(1.) This is an appeal by the plaintiff whose suit for partition was decreed in preliminary form against the defendants including proforma defendant No. 3 by the learned Subordinate Judge, Asansol. On appeal by pro-forma defendant No. 3 judgment of the trial court was modified and the suit against pro-forma defendant No. 3 was dismissed.
(2.) Properties in suit devolved on Keshudiram, Kunja and Mukunda. Plaintiff was the daughter and heir of Keshudiram and defendant No. 2 was the daughter and heir of Kunja. Defendant No. 1 was the widow and heir of Mukunda. So the plaintiff and defendants 1 and 2 became owners of the suit properties and had been in possession jointly.
(3.) Pro-forma defendant was made a party, as he was alleged to have manufactured certain papers in respect of the suit properties in collusion with the husband of defendant No. 1.
