RADHAKRISHNAN,J --------------------------- A.S.No. 533 OF 1997 ---------------------------- DATED THIS THE 14TH DAY OF NOVEMBER, 2006 JUDGMENT This appeal arises from O.S. 278 of 1994 of the Sub Court, Muvattupuzha, which is one for partition after declaring Ext. B9 Will as invalid. O.S.No.280 of 1994, a suit for permanent prohibitory injunction on the strength of title based on Ext.B9 Will was also tried jointly with O.S.278 of 1994. The suit for partition from which this appeal arises was partly decreed. But the genuineness of Ext.B9 Will was upheld and the suit O.S.280 of 1994 was decreed on the strength of that Will. In the absence of any appeal against the decree in O.S. 280 of 1994, the same has become final and operates as res judicata to this first appeal against the decree in O.S. 278 of 1994. Hence, this appeal is dismissed. THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE dvs THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, J A.S.No.533 OF 1997 JUDGEMENT DATED THIS THE 14TH DAY OF NOVEMBER,2006
