No. 22/1953 ensures to the benefit of the decree holder appellant after the transfer of the said suit to the District Munsifs Court, Vijayawada.

One Vallabhaneni Raghavayya, the predecessor in interest of the respondents in this appeal, filed a surety bond of immoveable property for a sum of Rs. 4,800 Ex. A-1 and the bond was accepted and the properties of the defendants were released from attachment on 17-12-1953.
