Manohar Lall, J.—This is an application by defendant 2 against a decree passed against him and defendant 1 for a sum of Rupees 48-12-0 on the basis o0f certain bahikhata account. The finding of the Court below is that the bahikhata account upon which the suit was based is a forgery, the figure "2" having been added to the admitted sum due of Rs. 48-12-0 thus altering it to Rs. 248 12-0. Upon this finding it is clear on the authority in Ram Autar Shukul Vs. Baldeo Shukul, that no decree can be passed even on the admitted sum due by the defendant.
