Court: Chennai

Decided on: Jun-20-1966

Reported in: (1966)2MLJ394

The plaintiff has, therefore, preferred this revision petition contending that a decree should be passed against the third defendant also.2. Learned Counsel for the petitioner contended that, as per the terms of the agreement, the first defendant had no right to pledge the sewing machine with the third defendant and therefore his client would be entitled to recover the machine from whomsoever it remained.
