This appeal is filed challenging the judgment and decree dated 26.11.2001 passed by the learned single Judge in A.S.No.730 of 1991, whereby the appeal filed by the plaintiff was partly allowed directing partition of the plaint schedule properties into four equal shares among the plaintiff and defendants 1 to 3 with a further direction to allot one such share to the plaintiff.
