33. It is true Article 47 of the Limitation Act does not apply where there has been no order for possession by the Magistrate under Section 145, Criminal Procedure Code, and, "if the suit is one for a declaration of title only, to such a case Article 120 of the Limitation Act would apply, Jagatjit Singh v. Raja Partab Bahadur Singh, AIR 1942 PC 47 (II). But here, there is an order for possession by the Magistrate under Section 145, Criminal Procedure Code, against the plaintiffs and in favour of Naurang Singh, the ancestor of defendants 2 to 5, and the present suit is not only a suit for a declaration of their title to the property in possession of the defendants, but also for recovery of possession of the same. In such circumstances, Article 47 of the Limitation Act is the only article which would apply to the present case.
