Barfi Kunwar and the appellant Lachman Das executed the bond in suit for a consideration of Rs. 5,200 in favour of the respondent Ram Prasad son of Gulzari Lal. The plaintiff sought to enforce the mortgage and made parties to it not only the mortgagors but also the transferees from them and one Radhe Shiam, a minor son of Ram Prasad son of Dhuma Mal and his wife Mt. Barfi.

He further added that he had no interest in the property at the date of the mortgage and, therefore, the mortgage was not enforceable against the property mortgaged. The Appellant No. 2, Mt. Nanhi, appears to be a transferee from Mt. Barfi and her appeal before us repeats the same arguments which we shall presently notice, on behalf of
