In this appeal the property in dispute is comprised in Schedule B to the plaint. The District Judge has dismissed the plaintiff's suit so far as the B Schedule property is concerned. The plaintiff has preferred this second appeal.2. The first point raised by Mr. Bhashyam for the appellant is, that what was sold to the 58th defendant under his mortgage decree was only the life-interest of the plaintiff's mother.

The alienations were made so far back as 1888 and 1889 under Exs. 3, L2, L9 to L11 and Clause The alienations were made by the plaintiff and his two brothers and by their mother Alamelammal and by a minor brother for whom Alamelammal acted as guardian.

1. The suit relates to Sri Parthasarathy Swami Temple situate in Triplicane, Madras. It is an ancient Vaishnavifee temple of Thengalai persuasion and held sacred and resorted to by large numbers of worshippers from all parts of South India. Sri Parthasarathy, the presiding deity in the temple, is Sri Krishna, as Parthasarathy the Charioteer of Arjuna, the Gitachariya, the Propounder of the Bhagavat Gita.2. It is a matter for great regret that this temple should have, during several years past, been involved almost continuously in the litigation, and thus its affairs should have got into chronic mismanagement.3. The two plaintiffs instituted the suit with the sanction of the Advocate-General under the provisions of Section 92, G.P.C. The three defendants have been for some years past the Trustees, Dharmakarthas of the temple; the 1st and 2nd defendants from about 1913 and the 3rd defendant from June 1919.
