This is a civil revision of 1972. It has shaken its dust and has reached, after having passed through various vicissitudes, the stage of final hearing. It is a pity that a matter which is otherwise not very complicated should have taken so long. Partly it seems it is due to the fact that there are a number of opposite parties and it took the petitioner a long time to get the notices duly served on all of them.

2. A suit for partition was filed by the petitioner claiming himself to be an assignee of 1/6th share in the property in question. He valued the suit for the purpose of jurisdiction at a total sum of Rs. 3,000/- of which the value for the suit land and houses was fixed at Rupees 2,500/-. The learned trial court had before it a Kabala showing sale of about 900 square cubits of land at Rupees 18,000/-. At this rate the value of the entire property came to around Rs. 50,000/-.
