The District Munsif gave a decree for recovery of possession and for a declaration of plaintiff's title during his life-time. The Subordinate Judge has amended the decree by removal of the limitation and has given a decree practically as sued for.2. Plaintiff's title rests on a kararnama, Exhibit A, executed in 1854 by one Syamala, who then held the office and emoluments. She had at the time two daughters (from whom appellants Nos. 1 and 2 are descended) and a son of a deceased daughter (the present plaintiff). To these three persons jointly she made over all her properties (including the service inam lands), directing at. the same time (according to the plaint) that the two daughters should continue...
