Siddharth, J. -
(1.) This is a plaintiff's second appeal directed against the judgment and decree dated 09.08.1999 passed by IInd Additional District Judge, Deoria in Civil Appeal No.267 of 1988 and the judgment and decree dated 22.11.1988 passed by the Munsiff, Kasia, Deoria in Original Suit No.683 of 1985, whereby the suit of the plaintiff was dismissed.
(2.) The plaintiff's case was that he has instituted the suit against the defendants praying for decree of permanent injunction restraining the defendant no.1, Gopinath, not to dispose of the disputed property in favour of any one and also for cancellation of the sale deed executed by him in favour of defendant no.3, Smt. Radhika, during the pendency of suit in respect of his property. It was further stated that plaintiff and defendant no.2 are real brothers and sons of defendant no.1. Defendant no.3 is the wife of defendant no.2. The disputed property is agricultural land and his ancestral property inherited from his father, defendant no.1 and his grand-father. He is member of Hindu coparcenary family and has acquired interest in the suit property by birth and the defendant no.1 has no right to transfer the same.
