The lower Appellate Court without dealing with the other issues upheld the decision of the Court of first instance on the same ground. The plaintiff comes here in second appeal contending that the decision on the point of law was not correct. We have this day in a connected Second Appeal No. 1503 of 1914 See Musammat Bhagwan Deo v.
