Judgement

Appeal (No. 42 of 1925) from a decree of the High Court (March 19, 1923) which modified a decree of the Subordinate Judge of Belgaum.

The appellants sued in 1918 claiming the property of a Hindu who died in 1846, and whose widow had survived until 1912, on the ground that they were the son and grandsons of one Annagouda, who was nearest reversioner on the widows death. The question in the appeal was whether the plaintiffs were

precluded from recovering property alienated in 1868 by the widow in circumstances which appear from the judgment of the Judicial Committee.

The trial judge set aside the alienations and gave the plaintiffs a decree for the whole estate. On appeal the High Court set aside the decree, holding that the plaintiffs, being in no better position than their predecessor Annagouda, were bound by the alienations of 1868 and were entitled to recover only the property not then dealt with.

1927. May 17, 19, 20. E. B. Raikes and Nilkanth Atmaram for the appellants. The attestation of Annagouda to the two deeds was not evidence of his consent to the transactions Hari Kishen Bhagat
