It has been categorically recorded by the High Court that the First appellate Court had considered the evidence led on behalf of the parties and has given finding to come to the conclusions arrived at. It noted that the lower appellate Court had independently considered the evidence and had given different findings on the issues framed by the trial Court and on the basis of the arguments which were advanced before it. It was further noted that there was detailed discussion giving reasons for affirming the order of the trial Court. Learned counsel for the appellants had urged that the suit filed by the plaintiff was not maintainable as the plaintiff was the diocese represented by its procurator. It was submitted that the plaintiff is not entitled to any relief as was prayed for in the suit. This point was not urged before the High Court and, therefore, it would not consider necessary to go into that aspect. Judged in the background of legal principles set out above the judgment of the High Court does not suffer from any infirmity.
