1. This appeal is withdrawn and is therefore dismissed. The appellant has filed an application fox amendment of the decree which was allowed. The opposite party filed a revision petition in this Court. For fear that the amendment will be disallowed the appellant filed this appeal. Now that the revision petition is dismissed, the appellant is willing to withdraw the appeal. In these circumstances, the appellant asks for a refund of court-fee Rs.
