The said decree was affirmed in Special Appeal No. 99 of 1956 by an appellate Bench of the said Court and also in Second Appeal No 1366 of 1960 by this Court. When the suit was pending in Second Appeal the beneficiary Tarak Nath Sen on this application was added a party respondent by an order made in Civil Rule No. 161/s of 1961 as it was considered desirable that the second appeal should be heard in his presence. After the ejectment decree was affirmed in Second Appeal the respondent no 2 Trarka nath Sen sought to put the decree into execution by filing an application for execution, which was registered as Execution Case No. 4 of 1964, along with an application describing its one under Order 1 Rule 10 and Order 21 Rule 16 of the Code. It was alleged in paragraph 4 of the said application that it was, inter alias, provide in the Trust deed dated 8. 7. 1941 that in respect of premises No. 17 Balaram Dey Street, Calcutta the trustee was to let out the said premise and realized rent and profits thereof and pays there out in the firs place of a rate, taxes etc and then pay Rs. 5/- per month to Sm.
