Gopal Chandra Dutt vs Surendra Nath Dutt on 5 June, 1924
That is not the
position here. It should be remembered that the two
brothers were entitled to the G. P. Notes of the value of
Rs. 26,500 originally as joint coparceners and thereafter,
when the decree upon the award had been passed, as tenants-
in-common. Until actual partition by consent of the parties
or by court Gokul Chand, who held the custody of the G. P.
Notes, could not be said to have taken them wrongfully from
Raghunath Das and his possession of them could not be said
to be or to have become unlawful. These considerations
clearly distinguish this case from the case of Gopal Chandra
Bose v. Surendra Nath Dutt (1) on which the High Court
relied because in that case the defendant had no right to or
interest in the G. P. Notes in question and had no right to
retain possession thereof. Therefore, to the present
situation the terminus a quo specified in the third column
of Art. 49 can have no application. It is now well
established that a suit by an heir against other heirs to
recover his share of the moveable estate of a deceased
person is not one for

specific moveable property wrongfully taken such as is
contemplated by Art 49, but is governed by Art. 120.
