2. These applicants are persons who took a transfer of certain property from a man named Sumer Chand.

3. In the year 1918 a suit was brought against Sumer Chand and certain others by certain members of the family to which Sumer Chand belonged. That was a suit in which the plaintiffs sought to set aside certain dispositions of property made by Sumer Chand and his father Panna Lal who had been the head of a joint Hindu family of which the plaintiffs were members. In that suit the present applicants-appellants were impleaded as being transferees from Sumer Chand.
