Subramania Ayyar vs Swamunatha Ayyar on 15 November, 1933
Having regard to this well-understood distinction between the creditor's remedy in execution and the creditor's remedy by a separate suit, we are with due respect unable to follow the observations which were cited to us from certain decisions of the other High Courts which either ignore this distinction or proceed on a basis different from the Full Bench decision in Subramania Aiyar v. Sabapathy Ayyar (1927) 54 M.L.J. 726 : I.L.R. 51 Mad. 361 (F.B.), and hold that after a bona fide partition the father's creditor will not even have a right of suit against the sons.
