JUDGEMENT

(1.) The petitioner is a landlord of the suit-house bearing No. 18/125 situated at Osmanabad. The petitioner mortgaged this property with possession in favour of the present respondent No. 1 by a registered mortgage-deed, dated the 15th April, 1970, for an amount of Rs. 1,200/-. The mortgages was to retain and enjoy the possession of the mortgaged property till the mortgage amount was repaid to the mortgagee-respondent No. 1.
