MR. ______________ RESPONDENT

AFFIDAVIT

IT IS MOST RESPECTFULLY SHOWETH:

I, _______________, son of Shri. ______________, aged about __ years, resident of ______, ________________, New Delhi-______, do hereby solemnly affirm and declare as under:-

1. I am the Petitioner No. 2 in the above referred Suit. I am well conversant with the facts and circumstances of the present case and I am competent to swear to this affidavit.

2. It is submitted that my name has been given as Petitioner No. 2 in the Suit for Specific Performance referred to above. However, I never approached or even authorised the counsel for filing any appeal on my behalf nor have I ever executed any vakalatnama in his favour. I have not even authorised my Brother (Petitioner No.1) in this behalf.

3. It is only from the respondent in the Petition referred to above that I came to know about the filing of the said Petition. There is no denying the fact that I was one of Parties in the Agreement to Purchase the flat, but I had given up the idea of buying the flat as the Respondent had refunded my money with interest. I had long conveyed the said idea to the respondent and even to the Petitioner No.1 herein.

4. Most apparently, the Petitioner No. 1 want to grab more money from the Respondent as the Market value of the property is increased three times and he intends to drag me into the puddle. However, I categorically refuse to accede to such unauthorised and illegal induction.

5. It is most respectfully submitted that I am not at all interested in conducting or prosecuting the Petition which has been filed on my behalf without my consent, knowledge or approval.

6. At the same time, since the 1st Petitioner is my brother, I don't wish to take any further action to be taken against him for having conducted himself in this manner.

7. In view of the aforesaid circumstances, it is just and necessary that this Hon'ble Court may be pleased to delete my name from the list of parties as prayed in the accompanying application.
