K. VEERASWAMI, C.J. :- The two second appeals arise from the same suit instituted by the appellant in S. A. 1512 of 1970 for a declaration of his title to the property and permanent injunction forbidding the defendants from interfering with his possession. The first defendant instituted O. S. No. 145 of 1958 in the Court of the District Munsif, Madurai, against her father for maintenance and asked for a charge over specific property. The institution of that suit was on 2-4-1958. On 20-8-1958, the father conveyed that property by sale for a consideration of Rs. 10,000, and the purchaser in his turn sold it on 8-2-1960, to the appellant in S. A. 1512 of 1970. The appellant in that appeal claims to have discharged an earlier mortgage on the property, thesum involved being Rs. 1500. But that was not the mattes which was put in issue, nor was the subject-matter of the decision of the Courts below. We will revert to it in due time. On 9-2-1959, the suit instituted by the daughter for maintenance was decreed. But on appeal, the property in respect of which she had asked for a charge was substituted by another. Eventually in second appeal the decree of the trial Court was restored
