From the headnote

which decided the suit (O.S. No. 731 of 1112) that R died in 1079 M. . or begl,nning of 1089 M. . [124· · · ] 1.2. It is true that the district Munsif who decided the said suit discussed the question of "defacto" or 'de jure" Karanavan but that judg· ment was not appealed from. This was the litigation which was started by the predecessors of defendants 2 to 19 and it was their evidence which the District Muns if was discussing and was relied upon by the lower appellate court. It cannot be said, in the circumstances, that the evidence by way of Ext. .14 was no evidence at all about the death
