contention of plaintiff was not mentioned in the plaint. Therefore, said suggestion was an improvement on the part of plaintiff, which did not probabilize the case of plaintiff. Thus, I discarded the said claim of plaintiff. 24. The net result is that, plaintiff failed to prove his case based on preponderance of probabilities. Ld. Trial Court rightly dismissed the suit of plaintiff. In view of the aforesaid apprecia....

....that the Plaintiff could not prove his case. 12. Thus, in the opinion of this Court, the Appellate Court also having upheld this very finding, no substantial question of law arises in this matter and there is no ground for warranting interference against the concurrent findings of the Trial Court. It is settled law that in a second appeal, the scope of interference is quite narrow. The Supreme Court in C Doddanarayana Reddy (Dead) by LRs & Ors. v. C Jayarama Reddy (Dead) by LRs & Ors. AIR 2020 SC 1912 has held as under: "25. The question as to whether a substantial question of law arises, has been a subject matter of interpretation by this Court.
