Nirmal had a prima facie case in her favour. Balance of convenience was also in her favour. "Principle of irreparable injury" was also in her favour. There was an agreement to sell in her favour dated 13.12.1995 alleged to have been executed by Kalawati. It was stipulated in that agreement that Kalawati would execute sale deed in favour of Smt. Nirmal on or before 30.3.1997. Kalawati sold land measuring 7 kanal 2 marla to Lakhpat Singh vide sale deed dated 13/14.3.1997, which prima facie was in breach of that agreement. Sale in favour of Lakhpat Singh would remain unaffected if Lakhpat Singh is able to prove that he was bona fide purchaser for consideration and he was not aware that the land purchased by him was subject matter of agreement to sell dated 13.12.1995 in favour of Smt. Nirmal. It is question of evidence whether he purchased this land measuring 7 kanal 2 marla bona fide for consideration on 13.3.1997 and he was not aware of the agreement dated 13.12.1995. It is also question of evi....
