..... Nagendra Nath Dey and Pulin Behari Dey, who are the appellants before this Board, and Madan Mohan and his son, who are respondents Nos. 24 and 27 respectively. The position at that date was that some of the co-sharers were mortgagees and all the co-sharers were mortgagors. 3. In 1907, after the shares of the several co-sharers in the partition suit had been alloted to them and the receiver discharged, Madan Mohan and his son instituted the suit out of which the present appeal arises in the Court of the Subordinate Judge of Hooghly to enforce the mortgage. In this suit Madan Mohan claimed that the appellants (defendants Nos. 11 and 12) had assigned their interest in the mortgage to him. The Subordinate Judge upheld his claim, and after ta .....

..... _ For the execution Three years ... 1. The date of the decree of a decreeor order or order; or of any Civil Court not provided for by 2. (where there has been article 183 or by an appeal) the date of section 48 of the Code the final decree or order of Civil Procedure, of the Appellate Court. 1908. _________________________________________________________________ 11.

B. three of the Judges in the Full Court took one view, and two the other, In Gopal Chunder Manna v. Gosain Das Kalay (1898) I.L.R. 25 Cal. 591, F. B. a Calcutta Full Bench followed the Allahabad minority, though drawing a distinction between cases of joint and of several decrees.
