SRINIVASACHARI, J.

( 1 ) THE respondent filed a suit for the recovery of possession of the suit property against her husband on the allegation that her father was the pattadar of the suit properties and after the death of her father, she became entitled to them. She alleged that her husband had wrongfully got the patta of the lands transferred in his name professing to be the illatom son-in-law. A suit was filed by the wife, the plaintiff herein for the cancellation of the patta and her being granted the patta and in that suit the question as to whether the defendant-respondent was the illatom son-in-law of the deceased was agitated and it was held that he was not the illatom son-in-law and the suit was decreed in favour of the wife (the daughter of the deceased ). Proceedings under section 145, Criminal Procedure code, were started by the appellant which ended in favour of the appellant. He obtained possession of the lands in pursuance of the order of the Criminal Court. The wife thereupon filed the present suit for a declaration and possession of the suit lands. The suit was resisted on the same grounds that the defendant was the illatom son-in-law and the plaintiff had no right.
