The plaintiffs filed this suit on 7th August 1928 to set aside an order passed upon their claim petition on 10th November 1923.

No. 174 of 1925 on the file of the sub-Court and A.S. No. 28 of 1924 on the file of the District Court) from the order of the executing Court dated 10th November 1923. The learned Subordinate Judge reversed the decision of the executing Court by his decree dated 17th July 1925. A second appeal was preferred to the High Court, which was disposed of by the High Court on 11th November 1927.
