To be referred to the Reporters or not ? No 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? No -.- K. KANNAN J.(ORAL) 1. The point that arises for consideration in the above appeal is whether the plaintiff could maintain an action for declaration that on the lapse of 30 years from the date of execution of the lease, the mortgagee's right would enlarge into a right as a full owner of the property. I have already held in Ram Kumar and others Vs. Mohinder and others in RSA No.2628 of 1992 following the decision of Full Bench of this Court in Ram Kishan Vs. Shiv Ram ILR 2008 (1) P&H 719 that such a suit is not maintainable and a mortgagee whose mortgage is not redeemed will continue to be a mortgagee unless the redemption is lost either by conduct of parties or by a decree of Court. 2. The decrees of the Courts below are set aside and the appeal is allowed. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE December 13, 2011 Pankaj*
