Judgment
The argument addressed to us is that the suit should have been dismissed, because it offended against Section 42, Specific Relief Act, in that
plaintiff could have claimed further relief than be did by suing either for redemption or for payment to him of the amount by which he alleged that
the consideration already paid was deficient. The answer as regards redemption is that the term fixed in the suit mortgage had not elapsed. The
answer as regards the deficient amount is that, as pointed out by Kumaraswami Sastri, J., in Abdul Hashm Sahib v. Kader Batcha Sahib 48 Ind.
Cas. 370 : 42 M.P 20 : 35 M.L.J. 740 : 8 L.W. 543 : (1918) M.W.N. 769 : 24 M.L.T. 478 plaintiff cannot be compelled to receive or claim the
balance payable, if he prefers to do without it, the amount eventually recoverable on the mortgage being only that actually advanced. The second
appeal is dismissed with costs.
