Before that one who is Respondent in C.R.P. has purchased property during the pendency of suit - Purchase is during the pendency of suit for the charge decree in respect of suit property - Executing Court also considered the evidence of P.W.1 that he himself not aware of the nature of trees, what was the exact no of trees cut and removed from the property, has come to the conclusion that Revision Petitioner has not proved the factum of cutting and removal of trees - Since he has not examined any independent witnesses, traders or timber merchants to prove allegation, Executing Court rightly negatived his claim for deposit of the alleged sale proceeds, in the absence of any evidence to show that the trees worth about Rs.2,50,000/-cut and removed from the property - Merely on the basis of the liberty granted by this Court in the earlier Revision Petition to move before trial Court to work out his remedy, court view that cannot be a ground to order the application.

1. The case has got chequered history.

Since the issues and the parties in both the Revision Petitions are same, this common order is rendered.

2. The facts which are necessary to decide the Civil Revision Petitions are as follows:

2.(a) On 07.04.1987 one Mr.Subbiya Reddiar filed suit in O.S.No.42 of 1987 before the Sub-Court Chengalpet against Radhabhai Ammal, the Respondent in C.R.P.(NPD) No.4003 of 2007, for recovery of Rs.23,892.50 with interest at 12% on Rs.15,500/- with a charge over the suit property.

The above suit was decreed by the trial Court on 06.08.2007.
