2. The plaintiff filed a suit for declaration of her title and confirmation of possession in respect of the suit land measuring 1 katha and 1/2 lecha being half of the total land covered by Dag No. 377. Her case is that the total land covered by dag No. 377 was the joint property of her husband Krishnaram and his brother Mihiram, who had equal shares in the land. The land was partitioned during the lifetime of her husband and the eastern half fell to her husbands share and he was in possession thereof.

The defendant set up his title to the suit land and threatened to dispossess the plaintiff. Hence she filed the present suit.

3. The defendant does not deny that the property in question was the joint property of Krishnaram and Mihiram. His case is that on the death of Mihiram his shares devolved on his daughter Moina, who was enjoying her fathers share jointly with Kr
