JUDGMENT Thottathil B. Radhakrishnan, J, These appeals are filed by defendants 7 to 11 and defendants 16 and 18 respectively. The suit is one for partition. The appellants challenge the preliminary decree for partition. The plaintiffs want to withdraw the suit. Those defendants, who supported the plaintiffs, have also signed the joint statement (defendants 2 to 5). They now seek to stand by a partition deed entered into between the parties earlier. Recording this, both these appeals are allowed vacating the impugned decree and dismissing the suit as withdrawn. Thottathil B. Radhakrishnan, Judge P. Bhavadasan, Judge sb.
