JUDGMENT :
ANUBHA RAWAT CHOUDHARY, J.
1. This Appeal has been filed against the Judgment dated 29.11.2016 (Decree signed on 13.12.2016) passed by learned Principal District Judge, Jamtara in Title Appeal No. 20 of 2015 whereby the learned Court has confirmed the Judgment dated 26.03.2015 (Decree dated 13.04.2015) passed by learned Civil Judge (Senior Division)-III, Jamtara in Title Suit No. 71 of 2002 and dismissed the appeal preferred by the appellant-principal defendant.
