(1.) Though this appeal is listed for admission, with the consent of learned counsel for parties, the appeal is taken up for final disposal.
(2.) The defendant in O.S. No. 205/2005 has preferred this second appeal, assailing judgment and decree passed in R.A. No. 71/2007 dated 25/2/2010 by Addl. Civil Judge (Sr. Dn.) at Hospet, allowing the appeal and decreeing the suit of the plaintiff by setting aside the judgment and decree dated 20/7/2007 passed by the Addl. Civil Judge (Jr. Dn.) & JMFC, Hospet, in O.S. No. 205/2005.
