He, therefore, prayed for the passing of a decree for possession by annulment of sale. On April 28, 1973 the trial Court decreed the suit. On defendants' appeal, the lower appellate Court reversed the findings of the trial Court on the material issues and dismissed the suit. Hence this second appeal.
