The plaintiff and defendant No.2 paid a moiety as they were liable to pay and defendant No.1 paid the other moiety. On June 4, 1938, the Sangli State ordered that this amount of assessment which was paid should be refunded, and instead of refunding half to plaintiff and defendant No.2 and the other half to defendant No.1, the State refunded the whole amount to defendant No.1. On April 6, 1943, the plaintiff filed the suit claiming on his behalf and on behalf of defendant No.2 the half share, viz, Rs.291-3-2. The trial court dismissed the plaintiffs suit holding it was barred by limitation.
