One third of this belonged to two persons named Ambica Singh and Jagdam Singh the remainder being held by other co-sharers with whom we are not concerned. In 1895 the two persons named granted a zarpeshgi mortgage of their one third share to certain persons who are now represented by the defendants 1 to 9 and they entered into possession. The plaintiff subsequently purchased the I whole proprietary interest in the 2 annas 6 pies patti including the one third share the subject of the mortgage.
