JUDGEMENT

(1.) This is a suit by the appellant upon two policies of life insurance on the life of his mother Bai Kesar, widow of Kalidas Tejaji, to recover the assurance moneys payable under the said policies as the assignee thereof.

(2.) The defendants raised several pleas, the most material of which are those contained in paragraphs 6 and 7 of the written statement. The plea in paragraph 6 is in these terms:

(3.) The First Class Subordinate Judge of Ahmedabad accepted the defendants' case in its entirety and dismissed the suit, and hence this appeal. There is no dispute that all things had happened which were necessary to entitle the plaintiff to recover. His title was disputed in the written statement but has been held established by the Judge and not disputed before us. The question as to want of jurisdiction was answered against the defendants, and that finding is not challenged.
