Har Peari Devi were originally im-pleaded as the two plaintiff-respondents in the three second appeals filed in this Court and it was only at the time of the hearing under Order 41 Rule 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure that the name of Smt. Kanti Devi. the third respondent was added and the Court directed issue of notice to her alone.3. Before dealing with the merits of the same as put forth by Mr. V. K.
