Hence the appeal.. The appeal came up before us for final hearing on 4-6-1956 and. we heard thesppellBnt • s 1ea.rned counsel almost completely and t be lea.med counsel t"a.r the .respondent 1n part. we found that an adfudi \' ~ i cation on strict merits will .resul.t in great ba.rdship to one side or ~ .. the othe.r. At the same time· both sldes bad their strong points A suggestion :fl-om the Bench ta bave the matte.r decided 1n such a way as to avoid hardship to either side was weleomed by both sides and with their tacit assent we thought tbat if the plaintiff' 1s allowed to .redeem the p.rope.rty on payment of Rs. l,500/- to defendant 2 (son ¥ of defendant 1) within a pe.r1od of six months, that would be p.roper adjustment of the rights and equities of the parties. Wither side bad not much to say against it and we therefore proceed to pass a decree accordingly Within su: months f.rom this ,date the pla:\;ntiff will pay defen- dent 8 Rs, 1,500/- and obtain re-delivery of the propertyi±. . - r 'i . r I i,, II . - If the plaintiff .fails to disemrge the burden thus thrown on he.r the suit will stand dismissed with costs. but 1f the deposit 1s made with- ,. ¥ 1n the period specified the. plaintiff will be. given delivery of the property with all the improvements thereon.
