[RSA Nos.731/2012, 666/2012]
1. Since both these appeals arise from two suits–O.S
No.398/1996 and O.S No.604/1996–which were jointly tried
and disposed of by the Trial Court by a common judgment, I
dispose of these appeals by a common judgment.
2. The appellant is the plaintiff in both appeals. In O.S
No.398/1996 there are five defendants. In O.S No.604/1996, the
defendants 1 and 2 in O.S No.398/1996 are the defendants. The
defendants No.3 to 5 in O.S No.398/1996 are the relatives of
defendants 1 and 2 who support the defendants 1 and 2. The
dispute is essentially between the plaintiff and the defendants 1
and 2 in the suits. The defendants 1 and 2 are husband and
wife.
