clear and unambiguous-admission on law not requirednot mandatory to act and pass judgment-an application
for judgment against D4 tenant-admission in written
statement-D4 admitted plaintiff and D1 to D3 co-sharer
of the suit property-D4 inducted into the suit property
as tenant by D1 to D3 at the back of the plaintiff-lease
executed by D1 to D3 not valid D4 liable to vacate the
premises—Contended right of tenancy could not be
raised an vague plea of settlement-or a contrary plea
of being co-sharer-pleadings insufficient for raising
an issue—D4 contended-admissions as alleged not in
the written statement-fact stated in the preliminary
objection without prejudice-do not constitute reply on
merit-verification averment in the preliminary
objections-believed to be true-legal information
received-D2 to WS division of property took placebeing a disputed question could not be decided at
this stage—Court Observed-distribution of equal
portion to each co-parcner being in possession of
each for a long time-accepted-enjoyed by them without
any objection-hindrance-denial-obstruction-amounts to
division/partition—Held- settled law if a co-parcner is
in exclusive possession of any portion of undivided piece of land or property not exceeding his or her
share-her share in possession cannot be disturbed
until partition-transferee would also have the right

required to plead facts specifically. In preliminary objections
parties can even take contrary pleas. The same would not
amount to an admission.It is well settled that an admission has to be categorical, in
clear and unambiguous terms admitting the case of other
side. In Sneh Vasih and another vs. Filatex India Ltd.
and another, 95 (2002) DLT 373Important Issue Involved: (a) Unnecessary scandpalous,
frivolous of fictitious pleadings which tend to prejudice and
embarrass or delay the fair trial are liable to be struck off
(b) for the judgment to be pronounced on admission, such
admissions must be admission of facts, must be clear and
unambiguous terms admitting the case of other parties. (c)
admission of questions of law is not required.CASES REFERRED TO:
