(2). Contextual facts depict that Akhey Giri filed suit No. (108/55) on May 27, 1955 against Pratap Giri and Tara Giri for partition claiming 1/3 share in the suit property. After about two years i.e. on March 23, 1957 Tara Giri, the uncle of Akhey Giri, filed another suit (50/1957) against Pratap Giri and Akhey Giri seeking partition and possession of the suit property. Both the suits were consolidated. Learned Additional Civil Judge No.2, Jaipur City on the basis of pleadings of the parties framed issues, examined witnesses and passed preliminary decree dated June 5, 1971 holding that Akhey Giri and Tara Giri each were entitled to 1/3 share in the suit property shown in the site plan 2 Ka. Suit Property 2 Kha was declared as joint property, whereas suit in regard to suit property 2 Ga, Gha and 5 was dismissed.
(3). Against the said decree Akhey Giri and Prahlad Giri S/o Tara Giri filed first appeals bearing Nos. 102/80 and 103/80. Learned Additional District Judge No. 6, Jaipur City although decided the appeals by two independent decrees but the date of decrees and conclusion was common. It was held that the plaintiffs were entitled to seek partition only of the properties mentioned in para `Ga, `Gha and `Na in the judgment.
