(1.) Cm No.12210-C of 2016
(2.) Since notice was still to be issued in the appeal itself, the application is accepted and the appeal is taken up for hearing today itself.
(3.) Upon notice issued to them, the defendants had filed a joint written statement denying the contents of the plaint and stating that the suit property was actually ancestral, owned by the wifes' sister of Shri Chhota Lal, grand father of the first defendant and maternal aunt of the plaintiff. It was further contended that she had adopted the first defendant (wrongly typed as plaintiff No.1 in the judgment of the learned Civil Judge) and as such he had been living in the house as its owner.
