Explanation using Example
Example 1:
Ravi sells to Sita, by a written agreement, "my house at Green Park, Delhi, with an area of 2000 square feet." Ravi indeed owns a house at Green Park, Delhi, with an area of 2000 square feet. Later, Ravi tries to argue that the house he intended to sell was actually a different property located in Noida with a different area. According to Section 94 of The Indian Evidence Act 1872, Ravi cannot present evidence to show that he meant to sell the Noida property instead of the Green Park property because the language in the document is clear and accurately applies to the existing facts.
Example 2:
Meera leases to Raj, by a written lease agreement, "my shop at Connaught Place, New Delhi, measuring 500 square feet." Meera owns a shop at Connaught Place, New Delhi, which measures exactly 500 square feet. Later, Meera tries to claim that the shop she intended to lease was actually another shop she owns in Karol Bagh, New Delhi, with a different measurement. Under Section 94 of The Indian Evidence Act 1872, Meera cannot introduce evidence to show that she meant to lease the Karol Bagh shop because the document's language is plain and accurately describes the existing shop at Connaught Place.
