Privity of contract

Dear sir,
I would like to produce a licence deed in the court as an evidence. But I am not a party in the agreement. Pl advice whether I could produce it ? If the opposite party raise the contention that I am a third party and no locus standi to produce the agreement. How could I defend it ? Whether it is hit by the principle Privity of contract ?

EVIDENCE ACT

One Mr. X is the absolute owner of an immovable property. X avails a loan for which the creditor obtains a registered sale agreement in favour of one Y and a General Power of Attorney (registered) in his favour i.e creditor.The said registered agreement and GPA were executed during Febraury,2000 on the same day. Mr.X executes an unregistered Will bequeathin the said property in favour of his wife Z during April,2000. Since August 2000, X is missing. A police complaint was lodged by Z (wife of X alongwith her son) and also paper publication (public notice regarding missing was also given in local dailies) during Early 2001. The Police Authorities have issued a No traceable Certificate during June2008. In the meanwhile, the Agreement holder Y is dead during the year 2004. The creditor who is holding the GPA executes a registered sale deed in favour of the legal representatives of Y during May,2008. The value of the property as on today is multifold and the amount mentioned in the sale agreement during 2000 is rs. 3,00,000/-.In the sale agreement it is receited that a sum of Rs.2,50,000/- was paid to X and the balance sale consideration payable is Rs.50,000/- only. Now Z wants to safeguard her property. The legal question is that whether there can be a presumption under Sections 107 and 108 of the Evidence Act that there is a Civil Death of X during the year 2007. consequently the GPA is invalid under law and thus the sale is not valid or whether the civil death can be considered only after the fact that the court declares the civil death and thereby there is a valid sale basing on the GPA. The other aspect is that whether the GPA is coupled with interest as per the provisions of Transfer of property Act. Whether the unregistered instrument requires probate? Request for solution with judgements of High Courts and Supreme courts on this point.

Whether wife of X can question the sale agreement executed by X during February 2000 as barred by time? Whether she can question that the transaction is only a finance transaction and the same cannot be enforced?

QUERY OF C.W.P ON THE FOLLOWING MATTER


ON : 8/1/2008 1:50:38 PM Post New Topic

I has the following query and will be grateful & thankful if i get the expert opinion by the expertise

I have filed the W.P.(Civil) in Hon'ble high court against the company which was given license to supply and distribution of electricity herin after called "licensee" against the notification which was served under section 163 of electricity act-2003 and aginst the replacement of existing meter by the electronic meter

Along with the writ petition, i have also filed the Civil Miscallneous apllication against the stay on disconnection of electricity during the pendency of suit

The writ application was filed in diary but before listing (due to objections in case diary ), the respondent/license managed to change the existing meter with the consent of petitioner under the influence of coercion

The copies of the writ application were already serviced to the standing counsel of the licensee company

What the petioner will now do (as the matter is not heared due to technical objections in the filing )?

Whether another Miscalleneous application needs to filed in case diary or he should wait & watch after the first hearing and let the court know about the facts?

In present scenario , the relief which he has claimed regarding not replacement of meter is not maintainable whether he should file the other application under the same writ application for another relief?
