A, claiming to be the chela and heir of a deceased mohunt sues B for rent of certain lands forming part of the estate of the mohunt. C claims that he, and not A, is the chela and heir of the deceased and that he is entitled to the rent. C is thereupon jointed as a defendant to the suit. The issues raised are: Whether A or C is the chela and heir of the mohunt? Whether any and if so what rent is due from B? The Court finds that A is the chela and heir of the mohunt. It also finds Rs. 2,500 due by B for rent, and A‟s claim is decreed. Subsequently, C sues A for a declaration that he is the chela and heir of the mohunt and claims that as such he is entitled to the whole of the property left by the mohunt. A contends that the question, who is the chela and heir of the deceased, is res judicata.
