1.

2. Plaintiff’s case is that the suit property was purchased by his wife prior to their marriage. After marriage they began to reside in the suit property, a portion of which was occupied by a tenant. His wife had been suffering from high blood pressure, high blood sugar and neurological problem and she was under medical treatment. Since no issue was born out of their wedlock, they adopted a female child named Shibani Das and they brought her up as their own daughter. The condition of Kamalarani deteriorated day by day and she used to stay in Kolkata under the care of Shibani. Plaintiff used to come at weekend. Shibani used to take help of the defendants who are the sons of the elder sister of his wife, in the event of crisis. Ultimately plaintiff managed his posting at Kolkata and took his wife and Shibani to his paternal house at Dumdum. From t
