J.) it was urged that the defendant being a bona fide purchaser for value from ostensible owner, the sale should have been upheld and that, in any case, the Courts below should have given a direction to the effect that "the execution of the decree in so far as it directs the purchaser to deliver possession of the property to the plaintiff be stayed for a fixed period and if before the expiry of that period the purchaser brings a suit for general partition against the plaintiff, then the stay should continue
