Respondents 2, 3, and 4 in R.S.A. No. 1003 of 2004 are parties who have been impleaded subsequent to the filing of the Second Appeal on the basis of I.A. Nos. 1925, 1981 and 1963 of 2004. The Trial Court decreed the suit in part. The plaintiff preferred an appeal before the District Court. The District Court allowed the appeal and decreed the suit in full. R.S.A. 1003 of 2004 is directed against the judgment and decree of the District Court. Additional respondents 2 to 4 in this appeal support the appellants. Even though the Courts below have narrated the rival pleadings very elaborately, I am also referring to the pleadings in brief.
