Hemeo—The plaintiffs-appellants are Rajah Chattar Singh and his son Dharam Singh. Their claim for a declaration that Rani Tara Moti had not become absolute owner of 19 villages of the Dilheri estate, Narsinghpur sub-division, by adverse possession and that the respondent Roshan Singh was not entitled to hold the estate as against them after her demise, because Roshan Singh's possession from the 25th of July 1917 under a deed of gift was permissive and in Rani Tara Moti's behalf and did not affect the appellant's right of inheritance as also their claim for possession, was dismissed on the 30th of October 1937 by the Additional District Judge, Narsinghpur. The plaintiffs have accordingly appealed against that decision and with this appeal will be considered the grounds contained in the cross-objection filed by the respondent.
