It had also been the case of defendant No. 1 that after the death of Rameshwar Mistry he entered into a partition with defendant No. 2 Gopal Mistry to the extent of half share. It has also been his case that some of the suit properties belonged to his wife and some other property have been sold out and the purchasers are in possession.
