M.R.SHARMA
Raj – Appellant

Sawan Mal died as a result of an accident. The petitioners filed a suit for declaration that they being the legal heirs of the deceased were entitled to receive the amount due under the policy of insurance. They also claimed a mandatory injunction that the amount due under the policy should not be paid to Devi Ditta Mall, the nominee.

The petitioners filed an appeal against that order which was dismissed. Thereafter, they filed the instant revision which came up before R. S.
