reasonable requirement.

disposed of by directing the father of the plaintiffs to
pay the arrears of rent at the rate of Rs.75/ - per month.

default. An execution case was filed and the decree -
holder got possession of the said shop room by executing
the decree. Therefore, the instant suit in the present
