If it had been necessary for us to consider the question as to whether the suit was barred by the proviso to Section 42 of the Specific Relief Act,

we should have been prepared to hold that the suit was barred not on the ground taken by the learned Judge that consequential relief by way of

injunction ought to have been asked fore but on the ground that the plaintiff ought to have claimed, in addition to the declaration which he asked

for, payment to him by the 2nd defendant, of moneys in the hands of the 2nd defendant which but for the power of attorney would have been

payable by the 2nd defendant and the 1st defendant. See Kombi v. Aundi ILR 1892 M. 333.

based upon the power of attorney.

Appeal dismissed with costs.
