Md. Hurmuz Ali Pramanik S/o Late Kairuddin Pramanik – Appellant

Md. Safiduddun Sarkar S/o Late Mokram Ali Bepari – Respondent
JUDGMENT :
DEVASHIS BARUAH, J.
1. Heard Mr. S.K. Ghosh, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the appellant and Mr. B.K. Sen, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondents.
2.
