1. This appeal is a regular first appeal instituted by the defendant from the judgment and decree of the District Judge, Patiala, dated 17-4-1954, passed in a suit for possession relating to three properties. Plaintiffs claim for the possession of 33 bighas and 5 biswas of land comprising of a garden was decreed and her suit as to the rest of the properties was dismissed. The parties were directed to bear their own costs. The defendant has instituted this appeal contending that the decree for the possession of the garden passed in favour of the plaintiff-respondent should be set aside. The plaintiff has filed cross-objections praying that her suit should also have been decreed with regard to the land in village Khera and the house known as Amarinder Hall, Patiala. The plaintiff Sardarni Harbans Kaur is the stepmother of defendant S. Anup Singh. The pedigree-table of the family is reproduced below:-
